04/09/2004 04:09 PMOkay. Now that I have actually calmed down a bit, and had a nice
steaming mug of tea, I can try and gather my wildly rampaging thoughts
of the evening. Here are some moments and flashes from the evening:
- Being the IRC host. I hope nobody thought I was badly drunk - I
just could not see the keyboard because I was in the corner and there
was only little light.
- Windows (the one running the big screen) crashed at the beginning
of the show. Yay. Hopefully nobody noticed.
- (We should've projected the IRC channel on screen in the cases
where we knew the winner was on the channel - note to self)
- Being the IRC host was fun also because I got to be a proxy for
people - I delivered a kiss to Shine (though I did not
know that she was Shine, bugger), hugged Tira & Mindy, and
would have had my face bashed in by Mikki, IF I had
delivered the requested kiss.
- Getting a chance to talk with the beautiful, smart and talented
Kanerva, the
evening's only double winner. It was a pleasure.
- The man who walked in,
looked at us with some relief on his face and said: "Good. I was
almost certain this was a hoax, you know."
- For once in my life, having an ample amount of drink coupons in
my pocket. Drinks that someone else would pay for.
- Being called "the second best dressed man in the room".
By a lady I did not know beforehand, nonetheless. Of course, the best
dressed man was Mike P, but I'm used to
losing to him. Losing things like my Robin Hood tapes. Grr.
- Being in the corner for the most of the show, and missing a lot
mostly because a tall Greek God blocked my
view. But the IRC party was cool, even though the GPRS was patchy at
times.
- My very own award :)
- Seeing all of the people mingle, talk, get to know each other.
So many were present (I counted 50 at one point, probably missed a
few). It felt good.
- Earl Grey's nice
hat, which I completely neglected to mention during the evening,
so I'll do it here.
- "Yeah, I read that in your blog. It was funny."
- The feeling of fulfilment after all of the plotting and
scheming.

Reflections on 9-11 and the candidate of

Reflections on 9-11 and the candidate of
revenge
09/13/2004 02:55 AMThis weblog used to be devoted largely to political essays about the
criminal modus operandi of the Bush Administration, and to pointing
out under-reported news items, like the Bush Administration's
unilateral and unconstitutional suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus by creating a new and fictitious legal category, enemy
combatant, and detaining U.S. citizens like Jose Padilla. In the 2
years after 9-11, when the media decided that the salvation of the
country required pinning wings on the pig who had stolen the election
and pretending it could fly, I spent a lot of time writing about the
follies and crimes of the Bush Administration. At times I felt like a
lone dog baying at the moon. However, in the last year, I've slowly
written fewer and fewer political essays, and spent less time pointing
at news stories. In part this was because my changed life
circumstances left me less time to write, in part it was because I
decided to spend some of that energy actually trying to effect change
instead of just writing about it, and in part it was because around
the first anniversary of the start of Bush's unilateral War on Iraq,
some parts of the media woke up to Bush's lies and started reporting
again. So, except for incidents like Abu Ghraib, where I got so
outraged at the signals from on high that America now condones
torture, I have pretty much ceased to write at length about political
matters. I assumed that as Bush's lies became more widely known, and
the utter cynicism of his exploitation of the national tragedy of 9-11
for political gain became clearer, his support among the American
people would drop precipitously. I trust the long-term judgement of
the American people -- you can only fool them so long, although when
you have most of the media in your pocket it is a lot easier to keep
them fooled for longer. But I have been wrong about Bush' support, or
at least misjudged how much it would drop. About half the country,
plus or minus 5%, still plans on voting for him on November 2. I have
racked my brains trying to understand the American people's support
for Bush. The 5% up or down can be explained by the media frenzy of
the week about Swift boats or National Guard service or similar
garbage (while the media continues to ignore...

Reflections on leaving Panama
Reflections on leaving Panama
02/10/2004 02:44 AMLooking out the windows of the Boeing 757 taking me away from
Panama it remains hard to believe that the railroad (1850-55) and then
the canal were built. They had no aircraft and therefore could
not perform aerial surveys of a roadless unknown country. They
had no insect repellant in a place swarming with mosquitoes, sand
flies, and other sources of nasty bites (so perhaps it was for the
best that, until the Americans came along, nobody believed that
mosquitoes caused malaria and yellow fever). The development of
this country is a remarkable tribute to the triumph of energy over
natural caution.
Most of that energy came from the American West. The
California gold rush of 1849 provided the impetus for the construction
of the railroad and most of its initial revenue. When the French
effort failed two citizens of Medora, North Dakota played key
roles. The best-known is
that of one-time rancher Theodore
Roosevelt. As president of the United States in 1903 it was
Roosevelt who encouraged Panamanians to secede from Columbia and
subsequently approved taking over the French concession in the
isthmus. Canal historian David McCullough in Br
ave Companions writes about another Medoran in his book Brave
Companions.
Antoine Amedee-Marie-Vincent Manca de Vallombrosa, the Marquis de
Mores, was a French aristocrat married to the daughter of a wealthy
Wall Street banker. Of North Dakota the Marquis wrote "I like
this country for there is room to move about without stepping on the
feet of others." He invested much of his wealth in the North
Dakota badlands, in a local slaughterhouse, and in refrigerated rail
cars to deliver beef to markets in the East, in competition with the
Chicago stockyards. Roosevelt was frequently a guest in the
Marquis's house in Medora until a cruel winter drove them and their
herds out. The Marquis blamed the failure of his enterprise on "the
Jewish beef trust" and, upon returning to France, satisfied the French
public's demand to know what had gone wrong with their sea level canal
with the explanation that the Jews were to blame. The Marquis
successfully stirred many thousands of his countrymen to anti-Jewish
riots regarding the canal and subsequently played an important role in
the Dreyfus Affair. He was less successful outside France.
According to McCullough, the Marquis was "murdered in June 1896 by a
band of Tuareg tribesmen in North Africa", where he had been engaged
in an effort to "united the Muslims under the French flag in an
all-out holy war against the Jews and the English."
