Suddenly,
I'm awash in e-mails asking for "my daddy's founding father's speech."
There's no time to go back and check everything, but from the
amount of letters,
I gather somehow I said BartCop's daddy wrote a "founding
father's" essay.
This is not the case.
My father was writer, I've mentioned the where and when before,
but never did I claim he wrote about the birth of a nation.
He wasn't that kind of writer...

GAS PRICES, OPEC, AND THE BUSHES... HMMM
This is the second bidness mag to come up with "Dubya Did It"
scenario for
higher oil prices. (The first being Barron's; they ran an Alan
Abelson piece
entitled 'Petro Plot' a few months ago.)
Here's an election-year conspiracy theory to chew on
by CIRO SCOTTI
Quite a nice summer so far, no? Decent weather, not too much heat
and
humidity (at least on the East Coast). Good time to stoke up
the barbie, throw
back a few cold ones, and devour a platter or two of singed animal
carcass.
Maybe a couple of cobs of corn from the roadside stand and a
big gob of slaw.
Good baseball on the tube, too. And how about those the Williams
sisters at Wimbledon?
So why the long face? Oh, that. Yeah, just sticking the gas nozzle
into an SUV
these days tends to put a damper on any summer trip, even in
this sizzling,
near-full-employment economy. A $50 tab at the end of the weekend
on your almost
maxed-out MasterCard can turn any goodtime Charlie or Charlene
into a grouch.
Well, you could blame it on those folks in charge in Washington
who allowed
gasoline prices to get out of control before they began to take
any action.
That would be Bill Clinton and his sidekick, Al Gore. The same
Al Gore who
wants to run the country from the Oval Office for the next four
years. Sort of
makes you wonder, doesn't it?
FAMILY TIES. But keep wondering for a moment. What's most curious
about this
minor gasoline crisis? The timing, right? What pol in his right
mind would manufacture
a spike in gas prices during the summer driving season, with
the party-hearty expansion
still in its infancy and the budget-surplus projection now bumping
$4.2 trillion?
So here's a conspiracy theory for you:
People in high places have created a sudden spike in gasoline
prices that puts
spend-happy consumers in a sour mood.
And who benefits the most if a nation of angry summer drivers
heads into the fall elections?
Would it be George W. Bush?
Oh, sure, you could argue that the Bush family's ties to the oil
industry run
so deep that W. could be hurt as much as helped by raging prices
at the pump.
But Bush is already delivering the second part of this one-two
petrol punch by
positioning himself as the right person to jawbone down $2-a-gallon
gas.
"I would work with our friends in OPEC to open up the spigot,
to increase the supply," he said on June 27.
"Use the capital that my Administration would earn, with the Kuwaitis
or Saudis,
and convince them to open up the spigot."
A conspiracy theorist could make the case that the oil industry
is where W.'s father
made millions, and the Texas governor has certainly done his
part to keep prices inflated.
A conspiracy theorist could further argue that OPEC would like
a friendly Bush face
in the White House. That might be why, despite recent moves to
raise oil-production quotas,
overall the cartel been slow to react to the pleading of the
worried Clinton/Gore Administration.
The Bushes are famous for always remembering to write thank-you notes.
This time, a conspiracy theorist could argue, the high price of
gasoline is one
giant thank-you note back from Big Oil and the Arab states whose
bacon old
George pulled out of the fire 10 years ago during the Gulf War.
Yes, it's a conspiracy theory.
But while you're chewing on it, throw a couple more hot dogs
on the grill.
Is George Magazine pro-GOP?
I just read their newest issue where they referred to Uncle OJ
Watts as
"the highest-ranking black person in the GOP."
While that's no-doubt technically true, wouldn't it be
more accurate to
state the truth, and remind readers he's the ONLY black
person in the GOP?
Smirk,
arguing for his health care proposals on This Whore with Sam &
Cokie,
came up with a great idea to reduce the costs of medicine for
the elderly.
He said, "the power of group purchasing" would reduce the cost of drugs.
But,
What ever happened to "rugged individualism?"
Suddenly, we're saved by "the power group purchasing?"
Who wrote this speech, Hillary Clinton?
Group purchasing?
...isn't that what they have in Canada?
...isn't that what the GOP calls "socialized medicine" in off-election
years?
...isn't that what the GOP calls Stalinist/Leninist Marxism in
election years?
The group bands together to reduce the burden on the individual?
Isn't that the opposite of capitalism?
Is Smirk trying to "take over" 1/7 of the economy?
With Stalinist/Leninist/Castro economics?
Why is Smirk suddenly a Maoist?
Did Some Young Moon make a deal with the Chi-Coms?
...and what was Smirk's daddy's cut?

