The hell it is.
John Kerry makes me weak in the ankles - and now it's personal, not business.
In the next few days, there will be a person reporting for duty in Iraq. His name is Army Capt. Peter J. Dunleavy.
Capt. Peter J. Dunleavy is not one ounce more special than the guys and gals he will go to Iraq with - no more special than the thousands of the brave boys and girls who have gone before him, and those who will certainly go after him.
He is, of course, special to his wife, Debbie, his mother, Gloria, his brother, Sean, Sean's girlfriend, Laura - and his friends in the sports bars who cheer for the Giants.
He is special to me, as are all the thousands of boys and girls who serve this country, because he looks at fear as a headache and duty as the ultimate.
And yet, John Kerry makes it look like those guys and gals are just victims - wrong war, wrong time, wrong place.
How dare he say that to our brave boys and girls? How dare he whisper it - let alone shout it to the whole world?
Now I am somewhere in Oklahoma to see off Capt. Pete, 37, my eldest boy. I ask him what he makes of Kerry's talk.
"Dad, we don't listen to politicians. We listen to our commanding officers," he says, growing bored already with the conversation.
I ask him where he is going in Iraq, what he will be doing, as all the worried parents of so many thousands of brave boys and girls surely do.
"Don't know. I'll just go where I am needed," he says matter-of-factly.
Sunday he left for another base, where he will be re-equipped, before taking off to Iraq in a few days.
On Saturday night, Pete and wife Debbie, a reservist in the Navy, had their last night out for a long time - at the Navy Ball.
It was there that Pete was given the official honor of re-enlisting his wife for another two years.
Capt. Pete is not worried about Kerry's outrageous statement - wrong war, wrong time, wrong place - because he's stronger and braver than that.
But I sure am worried.
In my book, Kerry is giving comfort and succor to the enemy. And don't forget that Tokyo Rose got jail time for it after World War II, and Jane Fonda, Kerry's soul mate, should have during Vietnam.
"Look, don't worry. I have been in the Reserves for more than 10 years - we are all well-trained, well-equipped," said Capt. Pete.
"To be honest, apart from having to leave Debbie back here, I'm psyched," he told me. "It's a privilege to serve and be given a new chapter of experience.
"I'll just knock this tour over and get on with it. No biggie."
I was in Baghdad last year, and it was very easy for me. Death was everywhere, but no one was shooting at me.
But that won't be the case for Pete and the men and women with him.
"Dude, don't worry about it," Capt. Pete says again.
And that's the attitude of the thousands below him and above him, the brave men and women doing the fighting.
But this father does worry - and worries even more about John Kerry.
When John Kerry says wrong war, wrong time, wrong place he undermines not my boy, but our boys. He embarrasses the United States abroad and he saps morale.
And that demands the severest reprimand. It is duplicity and cowardice and political opportunism of the worst kind. It's enough to make you cry.
I don't care what's on your watch, Sen. Kerry, this one's on my watch.
And then we come to the final "see ya later" at the airport. We hugged - and I couldn't talk.
Then I felt something strange - for the first time, after a lifetime of feeling like an adolescent, I felt old. Sending a kid off to war does that, I guess.
So Capt. Peter J. Dunleavy - and all the guys and gals that are going with you, and all that are there, and all that will come after you - go for the sake of our freedom. For the sake of your wife Debbie's freedom, your mother Gloria's freedom, your brother Sean's freedom, his girlfriend Laura's freedom - and the freedom of the boys in the sports bars cheering for the Giants.
Heck, for the sake of your dog's freedom. His name is Salty Dog. He loves you so much.
To you and all your comrades: Go with God.

