After getting as much opinion and background
as I could
from as many sources as possible, (mostly
Mrs. BartCop)
I am predicting the final Survivor is going
to be
..Rich
I guess we'll know in two hours.
If you want, check back in at 9PM CST and
see who wins the Corvette!
From: sabutai@ix.netcom.com
The big winner out of all this is CBS,
but I hope Richard wins. Anyone who walks
around naked all day deserves something,
hope he used enough sunscreen on his Penis.
Friction burns down there are bad enough,
but sunburn, WOW!
From: ceol@loa.com
It's definately not Richard.. I
saw something a few week's back that revealed the winner.
I can't remember who the winner was.
It's either Rudy or one of the women.
From: jeff.makos@tfn.com
Here's how the deal will go down:
1) The first immunity challenge is a quiz on the 12 losers, I
mean
"castaways" booted off on previous shows. Rudy, Susan and Richard
are
political animals, so Kelly goes here.
2) Next up is the fire walking, which has a huge payoff: The winner
not only gets a free pass
to the final but also he or she gets to pick the other finalist.
Rudy wins this one and picks Richard.
Rudy hates Richard (and "queers" too, which is what he said
in Newsweek.)
3)The last seven losers pick the winner. They all hate Richard so he gets the ax.
ALSO: EXTRA "BARTCOP" PLUS POINTS for Rudy--Remember that Rudy
said about
Dirk's bible, "It's funny that he brough a bible. The only reason
I'd bring
a Bible [here is] if I needed toilet paper.
NEGATIVES: The old coot dissed gays and liberals in Newsweek.
Fucking Smirk
supported, I'll bet.
From: jmcavoy1@altavista.com
I can't see Rudy winning, I think the tribal council will finally
find him too opinionated.
Rich probably deservs to win. He worked the hardest on
getting food. He also was the most
schemeing in setting up the aliance. Utilmately,
this could be his downfall with the tribal council.
Sue is too much of a truck driver.
Come to think of it, she's the one who should be answering your
butch/femme questions.
ha ha
That leaves the other one. I don't know her name or what
she did or didn't do,
but by process of elimination, gets the cool million.
From: watsmata4u@monmouth.com
I'll go with Rich. He looks like the smart one.
From: Ecskitchen@aol.com
The last survivor will be Kelly !!!! I think. She is in
the best shape of
any of them and has the best chance to win immunity. If she makes
it to the
final 2, the jury will most likely vote for her.
Rich and Rudy will be
tossed by the Pagong faction of the jury and Sean the softy will
vote with
them. Susan, Rich and Rudy were pretty much selfish and
conniving their
whole time on the island, which is useful when whittling down
the tribes but
can come back to hurt you when the people you wacked are sitting
on the jury.
From: VALERIE002@aol.com
BC:
I've been watching Survivor since the beginning, and I'm rooting for Rudy all the way.
Rich (the fat naked guy) in no way deserves to win the million.
He's
vindictive and manipulative. (Kinda sounds like a Republican,
doesn't he?)
Sue appears to be a very two-faced piece of trash. I didn't buy
the whole
teary-eyed "Kelly reminds me of my best friend that I had years
ago" crap.
Kelly tried to play two-ends-against-the-middle, and lost... big
time. Her
reluctance to go along with the alliance and then pretend that
she really was,
backfired. The only reason she's stayed on these last two weeks
is because she
won the immunity challenge. It saved her butt.
This leaves us with Rudy. He's a little crotchety and pretentious,
but out of all the rest that remain, he deserves it the most.
Not many predictions...

Bartcop,
A couple of fun campaign finance facts:
- Bush has outspent Gore nearly 5 to
1 so far according to a Salon
article quoting the FEC ($97M to $21M)
- Gore actually has more money in the bank
today than Bush ($6M to $4M),
according to a different Salon article
quoting the NYPost.
ha ha
Odds are that Bush will have outspent Gore
overall when the election season is done,
but I suspect the margin will be more like
2 to 1 at best. So ... the race is even with
a 5 to 1 ratio and both conventions behind
us. I wonder how it will look as Gore's
spending catches up?
And, of course, there are still the debates,
which everyone seems to
think are advantage Al.

