I hope you're right, and that a Kerry administration would be more reasonable. From what he's said, however, I *am* cynical. In a nutshell, he would; -Continue the war in Iraq (Which he voted for as senator) -Continue the Patriot Act (Which he voted for as senator) -Raise taxes and increase spending -Increase entitlements -Prostrate the US to the UN and Europe Of other important policy decisions, he can't be pinned down to a specific answer. So now I can vote for Jack Johnson (Yale grad, skull bones member, rich due to inheritance) or John Jackson (ditto). Pardon me for failing to see a difference.

RE: The Turncoats on Niihau Island
Wow. What a dumb fuck this columnist is. No wait...this guy's got a gig and fuck the truth. I wonder how many of the Japanese in internment camps owned a Zero? And, if a Saudi citizen on our shores gets rowdy, should we round up Morrocans? (ie, Japan is a country and a nationality...Islam is neither.) -TD From: R. A. Hettinga [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The Turncoats on Niihau Island Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 08:09:02 -0400 http://www.townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/printmm20040810.shtml Townhall.com The Turncoats on Niihau Island Michelle Malkin (back to web version) | Send August 10, 2004 The following is an exclusive excerpt from Michelle Malkin's new book, In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror (Regnery). The Turncoats on Niihau Island Are you a Japanese? Those were the first English words spoken by downed Japanese fighter pilot Shigenori Nishikaichi on tiny Niihau Island, located about one hundred miles northwest of Honolulu. It was December 7, 1941. Nishikaichi had had a busy, bloody morning at Pearl Harbor. Now, with the aid and comfort of a Japanese-American couple, Nishikaichi was about to make the lives of the Niihau residents a living hell. Around 7:00 a.m., Nishikaichi boarded his Zero single-seat fighter plane and took off from the carrier Hiryu in the Pacific. An hour and a half later, the young Japanese pilot strafed planes, trucks, and personnel on Oahu. Headed back to his carrier, Nishikaichi and some fellow pilots encountered a group of American P36 fighter planes. During the air battle, Nishikaichi's plane took several hits. One punctured the Zero's gas tank. Nishikaichi steered the crippled plane toward the westernmost Hawaiian island: Niihau. Fewer than 200 Hawaiians plus three laborers of Japanese descent called Niihau home. Japan planned to use the island as a submarine pickup point for stranded pilots. Nishikaichi crash-landed the plane in a field near one of the ranch homes. The first to reach him was Hawila Howard Kaleohano, a burly Hawaiian. The island had no telephones. On that tranquil, late Sunday morning, none of the inhabitants was yet aware of the death and destruction that had just rained down on Pearl Harbor. Nonetheless, Kaleohano wisely confiscated the dazed Nishikaichi's gun and papers. Kaleohano, perhaps the most educated Hawaiian on Niihau, had been keeping tabs on world affairs through newspapers supplied by ranch owner Aylmer Robinson (who paid weekly visits to the island and lived twenty miles away on Kauai). Wary but warm, Kaleohano brought the enemy pilot to his home. Along the way, Nishikaichi asked Kaleohano if he was a Japanese. The answer was an emphatic No. After sharing a meal and cigarettes, Nishikaichi demanded that Kaleohano return his papers, which included maps, radio codes, and Pearl Harbor attack plans. Kaleohano refused. To make their communication easier, Kaleohano asked his neighbors to summon one of the island's three residents of Japanese descent to translate for Nishikaichi. They first brought a Japanese-born immigrant, Ishimatsu Shintani, to the house. He reluctantly exchanged a few words with the pilot in Japanese, but left in a hurry-apparently sensing trouble. The islanders then turned to Yoshio Harada and his wife Irene, both U.S. citizens, born in Hawaii to Japanese immigrants. Harada had moved from Kauai to California as a young man and lived there for seven years before relocating to Niihau with his wife in 1939. Instantly at ease with the Japanese-American couple, Nishikaichi dropped the bombshell news about the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Haradas did not inform their neighbors. That night, the hospitable Niihau residents learned about the Pearl Harbor attack on the radio. They decided to confine the pilot in the Haradas' home until help arrived. Exploiting their common ethnic ties and urging loyalty to the emperor, Nishikaichi won over the Haradas. They enlisted the other resident of Japanese descent-the skittish Shintani-in a conspiracy to retrieve Nishikaichi's papers from Kaleohano. On the afternoon of December 12, a reluctant Shintani visited Kaleohano and asked for the enemy pilot's papers. He offered his neighbor a wad of cash. Kaleohano refused. Shintani desperately told him to burn the papers. It was a matter of life and death, Shintani pleaded with Kaleohano. Kaleohano again refused. An hour later, Nishikaichi and the Haradas launched a campaign of terror against the islanders. They overtook the guard on duty and locked him in a warehouse. Mrs. Harada cranked up a phonograph to drown out the commotion. Yoshio Harada and Nishikaichi retrieved a shotgun from the warehouse and headed to Kaleohano's home. Kaleohano, who was in the outhouse, saw them coming and hid while Nishikaichi and his collaborators unsuccessfully searched for the pilot's papers. They recovered Nishikaichi's pistol and headed toward his grounded plane. Harada watched as

