Plame Panel video at Yearly Kos

Probably going to be light blogging until something riveting happens, but I wanted to get this link out there.
C-Span has the video of the Plame Panel at the Yearly Kos convention.
It starts right off with Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake, and she is every bit as captivating and intelligent as you might have imagined.

Not sure how long this link will work, so get it while you can!

"The kind of thing that makes an Environmentalist's heart sing!"

While Greenpeace watches and waits to no particular effect, these guys move in close and try to disable the whaler's ships any way they can, risking their lives over and over.

First read the article at National Geographic Adventure Online.

Then watch the video montage they made of the events in the article.

Then read this recent update on the Japanese whaling fleet!

Here's an excerpt:

The Sea Shepherd's courage and rashness began to dawn on me. Watson was taking this rusting hulk into the most dangerous, remote seas on Earth to wage a kind of war. A place where a man overboard had minutes to live. Half of his troops had no training at all. Before leaving, his only plan for finding the Japanese whaling fleet in the vast Southern Ocean was to run helicopter reconnaissance flights and hope crews supplying the various Antarctic research stations would give him intel. Contact with Greenpeace's two pursuit ships was the best hope, but the organization responded to Watson's repeated pleas for cooperation by keeping its ships' coordinates off its Web site. Watson believed it was a deliberate attempt to foil him and his radical methods.

What Greenpeace wasn't counting on was that some of the rank and file onboard their ships were also frustrated and disgusted by what they were witnessing every day. The killing of a whale by the most modern methods is cruel beyond description. An exploding harpoon, meant to kill quickly, rarely does more than rupture the whale's organs. The animal thrashes and gushes blood and begins to drown in its own hemorrhage. It is winched to the side of the harpoon ship, a probe is jabbed into it, and thousands of volts of electricity are run through the animal in an attempt to kill it faster. The whale screams and cries and thrashes. If it is a mother, its calf swims wildly beside her, doomed to its own motherless death later on. Often the electricity fails to dispatch the whale, so it takes 15 to 20 minutes of this torture before it drowns and dies. No matter what one thinks of whales' high intelligence, the advanced social structures, the obvious emotions, and the still mysterious ability to communicate over long distances, this method of slaughter would not be allowed as standard practice in any slaughterhouse in the world. This is what the Greenpeace crew had been watching day after day and were constrained from stopping. One of the crew had had enough and began to e-mail Watson with sporadic updates of the fleet's position.

This is how Watson knew, within a few thousand square miles, where the fleet might be on Christmas morning.

A few minutes later we saw it. Through the mist the huge bulk of the factory ship. First just a dark shape, then the spillway ramp cut into her stern where they winched up the dead whales, the tall white superstructure of her cranes, and the words Nisshin Maru, Tokyo. Running down the length of her hull, visible when she corkscrewed on a swell, was research, in large block letters.

She was a sitting duck. Almost idling at 6.8 knots, riding it out. They had to have seen us moving up on the radar, but they must've figured we were the Arctic Sunrise, Greenpeace's other boat, a matter of no concern. Nobody had even bothered to look. I couldn't believe it. We were pulling alongside her stern.

Cornelissen, at the helm, looked level at his captain. "Do we want to ram them? Punch a few holes in their ship?"

"No, we'd sustain a lot of damage. I think the best tactic here, Alex, is the prop foulers." Watson said he didn't think the Nisshin could go too much faster in these seas. He wanted to cut across her bow and deploy the prop foulers—long strands of rope, steel cables, and buoys that would slip under her hull and catch and tangle her propeller.

"We could ram her up the spillway if you want. What do you say, Paul?"

"No, we're gonna do this."

He turned to VanDerGulik. "Tell them to get the prop foulers ready on the stern. Tell them to stay down, stay hidden. Don't deploy them until I blow the horn."

I looked at Watson. He seemed to be protecting his crew. No sane person wanted a collision in these seas.

Just then the whalers woke up. I can only imagine how the Farley must have looked materializing out of the fog and mountainous seas: an all-black ship running under a gale-stiffened Jolly Roger. It was as if the Nisshin Maru jumped in surprise. Someone put the hammer down and she began to pull away off our port side.

"OK," Watson said to Cornelissen. "Do it if you can. Up the spillway."

It was too late. VanDerGulik, the first engineer, had the engines tweaked, and the Farley was straining with all she had, 11, 11.6, 12 knots. But the Nisshin was too powerful. She came up to speed and began to flee at 14 knots.