McCain Loses Bet
The K-Drag Sunday Edition says probable presidential contender
John McCain
will join Uncle OJ Watts (R-Tom) in, of all things, a bus tour.
It won't be called The Straight Talk Express, like McCain's earlier
bus tour.
This one is billed as Bus con Negro el Piloto, or "Bus
with Dark Driver."
Details, including who approved the bus's name, remained sketchy,
and no specific dates or cities have been announced.
Also, there was no word on how the tour would be financed.
As far as approaches to the press, the two couln't be more far
apart.
McCain spent hours on his bus answering reporter's questions
during
the first phase of his grab for the presidency.
Watts, seen as a traitor to his family and his people by most
Americans,
didn't even bother telling Oklahoma reporters about the upcoming
trip

O'Reilly and the Big, Big Lie
Bill O'Reilly, Truth's Public Enemy #2 at the Fox Whore network,

Did that really happen?
Rosie actually said, "All guns owners in jail?"
I don't believe that.
As stupid as Rosie O'Donnell is, she didn't say that, did she?
If she really said that, I might have to join the NRA just to
make a point.
If that idiot Rosie wants Ol' BartCop in jail because I have
guns,
maybe it's time we all joined the NRA.

Back from vacation with a fresh batch of hate.
Celebrity Mail
As you know, nothing galls me more than the anti-family smut that
Hollywood
churns out these days. Do you remember a few years back when
Courtney Love
was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in that trashy
movie
The People vs. Larry Flynt?
I was dumbfounded. She "acted" like a drunk--which she was; she
"acted"
like a drug addict--which she was; and she "acted" like a slut--which
she is.
So why, I asked, is that acting?
Ronald Reagan, however, played roles in which he "acted" honest--which
he wasn't;
he "acted" smart--which he wasn't, and he "acted" like a war
hero--when in reality
he did everything in his power to avoid real service.
Now THAT'S acting.
Courtney Love was just being herself, and she got to go to the
Oscars,
while Ronald Reagan did some of the greatest acting in movie
history by
convincingly playing honest and good men, and all he got was
a few free
nights with that Davis broad who used to service the sound effects
crew.
Shame on you, Hollywood.
Shame on you.