Not that I disagree.

All the other Senators plead to the angry member that he withdraw
his statement, or be removed from the remainder of the session.
After a long pause, the angry member accepted.
"Ok" he said, "I withdraw what I said. Half of this Senate

Drudge kept saying that Al Gore had his
lower teeth fixed while on vacation
during the Republican Convention. As
if that's some sort of crime.
Now look at the cover of Time with Al Gore
and Joe Lieberman, which had to be taken
after Gore picked Lieberman, a week
after
the Republican Convention.
Let me ask Drudge, when did the Vice President have his lower teeth unfixed?
Al,
Drudge is no match for you.
It would be eggs-citing to see you tear him apart.

"Austin, Texas." Those two little words
in the New York Times today are all
it says about the schedule of Texas Governor
George W. Bush today. Now, Bush
is ahead by 30 points in his home state.
Why, with less than 100 days left to
campaign for the Presidency, is he taking
a precious day off? Certainly not
to execute someone. Bush doesn't care enough
about taking a human life to
devote more than 15 minutes to death warrants
(according to his Chief of
Staff, Clay Johnson). So why is Bush home?
My guess is that because he
screwed up so badly Monday and Tuesday
on the campaign trail.
What we don't know is why he's retreated
back to Austin.
My guess is there are multiple reasons,
including:
1) He's lazy. Before he ran for President
his daily routine included
three-and-a-half hours off in the middle
of the day for exercise, napping and
video games).
2) He's not tough. Every time John
McCain spanked him in the primaries, W
would retreat to Austin for the comfort
of his little feather pillow that he
talked about so often on the campaign trail.
Remember: he's never done a
hard thing in his life. Everything has
always been handed to him. So even
his rather leisurely pace of campaigning
wears him out when the going gets
tough.
3) He's plotting. Remember in the
primaries when he retreated to Austin then
pronounced himself "A Reformer With Results"?
(Dave Letterman said that was
an improvement on the old slogan, "A Dumb
Guy With Connections.") But he
didn't just emerge with a new slogan. He
emerged to lead the most vicious,
ruthless, amoral campaign against McCain
since the days of W's mentor, the
late Lee Atwater. Look for Bush to do
the same now.
He'll conveniently forget all those sanctimonious
promises about not attacking Gore,
and try to drag Gore and Lieberman into
the gutter. Again, keep in mind how
Bush and his allies smeared McCain. They
said this war hero had betrayed
his fellow POW's. They whispered about
his mental health (Pat Robertson
openly called McCain "unbalanced.") Someone
sent out vicious emails about
McCain, his wife, and his family. It was
the most vicious campaign
since Poppy was falsely accusing Mike
Dukakis of being mentally ill.
Editor's Note: That son-of-a-bitch. And he calls himself a Christian?
So watch for the new Bush to emerge after
a little downtime with his feather
pillow. Look for a new slogan (printed
thousands of times on his backdrop --
I guess so W doesn't forget it), and then
watch for the smear patrol that
somehow, mysteriously appears every time
a Bush is about to lose an election.
You heard it here first.

Letter to the Editor
From: Marc Perkel
They shouldn't call it a "Surplus"
I think the words "budget surplus" are not
accurate and they confuse the
political debate about economic policy.
The word "surplus" gives people
the impression that the government has
left over money that it doesn't
know what to do with. Nothing could be
further from the truth. What we
really have is a huge national debt and
the ability to finally start paying it off.
If the national debt were paid off then
we would indeed have a surplus.
In fact, we would have a huge surplus because
we wouldn't be paying hundreds
of billions of dollars in interest on the
debt. But in order to get there, we have to
stay smart and maintain responsible fiscal
discipline and continue the economic
course we're presently on.
What really bothers me is talk of spending
the "projected" surplus.
The projected surplus is mythical money
that certainly will not exist if we
go back to the policy of squandering money.
A lack of responsible spending
will have real consequences on the future
of social security, the stock market,
and America's economic strength. Just because
things have been good lately
doesn't mean we have the freedom to abandoned
sound economic policy.

