"You saw the president yesterday. I thought
he was very forward-leaning,
as they say in diplomatic
nuanced circles."
-- Smirk, referring to himaelf in the third person (or
was he talking about Cheney?)
concerning his meeting with Putin,
Rome, July 23, 2001
The president of the United States has a beard
The Nader-go-Round
From: stevegrimmett@hotmail.com
Subject: Getting to the bottom of your Nader argument.
I see what you're saying about Nader,
but I'm interested in getting to the bottom of
your argument.
1. Are all of the votes for candidates to the
left of the Democrats
automatically entitled to
the Democratic candidate?
First, I love a challenge with numbers.
To answer you - Yes, if the alternative is Weak,
Stupid and Heartless.
To suggest otherwise would be illogical.
Is Nader solely to blame, or
does the blame extend to all of the fringe socialist
candidates who got more than
enough votes to close the 537-vote gap?
No, Nader is mostly to blame, but not solely.
The other fringe socialists had no way to call a
press conference the Friday before
the elction and say, "For the good of the country,
we can't let the double-polluter in
because we want the single polluter to fail."
(Granted, I assigned those words to you, but the
"they're twins" argument pulls you there.
You admit Bush is worse than Gore, don't you?
Yes or no - isn't a Gore presidency better for
your issues than a drunken no-job loser?)
Gotcha...
But you were sold on the idea that your vote would
"send the signal."
But the Greens did more than send a signal.
You guys paid for his airfare to Washington
You sent Karl Rove the signal that drilling in Alaska,
$1000 monthly electrical bills,
overt racism, tax cuts, arsenic, homophobia and
the whole Texas Package.
...and we're about to buy a trillion-dollar Star Wars system instead of health care.
...and you're going to vote for him again in 2004?
2. Fifty-two percent of eligible Americans decided
not to vote on election day, and chances are
they were mostly pro-Gore.
Did the Democrat majority who could have voted,
but did not, actually vote
for Bush?
Well, ...lying by ommission is a lie, ...so
maybe you're onto something there.
But again, there was nobody who could've called
a press conference for non-voters and said,
"The country is bigger
than my ego, so let's save America from the BIG OIL companies."
But Nader refused to do that, didn't he?
3. In an unlikely presidential election, the Democratic
candidate is Bob Barr and the GOP has David Duke
(or someone else three inches
to the right of even Bob Barr on the yardstick). In the polls, Barr and
Duke
are both at 48.5%, and Green
Party candidate Bill Clinton is at 3%. Who would you vote for?
Trick question!
But I'd like to answer it.
You won't like this, but I'd vote for David Duke.
It'd be illogical to sabotage my near-ally to ensure victory
for my enemy-for-sure.
And who'd vote for a loser with three percent?
The way I see it, Barr and Duke are equally racist, but
Duke is more honest about his positions,
he doesn't have an obsession with Clinton's cock and,
far as I know, never murdered his baby.
Duke is clearly the man!
Thanks,
Steve
So
Far, Bush is Only Play-Acting as President
Lance Morrow looks at the Man in the White House and
finds, at least through the
first few months, there's no there there.
by Lance Morrow
Excerpt:
"What our heat-sensors pick up at the center
is Dick Cheney. The vice presidency, historically a
vacuum and nonentity — not worth
a pitcher of warm piss — has become, by an odd default,
the engine room, even as Cheney
ferries his ticker in and out of the Coronary Care Unit."
Model Niki
Taylor re-admitted to hospital
Supermodel is being treated at a Florida hospital,
her publicist said Friday.
Niki Taylor, 26, who spent eight weeks in the hospital for treatment
of life-threatening
liver damage and other injuries, is in stable condition at a hospital
in Florida, where she
was taken Tuesday, spokeswoman Lou Taylor said.
"Due to the severity of Niki's injuries from the April 29 accident,
setbacks and future treatments
are expected as part of her ongoing recovery,'' the spokeswoman said
in a written statement.
"This has been a very long ten-week period for everyone, both emotionally
and physically,
...especially for Niki,'' the statement said. ``Right now we
are just taking it one day at a time
and thanking God for returning Niki home to us."
Coke Bear says:
"Hang in there, Niki"
Nuclear Rant

