Coming soon - The Bart-Phone
I just heard a guy on CBS say, "Dick
Cheney has become one of
the most important and influential Vice
Presidents in American history."
Now, who can argue with that?
In my lifetime, there's never been a more important Vp, because
we've
never had a president as weak and stupid as President Weak &
Stupid.
Yes, we all agree that Cheney is horribly important to our young president.

What
do backers of Thomas say now?
By Ellen Goodman, 7/1/2001
Excerpt:
The whole country, glued to the television,
seemed to divide into right and left or male and female asking:
Who was the victim and who was the liar?
Was Thomas subject to ''a high-tech lynching''?
Was Hill the target of a White House smear
campaign?
I'd like to see Professor Hill sue Bush daddy and Slappy both
for defamation.
She wasn't a public figure. She didn't want to testify.
She was asked by the FNBI to tell the truth and she did.
So the "kinder, gentler" Bushes made her into a nut and a slut.
...and this is the man who raised our Failure in Thief?

Good day BC!
I saw you on C-Span I wanted you to know
that you provided me with something I NEVER thought I'd hear/see.
Someone on INTERNATIONAL television saying that
the Resident Select ISN'T QUALIFIED!!!
I believe you made history BC.
I could be wrong, but I don't EVER remember anyone,
EVER, saying that about ANY current President on television,
let alone someone actually saying that about
the moron residing in the White House presently!!!
Excellent job BC. If only the Dems on the

Elvis has Entered the Building
by Max Brantley
Excerpt:
Citizen Bill
Clinton was back in Arkansas last week and the crowds that
greeted him couldn't have been happier
if Elvis had returned from the dead.
For more than an hour, Clinton displayed
the skills that carried him from a small
Arkansas town to the world's most prominent
office. It was like going to an Old Timers'
baseball game and seeing Nolan Ryan could
still chunk a 100-mph fastball.

Why Bush Backer Munk's Vicious Attempts
to Suppress
a Story He Doesn't Like Are Doomed
to Backfire
By Tamara Baker
Excerpt:
It's not been a very good year for right-wing
goons who use thuggish tactics
to intimidate those who would talk about
the goons' crimes.
This is something that Barrick Gold Mining's
Peter Munk, who is even now using Britain's
conspicuous lack of a First Amendment,
and the prospect of a long and expensive legal battle,
to try to force Gregory Palast and Palast's
Guardian/Observer newspaper into disavowing a
story of Palast's, entitled "The
Best Democracy Money Can Buy" -- by calling it "libelous",
under Britain's infamously archaic libel
laws.
Guess who reads bartcop.com? Barbara Olson!
Yes, Barbara Olson, wife of Ted, saw how Ann Coulter got free french
fries for life,
so she ran down to her local McDonald's and signed up for the
program.
Ronald was heard to groan, "Ann has more experience, but Barbara puts more into it."
Bush
& Cheney Fleecing their own
by Bob Novak
WASHINGTON -- Republicans who paid $2,500
per plate to attend the Congressional Dinner at the
DC Convention Center Wednesday night were
miffed because Smirk n Dick did not eat but did run.
That followed a pattern set by the new president
and vice president. At nearly all luncheons and dinners,
they speak before the meal is served and
then leave without eating. Lobbyists and others who paid top dollar
for Wednesday's dinner grumbled that if
they must sit through the whole proceeding, Bush and Cheney should, too.
The Bush-Cheney example of don't eat-do
run is being followed by Bush Cabinet members, too,
especially Attorney General John Ashcroft

Hey BartPoop,
What the hell does C-Span mean by calling you
the left-wing version of PipeBomb?
Are you some mad bomber, too, in your spare time?
You said you had a lot of free time on your hands,
but that is only because
you get welfare for your mental disability and
your ADD condition.
So you spend that free time being a political
jerk.
What a waste of taxpayer money.
I am going to let the Bush Administration know
what you are up to
and see if they can stop your welfare payments,
you hog at the trough.
Does PipeBomb mean you blew up a building like McVeigh?

He meant on your side we have the crazed pipebomb crowd, and

Condit Corner
I read a quote from Gary Condit (D-Laterratherthansooner) that was suspicious:
"I decline to comment on the extent of our
relationship. To do so
would be disrespectful to Levy until
the mystery of her disappearance is solved."
Translation:
I'm not going to talk until you find her body, which is never.