Smirk W. Bush (The "W" stands for "Education")
In a two-day verbal saga that started late Monday in Des
Moines and continued here Tuesday, Bush decided to offer a
detailed explanation of the $1.3-trillion, 10-year tax cut that forms
the foundation of his presidential bid.
The backdrop: recent opinion polls that show voters increasingly
believe Vice President Al Gore is better equipped to manage the
economy than Bush--a post-political convention flip-flop--and
Gore's criticism that Bush can't both cut taxes and create programs.
Bush insists he can.
But maybe it was the late hour. Or the Bush clan's
well-documented verbal curse. But the more the Texas governor
talked--sometimes confusing billions with trillions in a rambling
speech--the more puzzled the audience looked at a $210,000 Des
Moines fund-raising dinner.
"Between now and the next 10 years, our budget's going to
grow from roughly $1.9 billion to an additional spending of $1.9
trillion to an additional spending of $3.3 trillion," Bush began.
"That's before we even account for the surplus.
"We will spend $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years on top of a
$1.9-trillion budget. We've still got trillions of dollars left of the
surplus, and surely we can give some of the money back to the
people who pay the bills. Surely, surely we can."
It was an evening of verbal quicksand--Bush also vowed not to
let "terrorists or rogue nations hold our nation hostile or hold our
allies hostile," and Tuesday wasn't much better, no matter how
much Bush and the campaign tried to fix things.
Before taking off from Des Moines to talk about his education
proposals in Illinois and Missouri, Bush sauntered back in the
campaign plane and tried to explain just what he was getting at.
"I've got to do a better job of making it clear," he told reporters,
"that starting with a baseline of about $1.9 trillion in the next 10
years, the budgets will increase by about $3.3 trillion. And yet
we've still got another $2.3 trillion of surplus."
Got that? Neither did the press corps. A few hours later, Scott
McClellan, a campaign spokesman, tried to clear up the
mathematical muddiness during an airport rally here. He couldn't.
Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill.), who warmed up the crowd at an
airport rally here before introducing Bush, didn't help matters when
he described Bush's tax cut plan as "very ambitious" but that many
Americans might find it "problematic."
When asked by reporters whether voters have an appetite for a
big tax cut--polls have shown that they do not--LaHood replied: "I
think they're thinking about it. I think they're still trying to figure
it out."
Flying from to St. Louis, Bush, Karen Hughes took a crack at
explaining Bush's taxing explanation--after first insisting that Tuesday
on the Bush campaign trail was really about education.
In fact, Tuesday was a rare slip for the disciplined Bush
campaign, which has come this far by staying studiously on message
for more than a year. But not this day.
This day, inadvertently, was taxes. And what Bush was trying to
say, Hughes told reporters, is that the current federal budget is
about $1.8 trillion. Over the next 10 years, inflation and expansion
of existing government programs will cost $3.3 trillion more.
But at the same time, the federal budget surplus will be an
estimated $4.6 trillion. If Bush were president, half of that surplus
would go to save and secure Social Security. And $1.3 trillion
more would go to the tax cut. And that would leave just under $1
trillion for programs covering everything from education to
improving military housing.
"The point the governor was making is that, when the
Democrats claim that by offering a tax cut you are cutting services,
that is just simply not true," Hughes said.
Smirk couldn't have said it better himself.

Rush has been very critical of FEMA the
last couple of days, implying that
it's an instrument of socialism. The storm
appears to be a few hundred
miles from where Rush lives, but in typical
PigBoy fashion he's talking
brave anyway, eschewing any government
help in case his palatial pigsty gets
slammed by the wrath of the Good Lord (please,
oh pretty please).
I know there are a lot of Rush listeners
down in Miami. Do you think they
resent being told that they are communists
feeding on the government tit if
they accept aid from FEMA? PigBoy is calling
his sheep "commies,"
and they go right on worshipping him.
If FEMA is so bad, why doesn't W. propose
abolishing it? If FEMA is an
affront to American values, it should be
dismantled. W.'s not afraid to
dismantle one of our most popular agencies,
because he just does what's in
his heart, remember?
ha ha
Maybe he can take his campaign down to Miami
this weekend
and explain to all those people that they
need to stand up like Americans
and quit looking for government handouts.
