"We don't really have a health care problem
in this country.
Nine times out of ten, health
problems aren't even life-threatening."
-- Vulgaboy, third hour.
Let's do the math:
Since every American citizen has a health care problem
sooner or later,
if nine out of ten survive, that means only 28,000,000 Americans
will die
from inadequate health care under the GOP plan, using Rush's
figures.
CNN finally reports the truth:
Bush
Has been lying about Tax Rebate
by the Honest Reporter
After weeks of touting the Bush line, CNN
has finally reported that the "tax rebate"
coming to your mailbox is not a
rebate, but an advance on next year's taxes.
That means you will have to pay for this check next April when you pay your taxes.
I would say that's a significant difference
and clearly another deliberate lie by
this most unethical and misleading Administration
the country has ever seen.

Subject: A Humble Question
Has Julie Hiatt Steele already run the gamut of
bankruptcy remedies?
If not, why not file and tell BOTH creditors
to go pound sand?
Robin, I don't know her numbers, but somebody said her legal
bills were $800,000.
She's selling her home to pay them, before the bank can foreclose.
With two creditors threatening to foreclose, she's afraid she'll end
up with a check
for $500 at closing and that's all.
Right now, she's not even online because she can't afford a computer
or online fees,
which is a heartbreaker considering she once had a paid for home and
a real job.
Her next deadline is August 11, so I guess we'll know something soon.
If anybody wants to contribute or just write a letter of support, write to:
Julie Hiatt Steele
10701 Arsenal Drive
Midlothian, VA 23113
Suggestion:
Write her a small check and ask her to endorse it personally.
That way, for $10 or $20, you can have a real hero's autograph
when the check comes back to you.
(I have no authorization to make this "offer,"
I just assume she'd trade an autograph for supper.)

If you are really being bugged by Eudora about
having to take ads or going
back to Eudora Light, tell you what...I will
mail you a copy of Eudora 5.5.
Send me a post office box which accepts packages,
or a real address, and I'll send it.
I still think that "you" are a team of about ten
to twelve staffers from the Democratic Party,
I maintain a small web site myself, and can barely
get up the time or energy to update it
once a month, let alone daily. It is unlikely,
I daresay impossible, that one man could
produce this site and hold down a 40-hour-a-week
job. But...whether you're a DLC

informative, interesting and FUN than most of
the stuff on the Web.

Tom, I got my mail problems fixed by downloading a new copy.
Thanks for the offer, tho and the great compliment.
The only way it could've been better is if it'd come from a ditto-monkey
:)
You're right about the time consuming crap, tho.
Just the mechanics take a couple of hours a day.
If I had ten or twelve staffers and a budget.....
Reminder:
Of course you know there are dozens of people
who contribute articles, and Christian in NY
handles the important mail and is the brains

Subject: ASS HUTCHISON AS DEA DIRECTOR
Bart,
Believe me, I'm just as pissed and outraged as
you are about Hutchison being confirmed as DEA chief.
What qualifications does this asshole have?
He was a former prosecutor, right?
He loudly invokes God when given the chance,
right?
He graduated with distinction from Bob Jones,
right?
His qualifications are:
He hates Bill Clinton.
He's a religiously insane
right-winger
He wants to use his Holy Bible
to stop drugs
But you know, I'm more pissed at our leotarded
Dems. This is such a wuss opposition.
I'm almost embarrassed for them. Either
that or I begin to succumb to the Naderite notion
that these Senators are all part of one corporate
party. I haven't reached that point yet, thank God,
but I'm ready to give up on these pink tutus.
They disgust me. They're in the wrong biz.
They need to stay in the concert hall and stay
out of politics.
DM
David, you are correct.
These sell-out Senate democrats confirmed this crazed ditto-monkey
98 -1.
That means Hutchison will feel like he has a mandate to cure with some
hands-on voodoo.
There was only one Democrat who did the right thing.
Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) who said he disagreed with Hutchinson's
support of
"the escalation of the drug war in Colombia."
Hutchison wants to cure drugs with "More God, more prisons and less education."
America doesn't want the drug problem solved.
They want to elect religiously-insane politians to "declare war" on
our personal freedoms.

