Hawaiian Shirt -- By

No Treason - Heisenberg in a Hawaiian Shirt by Billy Beck Journal | Weblog | Metablog | Forum | Archives | Featured Articles | Resources | On Voting Author Index John T. Kennedy Lynette Warren John Sabotta Billy Beck Kipawa Condor Bob Murphy Andy Stedman Aaron Hartter John Lopez Mike Soja Joshua Holmes Patri Friedman Rob Robertson Tim Starr Dick Freely Heisenberg in a Hawaiian Shirt -- By Billy Beck Dec. 6 -- I'm sitting here right now watching the Florida House ofRepresentatives Minority Leader, Lois Frankel (D), making an astonishingfool of herself on network television. Her grief over the announcementof a special session of the Florida Legislature in order to appoint aslate of presidential electors has driven her to distraction. For onething, she says the thing is illegal, and even hinted at litigation toenjoin it. Given the state of the courts these days, she couldprobably get someone to actually hear the case. During herpainful moan, Rep. Frankel asserted it as "naive" that anyone shouldthink the Florida Legislature's leadership was "calling the shots." "The only thing missing from the proclamation today was thepostmark from Austin," she said. She went on about theubiquitous "WillofthePeople" and how outrageous it would be for the"partisan" majority to supplant themselves for the wishes of six millionFloridians. If there is one thing I cannot stand, it's a whineyloser. ("Legal and constitutional scholars far smarter than me have been saying that there is no legal grounds for this!" she let on.)Oh, there's room for it in the case of, say, a ninety-seven-poundweakling getting trounced by a two-hundred-pound bully pounding him justbecause he's little. I could see that sort of thing being worth howlingabout, because the injustice of it is starkly obvious: anyone like thatwho would destroy someone smaller just because he's smaller, isalso a good candidate for a tire-iron on the kneecap just to get hisattention before making things right again. In the matter ofbig-time politics, however, nothing like this is the case. For oneobvious thing: ignorance of the rules is no excuse. Rep. Frankel coulddo herself a favor just by reading the US Constitution. Personally, I'mnot a real big fan of that document, but it's not terribly long orotherwise difficult to understand. Also: I'm not the one who's gone intobusiness under its provisions, which is not the case with Rep. Frankel,even though she's just a whiney Florida state representative. In theinstant case everything she was talking about is subject to theauthority of the US Constitution. "Each State shall appoint, insuch a Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number ofElectors." (Article II, Section 1, paragraph 2) The periodisn't strictly quotation, because the sentence continues beyond thatpunctuation, but it'll stand for the purpose of a great big "HELLO!" toRep. Frankel. So, what exactly is it that drives a person likeher to her appearance this afternoon? Well, she knows an implacablething when she sees it. The Republican majority in Florida is gettingready to have their way with the elector slate, and if they really wantto do that, there is nothing in the world that anyone can do about it.They have all the numbers breaking their way, and poor Rep. Frankel, whowants Al Gore to be president, is going to lose in that case. One wonders if she didn't understand politics when she chose a career.Did she never look forward to a day when her own party would be in themajority and have its way? If she ever did, then whence all thishollering about "partisanship?" What the hell else could sheever expect? If she has some idea that her own appearance on the heelsof the announcement was "non-partisan" or something like it, she shouldbring it on, because I can always use a good laugh. Whether theFlorida Republican leadership of the legislature are"partisans," one thing remains indisputably true: thatassembly is mandated by the US Constitution to appoint a slate ofpresidential electors. They're calling the special session a "safetynet" in case the Certificate of Ascertainment -- already stashed inWashington -- turns out to be not so certifiable as a result of anynumber of legal actions now in progress. They might never stand up andcop to "partisanship" in the deal, right out loud, any more than Rep.Frankel would admit that for motive of her own distress, but they feellike they need to cover the action. Who could blame them? It'svariously said that "the electors were chosen on electionday." This is the "photo-finish" argument; that the only thingremaining is to examine the photos of the finish. That would be thefull-blast manual recounts. The most notable example at the moment isthe Leon County circuit court case which was appealed to the FloridaSupreme Court. The Gore team is still playing for a hand recount of14,000 "under-vote" ballots in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. The "undervote" ballots are the sort that require human peeringthrough to a light