Roosevelt appointed Frances Perkins to be secretary of Labor in 1933. Eisenhower appointed Oveta Culp Hobby to be the first secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1953, making her the second woman to hold a Cabinet position. In 1975, Ford appointed Carla Hills to be secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Carter appointed three women to Cabinet positions: Juanita Kreps as secretary of Commerce in 1977; Patricia Harris as secretary of Housing and Urban Development in 1977 and as secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1979 (the department was renamed Health and Human Services in 1980); and Shirley M. Hufstedler as secretary of Education in 1979.
But those aren't *real* women, and the cabinet positions were fake.

I think he meant the first female cabinet member. And he left out her sucking off Strom Thurmond in the senate chamber for some 20 hours in the pre-Viagra era. It caused Strom to quip, "Now that's one hell of a filibuster!"

Britain criticises Israeli tactics
Britain has dramatically broken ranks with George Bush over the Lebanon crisis, publicly criticising Israel's military tactics and urging the Americans to 'understand' the price being paid by ordinary Lebanese civilians.
The remarks, made in Beirut today by the Foreign Office Minister, Kim Howells, were the first public criticism of the US voiced by Britain. The Observer can also reveal that Tony Blair urged restraint in a private telephone convseration with the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, last week.
Sources close to the Prime Minister said that Olmert replied that Israel faced a dire security threat from the Hizbollah militia and was determined to do everything necessary to defeat it.

RE about Israel running out of smart weapons
when you fight any modern war, you soon run of weapons.
I'm suprised the IDF cannot locate Hezbollah's position, the British army has a special radar which can pinpoint where a rocket has been launched from, Israel could also pre-position their troops in helicopters just waiting the Lebanon and could respond as soon as they start firing rockets.
its no good having armour, because its mountaionus countryside and its unpractiable.
the only problem with this polict is helicopters are vulnerable to anti aircraft missels so there would be some risk in it.

I heard somewhere Hezbollah fought Israel to a standstill once before (in Lebanon, I assume). Hezbollah certainly seems to know how to conduct this fight, anyway.
Evacuation may be issue for trailer park
Almost two months after a Federal Emergency Management Agency exercise was aborted over miscommunication between federal and local officials, questions remain over how to evacuate the largest trailer park for hurricane evacuees in East Baton Rouge Parish, La. Yvonne Murphy, chief of operations for the parish's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said her agency still isn't sure how to communicate with FEMA trailer residents or coordinate an evacuation during a hurricane. According to FEMA, East Baton Rouge Parish has 1,884 occupied FEMA trailers, reports The (Baton Rouge) Advocate. Ronnie Simpson, spokesman for FEMA, said the agency is working on a system to get emergency information to all FEMA trailer residents in the area, but they will still need to rely on the media in deciding when and how to evacuate.

Democrats Set to Shake Up Primary Calendar
Democrats are on track to jumble the states in the presidential primary calendar in response to growing criticism that the same predominantly white states hold many of the cards in early voting.
And not even complaints from a former president and a half-dozen White House hopefuls can stop them.

OT: Thousands flee southern Lebanon
Thousands of people are struggling to leave southern Lebanon, as Israel continues air strikes and ground raids.
Civilians in 10 villages were told to leave by Saturday evening, a day after leaflets were dropped warning locals to flee a broad swathe of the south.
But a BBC correspondent in the city of Tyre says many residents are too afraid of continued bombing to flee.
The UN humanitarian chief is en route to Beirut, as the UN seeks to secure safe routes out for fleeing civilians.
The UN's Jan Egeland said half a million people needed assistance - and the number was likely to increase.
Damn, this latest bit about the error of topic being surreptitiously fixed is still another datum for a pet chaotic proto-theory or observation of mine. It's so chaotic and anecdotal that I can't even come up with a title.
Maybe I can call it Beta Shock. I'm referring to a universal trend or slippage in mass production during my lifetime. My half-assed postulate is that at one time, it was generally understood that a maker/producer of goods and services would innovate and develop a product, test and refine the product internally and with limited interaction with consumers, and only then commence a production mode and deliver the finished product to the marketplace.
Of course, this is a purposely simplistic and idealistic description. But I think it's fair to say that during the second trimester of the previous century, that consumers reasonably expected producers to be in large part functional and finished when spending good money for them.
But more and more, all segments of mass production began pushing back the threshold of salability. Microsoft is an egregious example-- they sell minimally-debugged and developed products, then enslave the consumer to a product life of downloading fixes and updates.
Likewise, even the chancred Grey Whore blandly pumps out defective information as a matter of course. But all of this gets fixed up afterwards, so it's all good. It seems to me that nowadays the "beta" version of everything is prematurely ejaculated onto a bemused public, which then becomes responsible for vetting and repairing the flaws.
I think this is cheating. Does anyone see what I'm getting at? -- because this "syndrome" strikes me as so ubiquitous that I really do have trouble expressing my take.
Say, Hecate, that little old house I'm thinking about in Fruitvale (after I convince the IRS that yes, I really did make $775 in charitable contributions last year, big deal) has a rumpus room. The house we had in Calgary had a rumpus room too - a jolly nice one too, where much rumpus took place. It'd be nice to have one again.