As you no doubt guessed Matthews is attempting

If he comes back for round two, if you

Anita
Cheney Question
Dick Cheney made $22 million last year.
These days, he seems to be in very bad health.
He's not sticking around to help the poor.
He's not sticking around to balance the budget.
He's not sticking around to pay off the national debt.
He's not sticking around to heal the race problems in America.
He wants more money!
He wants the oil barons to have higher profits and he wants his
tax cut.
Get that - more than his health, he wants a tax cut.
Why does a very, very, very wealthy man with a bad heart want
to hurry back to the office
Monday morning to an extremely stressful job where he'll be attacked
by the left and the right?
I think he's got that same disease Bill Gates and Rush Limbaugh
have:
They all have more money than they could ever possibly
spend,
but they gotta have more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
As poor as his health is, why doesn't he retire and relax?
Why doesn't Cheney want to spend more time with his wif...
...nevermind.

Flashback from Volume 177 - Sleazebag Smirk
Deryeskshe Hendrix
Today's Laura hate show opened with the "news" that her little angel
Deryeskshe
has become "a full-blown Hendrix freak,"
so she bought him a guitar.
Trust me - that kid's on drugs.
You don't start out with Hendrix.
You start with "Up With People."
Then you move on "up" to Backstreet Boys or Britney Spears.
Then you move further into Mariah Carey and the Spice Girls.
As time time goes by, you graduate to Def Leppard and clean 'n sober
Aerosmith.
By the time you get to Hendrix, you're a heroin addict.
Remember, Harpy Laura said she keeps two guns in the house now.
I wonder if Deryeskshe is a Nirvana fan?

This weekend, we rented Rush Hour starring Jackie Chan
and Chris Tucker.
There are two sound clips I wanted to share with you.
The first one backs up a point I've been making the last week
or so,
the second one is going to get me in a lot of trouble.
The Paula Poundstone arrest,
Sidebar:
She's not my favorite.
I've seen her work, quite a bit, in fact,
she's just not my favorite.
Seems like she's a liberal (aren't all
good comics?) but, like Ellen Degeneres,
if I don't think she's funny, I can't just
pretend to like her because she's a liberal.
Sidebar within a Sidebar:
(These are very rare)
Years ago, the biggest fan I had at the
time dumped me.
I remember the week because it was Issue
#94, in May on 1998.
It was "Outside,
it's America," a Vegas trip report where I said,
"Ellen Degeneres isn't funny and I'm
no fan of Barbara Streisand, either."
She sent me an e-mail that said something
like "Go fuck yourself,"
and I never heard from her again. Trust
me, this was no ordinary fan.
She did more to build bartcop.com
than anyone this side of Marc Perkel.
I got dozens of e-mails saying "Rose
said you were the best, and we agree."
But that mention of Ellen and/or Streisand
blew the entire relationship. I think maybe
she was gay, which is fine, but Koresh,
after 93 issues I had no capital with her at all?
I never heard from her again - that's kinda
sad.
Course, I lost a big fan recently when
I said John Wayne couldn't act.
So, if you're a big fan of bartcop.com
and you looooove Paula Poundstone,
just take it like a man because we can't
all agree on every artist, y'know?
...back to Sidebar One:
I did a thing on the Paula Poundstone arrest,
saying I'm glad the LA cops have time
to make a sensational media bust
on a sensational child-sex arrest, while the murderers
of Tupac and Biggie Smalls (also not my
favorites, but it's fucking murder) are possibly
still drawing a paycheck from the Los Angeles
police department.
Ok, so if you saw Rush Hour, you probably know what this
first clip is.
Chris Tucker wasn't my favorite, and still isn't, but I sure
like him a lot more after
seeing Rush Hour than I did watching him play "Beaumont"
in Jackie Brown.
But he sure nailed the LA cops and their reputation.

