In the quest for "Equality"
I support women in the military, though I'm not necessarily a fan of women in combat roles. I think it's OK for men to be a little stubborn with that position. We can be a little chivalrous, after all, that's a benefit of being the most powerful military force on the planet. HOWEVER, I do want to point out an example of what a great job some women are doing in Iraq.
While I'm at it, here's a great post showing why Condi will make an EXCELLENT Secretary of State. She has great potential to encourage women's rights initiatives all over the world.
Since I've already addressed changes in the cabinet here, what about Bill Cosby as Secretary of Education? Sounds interesting. [2] [3] I wonder if this is the start of something?

Emerging Democracy
So far 127 Political Parties have requested recognition in Iraq. Most of these parties won't make it into any national level office; But it'll certainly be interesting to see. At least it gives the blogoshpere a whole bunch of new search terms.

Good News from Iraq -- And Dolphins!!
The mainstream media still refuses to tell Americans about the good things happening everyday in Iraq. Fortunately, the Wall Street Journal and an Australian Blogger have filled the void.
CHRENKOFF'S Report on the past two weeks in Iraq.
Dolphins are getting some good press today. Here are some Dolphins in Iraq, keeping humans safe because they're trained to. And HERE are some Dolphins keeping people safe because they want to.
Maybe it's time to take a closer look at these aquatic buddies.

Yasser died from a "ray-gun"
Ok, so the title is misleading, but come on people.
So now we have Mohsen Arafat, Yasser's brother, says that the Palestinian's chief terrorist was killed by poison. Regardless of what the French medical report says.
Mohsen Arafat claims that "There exists poisons which effects vanish a few hours later." Wha? Wha? What? Do I see here an attempt to inflame the Palestinian people against Israel because Mohsen here claims that Arafat was poisoned, by a phantom unknown agent that disappeared from discovery a few hours later? What does he base this on? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
It gets worse. Mohsen Arafat also claims that it's possible such a phantom disappearing poison was "administered using radioactive means." So lemme get this straight.
According to Moshen Arafat (Yasser's brother):
Yasser Arafat was taken out by the Israelis via a ray-gun that infected Yasser with a phantom poison, which also disappeared leaving no trace. This poison also happened to cause death while displaying symtoms approximating AIDS. [1] [2]
The world has gone mad. Oh, yeah, it was already mad, it's just gotten a little madder. (Pun intended.)