A couple of days after Christmas we headed to Sea World thanks to the kindness of one of Grandma Kate's co-workers we got free tickets. The crew consisted of me, Rian, Grandma B, Aunt Jane, and the Critters. It was a bit blustery that day so we had to bundle up. Luckily, most of the animals don't really care if it is cold outside since they are under water or used to it.
The Critters loved it there. There were tons of animals and shows that they actually sat through without fussing. There was even a show with a sea otter in it, which of coarse thrilled CarCar. Haddie was also over the moon that they had manatees, albeit hurt ones, but manatees all the same.
Of coarse we had to do the Shamu show and we had to sneak into the handicap section to find seats. The weird thing is the handicap seats are right at the edge of the splash zone. Doesn't really seem like an appropriate location to me. Nonetheless we stretched the truth about Haddie's broken leg, we failed to mention that it was broken four months earlier and was fully healed. Oh well, no one came to try to sit in the seats anyway.
We headed back to Grandma Kate's after a long day. I definitely would like to head back, maybe when it is just a little bit warmer out though.
Here are a few pics:
Probably not the recommended seating placement.
The pirate show that we went to. Yes that is a seal standing up.
The star of the show according to CarCar. Yep, an otter with a treasure map in its mouth.
The whole crew by the manatees.
Haddie and the 'Mannie."
Grandma B with the girls.
CarCar and the dolphin.
I had to take a picture of this for CarCar.
Some sort of "Christmas Dolphin" character.
Shamu and baby Shamu.
It was pretty amazing seeing them scoot back into the water.
Part of the Grand Finale.

AL South
Little Rock Boulders- ($18.25m/year) Arte's ML team has only one IFA, Ruben Dali, who signed in season 4. Since then, Arte has continuously cut funding to this endeavor, which has shown in the quality of prospect he has signed. See Hector Rodriguez, Brian Wanatabe, and Al Guerrero as evidence of the reductio in quality prospects. So then it isn't particularly condemning or unfair to give out an F grade here.
Texas Black Socks- ($27.5m/year) noccolo has clearly increased his focus on IFAs simply based on his spending pattern, but it is only now beginning to pay dividends. Pat Zhang is a nice pick up out of Japan who will put up good numbers in the Bigs. Beyond him, Texas has netted some guys who could fill out their bullpen, with Carlos Colon and Delino Castillo. Will give a grade of C here to a team with 4 IFAs on the ML club.
Memphis Elvi- ($16m/year) mh17 has never put a whole lot of investment into signing IFAs. In fact, the largest signing bonus a prospect received was 1.3 million to Al Garrido. Other players who've been signed include Bartolo Gonzalez, Manuel Lopez, and Lou Roundtree. Still, an increased amount allotted to int'l scouting seems to hint that mh17 may soon become a player on the IFA market. But still for now, an F grade, noting that 2 IFAs at the big league level.
Nashville Hound Dogs- ($18m/year) This is another franchise that has never spent a lot towards getting top end IFAs, but as a result of an extra large prospect budget this past season, psanders84 landed Sammy Martin, who I see topping out as a #2/#3 starter, only because he isn't great with righties. Beyond him there is Harry Alvarado, who ought to break through to the ML level because of his great defense with a below average bat. The only other player that's been signed is Bernie Garces. Nashville has 3 IFAs at the show, and a grade here of C.

State and local law enforcement officers raided a massive illegal marijuana garden estimated at 32,000 plants -- worth $128 million -- in a remote area of the Hidden Villa land Thursday, according to Santa Clara County Sgt. Ed Wise.
Besides being kind of incredible, this is actually kind of scary, considering the deadly shootout that took place two years ago under similar circumstances near Los Gatos. One loyal reader, who also came up with the title for this post when he imagined police burning the plants to destroy them, immediately zeroed in on the fact that the $4,000-per-plant estimate may be a little high. "Maybe a weed tree is worth that much," he said.
This story raises a whole lot of questions. Who was responsible for this? How did they get in there unnoticed? Does anybody really believe that the financially struggling hippies at Hidden Villa were unaware this was going on? Will this finally get people to consider decriminalization?
The one I'm most excited about, however, is whether the Town Crier will write an editorial trumpeting this as an important victory in the war on drugs, or opt not to cover it at all because it is not the kind of good news that readers expect.

