Shell Profits Top Forecasts
Shell Oil has fifth successive record quarter of earnings from raping consumers.
The energy giant's first quarter 2001 net
income was $3.855 billion
up from a record $3.129 billion from last
year's rapes.
Boy, Ol' Smirky really knows how to repay a favor, doesn't he?
Niki Update
Niki Taylor underwent several hours of surgery this morning and
remains in critical condition with severe liver and abdominal
injuries.
"She's out of surgery.... She's critical,'' said a spokeswoman for Grady
Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
Doctors began operating on the 26-year-old model early on Thursday
and
a spokeswoman said the procedure lasted several hours.
Taylor, one of the world's best-known models, has been hospitalized
since
Sunday when the Nissan Maxima she was riding in crashed into
a utility pole.

Bartcop:
Could you please (re-)explain the Ann Coulter/McDonald's
reference, for
those of us who didn't get it the first time?
seems like it's been, um,
popping up more and more often.
Along the same lines, since I see you're beefing
up your "new to BartCop?"
section, you might want at some point to include
a brief glossary or dictionary
of recurring references - for example, I didn't
know the source of the
Paul Harvey/horse-molester thing until you explained
it a few issues back.
That sort of thing. And K-Drag, "Tiger Woo,"
etc. As long as
you're talking about making the site more newbie-friendly...
Keep hammering.
EH
Evan,
The Ann Coulter thing is simply true.
She blows Ronald McDonald and gets free french
fries for life.
That's really her, too, no kidding.
K-Drag is short for Knuckledrag, Oklahoma.
In Oklahoma, we think cockfighting is a constitutional
right, like snake-handling.
In Oklahoma, we elect cocky goof-suckers like
Jim Inhofe and morons like Steve Largent.
The priorities here are football, God, white
power, family then country.
(Notice football is first? Uncle OJ Watts screwed
every white girl in the state when he was QB
for the Sooners and he's a big hero. They
say he's the real father of one of Frank Keating's kids.)
Tiger Woo came from the Shaft
movie with Sam Jackson.
The bad guy was Puerto Rican (I think) and he
raved and raved about Tiger Woo .
I think a reader would have to write the FAQ for
the page.
I can't get outside the box to look back in and

Could someone put that together and send it in?

Subject: "Liberal" judges
I've heard this explanation that Democrats appoint judges who "write laws instead of interpreting them."
Other than bussing (30 years ago) can any ditto-monkeys explain this? Please provide an example or two.
If a judge says, for example, that a state taxing
Bingo at churches is unconstitutional,
why would that be considered "writing new law"
as opposed to "interpreting the constitution."
I know that there are instances in which people
sue for relief based on existing laws
(there are dozens of court orders based on interpretation
of the Civil Rights Act),
but that's not the same as writing new law.
A judge can offer injunctive relief such as,
"You must make voting practices fair and equitable"
regarding a lawsuit brought by
disenfranchised voters just as he can say, "You
must pay CitiBank $30,000" regarding
a lawsuit brought by CitiBank. If someone
sues and wins, and the judge prescribes a
remedy, that's not writing new law, that's doing
what judges do.
When judges rule that a state's distribution of
school monies is unconstitutional and must
be addressed, that doesn't seem to me to be writing
law, that seems to be interpreting it.
Maybe that's the source of our differing opinions.
But let's remember, judges do that in
response to lawsuits that ended up in their court
regarding that issue; judges don't just wake up
in the morning and say, "Today, I'm going to
make the state pay more money to fund poor districts
and make large police departments promote more
women. Tomorrow I might outlaw Harleys
and levy a $100.00 fine on the irresponsible
parents of drunken college kids."
I'm trying to have an open mind about this issue,
and I'm more than willing to look at the
conservative argument to see if liberal judges
are crossing a line that I haven't recognized.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I suspect that
Republicans are throwing around this line
about "writing new law" and no one's ever called
them on it.
Of course, any explanation of the definition of
what "writing new law" must be careful
to not snare conservative judges, too.
Can anyone answer this without asking whether I'm a lawyer and telling me to shut up if I'm not?