And then her skipper seemed to snap. Captain D. Toyama had been whaling in the Antarctic for decades. He had been harassed for weeks by Greenpeace. Its Zodiacs swarmed his killer boats. His harpooners had shot whales right over their heads. And here, out of the fog, was a ship with a terrifying reputation. He'd had enough. A quarter-mile (half-kilometer) away, I watched in amazement as the Nisshin turned to starboard, angled across our bow, and slowed down. Toyama seemed to be saying, "OK, you wanna mess with me? Bring it on."

This is Glenn Reynolds, aka "The Professor", and the man behind Instapundit.

Matthew Yglesias points to an example of Glenn's superior thinking power from back in those heady "post-war" days of April 2003:

Yeah, there has been a lot of pro-war gloating. And I guess that Dawn Olsen’s cautionary advice about gloating is appropriate. So maybe we shouldn’t rub in just how wrong, and morally corrupt the antiwar case was. Maybe we should rise above the temptation to point out that claims of a “quagmire” were wrong — again! — how efforts at moral equivalence were obscenely wrong — again! — how the antiwar folks are still, far too often, trying to move the goalposts rather than admit their error — again — and how an awful lot of the very same people who spoke lugubriously about “civilian casualties” now seem almost disappointed that there weren’t more — again — and how many people who spoke darkly about the Arab Street and citizens rising up against American “liberators” were proven wrong — again — as the liberators were seen as just that by the people they were liberating. And I suppose we shouldn’t stress so much that the antiwar folks were really just defending the interests of French oil companies and Russian arms-deal creditors. It’s probably a bad idea to keep rubbing that point in over and over again.

How wrong we were, eh? I'm ashamed. Aren't you ashamed?

State House Assistant Majority Leader David McCluskey, D-West Hartford, got so whipped up about U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman’s strong support for the war that he made a comment he quickly regretted.

“In spite of all the many good things Senator Lieberman has done, this (Iraq war) is the overriding moral issue, and if he doesn’t change his position, I cannot be with him in good conscience,” McCluskey said during a news conference to promote Sunday’s rally.

“He needs to come to Jesus on this one,” McCluskey said. A short time later, McCluskey apologized for making a comment that might offend Lieberman, a devout Orthodox Jew.

He swung his gun into the sun,
and peppered a geezer who went into a seizure.
They all stayed up late to get the story straight,
about who drank what and when.
But it's all for naught, 'cause he's gonna get caught,
and maybe do five to ten.

Bush = Boob

2006-02-20T22:27:00.000-08:00

Digby is one of the more thoughtful, articulate, and well-respected liberal bloggers.
This recent post sums up our current President quite nicely, I'd say.

I was just watching Bush give a speech and he said "it makes sense for the government to incent people."I've never really subscribed to the great man theory, but I have to say that in my experience organizations do take their cues from the person at the top. When you have a president who says things this ridiculous every single day, for more than five years, I think it's safe to say that he is a boob. And his government is a perfect reflection of him: incompetent, arrogant, short-sighted, impulsive, secretive. A failure. That is the story of Bush's life. let no one ever say again that it doesn't matter who the president is because he'll have great people around him. Bush's government is as bad as anyone could have predicted when we saw him flub that answer about foreigh leaders back in 1999 --- he was clearly unprepared and unqualified. And he's proven it.

My Act Blue Candidates

2006-02-20T21:22:00.002-08:00

Okay, getting serious. First order of business is getting behind liberal candidates. My emphasis will be on races where I feel our dollars will have the most impact.

Ciro Rodriguez (Texas-28) is fighting to regain his seat in the House. He lost to democrat Henry Cueller who has turned out to be what we call a "DINO" (Democrat in name only). Cueller is a total Bush lapdog, even going so far as to sit with the Republicans at the State of the Union address.
Rodriguez is rapidly catching up with Cueller in fundraising, and Cueller is getting worried. This primary is coming up soon!

Ned Lamont has decided to try and boot DINO Joe Lieberman (CT) from his Senate seat. Joe is very close to the GOP, and has a lot of money, but he's despicable. As they say, "Holy Joe has got to go!" Lamont has money of his own, but he's going to need help. And we need to show him that we want him to go for it.

Stu Blue California up and running

This blog will be dedicated mainly to politics, with an emphasis on fighting the Bush administration and anyone who supports him.
I also hope to draw attention to Congresspeople of all parties, both those who need to be replaced and those who need help getting elected. Later on, I will talk specifically about Congresspeople in California....who's good and who's not.

In addition to this primary objective, I will post links to other blogs/websites that have items of interest, and I'll occasionally emulate one of my favortie blogs, Dependable Renegade, by posting funny photos with snarky captions...............like this one..:-)

I think we got a bad connection, Dick.
I can hardly hear ya!
So how'd the quail huntin' go?