source, nonsense aptly called "ballot phrenology" byLynette Warren right here in The Union Square Journal. It was great forillustrating the actual cognitive value of various ardent work carriedon by the various bleary-eyed canvassing boards, which is nil. Now, we could rehearse all the hue & cry over "divining voterintent" and all the rest of it, but I'm not interested. I'll justsensibly assert , here, that anyone who thinks they know who an"undervote" voter voted for, is also just making it up. The simple factis that there is no evidence, in the same way that there is no evidencefor leprechauns. That's that. It's just the way it is. The far more pressing question involves who, exactly, is making up what,exactly, and why they would do it. This is the point whereintegrity requires Full Disclosure. I want to get out of the way, rightaway, that I am a dedicated Clinton Hater. Sooner or later in thesecolumns I will make clear to all the fullest depths of my contempt forThe Lying Bastard and his Ozark Long March. The point is brieflynecessary here, however, for this reason: I am not unreasonable about it. Throughout The Long National Nightmare -- duringwhich I have been far more fully awake than to fall for all the"prosperity" jazz -- I grew to my status ("If only the guykept an "Enemies List" like some presidents we've known!") withclose observation of this administration's record, which was alwaysappraised in terms of principles . All of that leads to fairlyheavy material, all its own. My principles (mainly freedom) are anathemato many, but I'm not here to argue them. (Yet.) What I'm getting at isthe fact that hating Maximum Bill, as well as his whole rotten cast, isan eminently reasonable conclusion at which to arrive by a process ofreason. One more disclosure in order to set a context: Bush isgoing to be a spectacularly rotten president. Not especially evil, Ithink, but spectacularly rotten. Tack that up on your refrigerator: Isaid that. Period. Way, way back in that unholy nightbetween the 7th and 8th of November, Christopher Ruddy writing atNewsmax filed a 4:21am report which stated that "key Democraticprecincts held back turning in their final tallies until the bitterend." Ahead of a few of its unfortunate or improvident competitors, TheNew York Times had stopped its presses sometime near 3:30am in order toavoid another Truman/Dewey style headline goof. Before the morning sunhad raced from sea to shining sea, the Florida vote was legally mandatedfor recount by the hair-thin margin, and forecasts of court challengeswere already hours old. The Florida vote looked like a trainwreck that had finally found its grid-coordinate. The Place To Be. Very shortly after the train wrecked, air was densely fogged withshouts of confusion in numbers that eventually far outstripped thealleged mistaken Buchanan votes. Even before the train wrecked,Gore fund-rouser Terry McAuliffe told reporters, "We got to make surethis election is right." Looking back at that November 7th statement,one wonders whether he knew the wreck was coming, although itwould be fair to note that we're talking about a state in which votefraud is so pervasive that the Miami Herald won a Pulitzer Prize forinvestigating the subject, so I guess it's possible that my eightyear-old niece could have expressed the same worry had she beeninterested. By 4:30am during the overnight on NBC, Newsweek'sJonathan Alter threw down what can only now be regarded as A Plan,looking back on actual events. Nearly frenzied over the nationwidepopular vote margin for Gore, Alter suggested shotgun litigation inevery court with an open door, essentially aimed at keeping the Bushelector slate from being certified for as long as possible. Twobeneficial ricochets might possibly accrue from this angle: 1) Bushmight yield to various unspecified pressures to concede the electionunder the weight of the national popular vote; and 2) it could later beplausibly argued that there could never be an accurate (i.e. - "true")accounting of the Florida vote. It shouldn't require aquantum physicist to understand which way the particles are blowing whena James Carville says that the day will come when we will all understandthat Al Gore won the election in Florida. It's likely the furthestdistance from accident when US Sen. Harry Reid, (D-Nev) come along toremind everyone: "Remember, there's something of a pale over all this:he lost the popular vote by over a quarter-million votes." Now,for the purposes of my own judgment in these matters, a resort tohistory is quite often good enough for me, and here's one thing I know:the name "Daley" anywhere near them is something like acid on fineleather... which isn't to point up a comparison of fine leather toelections, but actually the particular ferocity of the corrosive effect.And that's just for starters, as in: a generation before Carville, ifyou can imagine the devolutionary implications. So, now, we'retreated to some dynamic portrait of yet another working class herolaboring in The Ballot Fields for