Subject: CARTOON: 10-Year-Old Attacks Bush with Rapier Wit...
BC,
I turned my 10-year-old godson ( and his 12-year-old
brother) onto BARTCOP.
We made a big deal out of the election this year,
taking them both to different polling places,
and to the local Repugger and Democratic headquarters
this year on Election Day.
Little did we know how monumental the day was
going to be. Sadly, I had to explain to
the little guys afterwards, that American democracy
as I had known it, growing up,
was now officially ( by the writ of the Supreme
Court, no less...) over.
Done with.
Finished.
Their voice and vote was now able to be officially
circumnavigated and perverted by
the ruling "MoneyBoy" elite, working hand in
hand with the fanatical religious right.
Then, I inadvertantly taught them how to curse
and swear as we watched the faux Inaugural together.
Now the youngest has turned his comedic sensibilities
and artistic abilities towards political cartooning.
Here's one of his efforts.

I gotta quit watching the opening credits of West Wing
When I see "Written by Pat Caddell," I get sick
to my stomach.
How are we supposed to enjoy a show written by a traitor?
Let's compare Pat Caddell to the most hated women in America - Linda Tripp.
All Linda Tripp did was try to take down a president, (maybe break
a law or two
in the process) and stab her close friend Monica in the back
and humiliate her like
no woman in history has ever been humiliated.
If you take away the back-stabbbing, all Linda Tripp did was
fight for the Dark Side.
But Pat Caddell?
All thru the Florida theft, Pat Caddell was on every television
show that would have him
night after night after night after night after night after night
after night after night after
night after night after night after night after night after night
after night after night after
screaming, "I'm a liberal Democrat and I'm saying Al Gore
is a thief and George II
is the real president and I'm ashamed that my party is run by
thieves and crooks."
That's downright traitorous
So how can we trust a bastard like that to write our favorite
TV show?
If he hates Democrats so much, how balanced can his writing be?
Someone help me out with a fine point:
When it says, "Written by Pat Caddell," that means what?
He had the idea, and someone else wrote the screenplay?
Caddell can't write that snappy dialog, can he?
What does "written by" mean in TV land?
I didn't like last night's show very much.
The scene with CJ and Josh at the end - she felt so let down
by her president.
That reminded me of that bastard Caddell, getting in a shot at
Clinton.
Then earlier, Josh compared Bartlet to BIG tobacco, trying to
"scam the people."
Another shot by Caddell?
I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it.
I know I say this too much, but if The
Hammer was bigger, we could flood Sorkin's
office with letters asking him to please
keep the reigns away from that bastard Caddell.
The best part of last night's episode was the wordplay between
Oliver Platt and CJ
and the First Lady. There IS a difference between "should
know" and "need to know."
I want to be on a witness stand someday when a prick prosecutor
tries to trap me.
Oh, Koresh, please make that happen before I turn to dust - please?
I want it so bad. so bad, so bad.
I don't see any way they can wrap this up by year's end.
They say they have three more shows, so I guess they're going
to drag this storyline
into next year - possibly another Caddell shiv in the back to
Clinton?
Let's hope it gets better.

Known as the Arkansas Project, and funded

As far as Smirky's goons shutting down sites, I don't think they can.

Subject: Tiger Woods
Bartcop,
Tiger Woods wasn't invited to the White House.
At least that's not what he refused to go to.
Clinton invited him to go to the tribute to Jackie
Robinson in New York because of the 50 year
anniversary of him integrating baseball. Anyway,
he got offended because he said Clinton had
never invited him to anything before even though
he had been a college golf champion.
He's said that if he had it to do all over again,
he would go.
Probably not out of any love for Clinton but
out of respect for Jackie Robinson's family.
Keep up the good work!

If anything, I'm the anti-Rush.