[Gazette Blog Editor's note: Here's an Easter message that will resonate with those of you not greatly enamored of organized religion. And it resonates with me for another reason as well: it provides an answer to those, including The Consort, who exhort me to let the Payson Roundup off the hook for the dastardly act of firing me for telling the truth (and for their continuing practice of shoddy journalism). How many times have I heard "Let it go." Just as many times as I've answered "Never." Now when they exhort, I can simply refer people to the following brilliant column. And Happy Easter.]
By Robert J. Burrowes
Nation of Change Op-Ed
Certain religious traditions, including Christianity, emphasize
the importance of forgiveness. I want to explain why forgiveness
is misconceived and, therefore, a bad idea. And why there are
important psychological reasons for this. In essence, the key question is
this: What is the appropriate psychological response to inappropriate
behavior if we want change in the direction of improved functionality in
Hominids evolved over millions of years giving evolution a
tremendous amount of time to produce a species that was both physically
and psychologically functional. By giving homo sapiens the potential to
have emotions such as love, compassion, empathy and sympathy, as well as
the mental function of conscience, humans have the potential to develop
an enormously powerful 'built in' moral compass – what Gandhi called
their 'inner voice' – to guide their life. And if you follow these
internal guides, you do not behave in ways that are moral or immoral
according to some social prescription, you are doing what is functional.
Moreover, this might include conscientious disobedience of an unjust law.
A functional human society nurtures our genetic potential rather
than trying to replace it with socially determined laws, rules,
commands, morality, ethics and religious guidance, many of which run
counter to what evolution intended. Obviously and tragically, modern
societies fail to nurture our genetic potential and the failure of the
externally imposed legal, moral and religious code to be widely
internalized is palpably obvious for everyone to see: we live in a world
of phenomenal violence. See 'Why Violence?'
If someone behaves badly towards you for no reason that can be traced
to your own behavior, they do so because their mental processes are
not functioning as evolution intended, probably because of previous
social interference. This means that the feedback they are using about
your behavior has been inaccurately perceived by their sensing
capacities (particularly their hearing and sight), the feedback has been
inaccurately interpreted by their mental functions (which must include
memory, intellect and emotional responses in this context) and/or there
is asignificant dysfunction in the connection between how they intend
to behave and how they actually behave.
Whatever the cause of their abusive behavior, however, the person
needs accurate feedback about their behavior in order to be able to
correct their misperception, misinterpretation or dysfunctional response.
And they will learn most quickly and benefit most directly by receiving
honest feedback about their behavior. Forgiveness is simply inappropriate
and most unhelpful and people who are 'forgiven' are given neither
important feedback nor appropriate incentive to reflect on the cause of
their behavior and its adverse consequences. And those who forgive are
doing them a great disservice.
Interestingly, if we consider why people forgive, we will usually
find that it is not out of any magnanimous or charitable motive. People
usually forgive because they are afraid to challenge the poor behavior of
others. And they then dress it up with something like 'it enables us to
move forward'. The problem is this, however. If the person has not
received honest feedback about their behavior and made some effort to
understand why it occurred in order to be able to act differently in
the future, then the likelihood is that the person will repeat the bad
behavior at the next opportunity, even if they have been forgiven.
To reiterate: Most people who seek forgiveness are scared of
being held accountable for their behavior. Most people who offer
forgiveness are scared of holding people accountable for their behavior.
Forgiveness and fear usually go together.
So what do we do instead? If someone has behaved inappropriately
towards you, the courageous way forward is to have your own natural
emotional response to this behavior whether it is sadness, anger, fear or
calm acceptance. Once you have given appropriate attention to your
own feelings, which will guide you to defend yourself vigorously if this
is necessary, you also have the option, if you feel able to do so, to
provide listening so that the person behaving badly can work out why they
did so and work out what will need to happen so that they can avoid
behaving badly in the future.
This might require considerable emotional healing. It also requires
that the conflict be engaged with compassion and without blame or
punishment by the listener. However, if either you or the other person
does not feel the feelings about the conflict, then it cannot be resolved
and these feelings(which may well be suppressed below conscious
awareness) will undermine any effort to achieve resolution irrespective
of the sophistication of your conflict resolution process.
The listener might start by asking questions such as: 'how did you
feel at the time? Why did you behave in this way? What was happening for
you that made this happen?' And then listen to the person who behaved
badly while they try to work this out by feeling the feelings raised by
such questions; this might involve uncovering deeply suppressed feelings
about how they were treated as a child. For more information about this,
see'Fearless Psychology and Fearful Psychology: Principles and Practice.'Whether
you are the person to listen or they should seek out someone else to
listen, is something you should consider carefully. No one is
the appropriate listener in every context, no matter how good they are
The outcome for which to aim is enhanced mutual understanding and
improved behavior on the part of the perpetrator. If the perpetrator
genuinely understands why they behaved as they did and understands what
they need to change, and is willing to undertake to do this, and the
victim understands this as well, then mutual understanding, acceptance
and trust is theappropriate and desirable outcome and forms the basis
for an improved relationship in future. And any decision about the
appropriateness of an apology and/or compensation can be easily
negotiated in this atmosphere.
If no understanding can be reached or the offender breaches any
agreement, then the victim has the option of noncooperation with the
perpetrator by discontinuing the relationship until the issue is
resolved. Of course,the conflict might never be resolved in which case
discontinuing the relationship permanently is the obvious and appropriate
option. Staying in an abusive relationship, including one in which a
person endlessly needs forgiveness, is never the right answer.
Tragically, children who are trapped with violent parents in our
world of nuclear families are unlikely to have a viable alternative to
remaining in the abusive relationship. Hopefully, we will move away from
nuclearfamilies as society evolves in response to its current
interrelated crises. See 'The Flame Tree Project to Save Life on Earth.'
Of course, if you are the person who has behaved badly, then it is
you who will need to consider the question of 'why?' And this might be
quite painful although it will always be liberating too.
If you want an end to all forms of abusive relationships, then you
might like to consider joining the worldwide movement to end all violence
by signing the online pledge of 'The People's Charter to Create a Nonviolent World.'
Challenge requires courage and listening; forgiveness only fear.