The Kyoto Push
I know it's not popular to say this, but I have to. The KYOTO ACCORDS are a bad idea, propagated on bad science and will serve to be a destructive force for the world.
What? Wait a minute Jason, what are you saying? How can you be against the environment, how can you rant against the Kyoto Accords?
The examination of Kyoto has to start at the question "Why Kyoto?"
The Accords were suggested, obstensibily, in the hopes that the industrialized nations could establish an "industrial status quo" with regard to the emmission of so called "greenhouse gasses." The next step is the reduction of gas emmissions worldwide. While this is a noble effort and certainly one worth considering, the true motives and reasons are more complex.
If the true goal were the reduction of greenhouse gasses, the accords would have addressed the unfettered slash and burn practices of the rainforests. Only lip service is given to this issue in the accords. tens of thousands of acres of rainforest in equatorial regions are decimated daily in the third world. The forest is removed to create pastureland that remains fertile for a brief time then the thin topsoil washes away creating landscapes that resemble the surface of the moon. NOTE: The rainforests are the #1 converter of the most evil of the greenhouse gasses, carbon dioxide, into oxygen, which is considered to be a "safe" gas. Rather than keep the ecological scrubbers natural to the planet, the Kyoto accords simply blame the industrialized nations for the problem, and create ticking time bombs of pollution in the third world.
While the industrialized nations are ordered to reduce emissions, third world nations are allowed, even encouraged to up their emission levels. A step further allows developing nations to "sell" their surplus emission allotments to other nations so they can remain inside the agreed upon levels. This is a bad idea on it's face, and even more insidious when you look behind the curtain.
The Kyoto Accords are condemning developing nations to pre-idustrialized status. Emission brokering will become the next "oil-for-food" fiasco, as third world potentates and dictators will sell off the economic future of their countries to larger nations who will in turn promise hard currency, manufactured goods and perhaps even kickbacks and military/economic development scenarios.
To top it all off? The science is bad. There's no concusive evidence that the planet is warming. In fact, for every scientific and anecdotal study that says the planet is warming, there's a counter study that says it's cooling.
The fact is that we don't know enough about what's going on with the world. Most of the data used to support global warming is coming from data collected in relative proximity to population centers. Put 10 people in a small room for an hour without any outside source of air conditioning, wait an hour and see what the temperature does. Or you could lay an acre of bright white cement and then put a thermometer in the center and locate another 50 ft from the slab and compare the temperature readings. In both cases you'll see that population and development increases local temperature.
Now get on a boat and travel to the center of any ocean. Drop a bouy with a thermometer on it and study those results. Yep, you've guessed it, the temperatures away from population centers are actually going down decade after decade.
The simple common sense truth is that we have no idea what's really going on with the warming and cooling of the earth. The Earth has been around longer than most people can conceive of. We have lots of theory and conjecture and even some sound scientific hypothesis about the mechanics of our environment, but we don't have anything that we can look at as fact. We're playing a whole new game with mother nature and given the size and scope of the playground, it's doubtful at this juncture that we're able to even field a team that can play with the old mother, let alone beat her at her own game.
I'm proud of the Clinton administration's initial obstructionist tactics when Kyoto started to turn into pop science. I'm even more proud of the Bush administrations' refusal to continue with the process in Kyoto. The popular opinion influences were turning against the demonstrated science. Any suggestion from NASA or any other scientific body that the Earth was actually cooling in some studies was met with jeers and attacks on the presenters, howling protests from eco-warriors and vicious personal attacks on the presenters.
Faced with the opposition science, the Kyoto group attacked the US, saying that "of course the world's largest polluter would present such 'manipulation' of commonly held opinion." Yes, the Kyoto signatories agreed that the Accords were based on "OPINION" not fact. The group looked at a political situation without regard to the science.
Of course cars are bad, but so is burning the rainforest, of course polluting coal fired electric plants are bad, but so are volcanos (which actually cool the planet btw). The simple truth is that all the money being poured into Kyoto based programs aren't being supported by scientific discoveries, they are based on pop science and politics. The Kyoto Accords are more about the redistribution of wealth on a global scale than they are about "fixing" the planet. A planet I add, that may not need fixing.
Rather than pouring money into an unknown "green hole", I suggest that we continue to fund and even increase funding for "true" scientific study of the history of the global climate. Lets get the ball rolling on Arctic and Antarctic ice core projects, lets get some more satellites into space to conduct a detailed planetary temperature study, lets approach the problem with common sense solutions that address the real issues rather than slapping band-aids on non-existant cuts and saying that we cured cancer.
Pollution is bad, we need to continue the development of hybrid vechicles of all types (here's a hybrid SUV), we need to help the developing nations meet their ecologic and energy needs without having to pass through the dark-ages of our own industrial revolution. We need to actively work with the third world to exploit, solar, wind, wave, water and geotherm energy production so they don't have to cut down rainforests for firewood, or burn noxious coal. We need to let industrialized nation's agribusiness interests enter into emerging markets to bring effective soil management practices worldwide. And we need to bring a new "Global Corps of Engineers" into being to work to correct and manage many of the worlds largest ecosystems for their effective long term stability.
For milenia, mankind has worked in harmony with nature, and nature has worked with mankind to provide for the development of the most successful species ever to move across the planet. We've integrated ourselves into every corner of the planets ecosphere, we've harnessed the resources and found the logical extentions of what the planet has to offer us; we moved from buring dung to burning wood, from wood to coal, coal to oil, oil to nuclear, then with this surplus, we've explored solar, wind, water, wave and geotherm technology. All of these sources of energy are a continuum of process. We'll continue to harness new and less polluting sources of energy as we progress.
Throw money at this process! Don't throw money toward hamstringing the economic drivers of the world economy; don't throw money to encourage development of "dirty" technology in the third world so they can "live up to" their quotas. Finally, throw money at those efforts that will give us a deeper understanding of what's actually going on, so we can have scientific fact on our side as we move forward rather than protests and propaganda that only assert that the sky is falling.
The Earth is not a political play-toy, it's our home. It's been around longer than we have, and will be around long after we're gone. We've certainly had our effect on it, but the ecosystem has the ability to shrug us off any any time if it so sees fit. We're going to have ice ages and periods of global warming again, and again, and again, it's better that we try to understand what these processes are rather than try to think we somehow have the ability to control it. Lets concentrate on getting off the rock before it shrugs us off before we try to start figuring out how to reverse ice ages or air condition the planet.
It's just common sense.