I'm not a coward, hiding behind the best call screeners money can buy.
If bartcop.com had Rush's call screener, would anyone
see your nasty e-mail?
Also, the Chat & Post thing.
It exists for people who think they haven't been heard.
Does Pigboy, Nader or Moore have one of those?
Noooooooooooo.
Because people like ME would demand they STAND UP and explain themselves.
Sidebar:
You're not claiming Michael Moore would consent
to an online debate, are you?
I know MM's not the anti-Christ, but he's dead-ass
wrong about Nader.
If we debated, I give you my word I'd show him
respect.
I'd make him eat his words, but I wouldn't trash
him or anything.
Moore is wrong, wrong, wrong.
I don't care if he has a dozen Nader people to
help him in our debate.
I think a debate between us would be DAMN GOOD
for Democratic morale.
Talk to him, tell him I'll be reeeeeeal nice.
I'm always nice in debates.
Tell Mike if he whoops me, he'll have a powerful

I admit I didn't read every word of his long-winded rant.
That admission means it's incumbent on you to reproduce the

You up for that?
Once again, you have vindicated my decision to vote for Nader.
If I were you, I'd stick with that belief,
because the alternative is just too gloomy.
The realization that you put Smirk in the White
House might be too much for you to bear.
I don't know you, but I'd be saddened if you did something foolish
because you realized
you helped put that idiot Smirk into power.
Not only is there precious little difference between

there is also very little difference betweenthe

You made a mistake, and are trying to save face.
You put Smirk in the White House and you feel guilty - that's understandable!
Before I subject you to an online chat humiliation, let's reconsider.
If you're pro-Nader, you probably don't hate blacks and gays.
That makes us brothers.
What if we looked past your personal attacks and looked forward?
What if you and some friends got together for a friendly debate?
Would you consider that?
I'd hate for Smirk to win a second term because people like you are
confused
with the delusion that there's no reason to vote for the Democrat.

Backslapping
Bush Bowls Over Media
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Certainly Bush has benefited from the supine
Washington press corps, whose leading voices
still tend to discuss the new President
in terms of happy contrast with his predecessor.
In keeping with this theme, the current
clichés echo the “character” propaganda of last year’s
Republican campaign. Unlike Bill Clinton,
according to the predominant pap, Mr Bush is
“straightforward,” “plain-spoken,” “steady”
and in some vague sense “Presidential.”
These flattering descriptions fill a vacuum
formerly occupied by critical (and frequently poisonous)
coverage of the Clinton White House. There
is little mystery about why this has happened.
The conservative attack machine that blared
continuous abuse of everyone associated
with the Clinton administration has been
reprogrammed into an automated applause track.
Thank Koresh for people like Joe Conason and Gene Lyons.

No disrespecting the tree house, but the West
Wing, with its prime time network audience,
huge ratings, brilliant writing, and world class
acting, is the runaway champion of rational polemic in
the country right now. Every Wednesday,
Aaron Sorkin shows millions of Americans the difference
between right and wrong in way that is not only
hugely entertaining but also supremely convincing,
as he rips the bedsheets of the right wing's
fealty to wealth and hypocrisy.
And now, just a few short months after our 200
plus year old democracy was destroyed by
a judicial coup de tat, all of a sudden he is
going to be silenced?
I smell a rat.

Subject: Jenna and her 'agents'
BC,
In your short piece about Jenna and her hearing
being postponed,
you said regarding them being outside the bar,
"What good is the Secret Service if they're not
even in the same building as their charge?"
Well, they aren't very good, actually.
But you see, this really is the Repugs fault
that the Secret Service is not in the room with her.
Since InvestigateClinton, P.C., Clown-Court, et
al., forced the Secret Service to testify
against Clinton, the Secret Service has obviously
made a judgment call. If they think they
may be supoenaed to testify about something illegal,
immoral, or fattening, they place
themselves in a position to "have no knowledge"
of it!
As much as I dislike the Smirk-in-thief, and his
ilk, handcuffing the Secret Service
in this way is going to get someone hurt or killed.

What if they dropped something in her drink?
