I like a good joke but would really appreciate
it if you guys or gals, whatever the case,
would get some new material. I'm really very
tired and bored with the same old lines about George W.
Johnny Carson used the same material the last
two pathetic years of his tonight show
only the associated name was Dan Quayle. Leno
uses the same set of Carson Quayle "Jokes"
but changed the name from Dan to George W.
Bartcop steals the NBC Tonight show material
and publishes it on their web site like it was original.
I think you guys should hire some writers
and develop some new material.

Walt, you have upset the staff.
Leno has the laziest writers in all of show business.
Stealing Leno jokes is like copying off Smirk in a geography exam.
I realize, in a perfect world, a web site like this should be damn funny
every day.
As far as the poor writing on bartcop.com I'm getting
a lot of complaints about it, lately.
I have told the writing staff they have two weeks to come up with better
material ...or they're gone!
You didn't specify which Leno jokes were stolen.
Could you get back to me on that?

Bartcop,
Love your site. A day without BartCop is like

without righteous indignation, without
clarity of thought, without seeing through the haze.
Here are a few quotes from folks who must have
been somewhat prophetic,
since none of them could have known the Great
Pretender, Smirk.
But I'd swear they were talking about him!
"Behind every great fortune is a crime."

novelist (1799-1850)
Wow, was this guy a regular Nostradamus?

It's scary that they think that way.

Rush opened his show today by explaining that
you can't outlaw lying in political campaigns,
because truth can be SUBJECTIVE.
But Rush, ...but Rush, ...I thought truth was
absolute.
I though there were one million ditto-monkeys
who believe
"There's right, there's wrong, and there's
no in between."
I thought only liberals thought that truth can
be in the eye of the beholder.
When did that change?
Will Republicans apologize?
Anyway, I'm glad Rush finally told the truth about this issue.
He then went on to take a little slap at Lawton
Chiles, the former governor of Florida.
He said that Chiles, when asked about some push-polling,
said that he didn't do anything wrong,
and he won't do it again.
Ditto-monkeys howl about that one.
They want to know what kind of liar says, "I
didn't do anything wrong, and it won't happen again."
It's preposterous to them that anyone could get
away with saying such a dishonest response,
unless of course the person saying it is Reagan,
Traitor Bush, Quayle, W., Cheney, Forbes, Hyde,
Barr, Armey, Harris, Forbes, Alexander, Gramm,
Dole, Bennett, Kemp, Jeb, Ashcroft or Linda Chavez.
Then it's PROOF OF HONESTY!
The funny thing is, 48 hours earlier, at the start
of Tuesday's show, Rush was doing exactly what
he criticized Chiles for doing. He had
been swearing at some employee, and apparently used
the word "shit" in the presence of a live mike.
Lo and behold, Rush declared that he didn't do
anything wrong,
and then he added that it won't happen again.
So next time ditto-monkeys ask the ditto-monkey
question
"What kind of liar says he didn't do anything
wrong, and then says it won't happen again?"
Be sure to tell them, "Rush Limbaugh, Lying Nazi

BC, I was enjoying you most recent issue (I made

on the GOP's overwhelming desire to have Ronald
Reagan declared hero of heroes.
Back when he was in office I was amazed at how
many people were fooled by that lazy idiot
(remember his office hours--something like 10am
to 2pm which is something else that shrub seems to emulate).
Then it hit me--he's the AntiChrist!
Think about it, he's the first president elected
in something like 120 years to survive the "20 year curse"
which killed all of the others while still in
office (and this, even after being shot!).
Need more proof?
How about his name?
R-O-N-A-L-D W-I-L-S-O-N
R-E-A-G-A-N, each name with 6 letters.
That's 666, the Mark of the Beast!
Finally, these same GOPers often decry "revisionist
history," yet throw it around like a big dog
when it comes to RR-the AC. RR supposedly
"ended the Cold War." What crap!
I guess Harry Truman was just farting around
looking for something to do when he began the Berlin Airlift.
The same with all of those presidents leading
up to RR-the AC when they did things like forming
NATO and the Strategic Air Command.
Ahh, I feel much better--don't you?