How the Dems stole Christmas
Here's a very telling and quite disturbing post found on one of the leading sites for Democrat whining. If you have a few minutes, explore the rantings found there. Just don't do so right after taking a shower, cause I'm sure you'll need another after a few minutes of reading their vitriol and conspiracy theories.

They found God
So I was watching Hannity & Colmes last night. Well I wasn't exactly watching, it was just running in the background while I was doing other stuff. A little way in I noticed that Ann Coulter was on repping the right and Bob Beckel was giving the left perspective, Shaun and Alan were doing their thing.
I've heard Bob and Ann go at it before, so I kinda tuned it out. Then about halfway through, I heard Beckel say something along the lines of ". . . well, my faith says . . ." Wha Wha WHAT?!?!?!
Now I've listened to Beckel with interest through the election and heard him prop the adgenda of the left, but this was the first time I'd heard him mention faith. So I listened more.
Here's Beckel saying with every other breath, "my God. ." this and "my Faith" that. Then he busted into talking about the Bible and how it says this and that. I was floored. Never before had I heard this Mondale crony talk about religion or God in a positive way. In fact, leading up to the election he was deriding the christian conservatives and bashing every appeal to God and faith he could muster.
Well I guess this quantum shift in Democrat strategy stems from their belief that they don't have enough God in their party. I'd imagine that democrat strategists all over the country are now quietly reading their family bibles, trying to see what they can pull from it to further their cause. I shudder at the thought that the left is now pouring through scripture looking for catchpharases they can insert in their next campaigns, but I guess it was to be expected.
Personally, I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God, Religion, Heaven or Hell. I think we get one spin around this big blue marble and that's it. The one thing that always kept me looking left from time to time was their conviction that religion and God has no place in politics. I guess that's all coming to an end as they realize they need embrace God and religion to try and win back some votes. Even Hillary has been making more and more references to faith and God in her speeches.
So I did some looking around and, LO AND BEHOLD, I found this little tidbit about our latest and greatest Bible-Thumper.

These guys are great.
I found this series on accident a few weeks ago. I'd watched a couple of the episodes and laughed, cried; the whole gambit of emotions washed over me. I didn't think much about them until today when I came across this. I thought I'd share it here. You'll need Quicktime to view it. Don't worry it's not political.