the future of the past, and here's anoteworthy fact: it's the... Gore people... who pitch that rubbish.Nobody else. I could sit here and nod my head and smile at thesuggestion that there is no Uncertainty Principle at work in thisbusiness, but I'm afraid I won't be very good at it, because theresimply can be no other way of things than that the data will change aslong as they care to look at it, because they're looking at it. Iam not a fool: I know "phrenology" when I see it, even if only as far asI can see the damned lawyers tramping around and the whining losersbaring fangs. Just look at these people, and tell me if the truth is inthem. Go ahead. Pat Caddell is nearly coming ungluedlately, and that looks like a signal matter, to me. "We are headed tohell," he said tonight in looking ahead at partisan divides. The poorguy is making as much righteous noise as he can over the electionstealings of Florida, but he's also got a pretty good grip on which waythe particles are blowing into the future. I've not heard him remarkgreatly on the legal plays. But he might see that sort of thing as swellfor people who dig it, but anyone who thinks that's where the action is,is also the type of person to be excited by a field-goal kicked in thelast six seconds of a 21-7 football game. Yeah: there's a lotof noise in the stands, and even side-bets on miracles (e.g., MartinCounty), but Al's dead. Nobody has to believe that, of course,but they get to hang around and watch to see who's right about it. Andthen, as Carville tells us where his bet lays, "We're gonna have thewrong guy in the presidency because these votes are going to be countedunder the Florida sunshine law." It was Nancy "Amazing" Grace who hippedus, "Those votes will be counted, come hell or high water." Wonder which it'll be. Don't you? Which would be what to the Bushadministration, and would it be "partisan?" Jeez, it wouldalmost call for some kind of price to be paid for winning the election,what Thomas Bray at OpinionJournal.com characterized as "go[ing] allwobbly with gauzy visions of a bipartisan future." How much hell or highwater would that take? The question occurs because of the ways thesepeople raise them... but this isn't the place to start raising otherquestions about burnt drowned bodies. And, see, the thing isthat Maximum Bill can go ahead and ride off to Hollywierd or Oxford ifhe can get away with either one of them... if he can get far enough awayto dodge the splinters if one of his old pillars explodes under him,which is to say: out of reach of "the law." He probably will, and Isaid so years ago. (From 1776 on, nobody ever died so that somethinglike Bill Clinton could be what he has been and then just flit off toparty like a retired Soviet apparatchik as if the blood of the Lubyankacellars had never splashed his trousers.) But the Clintonism is seeped now, and I ain't counting on Dubya to ward it off. [1] Comments Billy Beck Archive

Allison My Dad robertkabbett.net Wednesday! Well, so much for my optimism for the year. I heard you saying yesterday that you had only received about one third of what was needed in the way of donations for the month. I can’t imagine your frustration. You work so hard providing a site where people from the world over may drop in and enjoy a slice of paradise. In a time where we are willing to pay significant amounts to have cable or satellite television in our homes, folks now paying to listen to the likes of Howard Stern on satellite radio and we pay for some type of computer bandwidth to send jokes by e-mail, why not give a few bucks a month to keep something as beautiful as IRH alive? As long as you are here, you’ll have our donations. Take care Rab. Greg and Pat Roberts A new camera is enabling me to show you more realistic views of our Hawai'i. Above, Friday morning's sunrise as seen off the garage roof just outside our studio. More below - all shot Friday 1/20/06. I think this camera is gonna work out ;) Kahala Beach to Koko Head. Triangle Park, Kahala-Kaimuki. Inside Diamond Head Crater. Makapu'u. Waimanalo to Kailua. Monday morning's sunrise at 6:50 a.m. HST. The Monster Sea-Based X-Band Radar Dome you may have read or heard about is at Pearl Harbor. It arrived for a paint job last week. it caused quite a stir as it came into view from around Diamond Head unannounced last Monday. I saw it last Tuesday from atop Aiea Heights and wandered down to get closer and ended up down near the Arizona Memorial Museum. It's home port is Adak, Alaska and it will keep the western skies under surveillance when it goes into operations in the Aleutians soon. From a church parking lot you can see this large dome thing is docked down at Pearl. I got down closer to the X-Band and you can see it is loaded atop the 736-foot semisubmersible ship M/V Blue Marlin. I took this shot from the launch ramp down by the Arizona Memorial Museum. The USS Missouri and the Arizona Memorial from the lawn at the Arizona Museum. The new Ford Island Bridge from the lawn of the Museum.