The Waco jurors reached their decision after
2½ hours of
deliberations on the same day they heard
final arguments from
both sides about the botched raid and the
fiery conclusion.
For years, the vulgar Pigboy has been screaming that Billy Dale,
(the White House travel office employee who offered
to plead guilty
to theft since $40,000 was found in his personal
bank account)
was "obviously innocent because the jury came back in just 3
hours."
Nevermind that Dale stole the money and offered to plead guilty.
Rush said he HAD to be innocent since the jury came back so quickly.
Will that same Pigboy "logic" cover the Waco verdict?
Not on your life.
Two + two = four if it's a Democrat,
but two + two = five if you're a Clinton-hater.
He's always been that way.
You see, Rush doesn't play fair.
He doesn't have to, because he screens every call and
he tells his lies
while safely hiding behind his little urine-colored microphone.
Notable fact: OJ's jury also only took three hours.
KEATING'S DOLLARS AND SICK SENSE
Brain Smasher: Fulfilling your desire to be licked up and down with laughter!
Frank Keating is the governor of Oklahoma where the state can put people
to
death, but tattoos are illegal. Every month Frank goes off rooster
cocked and
says something wild and crazy or a scandal in his administration breaks
out.
It's like he has a Pez dispenser for these things!
The latest scandal to hit his administration is the finding of "Ghost
employees"
who are apparently on the payroll of the state, but do little or no
work.
Of course first thing Frank does is blame the "godless" snake-handling
legislature,
whom are mostly Democrats. Blame and spin, Spin and blame, you know
the drill.
Some of these ghost employees did exist. Many were labeled and fired;
however, some that were accused, came up with time slips, travel records,
affidavits from supervisors saying the employee did show and work.
The smell of political blood was in the air!
Never mind that ghost employees hired by republican legislators were
not fired.
Why quibble with people who don't have five grand for the Keating honeypot?
It's ironic that Big Frank should be so interested in ghost employees.
Frankie was once a ghost employee himself!
If I'm lyin', I'm dyin.'
Check out articles in the "Knuckledrag World" of June 10, 17, and an
August 9th, 1998
editorial, stating that Keating prior to his 1994 election, solicited
several law firms in
Knuckledrag for a "ghost" position and actually found one in the law
firm of Richard's,
Dewey, Cheatum & Howe! He apparently did no legal work! No billable
records
could be found at the time that Keating did work for ANY client, yet
the law firm
paid Keating $100,000.00 while he ran for governor!
A good gig if you can get it.
One of the partners left the law firm and when he went to get his cut
of the partnership,
was aghast to find that part of Keating's payment had been charged
to him. So the lie-yers
sued each other, and in August 1998 Judge Tom Thornbrugh held that
Keating did NO work
and the departing partner was not liable for the expense.
Want more?
Got ethics?
Not only was Keating's ghost status unethical, it was in violation of
several state and
federal laws. It exceeded the Oklahoma limit of $5000 allowable by
law.
Guess what?
After Frank gets elected, he appoints Richard's son to the high paying
position of
Knuckledrag district attorney. By the way, this is a violation of state
laws and
the famous federal RICO laws. Can you say vice-pezidint?
In order to get all the facts, I sent out invitations to all the so-called
ghost workers to
come to bartcop.com World Headquarters for drinks,
dinner, and secret interviews.
(On Bart's tab of course and did I pack them in.)
A major ruckus ensued trying to keep order among all the irate workers.
BartCop flies out of his office and does his best "Perry White, Editor
of the Daily Planet"
imitation with the hair, cigar, and the "Peacemaker" pointed right
in my face.
"Smasher, where the hell are all these workers that are suppose to
be here?
Accounting says you said I okayed drinks and dinner for 50 people!
You know damn well I never signed no chit," says the livid Perry
White BartCop.
I give him my best Pulitzer Prize make up a story smile and sweetly
say, (In
Southern accent), "Why Bart, I knew you would sign for dinner, besides
the
people are here in the office, in the hall and filling the reception
hot tub."
I wave my arms out knowingly and expansively!
The "Peacemaker" inches closer to my forehead. "Is that a naked woman
you
have carved on the barrel of the gun," I say cautiously?
"Don't F*** with me Smasher. You know I have bad conventionitis.
Now, for the last time, where are all the workers?" says Perry
the Menace.
Then it dawns on me. Brain Smasher says this in Sotto Voce:
"I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!"
How is Houston's air today?
According to the USA Today, page 16A, the air is unhealthy!
Please, Smirk, if we elect you, can you make all of America look this
way?

Paul Begala Shoots the Bull
Is the Reformer With Results actually just a Phony with Photo-Ops?
The Dallas Morning Whore today reports that

children in Texas who were eligible for
free or reduced meals did not receive
them last summer. In all, the News says,
more than a million poor kids who
qualified for federally funded summer nutrition
programs went unserved.
Of course, Bush is the man who said there was no hunger in Texas.
He's also the man who poses for photo ops
with minority children every day.
But apparently as a Governor he has allowed
a million of those children to go hungry.