"I told you if I kept my mouth shut and stayed

Subject: Saw BIG DOG tonight
Mr. B: I went to see PRESIDENT Clinton in
Little Rock this evening. He told about
his vision for the Presidential Library at an
event for library donors. He looks better than ever.
Mary Steenburgen was there, along w/ a number
of his former White House staff, old and
young liberals, Sen. David Pryor, and others
whom I can't remember this late.
I felt liberated to be in a building with absolutely
NO repugs anywhere around.
Scope out tomorrow's right-wing Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
for the toned-down version of the event.
Wonder if it'll make page one? Little Rock
is looking great, especially downtown in the old river market
area where there used to be abandoned warehouses
and winos but now there are clubs, restaurants,
entertainment, etc. The presidential library
"park" will extend from LaHarpe at the River Market
all the way to the Presidential Center (or whatever,
Library, Park). The library will be just east of
the old Choctaw Train Station, which you might
recall was a Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant
(ugh -- frozen Lasagna from Sam's) that failed.
The old railroad bridge over the Arkansas will be
fixed up for pedestrians, maybe with shops and
stuff along it, and it will be all lit up at night.
When it is finished and opened, I might have to quit my job just to go hang out over there.
I've been reading your site for about a year --
this is the best thing on the net.
Keep up the good work, and please know I truly
appreciate the hours and effort you put into this thing.
You write good, boy.
Best regards,
Paddy

Feds To Clear Clinton In Marc Rich Pardon Case
Excerpt:
NY1 has learned Friday the Manhattan U.S.
Attorney's office has not been able to find
proof former president Bill Clinton did
anything illegal in his last-minute pardon of Marc Rich.
A federal official tells NY1 prosecutors
investigating the controversial pardon heard about
lapses in judgment by the former president,
but not anything worthy of an indictment.
ha ha
They tried for soooooo many years.
Every wild-ass, trumped up charge imaginable, and a dozen that
aren't, was hurled at him.
Hell, this is old news.
We reported right here on bartcop.com over
six months ago that Clinton was innocent.
He's always innocent.
The best headline Karl Rove can authorize is "GOP claims bad judgment by Ass-kicker Clinton."
Ain't this the damn truth...

Can you explaining what the hell this means?
"Weak & Stupid gave the surplus to BIG OIL."
Steve
Steve, I will attempt to get attribution before I press "send," but
Friday, I read a story
that Bush signed some tax break for the energy companies to the tune
of $37 billion.
There was a story about the $57 billion dollar surplus being a $51
million DEFICIT now.
The American taxpayer is down $108 billion,
and Bush gives $37 billion to the industry with the highest profits
in their history.
How would you characterize BIG OIL's federal tax windfall gift?

They didn't mind when Smirk gave a spy plane to China and apologized

Subject: Robin's question about Julie Hiatt Steele and bankruptcy:
It's a little hard to declare bankruptcy when
you don't know who the heck you owe
the money to - one of the aspects of the process
is you have to list all your creditors.
Of course, when the bankruptcy's advertised,
you can then watch them come out of
the woodwork. One problem, though; in the state
of Virginia, you can't keep your
house if you file bankruptcy, so, if Julie were
to do that, she'd still be out of a home,
with exactly bupkis to show for it.
I'm a friend of Julie's, and I can tell you we've
discussed this at length.
Sucks, I know, but there it is.
BTW, Bart, your description of Julie's conversational
style is dead-on. I can't count
the number of times I've had to ask her to run
something by me for the second, or tenth,
time, because she is just overflowing with information,
and everything comes at you at
one hundred miles an hour, and some of us card-carrying
AARP members can't always keep up.
I'm sending her a copy of your essay, "Courage",
although I must tell you that she does not
consider herself a hero. Julie said to me once
that she did not choose to do what she did;
she did not consider that she had a choice. When
she said that to me, I was reminded of
a book (I can't remember the title) of interviews
of people in different parts of Europe
who rescued Jews from the Nazis. When the author
of the book asked these people,
none of whom knew the others, why they had chosen
to do what they did, to a person
they answered that they had not chosen to help;
they never felt they had a choice.
I don't know if that's how you define courage, but I agree with you; she's the real deal.