MTV Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Last night, as MTV celebrated its 20th anniversary, blasts from
the past mingled with current
MTV favorites at a star-studded blowout aired live on the network.
The show opened with
Beavis and Butt-head, trashing the Network for being
shameless whores, selling crap.
"We wasted our lives watching MTV," Butthead says.
"Yeah, heh-heh, ...huh huh, ...heh-heh, ...we have," Beavis replies.
Sidebar:
I read yesterday that the Beavis &
Butthead "empire" has made $600 million since 1993.
Wanna bet Mike Judge only got about $6
million, or one percent?
Nevermind that he wrote the dialog, drew
the cartoons and did the voices.
Why should he make money when MTV
is greedy like a Limbaugh?
The show opened with punk band Sum 41, who did a song that made
them hop.
Then they wheeled out wife-beater Tommy Lee, who looked like
he was their once-cool Dad,
Check the giant hickey on his neck - how seventh
grade....
...followed by Rob Halford of Judas Pipecover, ...I mean Priest, who looked like Sum 41's grandfather.
I'm 66 years old and I'm Borg.
Three generations of headbangers, all on the same stage at one time.
The kids praised Lee & Halford as "true
heroes," while Halford returned the handjob by saying
"These guys are the future of heavy
metal," which made everybody laugh.
Tommy Lee ended the incestfest by licking Carson Daly.
The show was called "Live
and Almost Legal", an apparent joke on Jenna
Bush.
Trust me, when men talk about "almost legal," the phase is "barely
legal," meaning sex at 18.
If they're twenty and almost legal - they must be needing a drink.
The network's original faces, Martha Quinn, JJ Jackson, Mark Goodman
and Alan Hunter,
Nina Blackwood, (who was asked about her biggest influences and
she
DARED not reply "Stevie Nicks,"
cause she's gained at least a hundred pounds. Poor
Nina hid under a Queen Mother-type 40-gallon hat
and hid her face from the camera so we couldn't see. Perhaps
that was best, Nina.
Sidebar:
I wrote that before Jon Stewart said it
last night, I just couldn't get it published till now.
Stewart used "Minnie Pearl meets Steveie
Nicks," which was probably better than mine.
TLC came out and did a horrendous medley of bad songs.
Truly, truly bad work.
Mrs. BartCop was looking forward to TLC, so I had to tease her
when they sucked so bad.
The lead singer seemed to have gained a lot of weight, too, so
to cover up, she made the others
wear these chaps/potato sack pants that made them all
look like Rowdy Yates.
Then they went live to St Louis to see Aerosmith do "Walk this Way," ...again.
It's the only song we play for television.
And go figure, they cut away before Justin and Britney came out to join them.
I thought there'd be hell to pay, cutting off a big band like
Aerosmith in mid-song,
but that's just MTV being more fucked than anybody would ever
think possible.
They cut more than half the live performaces in mid-song so they
could go to a pre-taped piece
of shit about a girl walking around New York City. They
played that clip a dozen times while some
real bands were performing real music, proving
MTV is to music what the vulgar Pigboy is to politics
- i.e., a way to make millions and screw the industry
we're pretending to be involved with.
Some old faces (and I mean old) appeared, such as a Joan Jett,
That's Joan on the left
who was about as attractive as mustard on chocolate cake with
her punished recruit skull shining like Liberty's torch.
Huey Lewis, who coined the phrase "Hip to be square," which is
accurate ...if your name is Huey!
...then Pauly Shore, and Fred Schneider of the B-52s.
Yes, it was an evening with rock's elite.
Years ago, groups like Duran Duran, George Michael and an emerging
singer named Madonna ruled the channel.
They had a brief conversation with three VJ's from other continents.
When asked what the biggest difference was between America's
MTV and MTV Europe,
they replied, "In Europe, we play music
on our channel, instead of "Celebrity
Deathmatch,
Real World marathons and gross-out comedy
shows starring Tom Green's testicle."
Many of the acts interviewed expressed scorn for the billion-dollar
MTV empire of whores.
Christine Aguilera sent a video clip saying, "This
year, MTV and I BOTH made money,"