Guest Editorial
I'm hearing bad things.
The word is out that the second that ex-President Ronald "Bitburg" Reagan
is
wheeled off this mortal coil, the GOP will start agitating for a "Reagan
dime".
Yeah, they're going to put his vacuous old face on the U.S. dime.
It's an odd reward for Big Money to give its most beloved servant.
After all, the rich aren't going to ever USE those dimes -- they'd
no sooner
touch one than they'd touch an African-American (with the exception
of George
W. Bush, who can't seem to keep his hands off of minority children
when a
camera's around). Perhaps there's a certain sadistic thrill to making
the
poor beg for images of the man who so thoroughly screwed them?
Now, it's going to be bad enough when Reagan finally croaks. There's
going
to be an orgy of over-the-top mournsterbation like you wouldn't believe.
Rupert Murdoch and Richard Scaife will order their mighty media machines
(which now comprise something like what, 98.9 percent of all American
media?)
to go into a never-before-seen frenzy of tributes to the "Greatest
American Ever".
Thought it was bad when they renamed Washington National airport? By
the time the
media's through with this one, the White House will be the Ronald Wilson
Reagan
Immortal Greatness Gipper Memorial House!
But I digress.
The dime...the soon-to-be Reagan memorial ten-cent-piece.
Remember whose face is on the dime now?
Surprise!
It's someone that the GOP would love to push out of public memory:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Here's a quick comparison of the dime-that-was and the dime-to-be:
FDR: Sold supplies to Britain in early days of World War II to
safeguard democracy abroad
RR: Sold arms to Iranian terrorists and made secret
deals
in early days
of 1980 Presidential campaign to subvert democracy at home
FDR: Creator of the New Deal, giving millions of poor and disadvantaged
Americans hope
for a better future
RR: Spokesman for a Raw Deal, and took it all back
FDR: Maintained fiscal responsibility while providing for the
elderly
RR: Remained elderly while irresponsibly providing
Americans the largest
fiscal deficit
in the world
FDR: Won World War II, encouraging Americans to join together
to fight
the greatest
battle ever known
RR: Won the war against the poor by encouraging the largest
income gap
between rich
and poor ever known
FDR: Fought bravely for his principles, even though crippled
by polio
RR: Shilled like a two-dollar whore for Big Money,
completely uncrippled
by any hint
of principles
I could go on, but why bother?
It's clear that the Ronald Wilson Reagan emorial dime is a perfect
metaphor for the
modern GOP: A worthless disk of base metal, covered by a flimsy layer
of cheap
shiny stuff, stamped with a picture of a head that turned out to have
been empty all along.

It would be nice if there was a right-leaning web site that was hate-free.
How about it, anyone?
Are there any?
Part of me wants the government to be found guilty on this Waco trial.
The way I understand it, the FBI lied to Reno about the gas.
They lied to her about other stuff, too.
I'm hardly a Reno fan, but if they intentionally gave her bad
info so she'd
give the go-ahead for something that wasn't right, they should
pay.
...and how classy of Reno to not be whining about being lied to by the FBI.
I mean, no doubt Vern set that fire, but whoever told Reno that
gas
was completely harmless should be forced to explain his motives.
And why wasn't Vern grabbed when he was in town?
Remember, Reno came in AFTER Vern shot those cops,
so that bungle can't be hers or Clinton's.
Check this out.
Fifty eight percent of white people think things are equal now.
If blacks have the same opportunity to get ahead as whites,
why does the GOP refuse to vote for one?

Ridge might provide more material than Keating, so I'm happy
either way.

they rebroadcast yesterday's
show in Baltimore.
Whora was harping on why it's OK for the
Congress to open with a prayer,
but not Texas high school football, and
recommending that school prayer
be "disguised" as a reading from the Congressional
Record.
Let's shoot this one down one step at a time.
First of all, the Congressional chaplaincies
ARE a blatant violation of the
Establishment of Religion clause. Until
Congress hires a non-Christian chaplain
or sacrifices a chicken, let's not pretend
otherwise. Unfortunately, the separation
of powers makes it difficult for the Supreme
Court to say so.
Ignoring that for the moment, let's talk
about the difference between
high school students and Congressmen. It's
called power. Congressmen
are mature adults (well, most of 'em),
not impressionable children.
Congressmen hire/fire the Chaplain. Children
don't hire the principal.
The House Chaplain can't punish a Congressman
for misbehaving during a
prayer, or give him an "F". Can't confiscate
his beeper or search his
locker, either. And most important, the
other congressmen don't beat up
Barney Frank after class for being a sissy
Jewboy, even if the Chaplain
says he is.
As usual, Whora should be ashamed of herself.
She's not really a doctor, and apparently,
not really a Jew either.
She didn't become one until after she'd
finished school.
I'd love to hear her kvetch AFTER her precious
Deryyyychke's Christian classmates
beat the shit out of him "because he don't
love Jesus".