to hear the second, and damn funny, clip from Rush Hour.
(also short, 378K)
It involves the "N" word.
Aw, what the hell, let's say it.
The word is nigger.
I'm sorry, but I think nigger is a funny word.
I can't help it.
Richard Pryor was the first monster comedy hero I ever had.
To me, Pryor is the beginning of real comedy.
Sure, Rodney Dangerfield was once funny as hell, (believe it
or not)
and George Carlin has always been great, but he stays away from
race jokes.
I think as long a race relations are a problem, race jokes can
heal.
Besides Richard, Eddie Murphy once ruled the comedy world, believe
it or not.
Then, obviously, Chris Rock took the crown and still has it,
even if Pooty Tang only got half a star from most critics
this weekend.
But what Richard, Eddie and Chris all had in common was not just
their color,
it was their treatment of the word nigger. They made it
funny.
They took the most hated word in America and brought in onstage.
Like most or all people, I was once a racist, sorta.
When I was a kid, in the early sixties, nigger was a pretty
common word.
If you saw two black guys walking down the street, they were
two niggers.
To a kid, it's just a word - like shoe.
Now before you send off that fiery e-mail that says, "I
always knew you were racist,"
put it in the context of the subject, which is the movie Rush
Hour, starring Chris Tucker.
If you saw that movie, I think you'd admit when Jackie Chan asks
the black bartender, "Wassup?"
what carried that scene was the fact that he's from Hong Kong.
Chris Tucker just finished telling him,
"Follow my lead, do what I do,"
so Chan innocently did what he was told, and hilarity ensued.
It was the funniest minute of the whole film.
The point I'm trying to make (mild applause) is that obviously
the word itself isn't the problem.
If Magic Johnson was watching Michael Jordan in 1996 and said,
"Koresh, that nigga can fly,"
it's meant as a friendly term of endearment, just as
"Wassup, my nigga," was in Rush Hour.
(And don't write to tell me that word is offensive to blacks.
What am I, from Hong Kong?
I'm about to address that, so hold on and keep reading.)
Remember Pulp Fiction, probably the best film of all time
in my book, even better than
both Godfathers and Blazing Saddles (which also
had some GREAT race jokes,
"Sorry about the up yours, nigger"" but Pulp Fiction
is probably where Tucker stole that line...
Sidebar:
We watched Animal House Saturday on NBC.
They had great race jokes in Animal
House.
"Do you mind if we dance wif your dates?"
How you gonna blame me if Animal House
was funny?
...and if I had more balls, we'd get into DNS from Pulp Fiction.
Aw, what the hell.
Probably the funniest part of that great, great film was when
Quentin Tarentino asked Sam Jackson
if he saw a sign that said, "Dead Nigger
Storage" when he drove up with the dead black guy.
Quentin politely explains to Jackson that the reason he didn't
see that sign when he pulled in was,
"because storing dead niggers ain't
my fucking business, that's why."
If that didn't make you laugh, you probably won't enjoy
bartcop.com
Tarantino, bullying the black, maddog killer with a race joke...
But back to the point, if Pryor or Murphy or Rock or Belushi or
Tarantino or ...and this is not
to be taken as flattery, but if Ol' BartCop uses that word, it's
cool, you know what I mean?
There's a difference between Magic saying, "That
nigga can fly," and Rush Limbuagh saying
"Niggers are lazy by nature. They just
don't want to work."
I'll bet Stevie and Ray can see the difference.
Besides, everyone knows blacks have driven English conversation
for at least my lifetime
and more likely for the last 200-300 years. Black man says it
today, white man says it tomoro.
If you were to say a normal phrase such as, "Hey,
man, I gotta go," that "Hey man,"
was written by hip blacks way back when they were still colored.
Damn, if I had a staff, I could give you a dozen examples
of how the black dialect from
years ago is the white dialect today. Hell, "rock
n roll" is surely black slang.
I'll think of fifty examples tomorrow, after this is posted.
In closing (massive applause) I haven't seen this subject talked
about before.
People almost talk about it a lot, but nobody hardly ever
says it.
I remember a Rush rant from years ago, where he said Clinton was
at some Demo fundraiser
and he donned an Afro wig and danced with a band onstage, (I
may have even seen tape of this.)
But the band loved it, and in fact, they urged him to put the
wig on in the first place.
Rush threw an unholy fit on his TV show, talking about how Clinton
was the real race monster
and how unfairly the conservatives were being treated for no
reason.
"If Trent Lott or Tom Delay had done that at a GOP fundraiser, there would be hell to pay."
Pigboy, you're goddamn right about that.
If those racist bastards donned an Afro and danced around, there'll
be hell to pay.
You've never been more right than when you said that.
But that's because most black people see Clinton as their friend
and they know for a fact
that Lott and Delay, (and the CCC) are strong on an all-white
America, and that scares them.
Of course, Clinton would never use the word nigger, he's
a President, for Christ's sake.
(He was our last elected president, too.)
I've been known to use the word, but I'm a good guy.
Sure, words mean things.
But some words are like the word "is."
They have more than one meaning.

Subject: Cheney's Pacemaker Plus
I remember a _Tales From the Dark Side_ episode
a dozen or so years ago.
Bill Macy (Maude's TV husband, to you) played
a high-powered business exec
with a cardiac history like Big Time Cheney's.
His stockholders refused to let him
stay in his job, unless he got this machine strapped
to his chest that would resuscitate him
whenever he had an attack. He continued
in his high pressure job, having a series of
increasingly serious cardiac events, each time
being brought back from the dead by the machine.
Things got to the point where he WANTED to die,
but the damn machine wouldn't LET him.
By the end of the episode, he'd become a crazed,
suicidal zombie.
The USA is already being run by a bunch of thieves
totally oblivious to the interests of all
but their ultra-rich cronies. Forget whether
Cheney's latest doodad is good for him.
Is it good for US having our country run by a man increasingly distant from the needs and desires of the LIVING?