which sounds like her label has been screwing her, with MTV's
help.
Several former VJ's complained that they weren't paid for shit,
but working there
got them some exposure so they weren't too hostile about it.
Among the show's highlights was Billy Idol performing ``Rebel Yell.''
Moe, Moe, Moe
Go figure, in a room full of music superstars, Billy Idol stole
the show - for the women.
That's what MTV has done to music.
I missed the hip-hop medley.
Jane's Addiction played a pretty good song, but has Perry
Farrell always been that gay?
I don't mind a performer being gay, but these flames almost touch
the ceiling.
Ja Rule, Mary J. Blige and Method Man escaped me, but their interviews
went on forever.
Carson Daily said, without a doubt, Method Man was the "King
of Music," or some such crap.
Then, with every breath, they promised "the
biggest musical surprise of the century."
Sure enough, here came unplugged Kid Rock with special guest
Billy
Gibbons.
Kid Rock promised a political statement, but it was horrible
whoreness,
instead.
He did a little ditty (with Billy Gibbons playing lead, lending
some
credibility) called
"If I was the President,"
which was written by the same guy who wrote "Rules
of Engagement."
Sidebar:
Billy, love your non-disco stuff, but that
hat you've been wearing is so 1997.
Isn't it time you moved on?
Janet Jackson did a half-song...
They caught her in the middle of her show - and she was all wet.
...and it was the best I've ever seen her look.
Well, unless you caught that live "Black Cat" she did on MTV
a few years ago
where she pulled her top off and finished the song in her black
bra.
That was MTV's best moment ever.
Then Depeche Mode did a gay song.
Followed by I-didn't-even-know-he-was-gay Sugar Ray, who's music
idol all these years
must be George Michael, the way he was waving his ass
around for the camera.
...was there a memo I missed?
Did the rock community come out of the closet, and I missed it?
Boy George proved he still has his fashion sense.
Have you ever seen a man who could accessorize
better?
Pointy purple hats go with everything.
Of course, there were a few straight rockers there.
...and some Chili Peppers...
All this time, MTV was promising "the
biggest surprise of their 20 years."
The "special mystery guests" were getting ready to perform.
I figured it woiuld be Madonna, who was in town that night. Not
that Madonna is
all that super special to me, but the girl knows how to work
a stage.
Sidebar:
For my money, the night in 1984 when she
rolled around the stage in that wedding drees rules.
Not only was it the nastiest thing I've
even seen a woman do in a wedding dress,
but the walls were coming down all over
the place that night.
Madonna was serving notice to the world
that she wasn't like the other performers,
that she was going to do things her way
and nobody was going to stop her.
She wanted to go new places and, by Koresh,
she did.
Love her or hate her, she's got passion
and drive like nobody else.
In a sad note, Mariah Carey sent a video from the nut house.
She started whisper-singing "Happy Birthday" like Marilyn Monroe
did to Jack,
but then she stood up and started taking off her dress and some
dudes in white coats
ran in and grabbed her and the video feed went dead.
I hope she's OK.
Now the show was drawing to a close and we're still waiting to
see
"the biggest surprise in the history
of live MTV," and it turns out to be...
ANTON, drum roll ...
...the Red Hot Chili Peppers ...who we just talked to ...a few minutes ago.
They sang "Give it away," for the hundreth time.
Geez, it was almost like a letdown.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Chili Peppers, allright.
Christ, they're a BAND.
They play instruments.
And, of course, Flea has been my spiritual role model for a dozen
years,
but has there ever been an awards show where they did
not
play?
Only LL Cool J has done more award shows than the Peppers.
All props to the Chili peppers, but I thought Billy Gibbons was
a bigger/better surprise.
I just wished he would've played with somebody besides Pam Anderson's
latest boy toy.
Then they said "Good night" and seemlessly started the rerun to
fool the stoners
into thinking the party was actually seven hours instead of "just"
three and a half..
...another night of whoricity from corporate MTV.