If free speech is still allowed then..
"accurate feedback about their behavior in order to be able to correct their misperception"
"the courageous way forward is to have your own natural emotional response to this behavior whether it is sadness, anger, fear or calm acceptance."
I have some "accurate feedback" for all the Roundup Staff and owners... "F*ck the Roundup" its a POS rag!

Rickey opened the first fulltime spring training facility. He also pioneered the use of batting cages and pitching machines. Many believe he was the first general manager to insist players wear batting helmets. But Rickey's biggest contribution to the game came when he was general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. In 1947, he brought Jackie Robinson to the team. Robinson was the first African American player in the major leagues in more than 60 years. This opened the door for the many great African American players that followed.
His first major innovation was the creation of the minor league farm system to develop young talent. Before Rickey, minor league teams all operated independently. In the 1920s, as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, he began buying minor league teams. He made them all part of the Cardinals organization. He saw the potential of the farm system. It allowed the major league Cardinals to scout and develop players who would Branch Rickey talks to Dodgers players (from left) Gil Hodges, Gene Hermanski, and Jackie Robinson in 1949.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, in whatever capacity. And season's greetings and warm fuzzy feelings to all, without exception!
As I write this, it's about 15 minutes from actually being Christmas, and as soon as it is, I am going to open my prezzies. I can justify this with the fact that my sleeping patterns are so bizarre this week that it's hard for me to tell whether I should consider this day or night, today or tomorrow. (I'm trying to switch from a night shift schedule to a day shift one by rotating forward. With any luck, I'll make it to late Christmas afternoon before succumbing to sleep again.)
I am actually in a surprising amount of holiday spirit this year. I went to a solstice party on Friday, in which we celebrated the season New Mexico style, by eating green chile stew and setting fire to tumbleweeds. Saturday, I hung out with friends, and there were presents and goodies and camaraderie. Today I made myself a holiday meal of a Cornish game hen and indulged in my personal Christmas tradition of watching Blackadder's Christmas Carol (my favorite holiday movie ever). There may even be more socializing on Christmas Day, although the whole going to sleep in the afternoon thing makes that a bit problematical.
I'm even wearing a sweatshirt with reindeer and a Christmas tree on it. That's how non-humbuggy I'm being! Ho, ho, ho!