Home away from home?
Scientists have found the first extra-solar (outside of our local solar system) planet that could possibly be habitable by humans at some point. At the very least, this is the first extra-solar planet upon which a probe from Earth could actually "touch down".
For the last few years, scientists have been scrambling to look at nearby stars in the hopes that planets would be discovered orbiting. So far about 125 such planets have been found and until now they've mainly been "gas giant" planets similar to Saturn and Jupiter.
Finding these gargantuan planets was the first step to looking for smaller rocky planets. Such smaller planets could one day be landed upon by probes sent from Earth.
Well the jackpot just hit, a rocky planet has been found orbiting around the star mu Arae, which is a mere 50 light years away from us. Mu Arae is a star similar to our sun in it's intensity and the as yet unnamed planet orbits in a region similar to Mars and Earth's in our solar system. The planet itself is about 14 times the size of Earth (about the size of Uranus), and does possess an atmosphere which makes up about 10 percent of the planets mass. Unlike Uranus (which is a smaller version of the gas giant Jupiter) this new rocky world may very well lie in the so called "goldilocks zone" which is a narrow temperature band where liquid water can exist on a planet with a suitable atmosphere. Also remarkable about this planet is it's obital velocity. The planet is rocketing around it's solar parent in just 9.5 days.
While it's unlikely that humans will ever set foot on this particular new world, the discovery is a milestone in the search for new planets that could support life and possibly one day be visited by humans or probes from Earth. As we refine our search techniques and can now positively identify smaller and smaller worlds, it's just a matter of time before we can find a new "home away from home".
I'll keep ya'll informed about any new developments with our new neighbor.

Fallujah battle winding down.
It seems as though the heavy fighting in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah is coming to an end. Pro-Iraqi and Coalition forces now hold 100% of the city and all that's left seems to be some mopping up.
While it's obvious that some insurgent forces escaped and there is still some opposition in areas like Ramadi, the situation in Iraq is definately improving.
Import/Export trade is almost at pre-1991 levels and the Dinar is stronger than it's ever been. Electricity production is at an all time high, fresh water production is at record levels for the region and still increasing, and more children are in school now in Iraq than ever before.
With elections just two short months away, there's definately light at the end of the tunnel.
But for you war junkies out there, I found some video you might like.

Afgan Roses?
Ironic as it may seem, the rose may be replacing the poppy as the primary agriculture export of Afganistan.
Afganistan is known worldwide for it's Poppy cultivation; the mountainous nation supplies 85% of Europe's Opium market, but with democracy comes common sense and many of Afganistan's poppy farmers are switching to a Bulgarian rose. The rose harvest can be converted into Rose Oil which is used for perfumes. The oil is high profit, easily transportable and in high demand.
While the opium market may seem to be a more lucrative venture for Afgani farmers, it's not necessarily so. The European Opium market is estimated to be around $40 Billion US per year, but only about about 2.5B of that remains in Afganistan. The bulk of the opium profits are made by middlemen and dealers, while the poppy farmers receive almost nothing comparatively.
In addition there's been the nature of the opium industry itself; Corrupt officials who may support your crop one day, can turn on you the next. Smugglers can steal your harvest, and sometimes you just simply don't get paid.
With democracy taking hold in Afganistan for the first time ever, foreign investors are flocking to the nation to take advantage of the regions strengths. In the case of the Rose, the dry climate is perfectly suited for the production of high oil-yield roses.
The rose oil industry is not estimated to completely wipe out poppy production, as where there's a market, someone will supply it. But the Rose Oil industry does have promise to displace the Poppy in many of Afganistan's best growing regions as on a per hectare basis, the cultivation of roses is up to 50% more profitable than poppy productions on the same land. Also,the risk reduction in switching to a legal and easily handled crop is further reason for the Afgani farmers to make the switch.
It's a small step, but it's in the right direction. For decades, instability has necessitated that farmers get by with whatever product they could get to market, for many years, the Poppy was highly desired by terrorists and warlords for it's ease of production and high profitability. Now that farmers can work more for themselves and strive to build a legitimate agri-business, we will hopefully see some stabilization in agricultural incomes and further development.
Most people think that Afganistan is a barren rocky wasteland. Partly true, the terrain of Afganistan is difficult to manage without significant terra-forming, but with a free and stable government developing, foreign investment will continue to flow into Afganistan. Along with foreign farming practices and infrastructure support to terra-form areas of the country for Agri-business purposes.
The Afganistan Government has the opportunity now to exploit the natural resources that have so long been denied. Substantial oil reserves in the North can now be accessed and with the use of modern extraction technology; Afganistan can have oil flowing north to the former Soviet Union, east to China and south the the Persian Gulf. The export opportunities for oil are the most attractive for Afganistan, but there are also opportunities for natural gas, coal, iron, copper and gemstone production.
I know it's probably hard to think of Afganistan and agriculture in the same thought, most envision it as a dusty desert. So to help you think of the possibilities for Afganistan in the future, I'll leave you with these two pictures.
Afganistan Agricultural Potential 1
Afganistan Agricultural Potential 2
With a little help and American "know how" we can turn most of Afganistan just as green as these areas.