So I posted your (hilarious) letter complaining
about to NBC about Russert fellating Delay on national television.
Sheesh!
I got a couple responses. One that was that that
kind of crap belonged on right-wing hate lists not a progressive one.
Another how about we shouldn't be making jokes
at the expense of gays. These two or three people missed the
entire fucking satire of the letter or apparently
thought you were serious.
[sigh]
I hate having to explain to them but the humor
derives that the only people who would complain about stuff like that
(right wing nuts) would never do it because it'd
mean admitting that Russert isn't some liberal journalist who wasn't
practically felating Delay.
Michael,
Sometimes I get mail like that, too, from a gay person.
I'm unable to understand their point.
When Katherine Harris helped the Bush Bothers steal Florida, rumors

Subject: Some thoughts
Hi Bartcop,
I just wanted to write about some things I've read on your site lately.
1. ) The marijuana post today. What always cracks
me up is the " it always leads to stronger drugs " argument.
In that case, you could also lump in alcohol
or cigarettes. Hell, I tried those many years before smoking my first joint.
Hey Barr, it's also ILLEGAL to steal an election!
2. ) I saw Aerosmith on SNL after coming home
from a party. I couldn't believe it at first, I thought it was 1976 again.
That was just flat out, full tilt, get out of
your seat boogie.......Damn, it was good to see them rockin'.
Not singing some power ballad for some soundtrack.
3. ) I'd like to see your thoughts on the Golden
Age of Rock. I started off with CCR AND CSNY thanks to a
cool older sister. Then I became a 70's hard
rock aficianado. Aerosmith, Zep, Nugent, Van Halen, Montrose, etc.
I was in my teens and all I thought of was sex,
drugs and rock n' roll. Then I faced my conscience and became a punk fan
in the early 80's. Then came U2, Springsteen,
Mellencamp and anybody who rocked against Ronnie. I went to every Lollapalooza
here locally in the 90's and still love rock. I've added jazz, blues and
some country to my eclectic tastes.
And I've always been a Beatles fan but your posts
have renewed my interest in them. I was always a Stones fan
because of the bad boy thing. That's one thing
I love about your website. The mix of politics, entertainment and
cartoons makes for a heady brew. ( Stolen from
Father Phil on the Sopranos. )
4. ) My Mom is from Locust Grove, OK. She's a
staunch Democrat who passed it on to me. But I know what you mean
by knuckle drag. I remember my cousin
asking me at my Grandma's funeral in the 80's, " aren't you afraid
of
getting Aids from toilet seats " ? Back in DC,
she meant. I couldn't get on the plane fast enough.
5.) May is the best time to come to DC. The weather
is perfect, usually in the 70's.
Hope to do a shot of Chinaco with
you !
6. ) Mi madre watches the West Wing. Between
her admonitions and your posts I'm going to check it out.
But I agree with you on the Sopranos.
They need more good ol' American violence. Unleash Furio!
Thanks for the space,

Forest Chief Leaves Over Bush Policy
Whore City (AP) - Forest Service chief Mike Dombeck announced Tuesday
he is stepping down.
Dombeck told his boss, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, he was retiring
after 25 years, effective Saturday.
``It was made clear in no uncertain terms that the administration wants
to take the Forest Service in another direction,''
said Chris Wood, who served as Dombeck's top aide until Friday. But
``it is very cordial.''
Chris West, VP of the American Forest Resource Council, a timber
industry group based in Portland, Ore.,
said he had problems with the course that Dombeck and the Clinton administration
took the Forest Service.
West said Dombeck tried to turn the forests he governed into national
parks,
instead of recognizing the value of their resources, including timber.
As chief, Dombeck worked to conserve old-growth forests, increase staff
to protect wilderness areas
and improve funding to fight wildfires and protect communities near
the national forests.
Perhaps one of Dombeck's most notable initiatives will be the completion
of the roadless rule,
a ban on road-building and logging in 58.5 million acres of national
forest lands, except in rare circumstances.
The ban originally was to have gone into effect March 13, but President
Bush postponed it until May 12
so he could review it. Timber interests had sought a court injunction
to stop the ban.
William Meadows, president of The Wilderness Society, said about Dombeck:
``He put it back to its historic roots,''
Meadows
said. ``There are strong signals coming
from Bush.
... It is a shame that there are not going
to be more people like Mike Dombeck to push back.''
How to Become An Ambassador
"President George W. Bush is well on his way
to fulfilling a time-honoured American tradition:
the appointment of wealthy party political
contributors as US ambassadors around the world.
Of the eight announced appointments thus
far, five have gone to donors or fundraisers
of proven value to the Republican party,"