[HUMOR] [TSCM-L] (ot) weapons of math instruction (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 09 Aug 2004 22:08:14 -0700 From: Lawrence Dillard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [TSCM-L] (ot) weapons of math instruction At New York's Kennedy airport today, a high school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight with a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule and a calculator. Attorney General John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement and is charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. Al-gebra is a fearsome cult, Ashcroft said, They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns,' but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. Besides, the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say there are 3 sides to every triangle, Ashcroft declared. President Bush said, If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes. I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence, the President said, adding: Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line. President Bush warned, These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex. Ashcroft said, As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks. Yahoo!

Iowa Deploys Cell-Phone GPS location-tracking for 911
Iowa's deploying cell-phone location-trackers for 911, and for whatever other purposes the cellphones support. http://www.wqad.com/global/story.asp?shttp://www.WQAD.com/Global/story.asp?s=2150225 Des Moines, IA New technology will allow better response to 911 cell callers 08/09/04 10:35 AM DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Cell phone users in Iowa are getting a 911 upgrade. The state is among the first in the nation to use the new technology that will help dispatchers pinpoint the emergency caller. Iowa 911 Program Manager John Benson says it's already being tested in Des Moines, and the end of the year, about half of the state's 125 dispatch centers will have the upgrade. About half of Iowa's 911 calls are placed by cell phones. That's about 50,000 a month. Current technology allows dispatchers to locate a cell phone 911 caller by the nearest cell tower, often miles away. The new global-positioning technology provides the latitude and longitude of the caller, which can be electronically displayed on a map. Copyright 2004, Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

I can see fatherland securitat goons raiding a certain restaurant at Stanford next weekend ... assume all keys are compromised due to RH attack. The NSA has also found a silver lining to the use of encrypted e-mail: Even if a particular message cannot be read, the very use of encryption can flag it for NSA's attention. By tracking the relatively few Internet users in a certain country or region who take such security measures, NSA analysts might be able to sketch a picture of a terrorist network. ... And cell phones - as handy for terrorist plotters as for everyone else - provide not just an eavesdropping target but also a way to physically track the user.

Being still currently undecided myself (although living in one of the 32 or so 'pre-ordained' states) I found this speech to be most cynical, opportunistic, divisive, and un-American ones I've listend to in awhile. Define un-American, please? That was a direct quote from Howie Goodell's reply to me. I found it interesting that while the left continues to rail against everything Bush does, they use many (if not all) of the same tactics. Yet they are blind to that fact (willfully so). Neither side is willing to agree or concede on *any* point. While not a definition of 'un-american' in itself, is sure is a symptom.
Re: Michael Moore in Cambridge (download speech)
Since I introduced the term referring to the Bush Administration -- a poor attempt at irony, but what I had in mind was the sort of American ideals embodied in our Declaration of Independence, preamble and Constitution and Bill of Rights, along with the ways these ideals worked in practice to help create a much more desirable society over the past couple centuries than countries similarly blessed with resources (Russia, Argentina.) So a few examples. More than any administration I can remember since Nixon's, this administration has disregarded, actively opposed, or perverted: Declaration of Independence: equality, human rights. Preamble to the Constitution: a more perfect Union, justice, liberty Constitution -- torn down separation of powers, many others Bill of Rights -- read the list! Mr. Moore's speech was a rallying cry to take back our government. Would John Kerry drag us into Iraq? Would he run obscene deficits? (Hint: check his record from Graham Rudman on.) Would he raid the last of the Social Security surplus to line his friends' pockets? He may have voted for Patriot I (along with virtually the whole Congress), but he's making restoring our rights a major issue. I think one of the philosophers said the key to knowledge is not seeing similarities, but differences.