Well? Now What?
Hmmm....
It's been a week now. I'd promised myself that I'd wait a week before updating because I didn't want this site to evolve into another rightwing nutjob site. I didn't want to hash out the election over and over. I'll make mention of it of course, but I wanted to let the fever die down out there.
But is the fever dying down?? Or is the new American pass-time a game that includes:
Self-serving, Look at me, I hate myself and my country drivel?
Racist, Bigoted, Insulting, Profane Rantings?
Conspiracy Theories taken as fact?
And the media embracing "false but accurate" reporting?
It's been horrible to watch this whining, sniveling bunch of the sorest losers ever to go through their death throws. There are even people in Florida trying to describe this as "Post-election stress disorder" and they're trying to say that some kid was distraught over the election and decided to "blow his head off with a shotgun in downtown manhattan?" Gimme a break. In the first case, YOU LOST, GET OVER IT! In the second, there was definately something else going on there, it's hard enough to walk around NYC with a shotgun, let alone blow your OWN head off with one.
So can we expect now that people will try to claim disability because their presidential candidate lost? Yeah, I'm sure someone will try to sue Bush, or Rove, or the RNC, or the Swifties or even the DNC and the Kerry Kamp. They'll claim that their negligance or some BS cost them their electoral rights and they now need a stipend from the government so they can sit around and bitch about the government all day. It's out there, just around the corner folks.
But Hey, it's time to move on, and for me, it's great news that Bush is President. He's the guy I voted for, not because of the War on Terror, or for the return of family values, not for anything other than he was my guy, the guy that I trusted, the guy that didn't defame my dad's service in Vietnam, the guy that I believe will do better job with the economy, the guy that I believe will do a better job with education, the guy that I believe will do a better job on balancing America's responsibility to the world and her responsibility to her citizens.
That's the whole point right? America is supposed to work toward her own self-interests first right??? Isn't that the whole point of this geo-political game. To make the world better by starting right here in the USA. Yeah, that's why I voted for Bush, PURE SELF INTEREST. I like my Freedom, and I like being on top of the charts when it comes to things like money, shelter, security, cool gadgets, new toys and free time. I'm glad that I don't live a subsistence "lifestyle" in some third world country.
I'm glad that I have the time to expound about what I like or don't like about my country, my fellow citizens or the world in general. I'm glad that I don't have to go out and stand in lines to get my basic food needs met, only to have that food hoarded by a bunch of thugs with guns.
I'm glad that I drive a SUV, and I'm not upset about the price of gas. I'm glad that I get to have my MTV, FOXNEWS, CSPAN, HBO, History Channel, Nickelodeon and PBS. I'm glad that we're fighting over there, rather than in our grade schools and supermarkets. I'm quite comfortable with my life; I'd like it to be better, and it does get better every day.
I think "W - The President", has done a damn good job in a difficult time for this nation, and I want him to have a full term where he's not bound by the electoral politics that hinder real progress.
So I'm moving on and looking at the world with a sharper focus now.
More soon. . .