Fa La La And All That

What would the first half of 1943 have looked like had the Republicans in loyal opposition to a wartime Democratic president behaved in a manner similar to the current crop of Congress Critters?
Equally worth exploring, what would our media have done with the events of Jan-Jun 1943 on the various fronts of WWII.
Counter-factuals can never be proven wrong, or right, that's why they are useless, fun, uninformative, thought-provoking, contradictory, and a way at exploring deeper truths that are difficult to reach any other way.
That's probably a project with someone with a deeper memory and expertise with regards to the actual events of that time period.
But daily posts, using the historical record, and then retelling them as they happen, from the perspective of a war-hating press and a second guessing, micro-managing Congress, would probably hold many lessons for today.
In many ways, the WWII was already over by mid 1943, and just beginning by then as well. There were no more major wins for the Axis after that time period, though many more battles and casualties to come, with hundreds of thousands of American soldiers meeting their deaths in the next two years.
You could argue all the US lives and treasure spent after mid-1943 was largely unecessary as Germany and Japan no longer could be considered capable of projecting a threat directly to American soil by June of 1943. By that time, Germany had ground to a halt on their Eastern Front, the Japanese Navy had been all but destroyed and Guadacanal had been captured and North Africa was well on its way to being a lost cause for the Axis powers.
This is all from the standpoint of purely American interests. Had the US quit then, and left Europeans to pick up the mess. The Final Solution would have been even more complete, Japan would have entrenched themselves and solidified their hold on their initial land grabs, and if the German collapse had continued after an early American withdrawal, then the power vacuum would have spread Soviet Communism across the entire continent. Plus depending who you believe, both Germany and Japan were working on atomic weapons programs, and given the time, and the breathing room an isolationist inspired American withdrawal would afford, might have been successful.
Those would have been dire consequences for the globe, and for America, but at least, no further lives would have been 'wasted' in a "European" or "Pacific" War that when it comes down to it, was mainly about oil (if we had sold oil to Japan and Germany and stayed completely neutral, they likely would have left us alone, we were the Saudi Arabia of the day from their perspective).
Imagine someone like Sen. Clinton, Sen. Obama, Sen. Biden, or god forbid Rep. Kucinich making their bleating noises back then. History would look back at them with mighty scorn.
Other bloggers have done "D-Day" (can't find a working link to it anymore, but here's an announcement regarding that particular project) from the modern perspective to humorous effect, but I think early 1943 would be more instructive.
Of course, Victor David Hanson already took a similar concept, ran with it, and scored a touchdown, but I think a more specific treatment, highlighting what similar actions by our current politicians would have sounded like and looked like to the enemy back then, would be a worthy project now.

AVAILABLE NOW via SquarEast Records
Composer/Multi-Instrumentalist Joshua Kwassman
Confronts Human Weakness on Personal and
Societal Levels with
Sophomore Release, HEARTWORK -
The release of Joshua Kwassman's acclaimed debut album, Songs of the Brother Spirit, heralded the arrival of an exciting and innovative new composer on the modern jazz scene. Now, with his highly anticipated follow-up HEARTWORK (Available May 26 via SquarEast Records), Kwassman takes a monumental leap forward with a sweeping, deeply personal new work that incorporates influences from jazz, classical, and rock music into a breathtaking eight-part composition.
HEARTWORK also marks the evolution of his unusual ensemble, originally assembled to realize the multi-hued Songs of the Brother Spirit, into a full-fledged band named after that debut. Brother Spirit has become a versatile septet uniquely adept at realizing Kwassman's ambitious musical imaginings. A native of Newington, Connecticut who studied at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and New York University, Kwassman has folded a wealth of influences and studies into his stunningly cinematic compositions.
Where its predecessor looked back on the trials of growing up via a harrowing incident from the composer's childhood, HEARTWORK draws its inspiration from an equally personal but more mature source. As Kwassman describes, "HEARTWORK tells a story of human weakness and the internal struggles that we all face. It speaks of the weaknesses that befall us on individual and societal levels; the conflicts we face in our daily lives between our desires and human greed, and the force inside us and around us which reminds us of our impact on our surroundings."
The album's wide-ranging palette thus looks inward as well as outward, from the introspective to the global, to explore the disappointments and struggles of life in modern society. Its concerns range from the day-to-day regrets of falling short of one's own expectations to the calamitous impact of failing to act on the major issues facing the planet itself.
"It works on both a micro and macro level," Kwassman explains. "It deals with things that were going on in my life, when I had to grapple with my own weaknesses, but also relates to the things I see going on around me. The overarching idea has to do with my own desire to be better for myself and for the things that are happening in the world to be better as well."
