"I think Smirk won! He was great on foreign policy.

I'd like to thank everyone who checked in last night.
We had over 530 clicks, a new high for bartcop.com.
I'd really like to thank the people who clicked twice.
This morning, I'm surrounded by people who think Smirk won.
"Bush was so good on foreign policy," they're telling me.
It's so hard not to laugh in their faces, because Bush didn't
say anything last night.
The closest he got was, "I'd only send troops to GOOD places,
and I promise
I'll never send our troops to the BAD places."
They call that "foreign policy expertise."
Even tho Gore has been co-pilot for the best eight years this
country has had,
some people want the unqualified Gomer to replace him in the
big chair.
I sure wish the price of fine tequila would come down.
The whole night, did Lehrer ever ask a good question?
The questions you guys sent me we so much better.
Even the joke questions were better than what lehrer asked.
I was a fan of Jim's until this last ten days.
Maybe now we see why he's languished on PBS all these years.
He was cheap, so PBS could afford him.
I guess Bernard Kalb's price was $50 higher?
After the debate, I switched to the ball game.
I haven't heard much commentary on it, but do we even need to?
Trying to make this a race, the whore press will surely praise
Smirk.
Last week, they praised Smirk, who clearly lost.
A few days went by, then they admitted, "Well, Gore won, and
won big,
but he looked like a bully doing it, so he really lost."
They're going to invent a spin for Gore to lose these debates
no matter what.
For all anybody got out of that second debate, we would've been
better served
if Gore and Rove had just posted position papers on the Internet.
Another thing, how stupid is Gore?
Granted, he's 100 IQ points above the potted Bush, but why in
Koresh's name
would Gore agree to rules that prevented the candidates from
talking to each other?
That way, Gore could've put Smirk on the spot, something Lehrer
refused to do.
Gore has been on the spot for eight years, he can answer anything,
but Smirky
is still hiding behind, "I am my Daddy's boy," and it showed.
We found some local reaction:
"I think Smirk won! He
was great on foreign policy.
Nobody is smarter than
Smirk on foreign policy.
Smirk was the clear winner,
don't you agree?"
Say you agree - please?"

If you look up 'fools' in one of those Bartlett's
FAmous Quotes volumes,
you'll find numerous cautions to engaging a fool
in an argument and the advice
it is easy to look no better than the fool.
Gore is no rocket scientist;
debating a fool is one tough job. All he
needs to do is repeat platititudes.
Two highlights of the debates for me (make that three):
1. Bush's proposal to swap 3rd world debt for
rainforests as a way of 'forgiving' the debt...
I'm sure he had a fragment
in mind the Carbon Credits thing,
2. His only abrubt body language expresson to
the first time Gore said the word,
"CORRUPTION", while looking
at Bush but not with the intention that Bush
apparently took it... just
like a lier averts his eyes when asked the question that conflicts him.
3. I burst out laughing two or three times when
they had the split screen and Bush was
listening 'attentively' to
Gore. He looked just like the actor playing him on SNL
...or, is it the other way
around?
Koresh, I don't like the way this is shaping up.

Relax, everything is under control.
You don't think Clinton will let

In my mailbox today,
I saw something from my buddy Bill at the

He sent me this killer article, that I was going to post anyway,
but after I read it,
I noticed it was written by Christian Mitchell, who is a pillar
of bartcop.com
She's been so helpful, I call her Dr. Melfi. Strange
as it seems, pressure can
build up in the treehouse - she keeps me sane and producing.
Here's her article, that was printed in the excellent onlinejournal.com
Good job, CM.
Great Joe Conason article
Sad news from the Middle East today.
Four dead, 12 missing, which really means 16 dead.
If you're missing from a warship, you're probably not alive.
I don't know much about it, just saw the headlines,
but I can imagine what that vulgar Pigboy will do with it.
First, any retaliation that our government puts on those murderers
will be ridiculed and laughed at by the "blame America first"
Tokyo Rush.
How many dozens of times has Pigboy accused Clinton and our military
of killing children overseas just to divert attention or build
a legacy?
No matter who is responaible for the deaths, Tokyo Rush will
side with them,
declare Clinton a demon who got what he deserved, and laugh about
it.
Remember, before the right's pathological hatred of Bill Clinton
surfaced,
politics used to stop at the water's edge, but not anymore.
I can't envision a time when that genie will go back in the bottle.
I wish more people understood that Rush gets paid to divide Americans.
That's his function.
If there's nothing to talk about - don't worry - Rush will fabricate
something.
In times of peace and prosperity, Rush has to work a little harder,
but his
millions of eager ditto-monkeysd will follow him wherever he
leads.
I fail to understand our fighting men sticking with Rush after
he tells them
a false story such as "I guarantee Arlington graves are being
sold to the
highest bidder, and Clinton is the top salesman." When
the evidence proves
that never happened, they shrug it off and wait for his next
guarantee.
Like a lot of strange things in this world, I get more upset at
Rush than they
do when Rush urinates on our military, just as I am more outraged
at Pigboy
for using God's name in his personal slurs than "religious" people.
Nothing is out of bounds for Rush.
Our war dead, the God you claim to revere, the truth - anything
can be offered
up in sacrifice so the right can move an inch closer to sticking
a shiv in Clinton
and I can't understand it, no matter how hard I try.
I fail to understand why I defend the honor of our military more
than the military does.
I even defend the honor of God Almighty, at least more than the
self-proclaimed
"Christians" do, and I don't even believe in Him.
To paraphrase Al Pacino, "Somethings' really wrong here."
Any gamblers out there?
Anybody want to bet Fox News has their TV cameras at Dover AFB
to record the
flag-draped coffins as they come off the plane?
Anybody want to bet they have the families of the dead on for
an interview so they can
ask them their feelings about Clinton's "foreign policy debacle?"
This way, Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly and Zahn can remind us that
America is just
"getting what she deserves for electing a draft-dodger,"
even as they push
for the election of a wartime deserter. They'll say George
W. Bush can be
forgiven for his "youthful transgressions," because he has an
"R" after his name.
But how can the military forgive the vulgar Pigboy?