Subject: Jimmy Page on Conan
Well, where's the commentary on Jimmy Page's
performance the other night?
I didn't see it, but curious to hear the
review!
Eddy
Well, he did real good.
Conan was about to wet his pants the whole night.
"Every night I say, 'We have a great
show for you,' and that's a lie half the time.
Well, it may actually be a lie 80 percent
of the time, but tonight, it's true.
We've done almost 1300 shows, and I
don't think we've ever had a musical guest
as big as we have tonight. Jimmy
Page and the Black Crowes!"
After Tom Arnold and Chris Meloni (from Law & Order - SUV)
they came out
and played "Your Time is Gonna Come," from the first Zeppelin
album in 1968.
The keyboard player started the song using his Hammond B-3 with
the Leslie.
It sounded so perfect, it was spooky.
In all the years Zeppelin played live, they never played that
song, so it was a first
for even the hardcore fans. The Crowes drummer is no John Bonham,
but he went
out of his way to play the same drum parts the same way as the
original recording.
They invented a new bridge, if that's what it's called, to give
the third guitar player
something to do besides chords. Page had a nice, but not overly
dramatic solo.
When Jimmy Page is playing that Les Paul, he's a Wallenda, trust
me.
Chris sang well, it was an A+ effort and it came out great.
After the song and commercial, Conan had the band for a fawning
gush.
Poor Jimmy gets this "Omigod I can't believe you're here," everywhere
he goes,
and after 30 years that would get old for anybody, right?
Conan asked page about the wild touring stories.
If Jimmy ever writes a book, it'll be NC-17 at least.
Chris was jealous, he said, because Zeppelin had the endless
cocaine-women
parties before AIDS was a factor.
Have you ever heard the one about the Mud Shark in Seattle?
The story goes...
I better not.
May be too intense for some readers.
Zappa did a song about the incident, and Carmine Appice drummer
for
Vanilla Fudge, claims his wife filmed the entire episode - Koresh!
Chris asked Conan whatever happened to the "Masturbating Bear."
I didn't know what that meant, but after the last commercial,
just before the credits
started, a man in a bear suit and a diaper came out and
confronted Chris and began
doing something with his bear organ with his back to the
crowd and the cameras.
Luckily, the bear didn't approach Page.
His bodyguards are known for their efficiency.
"Local Masturbating Bear Hospitalized" is a headline nobody wants
to see.
I was hoping for a "Time of Dying" (have you ever heard better
slide in your life?)
or "Achilles," the two hardest-rocking songs ever, but nooooooooo.
They may play Letterman or Leno before long - maybe then.

You liberals are demented

What's wrong with being all that?
You'll get no problem from me.
God fearing?
I wish more people were.
Hard-working?
Who could argue with that?
who thinks the government takes too much

Hey, I do, too!
What makes you think liberals like taxes?
Because Rush said so?
...to support its' bleeding heart habit
?
Ah-Ha!
We might disagree about that one.
I have no desire to pay for a "bleeding
heart," but we want nice roads,
we want a great military, we want the sick
& the old taken care of,
we want enough cops and judges and prisons,
we want better teachers
and I realize those things cost money.
If you know of a way to cut government spending
more than Clinton/Gore have,
I, and I'm sure others would all love to
see the plan.
Trouble is, the GOP likes their surgery
done with a chainsaw.
They want to dismantle the Dept of Education
and the Internal Revenue Service.
Remember Reagan pushing Ketchup as a vegetable
to save on kid's lunches?
And let's not even talk about GOP cuts
in Medicare and Social Security.
And before you give me Rush's lie that
'They're
not cuts,"
let me quote the "Great Communicator,"
Ronald Reagan:
So, which "bleeding heart" programs would you cut?
Veteran's benefits?
CIA?
Salaries of the House and Senate members?
NASA?
Centers for Disease Control?
FBI?