Carol Schaub writes: I'm so sorry to hear that the station is in need again. Frankly, I don't understand the thinking of some of your listeners. The same people who wouldn't blink at spending $3.50 or more daily on a specialty coffee, can't seem to come up with a piddling donation of $25 a month to support the music that gives them so much pleasure. Even if they listen only twice a week, it comes out to a contribution of a mere $3 and change each time they listen. Now we both know that most people listen much more often than that – so it's even cheaper, especially when you consider all the hours that they listen. In any case, I'd like to contribute double my usual this month, and to thank you once again for all you do so that we, your listeners, may experience a piece, and the peace, of the islands. Happy Holidays to you and your family. I hope that this month your listeners will reciprocate and acknowledge just how important Hawaiian music is in their lives. May the new year bring you health, happiness and peace of mind. Aloha, Carol Listeners Ron & Madeline Speak Out. I read your article this morning about the correspondence between you and " Joel ". And having been a supporter of IRH for years continuously, I feel I have a certain right to respond to the matter in question. , Listeners are being urged to donate in order to keep IRH alive and running without you having to beg and plead each month to help out. That being said, by offering 'free' access in the beginning, until IRH had grown to an overwhelming audience of such proportions that it became evident that help was needed in the way of monthly donations. It thus became an absolute necessity in order for IRH to live on because of its own success. Consequently, listeners such as "Joel" are unfortunately just one of many of hundreds if not thousands, of cheapskates that think it is their god given right to take and not give in return just because something is there for the taking. What they don't understand is, is that it is not there for the taking, but for the enjoyment. The listening enjoyment of having a piece of Hawaii there within arms reach . A piece of Hawaii that a guy by the name of Robert Abbett provides for each and every one of us. For those of us who have been to Hawaii one time or many many times, it is a way to re-connect back to that little piece of heaven on Earth. For those who have never been there and only wish they could be, it is a way for them to be there without having to actually be there bodily but in spirit. In any event, the 'little radio station that could', from a house in Kailua Hawaii, needs all our support. If you don't believe it, turn it off and go put on your FM radio and listen to some BS music and a bunch of nonsense commercials for awhile. Maybe then you'll realize how much having Internet Radio Hawaii means to us all. Ron & Madeline Wilson Valrico, Florida Da Mokes, or more properly the Mokulua islands sit off of Lanikai beach. The island to the left is Moku Nui. To the right is Moku Iki. Both are bird conservation areas. You may land and visit the beach on Moku Nui during the day but you are not supposed to land at all on Moku Iki. Landing on and paddling out from Moku Nui can be very tricky and in fact deadly. Waves from both sides of the island wrap around the front and slap together as you make your approach. As happened on Monday 12-05-05 one can be swamped or turtled coming off the beach. A visiting reservist lost his life when that happened. Moku Nui island off Lanikai. Another shot of the Mokulas off of Lanikai. Ever see Kite Aerial Photography?

