Breaking News from NBC
Osama bin Laden called his mother two
days before the Sept. 11 terror attacks and told her,
"In two days you're going to hear big
news and you're not going to hear from me for a while,"
-- NBC News is
broadcasting.
I believe his mother lives in Boston.
Isn't it strange he'd hijack a plane from
his Mama's town?
I'll bet Mrs. bin Laden is more ashamed than Barbara Bush.

Bart just thinking
in the US navy when a Captain says "I relieve
you," on board a ship then from that moment on
he is responsible for every action that takes
place on board. This idea is the idea of RESPONSIBILTY.
If you attempt to place blame on the prior Commanding
Officer it just shows your lack of being able
to handle the job. Now if Bush is our commander
in chief, (he did relieve clinton) then how come he is
blaming everything on the past administration?
I guess he didn't learn anything from his hiding in the National Guard.
Karl Jordan
Karl, I agree.
Going AWOL didn't teach Usurper Boy anything but Spanish.
I just talked to Julie.
She said she had the best time last night.
She asked me to thank everyone who participated.

Subject: Chinaco question
Bartcop,
I received my issue of Outside magazine
this month with it's " best of " lists.
I saw tequila listed so I thumbed hurriedly to
the page and found.......that they listed Chinaco as the
best!
To my surprise though it was the Repasado
and not the Anejo.
I guess I'll just have to do some tastings for
further review. :>)
I've been enjoying the Anejo on
days when I'm not indulging in Grey Goose.
What is your opinion of the Repasado?
JB
JB, I don't think I've ever had any.
I bought a shot of the Blanco at a restaurant once and didn't like
it.
I'll try a shot Reposado if I can find it, but I won't buy a bottle
:)
...but anyone who says the Reposado is better than the Anejo needs to see a doctor.
Clinton Disbarred From Supreme Court
The Whore Court of partisan thugs opened
its new term Monday with a rebuke of
America's last elected president, suspending
him from practicing law before the justices.
Clinton was among 18 lawyers nationwide
who got the same discipline.
The justices gave Clinton 40 days to say
why he should not be permanently disbarred
from practicing law before them. A Clinton
lawyer said the former president would
argue that high court disbarment would
be inappropriate.
Wait, Bill, let me handle this for you:
Dear Partisan Whores,
I wouldn't stoop so low as to
practice before your nasty-asses.
You have proven again and again that
you are nothing but dirty whores for sale.
I have no desire to appear before cheap
partisan prostitutes who are wholly owned
by Ted Olson, Karl Rove and the Bush
Family Evil Empire.
Everyone knows impeachment was a never-ending
search inside my zipper and you
intentionally (and without regard to
the law or legal precedent) ruled for every wild-ass
crazy motion that Hardon Kenny filed
just so you could join in the GOP's Cock Hunt.
You have lost your standing with the
American people and cannot appear in public without
a battallion of bodyguards because your
glaring allegiance to Usurper Boy is appalling.
Anyone who had the slightest doubt about
your naked partisanship was set straight when
that thug Scalia ruled that counting
the Florida votes would cause harm to the Boy King.
Before you sons of bitches tossed the
Constitution, this was a nation where the voters got to
choose their leaders, but your insatiable
greed has turned a peaceful and prosperous nation
into a nation facing war and recession
- which is heartless Reagan-Bush voodoo all over again.
Tell me, did you buy short futures on America, just like bin Laden?
In short, I wear your condemnation as
a badge of honor.
You crooks were in on the fix from the
beginning, and America knows it.
Without respect,
William J. Clinton
America's last elected president