Subject: thanks Greens rebutall
Please post this right next to the misguided "Thanks
Greens" cartoon.
I usually let the Green bashing slide but this
graphic is too much.
The Democrats are nearly as bad as the Republicans
on a lot of those issues.
OK, we'll give you a shot...
One point I'll agree with 100 percent is shame on all the Democrats for laying down over Florida.
You may have a half a point on some of those, but you guys were warned
the last week before the election
that you were about to screw up and you still did it, and now
we have President Bush as a result.
It's my guess no amount of clear-cut mathematical evidence will ever
convince you that you were wrong,
so maybe we should just move on.
...but, you're going to screw up again in 2004, aren't you?
To justify your 2000 screw up, you're going to screw up again.
So how can we move on if you're determined to give Smirk another four years?

Subject: Fuck The Ditto-heads!
Dear BC,
I noticed on yer site today that you're thinking
of "taking the gloves off" when so-called fans
take a cheap shot or give you a backstab. More
power to you if you have the stomach for
dealing with people like that, but let me propose
a question:
Why are you even giving the ditto-spanks the
time of day?
A True Conservative would jump at the chance to
debate you on your site.
A True Conservative would forego all the name-calling
and bashing and engage you
in a very intelligent discourse. There would
be a genuine exchange of ideas and both sides
would learn something!! But you will go through
10 thousand emails from gibbering ditto-spanks
before you will find one from a True Conservative
(that's how rare they are).
So do as you like with the Rushmonkeys.
I just think your energies would be better spent
hammering the Bush Wacks relentlessly.
I love your site and wait breathlessly for each
update!
Your Fan,
David Treadway
David,
I can handle anything the ditto-monkeys throw at me.
They don't have the ability to make me mad.
But when a "friend" stupidly accuses me of selling out, I get pissed.
Back-stabbers piss me off a lot more than conservative Republicans.
Helena Bonham Carter, ...she's been around what, 15 years? ...longer?
She usually does those frilly-shirt period movies which I avoid
like Jose Cuervo.
This time, she does a mainstream, "normal" movie, and movie grosses
$70 million in three days
and Helena finally hits the big time ...and she's on Biography
in a damn ape mask.
ha ha
She looks like a Bush voter.

do, my man
BC,
I know what you're trying (clumsily) to say as
far as the greens, etc.;
and I do understand you and your site, contrary
to what you'd like to believe.
First, let me apologize for my last missive.
Which one?
The one where you accused me of selling out for
money?
Or that idiotic Pat Boone analogy?
I had just quaffed a coupla' snorts and admit
I was a little hasty and arcane
when I fired off a little heartfelt rejoinder.
(You got the point, though,
I know from your little pistol-whipping reply
-- which I expected.)
That wasn't a pistol-whipping.
That was me biting my tongue for the last time.
Bart, please do not assume that the reason I ought
not to contribute the the growth
of the hammer is that I am a benighted slob.
Again, I really do understand what you are all about.
But here's what I think: YOU ARE TOO FUCKING
CENTRIST! Centrism is opportunist territory.
The dems and you need to move LEFT, goddamnit!!!
Stop pontificating about "pink tu-tu's" and such, will ya?
Listen, I'm no freakin essayist, but I'm not
the idiot you'd like to think I am.
ha ha
I'm "too centrist?"
My thinking is too much in line with the majority of voters?
Explain why a fuckin' democrat should have been the champion of NAFTA;
I don't know Smirk about NAFTA.
...then explain why a fuckin' democrat shoulda
been the one to throw people (mothers)
off of welfare and into the waiting arms or our
cheap-labor loving enterpreneurial class.
Substitute "move" for throw and re-ask that question.
Explain how rubbin' penis-heads with that freak Newt Gingerich was "good politics".
How many snorts have you quaffed today?
Explain why Ross Perot was wrong when he said,
"Run a republican against a republican
and the republican will win every time."
You want me to explain Ross Perot?
Is someone helping you with these questions?
Bart, I gave ya some money once. I'll give you some more when you move left.
I'm not moving anywhere for anybody.
Keep your money, buy George Stephanopolous's book with it.
Print that: then I dare you to try to give me one of your smart-ass pistol whippings.
Bill Nilsen (D-pissed)
That "I was gonna, ...but now I'm not"
you pulled yesterday was horseshit.
I'm glad you're on Nader's team, not mine.
By the way, you really going to send that $200 to democrats.com?
Or will you write them a snotty letter instead, saying,
"I was going to give you guys $200,
...but now I'm not?"

Netscape Cowards
To make this webpage, I have to use Netscape Composer because
I'm too clueless
to sit down and write code like the big boys do. Working with
Netscape Composer
is just like playing "Weakest Link," because you have to "Bank"
your work every minute
or risk losing everything when the program inevitably crashes.
It crashes more often than Smirky's car in his college years
But as time goes by, I got used to it.
So what's my bitch today?
Each time Netscape crashes, a window pops up asking my opinion
of their product.
Since that window only pops up when I'm pissed as hell at losing
all my work,
the messages to Netscape have been quite colorful.
It just happened again, and when that looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
list
of colorful comments came up, I thought about grabbing them to
put on the page.
But those tricky bastards at Netscape don't want you to know
how often their
two-Dixie-cups-on-a-string product crashes, so when that page
is displayed,
the right-click function of your mouse is disabled, the
sons of bitches.
I'll get even.
Next time it happens (I can't believe it hasn't happened yet...)
I'll try that trick with the
alt-control-print screen, or have the gutless cowards disabled
that, too?