Election eve prediction...
Submitted for your approval, or more likely your ridicule, I present my predictions for the National Election, and some general predictions for the next four years and the future.
1. Bush will win the popular vote with 54.5%; Nader and the others will pull slightly more than 1 percent with the remainder falling on Kerry.
2. Bush will carry 40 states in the Electoral College.
3. Kerry will concede on election night.
4. Republicans will control the house by 20%. Republicans will have a 9 vote lead in the Senate.
5. Court battles will be "token" in nature; most will be quietly backed away from with a few minor skirmishes here and there.
6. There will however be an investigation into keeping Nader off the ballot and indictments will be handed down. I suggest that the conspiracy will number between 20 and 30 people.
7. John Edwards will slowly fade into obscurity, make a brief run and the presidential nomination for 2008 and quietly back out to make way for Hilary Clinton.
8. Spontaneous displays of support for George Bush will erupt in Iraq. Democrat operatives in urban areas will instigate small scale rioting.
9. Teresa will make some gaff or some gesture that will be picked up by the media and fully seal John Kerry's fate. John Kerry will not run for re-election to the Senate.
10. Dan Rather will announce his retirement by January.
11. The stock market will hit 11K in the third week of December, there will be a brief dip at Christmas, then after the turn of the year, it will climb past 11K again.
12. Each major automaker will have a hybrid SUV within the next 4 years. Mercedes and Porsche will also introduce high dollar SUV's that will be well received.
13. The US will force to the UN to send peacekeepers to Africa, France will oppose the makeup of the forces.
14. There will be a revolution in Nigeria. France will be exposed as guilty in a corruption scandal in the country and the scandal will bring Chirac's resignation.
15. Asian banks will short the Euro; eventually the Zeropeans will require a World Bank loan guaranteed by the United States to stabilize their currency. EU nations will try, but fail to organize a rescue of the Zeropean currency.
16. Civil Unions will be suggested and passed into US law in 2006. The move will come after a majority of states outlaw gay marriage and the Supreme Court of the US will uphold the states elections on the issue. There will be little to no resistance to Civil Unions.
17. The US will implement a guest worker program for immigrant workers. The Guest Worker will have 4 weeks to secure and report employment, be fingerprinted, and photographed. Dna Samples may also be collected. Guest Workers will be required to renew their Guest Worker card every 6 months.
18. The United States will begin to decommission 4 Oil Refineries in the US. Two new refineries will be approved to replace them. Plans will be made to modernize all US Oil Refineries by 2018.
19. Fuel Cells for homes will become available through the local utility, but will not be available for private automobiles.
20. Tort Reform will pass with standards set for bodily injury; penalty judgments will be limited to 25 years of lost earnings.
21. The us will adopt a national sales tax or "fair" tax. This tax will replace personal and corporate income taxes.
22. A new Pope will be selected in 2005 and will announce plans for a Vatican 3.
23. England will hold early general elections in February and Blair's party will win in a landslide.
24. Germany will emerge at the leading power of the EU.
25. The governments of Iran and Syria will fall, as well as N. Korea and Saudi Arabia. (The House of Saud will take up residence in France.)
26. Bush will initiate Health Insurance reform, requiring insurance companies to issue a schedule of rates for coverage in states they operate in. Individuals will be able to purchase policies at these rates as well as Small Businesses. These rates will be tied to corporate rates with published percentage differences.
27. Giuliani/Rice will be the popular Republican pick for the 2008 nod.
28. In his final two years of office, George Bush will set in motion great reforms for NASA.
A location for the first "Earthport" will be selected. The site will straddle Libya and Egypt who will receive major technological and manufacturing investment in return for the territory.
NASA's budget will be increased by a factor of 5, paving the way for a Moon colony (mandate by 2015) and the first manned trip to Mars (mandate by 2018).
Of course, this whole set of predictions could be wiped out by tomorrow night, but who knows, it'll be fun to look back at them later and see what happens and what doesn't.

Shots Fired in Korea
South Korean warships fired warning shots at North Korean Navy vessels this morning.
North Korean Navy warships crossed into South Korean waters prompting the exchange; each incident ended without return fire from the North Koreans.
Hopefully this is just some navy captains getting uppity with each other.