Bart,
Let me preface this by saying I think McGinn should die a slowand
painful death for the hideous crimes he committed.
Now for the point: Maybe I'm just being too accusatory of Shrubya,but
why did
he finally conduct a DNA test when it was a WHITE guy that wasup
for execution,
but he shrugged his shoulders when a BLACK guy was scheduledto
die?
"We gotta be SURE the White guy didn't commit the crime,
but Niggers are only 12% of the population anyway, sowho

Rather interesting, if you ask me. :)
Guest Editorial
by Anon E. Mouse
At the end of his first hour of distortions,the
right-wing gasbag railed about the
"40-year struggle" that Democrats havejoined
in with blacks in seeking more equality.
Limabaugh was perplexed--how could any constituencybe
so gullible to still be in a
struggle after 40 years? After all, heinsisted,
if you haven't accomplished your goals
after 40 years, isn't it time to quit thestruggle,
or at the very least turn your backs on
the political party that has failed todeliver
you from your struggle?
While millions of ditto-monkeys were clappingtheir
paws over Rush's
infallible logic, I was making a mentalroster
of some key GOP issues and
remembering how long their "struggles"have
been waged.
Let's look at how long some Republican struggleshave
been going on:, and
how they compare to Rush's "40-year-struggles-are-for-naive-rubes"observation:
Prayer in schools: 37 years (thatmeans
they SWEAR TO GOD that they will
shut the fuck up forever about this issuein
three years)
Abortion: 34 years (just six to gountil
the GOP completely closes the books on this issue)
School vouchers: I remember this issuebeing
big in Michigan in 1970, which would give
them 10 more to go. Does anyone know ifthis
issue is older than that?
Cuba: Uh-oh; time's up! GOP has been"struggling"
with Cuba for 40 years.
Danny Burton and Jesse Helms will haveto
get a new hobby.
Family, Morality, Values: Nixon broughtup
the struggle for these things in '68,
which means Rush's heroes have to shutup
and abandon these themes in 8 years,
but I vaguely remember Goldwater talkingabout
the Aquarian Conspiracy in '64,
which means 2004 would be the last electionin
which the GOP will raise these issues.
Tax cuts for the rich: They're wayover
the limit on this one; they reached the 40-year
threshold in '76 (if not before). I wonderif
Rush will have a little diatribe tomorrow about
stupid white country club Republicans whostill
think the GOP will help their "struggle"
even though the struggle is still goingon
64 years later.
(They must be even more gullible than theNegroes.)
Law and order: Nixon in 68--just8
years until Republicans zip their lips
and throw away the key about this struggle.
Rush's "40-year-struggle" speech did a wonderfuljob
of amusing the monkeys,
but I don't think its premise stands upvery
well to any serious scrutiny.
Editor's Note:
If we're talking 40-year struggles, let's not forget what Goddid
to Moses.
After leading the Jews thru the desert for 40 years. Moses makesone
eenie-meenie,
teenie-tiny little mistake, and God punishes him like, well,
an Old Testament God.
Do you remember Moses's big crime?
God told him, "When you want to reach be, use your signal watch."
No, wait,
That was Superman and Jimmy Olsen with the signal watch.
God told Moses, "When you want to reach me, beat on a rock withthy staff."
So, Moses did that - and nothing happened. So, figuringGod
was an older man with
possible hearing problems, Moses thought he'd just re-boot, sohe
beat on the rock
a second time, which didn't sit so well with Yahwee from VengefulCity.
This angered God so much, he considered turning Moses into a table
condiment, but,
been-there-done-that. Plus, He thought it'd be a"better
lesson" to take that 40-year
carrot-on-a-stick called "The Promised Land" Moses was looking
forward to
and deny him that to teach the 650-year old a lesson he
wouldn't soon forget.
As Mel Brooks could've said, "It's good to be the God."
Paul Begala Shoots the Bull
George W. Bush is the poster-boy for the inheritance tax. If hewere
named
George Walker, and his family had had no power or money, doesanyone
believe he'd be qualified to teach drivers' ed -- much less run
for President?
And yet this product of the self-serving, self-promoting, self-perpetuating
moneyed aristocracy wants to eliminate the tax that he will oneday
(presumably) pay on the millions he stands to inherit.
Nothing could more clearly define the parties: Democrats honor,
revere and
reward work. That's why we want to raise the minimum wage for
people
who work hard. Republicans worship wealth. That's why they want
a
$750 billion giveaway to the ne'er-do-well children of
the idle rich.

FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL, TEXANS
The American Jewish Congress scolded
Smirk for declaring "Jesus Day" in Texas.
The AJC, which works to maintain theseparation
of church and state, said:
"The principal problem . . . is notthat
it acknowledges the important civic contributions
of a particular faith, but that it assumes
that the profound regard in which the teachings
and person of Jesus Christ are heldby
the Christian community are the norm for all
residents of the state of Texas."The
Bush proclamation was issued in conjunction
with June 10 "March for Jesus," an annual
event.
HAW HAW........I guess DUMBYA doesn't think
Jews, Budhists, Agnostics,
Athiests or Heathens in general matterin
America.
Smirk pimps out Jaysuz, yet again, for a
vote. Remember when he announced
Jesus as his most favorite philosopher
weeks before killing Karla Faye Tucker
out of the Lord's Love?
Somebody in this story is gonna burn in hell........and it won't be Karla Faye.
Here's a big, fat lie fromPaul
Harvey:
Why would the horse-molester make thisshit
up?
The answer is in bold in the finalsentence.
Here is a true story by Paul Harvey.
Pass it to anyone who you think would find
it interesting and inspiring.
You will be surprised who this young manturns
out to be.
(Do not look at the bottom of this letteruntil
you have read it fully)
Years ago a man took his family from NewYork
to Australia to work there.
Part of this man's family was a handsome
young son who had aspirations of joining
the circus as a trapeze artist or an actor.This
young fellow, biding his time until a
circus job or even one as a stagehand came
along, worked at the local shipyards
which bordered on the worse section of
town. Walking home from work one
evening this young man was attacked byfive
thugs who wanted to rob him.
Instead of just giving up his money the
young fellow resisted.
However they bested him easily and proceeded
to beat him to a pulp.
They mashed his face with their boots,and
kicked and beat his body brutally
with clubs, leaving him for dead. Whenthe
police happened to find him lying
in the road they assumed he was dead and
called for the Morgue Wagon.
On the way to the morgue a policeman heard
him gasp for air, and they
immediately took him to the emergency unitat
the hospital. When he was
placed on a gurney a nurse remarked toher
horror, that this young man no
longer had a face. Each eye socket was
smashed, his skull, legs, and arms
fractured, his nose literally hanging from
his face, all is teeth were gone,
and his jaw was almost completely torn
from his skull. Although his life was
spared, he spent over a year in the hospital.When
he finally left, his body
may have healed but his face was disgustingto
look at. He was no longer
the handsome youth that everyone admired.
(I'm about to puke my guts out at this bullshit)
When the young man started to look for work
again he was turned down by
everyone just on account of the way he
looked. One potential employer suggested
he join the freak show at the circus asThe
Man Who Had No Face.
And he did this for a while. He was still
rejected by everyone and no one wanted
to be seen in his company. He had
thoughts of suicide. This went on for five years.
One day he passed a church and sought some
solace there. Entering the church
he encountered a priest who had saw him
sobbing while kneeling in a pew.
The priest took pity on him and took himto
the rectory where they talked at length.
The priest was impressed with him to sucha
degree that he said that he would do
everything possible for him that could
be done to restore his dignity and life, if the
young man would promise to be the bestCatholic
he could be, and trust in God's
mercy to free him from his torturous life.
The young man went to Mass and
communion every day, and after thanking
God for saving his life, asked God to
only give him peace of mind and the grace
to be the best man he could ever be
in His eyes.
The priest, through his personal contacts
was able to secure the services of the best
plastic surgeon in Australia. There would
be no cost to the young man, as the doctor
was the priest's best friend. The doctor
too was so impressed by the young man.
Whose outlook now on life, even though
he had experienced the worst, was
filled with good humor and love.
The surgery was a miraculous success. All
the best dental work was also done for him.
The young man became everything he promisedGod
he would be. He was also blessed
with a wonderful, beautiful wife, many
children, and success in an industry which would
have been the furthest thing from his mindas
a career, if not for the goodness of God
and the love of the people who cared forhim.
This he acknowledges publicly.
The young man?
(Gag me, this is such horseshit - I can't stand it...)
Mel Gibson
His life was the inspiration for his production
of the movie "The Man Without A Face."
He is to be admired by all of us as a God
fearing man, a political conservative,
and an example to all as a true man ofcourage.