Subject: Re: Executive Order Suspends Due Process in Property Seizure
In response to the e-mail you posted from JSwandesh@aol.com
in Monday's issue:
Seizure and forfeiture of money and property
without due process have been carried out for years
in the War on Some Drugs. Now we have it
simply being extended to suspected terrorists.
I'm not saying it's right, because it isn't.
What I'm saying is: If our Congressmen were willing to trample the
Fifth Amendment (which they took an oath to uphold) in the War on Some
Drugs, it should not surprise us that they're willing to do so in the current
climate. As Americans, we've continued to elect people who care more
about their own popularity than they do about rights and freedoms.
Oftentimes, neither the Democrat nor the Republican candidate give a rat's
ass about our civil liberties.
It may sound trite, but we need to stop reelecting
these people!
Michael Gardner
Mike, we didn't elect Usurper Boy.
The whore court fixed the election and appointed the Constitution-trampling
moron
over the wishes of the American voters.
Does Robert Rubin read bartcop.com?
Or did he just borrow from The
BartCop Tax Plan?
Excerpt:
To increase demand, the most effective
measures would be tax rebates to
low and middle-income working people —
including those who pay Social
Security taxes but not income taxes — who
have the highest propensity to spend.
The propensity may be even greater in
the runup to Christmas.
My Plan:
>Rebate $1500 to every taxpayer two weeks before Thanksgiving.
>Rebate 10% of any income, for a total of $1500.
>Families with two workers could get $3000.
>If Dad, Mom and two teenagers are paying taxes on $15,000 or more,
>the family would get a rebate of $6,000 from the federal government.
>Every person with income qualifies.
>Retired people, people on Social Security - anybody with taxable income.
>What could be more fair?
>Think of the economic benefit.
>It would be the best Christmas ever for millions of families.
But the GOP doesn't like my plan because there's nothing in it for BIG OIL.

BC,
How about the grand hypocrisy of the US Supreme

Here we have a US governmental institution, who
through personal greed and corruption,
opted to destroy democracy in America, voting

in print.
Sometimes he'll send a half-dozen articles a day.
He puts out the equivalent of an issue a day,
so this way, they can all seen and read by dozens!
Welcome aboard, RB Ham!

but if anyone has some
good ideas about a new look for bartcop.com
send them in.
Don't get all fancy with tables and java
and every other damn thing I don't understand.
I'm just looking for some slick buttons
or whatever - can you help an old altarboy out?
If your send something, sent it as an attached

The job pays nothing, but it'll get you
a mention and maybe some paying customers
need a web page so this would be good advertising
for your design company.

Open Letter to Religio-Crazies
The next time you nutty bastards wants to make a political statement,
don't kidnap a planeload of innocents and murder everyone, OK?
I have an idea that will give you lots of TV coverage and maybe
even some sympathy.
Instead of murdering a bunch of women and children, why not have
a fellow religio-crazy
get a camcorder and follow you to Times Square where you can
douse yourself with gasoline
and your buddy can film your dying ass and the tape will make
the evening news, trust me.
Matter of fact, for guaranteed 24/7 cable-saturation, wear a sign
blaming Clinton.
O'Reilly and Hannity and every whore at
will run it non-stop for weeks.
...and if you find out you're a person short, since somebody needs
to work the camera and you'll
be busy dousing your soon-to-be-dead ass with gasoline, if you
need someone to flick the match
I have a feeling you can find plenty of volunteers on the streets
of New York.
...no need to thank me for the idea - it's a gift.

Hi--
Thanks.
Had a great time, til the kid's bath/hair-washing
routine intervened (a little past 10:30pm [cdt]
---quite accustomed to translating another time

Hope Julie wasn't too swamped with phrases, names & questions.
It was the most fun I've had on a Sunday evening
since I attended a mass-baptism in the
swimming pool at Pat Boone's house, back in '72.

Seriously.
(Pat was 'dis-fellowshipped' over it...but, as

all very new to me - then).
I had a great time (and Sunday evening has been redeemed, finally).