WaPo story on the evolution of the Iraq fiasco
Complicating the U.S. effort was the difficulty top officials had in recognizing what was going on in Iraq. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld at first was dismissive of the looting that followed the U.S. arrival, and then for months refused to recognize that an insurgency was breaking out there. A reporter pressed him one day that summer [2003]: Aren't you facing a guerrilla war?
"I guess the reason I don't use the phrase 'guerrilla war' is because there isn't one," Rumsfeld responded.
Er, South Carolina already follows New Hampshire. Don't they watch the West Wing?

WaPo must read
On the morning of Aug. 14, 2003 Capt. William Ponce, an officer in the "Human Intelligence Effects Coordination Cell" at the top U.S. military headquarters in Iraq, sent a memo to subordinate commands asking what interrogation techniques they would like to use.
"The gloves are coming off regarding these detainees," he told them. His e-mail, and the responses it provoked from members of the Army intelligence community across Iraq, are illustrative of the mind-set of the U.S. military during this period.
"Casualties are mounting and we need to start gathering info to help protect our fellow soldiers from any further attacks," Ponce wrote. He told them, "Provide interrogation techniques 'wish list' by 17 AUG 03."
Some of the responses to his solicitation were enthusiastic. With clinical precision, a soldier attached to the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment recommended by e-mail 14 hours later that interrogators use "open-handed facial slaps from a distance of no more than about two feet and back-handed blows to the midsection from a distance of about 18 inches." He also reported that "fear of dogs and snakes appear to work nicely."

Whoops, s/b "expected products".
The House, displaying a foreign affairs solidarity lacking on issues like Iraq, voted overwhelmingly Thursday to support Israel in its confrontation with Hezbollah guerrillas.
The resolution, which was passed on a 410-8 vote, also condemns enemies of the Jewish state.
House Republican leader John Boehner cited Israel's "unique relationship" with the United States as a reason for his colleagues to swiftly go on record supporting Israel in the latest flare-up of violence in the Mideast.

That summer, retired Marine Col. Gary Anderson, an expert in small wars, was sent to Baghdad by the Pentagon to advise on how to better put down the emerging insurgency. He met with Bremer in early July. "Mr. Ambassador, here are some programs that worked in Vietnam," Anderson said.
It was the wrong word to put in front of Bremer. "Vietnam?" Bremer exploded, according to Anderson. "Vietnam! I don't want to talk about Vietnam. This is not Vietnam. This is Iraq!"

One other Ad Nags idiocy:
"Mrs. Dole said that she had raised 25 percent more than the committee raised in the last midterm election. That comparison may be imprecise, several Republicans and Democrats said, because 2004 was also a presidential election year, when Congressional committees tend to take in less money because they are competing with presidential candidates."
So, Dole says she has raised more than was raised at this time last midterm, and Nags cites assertions that you can't really make this comparison, since the last *midterm* was a presidential year.
Something's gotta give here.

It is like when they tell Turkey to keep out of Iraq. Apparently, if you are being attacked on your border, it is only Israel who can invade.