Mr. Turner said the president "was bought and paid for by the petroleum

and that "the Republican Party has become the party of polluters.''
Turner said he considered the presidential election results "to be a

and that the proposal to open protected land in Alaska to oil drilling
"is ridiculous."
"We should be moving away from fossil fuels," Mr. Turner said.
"He is trying to steer the country by looking in the rearview mirror.''
McVeigh Admits Oklahoma Bombing
Excerpt:
McVeigh told them he did not know there
was a day-care center in the Murrah building and
that was a cause of regret to him.
McVeigh was quoted as saying:
``I recognized beforehand that someone
might be bringing their kid to work.
However, if I had known there
was an entire day-care center, it might have given me pause
to switch targets. That's a large
amount of collateral damage.''
Just a reminder, BUSH was the president who ordered Lon
Horiuchi to put that bullet
into the brain of Randy Weaver's wife, not Bill Clinton. I'd
also like to remind everyone
that it was Reagan/Bush personnel that launched the raid in Waco.
Yes, Clinton was president at the time, but he'd only been in
office a few weeks,
and you can't think he'd put the Waco assault at the top of his
"to do" list.
The guys who attacked Koresh surely had this planned for months.
Also, Janet Reno wasn't even AG yet, but they loooooove to blame
her for this.
Reno and Clinton were both lied to by the FBI, and again,
Clinton had just taken the oath when all this went down.
If there was rot at the FBI, it didn't happen in a couple of
weeks.
Only the craziest of Clinton-haters assume Bill and Janet wanted
those kids dead.
And John Danforth, (father of Clarence Thomas and John Ashcroft)
declared that
Clinton and Reno were, his words, "one hundred percent innocent"
of starting that fire,
but when have facts ever changed the minds of angry, whites-only
ditto-monkeys?

On another note, I finally watched a network news

On NBC Nightly News tonight they gave a ‘report’
on the "energy crisis" in California. They talked about how
people’s energy bills would be raised 40% in
the coming months and then shifted to the cost of living in California.
You know how they ended the report? They insinuated
that the high cost of living in California
was directly related to the fact that CA has
the highest minimum wage! I’m not making this up!
This was part of the story on the California

In defense of his tax scheme’s tilt toward

about “class warfare.” This is an
interesting phrase to hear uttered by a President accustomed
to the tony precincts of Kennebunkport

Subject: Lay Off Ashley Judd
(I know you don't employ her -- I refer to your
treatment of her in the Picture Index, and "Judd Family Values.")
I've just discovered that Ashley Judd is one
of ours. Ms. Judd doesn't espouse the "traditional Republican family
values."
That's no reason to get rid of the pictures,
of course.
But now we know she has repudiated her mother's
values, and she's just the woman to do it.
I was doing some heavy research in the April 2001
Harper's Bazaar. (The stench from the cologne samples
is overpowering, but I struggle on.) Ashley
Judd's on the cover, and there's an interview by Zoe Heller.
(That Clinique lipstick is appalling -- raw-liver
red.) Ms. Judd describes her mother Naomi as
"Republican, conservative," but Ms. Judd herself
is not (although she claims that both she and her mother
are friends with Gloria Steinem). She has a Phi
Beta Kappa key and she's planning to marry "Scottish race-car
driver Dario Franchitti."
"What's your stance on abortion?"
"That to me is the crucible of my politics.
I believe profoundly in the right to choose. Everything I believe
in
emanates from that. That's why I don't
go to my church in Tennessee anymore. . . . there was one Sunday
when I was at church and there was a very fervent
and, to me, pathological sermon about abortion.
I just felt: Time to move on. I am a huge
supporter of Planned Parenthood. . . ."
"You'd describe yourself as a feminist?"
"Oh, please, yes. In every way. I'm
hard-core militant. I'm everything. Whatever. [Laughs.]
I am actually
getting more leftist with age, which I must say
gives me tremendous satisfaction, because my mother always
predicted I would come to the other side.
I'm so anti-big-business, it's unbelievable. . . ."
Ms. Judd also has a contribution to make to your
current controversy. In the words of the interviewer,
Ms. Judd's new movie, "Someone Like You,"
"is about a young woman who develops 'New Cow Theory,'
a tongue-in-cheek thesis about male promiscuity.
It suggests that the male [of most species] places a high value
on sexual novelty." Ms. Judd doesn't agree
with that view; she seems to think promiscuity is chosen,
not biologically determined. She points
out that you could argue that "women are more biologically inclined
to be promiscuous because they're multiply orgasmic."
(And no matter how "determined" some men are to
be promiscuous, they just can't achieve it.)
Margaret, anything for you.
I made an assumption that she was like her mother and sister - my mistake.
She sounds like someone I'd like to have as an employee.

Since I'm apologizing, maybe I should run her dyno-mite UK poster - to help her alumni, of course.