Beware of Spam from sunspots.us - Roadrunner Security sent me an email Monday 8/29/05 indicating that someone in Seattle (not our friend Dennis Peterson) is using my domain irh.com as an "Ad" on spam about visitor destinations and to solicit business for their businesses and rental properties listed at sunspots.us. I know who this person is and I have spoken with roadrunner and some other folks about it. Should you ever get an email other than a personal thank you for your donation or an answer to a question, or a listener page update from irh.com or one of my other addresses then you can be sure it is not from here nor from me. We are currently being included as an "advertiser" via a link on the bottom of someone else's spam without my permission or previous knowledge. I do not spam, I have never spammed and if I did I certainly would not offer you relief from spam by suggesting you try Spamfire like I use - see the Spamfire info to the left. This person is a disgruntled wanna-be-partner who approached me several years ago about partnering up but never got it together (Thank God!). He also sends me $20 bills every once in a while and asks if I am still mad about all the wasted time and energy he caused. I always just mail the twenties back. I sent back his most recent $20 a few months ago and asked that he not call, write or even think of doing either ever again and this is apparently how he responds. This person and his employees even listed several other sites in closing their email as if to make it look like we were all buddies of his. "P.S. If you can't go right away, click below to enjoy some Hawaiian tunes www.kealiireichel.com/ www.e-hawaii.com/iz/izbook/izbook_98-09.htm www.makahasons.com/ www.IRH.com (Internet Radio Hawaii)" I am sure that Keali`i, the Makaha Sons and most certainly my dear friend the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole would never wish to have their sites or themselves nor their music associated with this person and his spam and business practices. It is very obvious that he simply does not understand the concept of Aloha and has some sort of major screw loose somewhere. One listener wrote me about his troubles with this fellow and how the folks in Washinton State call him "No-Pay" as he never honors committments and seems to forget to pay his bills. Anyhow, again, IRH.com does not spam nor advertise on other's email - period. I do not engage in spamming, have never spammed and never will. You can be assured of that. Should you ever get such an email please forward it to me and I will make sure the proper authorities are again alerted. Mahalo! Rabbett Runs here daily.

The following Tuesday was very hard for me. Every time I walked through the kitchen ( where Zig lived under the table) or through the big room where she hung out sprawled across the cool tile floor, I missed her terribly. My friend is no where to be seen. I'm crushed. I am so very much alone. Ziggy passed on over the rainbow at around 1 pm HST Monday afternoon at home in her bed under the careful hands and watchful eyes of her vet, an assistant and yours truly. I held her head in my hands and told her how good she was and how much I loved her, over and over. Ziggy was an angel in the body of a female white shepherd who kidnapped all our hearts and quickly became a member of our family. She was 13. Strangely enough, after glancing through her records it appeared that our first visit to the Vet was on Christmas Eve, 1990 and she was listed as being six weeks old. So although I don't remember the date because I wasn't there, she was born right around this part of the month of November. Ziggy was one of the smartest animals I have ever known. She learned tricks and how to use dog doors with ease and loved to play ball! She could catch incredible bounces and when younger would play and chase the darn thing for hours on end. She was obedient to a fault. She would come over and console us when we were down and had an amazing smile that would brighten any gray day. She was a great guard dog but did not just go outside and bark for the sake of barking. She came on command, she came with hand signals, she came to me sometimes with just a thought. Ziggy was a bit annoyed by our recent construction and hated the thumping noises most. She'd often retreat to the quiet of the bathroom in the old house but, she greeted all the carpenters every day with a wag, a sniff and a lick. I'm so glad she got to enjoy the big new room downstairs. I'm sorry she wasn't capable of making it up the 14 steps to the new studio. She would have dug it. I swear, she liked Hawaiian music. I left a radio on all the time in the new bathroom downstairs and I caught her groovin' on more than one occassion. You could tell. It was that special look on her face. Sheer bliss. She really liked Gabby and would react with recognition whenever she heard me rattling on about something or doing a promo. Ziggy went over the rainbow with dignity and class and a full belly of her favorite rawhide treats, a freshly brushed coat of gleaming white fur and a flood of love from a several hour petting and hangin' out session we enjoyed Monday. We also played drop catch with the ball and she never missed, even through pretty heavy cataracts. Dr. Caspar, who she greeted by jumpin' up and wobblin' over to and then licking excitedly, said she also apparently was beginning to suffer liver malfunction as her belly was filled with liquid. That made me feel better about my decision and bad too because maybe I should have done something last week. It was, without a doubt, the hardest decision I have ever made in my life. I agonized over it for the past couple months but finally, Monday with her condition deteriorating rapidly, I decided to call in the Vet. I did this for my dearest and very very best friend who was having real problems with advanced arthritis in her back legs and was hardly able to get around anymore. We exhausted all the heroics - pain pills, pain receptor inhibitors, powder and liquid glucosamines, steroids and prayers. Ziggy resting in the garage early Monday by her Big Water. My Mom and I talked Monday - (she is the dog queen and has a couple grand champions to her credit!) and she mentioned that there is a point where the human tends to go too far to keep the dog around. I didn't want to do that to her and as it turned out what with the liver disfunction and all I guess our timing was bless-ed. We love You Ziggy! We always will. We hope to play with you again one day on the other side of the rainbow.