Also from digby, this blast from the past, which reminds us that U.S. foreign policy is always about U.S. domestic policy:
"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

Heck of a job Georgie:
But Washington's greatest gift to the Iranians lies next door in Iraq. By removing Saddam Hussein, the United States endowed the majority Shiites with real power, while simultaneously tearing down the wall that had kept Iran in check.
According to the Jordanian intelligence officer, Iran is reminding America's traditional allies in the region that the United States has a track record of leaving its friends in the lurch -- in Vietnam in the 70's, in Lebanon in the 80's, in Somalia in the 90's.
In his analysis, the implication that this decade may witness a precipitous American withdrawal from Iraq has begun to produce an inclination in the region toward appeasing Iran.

S&WB: City is drowning in leaks
In an unusually bald-faced declaration, New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board members acknowledged Wednesday that the city will not recover from Hurricane Katrina if the agency cannot quickly repair its underground pipes to stave off frequent losses in water pressure. While calling for administrators to better prioritize infrastructure projects, members also lambasted the Federal Emergency Management Agency for so far covering only about 9 percent of the estimated $447 million in damage to water, sewerage and drainage systems. FEMA has pledged to reimburse S&WB for the cost of repairing storm-damaged infrastructure, but the payments have been slow in coming, The Times-Picayune reports. Board officials said the payment delays have stymied repairs and that the tedious application process has unfairly forced S&WB personnel to haggle with federal officials over the necessity and urgency of basic work.

The effort begins Sunday afternoon in the Oval Office, where President Bush is scheduled to meet the Saudi foreign minister, Saud al-Faisal, and the chief of the Saudi national security council, Prince Bandar bin Sultan. Prince Bandar was the Saudi ambassador to Washington until late last year and often speaks of his deep connections to both the Bush family and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Ms. Rice is delaying her departure to the Middle East until after the meeting, which she is also expected to attend, along with Mr. Cheney and Stephen J. Hadley, the national security adviser. The session was requested by the Saudis, American officials said.
The expected outcome of the session is unclear. “We don’t know how patient the Saudis will be with the Israeli military action,’’ said one senior official. “They want to see Hezbollah wiped out, and they’d like to set back the Iranians.”
But in the Arab world, the official added, “they can’t been seen to be doing that too enthusiastically.’’
Not to mention she was a wreck while she headed the Red Cross.

Seven Shia construction workers have been killed and one injured by gunmen in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

At least eight other people were killed in attacks around Iraq, including two US soldiers and three Iraqi policemen.
The violence came as a reconciliation committee, set up by Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, met for the first time.

Quite so. That's why I said my description was (too) simplistic. There are by definition natural competing interests between buyer and seller that are coeval with the origins of commerce. And indeed practices like planned obsolescence, however justified in economic and business theory, strike many consumers as a dirty trick and a sharp practice. (Me, for one.)
Again, I'm just trying to get my head around a persistent conviction that in addition to all of the traditional snares of the marketplace, corporate producers have somehow collectively decided to lower the bar and foist shoddy goods (including news reporting) on the public, which is conditioned like lab rats to accept it (it's a feature, not a bug) or improve/fix it themselves.

Pentagon officials are complaining that US cuts in aid to Africa are hurting the war on terror, according to an article in Sunday's edition of The New York Times.
"The Bush administration and Congress have slashed millions of dollars of military aid to African nations in recent years, moves that Pentagon officials and senior military commanders say have undermined American efforts to combat terrorist threats in Africa and to counter expanding Chinese influence there," writes Mark Mazzetti.

It seems the Israeli goal is to bomb Lebanon into the Stone Age, thereby making it a perfect petri dish for terrorist organizations, like was done to Afghanistan by the Soviets, and then to Iraq by the US.
The Neocons in Israel won't survive if they don't have a perpetual enemy...and the past weeks' actions pretty much ensure that they'll have an unlimited supply of hostiles on their border for at least the next generation.
Who here doesn't believe that Condi is delaying because she's got a pressing engagement with her nail artist?
Me. I don't buy the implication that the delay is related to Rice's being female.
The delay is related to Rice's being as bloodthirsty on behalf of republican gains in the midterm elections as anyone else in the regime.
So being someone's wife is considered an accomplishment? He sure sets the bar low...

She's certainly not in negative territory, but considering Obama is Number 1 with a 72% approval rating, and Joementum is 15th with a 65% rating, I wouldn't call her showing (in the bottom half of the rankings) "popular."
Here in her home state of NC, where I live, I'd say she's viewed as pretty much a nonentity.