Subject: Debate?
Bartcop old buddy,
What happened? I'm starting to think if Gore
can't wipe the floor with
Bush maybe we don't want the guy as President.
Fer crying out loud,
he let the guy off the hook more times than a
catch and release fisherman
in a chartity fishing tournament at a kids water
park.
Why doesn't Gore run on the record of the last
eight years and compare that
with the last Bush's two terms in Texas. I classmate
of mine is a public school
teacher in Texas. I write him asking what he
thought of Bush and his record on
education. My classmate is a Republican, a real
Republican, and he said Bush has
done nothing for education in Texas. He hated
the voucher system and, in fact was
qetting out of the public schools, after 20 years,
to teach in a private school.
If Gore is to have any chance of winning, he's
got to run on the record and make
Bush do the same. Fer crying out loud, do the
women of this country know if Bush
is elected they will lose the right to choose
what to do with their own bodies?
Do parents realise right-wingers plan to take
over the school systems and turn them
into fundimentalist bible camps? Does anybody
realise if Bush wins America will
have elected a brainless coke head who is a puppet
for the extreme right wing?
Oh well, I guess we get what we deserve.
I saw 20 openings for Gore last night, but he didn't take them.
I can only assume Gore knows what he's doing.
I know that takes a lot of faith, but I saw some bullshit report on
ABC that said
when Algore Sr was getting his teeth kicked in by the Tenneesse ditto-monkeys
in his last re-election run for the Senate, Al Junior kept urging his
Dad to fight back,
but Dad refused.He just laid there and accepted the fuckin' he was
getting and
Al Junior vowed that he'd never get caught in that same position.
If this was the stock market, I'd rate Gore a "strong buy" right now.

Subject: Candygram for Dr Laura
I don't vouch for the accuracy of the following,
but I first saw it in
a Dr. Laura news group: Dr. Laura
Schlessinger's home address is
25065 Ashley Ridge Road, Hidden Hills,
CA 91302.
The "Homes of the Stars" web page shows the same address.
If you go to the LA County Assessor's web site,
you can get the scoop on this
address and neighboring houses by searching for
"Ashley Ridge." This doesn't
prove anything, of course, but the house at 25065
Ashley Ridge Road has four
bedrooms -- and Dr. Laura said, on her radio
show earlier this month, that
HER house has four bedrooms. Would you
be surprised to learn that the house
at 25065 Ashley Ridge Road has SEVEN bathrooms?
"Main improvement square
feet" for the house at 25065 Ashley Ridge Road
is 9427. The land value is
$2,119,357 and the improvement value is $1,695,484.
The annual taxes on the
property are $39,398.95. (Could you buy
a really nice trailer home for that much?)
You can gate a community, but you can't keep out
the United States Postal Service.
Picture the torrent of love, sympathy and moral
support that must wash over
Schlessinger mere (pronounced "mare") and Schlessinger
fils and Dr. Bishop,
in the form of snail mail! People probably
send Laura candygrams
(I understand land sharks deliver). Remember
her on the holidays with gifts of jewelry.
Mail sympathy cards to Dr. Bishop. Order
gift subscriptions to magazines for the
bunchkin (he would probably enjoy "Big Brother
Skateboarder" ).

Man am I pissed!
After watching the debate last night I was stunned
by the flash poll results on
the perceived winner of the debate. Either
the American people have collectively
lost their minds or the news outlets were flash
polling the RNC Headquarters!
Virtually every news outlet reported a 3-2 majority
win for Bush.
Unbelievable!
I'm going to take another guess here:
It's always easier for the out-of-power minority to mobilize.
Every debate in memory, including Gore-Quayle 1992, has been scored
by the
pundits as a win for the GOP, but then the poll results come in a few
days later
and the whore press pretends their "flash polls" and their own comments
from
that night never existed.
When they reviewed past debates this week, almost everyone cited Ford
freeing
Poland and Quayle getting stung by, "You're no jack kennedy" as debate
moments
nobody will ever forget. But at the time, the instant polls and the
media all claimed
Quayle won that debate.
Swear to Koresh, nobody in this country has a lower opinion of the American
voter
than I do, but I still can't believe when they get in the booth,
they're going to reject
peace and prosperity and gamble on the idiot with his tax cuts for
the rich.
Note: Dennis sent a good, detailed rebuttal to most of last night's points.

PJ, not to worry.
This situation reminds me of a guy who woke up with a bad cough
one day.
He got worried, assumed it was terminal lung cancer, so he gave
away his
possessions and sold his house and cars and gave his money to
charity and
then found out it was just a cough and he wished he hadn't gotten
in such a panic.
Smirk is a cough, nothing more.