On some subjects, I can't hold back.
Bush Advisers Tell Barak"Be
Ready To Walk Out"
Haven't we been down this
road before?
Here we go again - Republicans conducting illegal foreign
policy.
Remember the last time they did this?
Bill Casey (CIA head) told the Ayatollah Khomeini that he would
get a better deal
from Ronald Reagan if he would hold the Iranian hostages a few
more months.
...and boy, did the Reagan administration keep their word!
Two planeloads of Stinger missles went right to Big Terror.
The bastards who murdered 217 Marines in Beruit - rewardedby
Reagan-Bush.
Also,
Do you know what this is?
It's a Navy destroyer called the USS Higgins.
It was named after this man, Col Rich Higgins.
He gave his life for his country.
He gave his life like few men ever have.
The heroes at Normandy had it easy compared to Col. Higgins.
If you don't remember him, you should.
Maybe this will jog your memory.
He was strung up by Hezbollah, friends of Reagan-Bush afterbeing
kidnapped and held hostage in Lebanon while serving you and me.
I remember watching the video on the evening news.
His body was swinging back and forth, ...back and forth.
Reagan and Bush were so outraged by this act, they sold Stinger
Missles
to the murdering mother-fuckers and they called it "a workof
art."
Then they stonewalled the investigation, lied about
it, and eventually
President Bush pardoned everybody to keep these crimes
buried forever.
...but, as always, none of these treasonous acts were prosecuted
because they had nothing to do with Clinton's Cock.
If Smirk is offering Israel a deal to walk out, trying to kill
the
peace talks,.
we can assume Smirk is offering the Palestinians something, too.
Will the Republicans get to create another "work of art?"

But the truth is...
Smirk accused McCain of selling out his fellow Vietnam POW's.
Smirk accused McCain of being pro-pollution.
Smirk accused McCain of fathering illegitimate children.
Smirk accused McCain of being pro-breast cancer.

Texas Judge Reprimandedfor Repairing Guns in Court
HOUSTON -- (AP) -- A state judge has been
reprimanded for repairing
guns on the bench as he presided over juryselection
in a murder trial.
The State Commission on Judicial Conductsaid
Wednesday that District
Judge Lon Harper "failed to act in a dignifiedmanner''
and "failed to
maintain order and decorum in the courtroom.''
Harper said the time he spent repairingtwo
single-action Colt revolvers
took only a few hours during juryselection
that took weeks last fall.
"Almost all the judges carry guns. I justshould
have just kept mine under
the robe instead of outside of it witha
screwdriver,'' Harper said.
"I guess I won't do any more handgun repairon
the bench.''
The commission also cited Harper for allowing
a court bailiff to read a
tabloid -- which included a picture ofa
man being eaten by a python --
during jury selection and for distributing
business cards for his private
mediation business that were adorned
with the state seal.
This is more proof that Texas justice is out of control.
Smirk - heal thyself.

Charles and Tracy Mayberry, the 2000 version of Willy Horton,
up and moved with their five ugly and chemical-dump-stupid children
in tow,
from Tennessee to a new home near their adult children in Lima,Ohio.
They were assisted by giddy, high-fiving members of the TennesseeDitto-Spanks,
who
-- out of the goodness of their hearts and a desire to
further embarrass themselves
-- volunteered time and about $1,000 in expenses to load up a
moving truck and
drive the Sasquatch family 450 miles northeast, which is downwind.
Salon.com was unableto
contact the Mayberrys who, according to local media,
do not have a telephone. The police visit has already caught
the attention of
Lima's local NBC affiliate, and, according to neighbors, thepolice
have been out
at least a few times already to visit the town's most
famous new residents.
Hard to picture these two having a lover's quarrel,
but if I had to bet, I'd bet on the she-thing.

we'll see the Governor pose with any white kids?
