Subject: bin Laden at Tora Bora
Thanks Bart, I thought I was the only one
who remembered the Tora Bora truce.
I said that day that it was Bin Laden's
ticket out, and that there was never any intent to catch him.
After all, Osama is a team player.

Osama let Bush destroy the Constitution and the budget.
He also gave Bush an approval rating of 90 percent.
Nobody has done more for Bush's career than his old partner Osama.

Subject: understanding congress
There are those who question if Congress
and President Bush inserted themselves into the death
of Terri Schiavo as a mere political stunt.
This case, however, hits pretty close to home with a lot
of members' personal lives when it comes
to withholding food from the brain dead.
That's an issue they relate to personally
and something they worry about. If a judge can withhold
food and water for Terri Schiavo because
she's brain dead - a judge could close the cafeterias in
the Congress and the Whitehouse as well
for the same reason. Something to think about!

Bart,
I read your site quite a bit, but I've never
seen you make the argument that people oughtta
keep their religioun out of our politics.
I agree with you that religious insanity is ruining the nation,
but it seems like you just assume that
argument as a given.
Here's a link to someone making the case that it's downright unpatriotic:
I think she nails it: whatever reasons you
have for thinking the nutty things you do doesn't give you
a right to try to make me act like you
want me to act or think what you think--that would be the very
antithesis of basic American values as
embodied in the 1st amendment. A warning--the post is long,
about 2500 words I'd guess.

I've noticed Bush gets the biggest smirk on his face when he says "Secretary Rumsfeld is doing a great a job."
The big smirk is also evident when he first
introduces one of these losers.
I then know it is all a big joke- It's

Subject: Rove killing Jesus
To the editor:
Two years ago, Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq to disarm it of weapons of mass destruction that have never been found.
"WWJD?" is a cliché used by Christians
to guess what Jesus would do in a given circumstance. The first thing he
might do
today is file a defamation of character
lawsuit against those who abuse his name, using it to justify the Iraq
war among other abominations.
If the Jesus story were lived out today,
the U.S. would be the Roman Empire, the lone superpower believing itself
superior
and anointed to set global order. Jesus
would live in some conquered land, perhaps Iraq. We might even have rounded
him up
along with other innocents and abused him
in Abu Ghraib. You may have seen him in some of the pictures.
Some people pick Bible quotes out of context
to claim that Jesus hates gays, approves war and thinks that welfare should
be ended.
Anyone who reads the whole story, like
any other biography, will come to an unmistakable conclusion: Jesus was
for peace, forgiveness,
social justice, nonviolence, loving your
enemies, taking care of the poor and underprivileged; he put his life on
the line for all of this.
For the rulers of his time, Jesus threatened
the status quo of their power. For that, he was killed. If Christians are
not trying
to imitate Jesus today, they should not
claim to be his followers. To allow our leaders to take us to war for a
series of false
reasons is not following Jesus and makes
us passive accomplices in this abomination that only lately attempted to
mask itself
in promotion of freedom and democracy.
If you are for war and against social justice,
maybe you shouldn’t call yourself Christian.
A more appropriate name would be neo-Pharisee.

Subject: Ward Churchill Wannabee - Proof
"Ward Churchill has been masquerading as an Indian
for years behind his dark glasses and beaded headband.
He waves around an honorary membership
card that at one time was issued to anyone by the Keetoowah Tribe
of Oklahoma. Bill Clinton and
many others received these cards, but these cards do not qualify the holder
a
member of any tribe. He has deceitfully
and treacherously fooled innocent and naïve Indian community members
in Denver, Colorado, as well as many other
people worldwide. Churchill does not represent, nor does he speak
on behalf of the American Indian Movement."

Bart, I'm not sending this to rag on you

Churchill has fooled a lot of people.
A lot of people. I don't really care if you acknowledge this online
or not,
but you should be made aware of the fraud
this man has perpetrated, for your own information.
I would also like to give you my opinion
as a mixed-race person (of which American Indian is part of the mix)
and a member of the Pine River Inter-Tribal
Association, that to me, Ward Churchill looks like a white
guy with long hair.
(Which he is)

All I said is he has the face of an Indian, no matter what memberships
he holds or doesn't hold.
I don't have a membership card proving I'm white, either.

Bart -
Listening to the radio in Des Moines, you

that the feeding tube would be pulled.
They are screaming for Jeb Bush to move in with marshals
and take possesion of Terri Schaivo.
"Get government off our backs" my ASS!!!!
They want everyone to do things their way.
Maybe just standing back is a way of giving
them enough rope to hang themselves with.
Something like 72% of voters think the Congress

Subject: record industry
Bart-
One quote in particular caught my eye in
this bit: "It's stopping new artists from coming forward..."
What planet is this guy on? I'm a
record producer and a small label owner. I know of at least 2-3 hundred
people
who would love a chance to have their music
bought by some and stolen by others. This is an out-and-out baldfaced
lie.
He's blaming their lazyness in promoting
new and interesting sounds on the customers. If people weren't coming
forward
to be recording artists, how would American
Idol even exist? Americans will never stop chasing the spotlight,
no matter
how unhealthy the recording industry's
profit margins are.

Franks knew damned well he'd get his ass
kicked, just like the Russians did in the 70's,
so he took the chickenshit way out and
sent some locals up there who looked the other way
while Osama and the boys booked. Yet all
you hear about from the brain dead conservatives

Bush was trying to save his own life. Think

while ignoring a totally preventable outrage
that recently occured in Florida. I refer to the case
of the young girl abducted from her own
bedroom and murdered by a convicted sexual predator
who happened to"fall through the cracks"
of the criminal justice system.
The same criminal justice system that requires
Martha Stewart to wear an electronic tracking device 24/7 ,
presumably so she doesn't threaten anyone

There's a visiting professor at McGill University
(IIRC) who used to produce the Clash,
who has announced the next marketing model:
Any song, any time, downloadable and burnable, for five cents.
There would be essentially no distribution
costs for the record companies, and every copy burned would be pre-paid
for.
My kids and I sat around at supper, talking about the stuff we would buy to listen to even once...
Public Enemy. Eminem. Everything Springsteen ever did.
Green Day.
Absolutely all the Led Zep, Hendrix, Coltrane, Basie, Hoyt Axton...
T-Bone.
A ton of old blues and jazz - ODJB, NORK, Smack Henderson, Isen Jones. Spike Jones.
Maybe all the Mozart, Beethoven and Bartok string quartets.
Tori Amos, Ani Defranco, Guy Clark.
And the Beethoven piano sonatas and concertos.
And Bocephus.
stuff that you would never find in stores.
Stuff that you would never listen to twice.
Stuff you were just curious about: You see
somebody's writing credit on a song you like,
you go and download twenty or thirty songs
by him, to see if they're all good.
For a total cost of $2-3 buck a cd, I'd
be buying music five times a week...
I don't know if it will ever happen, but
they'd sure make a lot more money off me than they are now.