Speaking of Entertainment, I'll never catch up, so let me say this:
Enterprise looks like a winner. The premier was a solid
"good,"
which is for the best because they'll have a seven-year run.
Mrs. BartCop has never like Scott Bakula, but likes him in this.
Law and Order wasn't as good. The cast just seemed older,
and they had a dreadful show about dogs eating dogs.
And that new girl is no Angie Harmon.
Friends was actually funny - breaking the "had all summer"
curse.
CSI is always good, but I fell asleep during The
Agency (eyeache)
By the way, on ER, did they arrest Mark Green for murder
and throw his boring ass in jail?
Dark Angel is back, looking better than ever, but this
year she's chasing some
Republican-looking Cro-Mags which is really hard to watch - bad move,
Jimmy.
I liked Thieves. It's another Moonlighting,
which was good in its prime
We taped Pasadena, but they say it really blows.
One of the best shows is Alias, with that babe (Jennifer
Garner) in the red hair!
I missed the end, due to the JHS chat, but I saw that one part where
the bad guy was pulling her teeth out, trying to get her to tell a
secret,
then she pretended to break and said, "Ok,
I'll tell you who I work for.
The name of the organization is 'EMETIB,'
but you have to read it backwards."
ha ha
That's my girl! It's almost like they read bartcop.com
Critics say Alias is the best of the new shows, so check
it out.
Also, they had the balls to show it without commercials, (and at 69
minutes!)
That means ABC is behind the show 100 percent - and did I mention she
was a babe?
I asked Mrs. BartCop if she could buy a red wig like that and she threw
her shoe at me.
I'd better check out Marty's
Entertainment page and see what others are saying...

US denies commandos grabbed as covert "war" heats up
Excerpt:
George W. Bush said Saturday his country's
covert war in Afghanistan was heating up,
while US officials denied a report that
bin Laden's men had grabbed US commandos on a spy mission.
We can't trust the government to tell us about special forces casualties.
Excerpt:
The hyperventilated spin began the morning
after the attacks. To deflect criticism that the administration
had been without any commanding and reassuring
Giuliani-like voice for 10 hours, as the president and
other high- level officials scrambled around,
Karl Rove and Mr. Fleischer pushed the spurious and
elaborately embroidered stories that the
White House and Air Force One were also intended targets.
Such big, lame inventions undermine our trust, just as the Bush team starts to do a lot fast and in secret.
The chief of staff, Andy Card, has instructed
the whole White House to stop speaking to reporters,
so that the chosen few can spoon-feed the
press the image of an In-Charge, Focused, Resolute President.

Isn't that funny?
MoDo, acting like she's all about honesty and the truth?
Woman, you've been holding Smirk's spoon for two long years.

LEGAL TRANSLATION
OF SMIRK'S 9/23/01 EXECUTIVE ORDER
by Joe Weber, Esq.
BC,
Here's a rough translation:
With some exception, all property and interests
in property of the following persons that are
in the U.S. now or later or come into the possession
or control of U.S. persons are "blocked":
a) foreign persons listed in the "Annex" (list)
to this order (not included in your doc);
b) foreign persons determined by Colin Powell,
in consultation with Paul O'Neill and Asscroft,
to have committed or pose
a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the
security of U.S. nationals
or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the U.S.;
c) persons determined by O'Neill in consultation
with Powell and Asscroft to be owned or
controlled by or acting for
those on the "Annex list";
If anyone helps or the above-named THINK they
may be helping designated "bad guys", then their stuff
gets seized too. Anyone who does business, even
indirectly with bad guys is in trouble too. This means people
and business entities like corps and partnerships,
and includes donations. O'Neill in consultation with Powell and
Asscroft may take "other actions" just like the
President can, if "consistent with the national interests of the U.S..."
Powell and O'Neill should cooperate with other
countries in all this. O'Neill, in consultation with Powell and Asscroft,
can make up lots of regulations (with force of
law) to make this all happen. All government agencies gotta cooperate.
The government and the individuals involved in
all this are quite immune from most claims against them.
Because things move instantaneously and this is
a "national emergency",
the bad guys, or those deemed to be bad
guys, don't get notice before any seizure or control.
The problem: The definitions of "terrorist"
and "against U.S. interests" are so broad that anyone this crews
designates as a threat can have their assets
frozen or seized. Even though that person may be a U.S. citizen,
they are still subject to this order. Political
opponents, vocal minorities, and even Treehouse Owners could
be subject to this order.
-Joe Weber, Esq.
Costa Mesa, CA
Joe, thanks for that.
That's kinda what I thought it meant.
What
did the Republicans whine about
every time Bill Clinton used troops?
Reminder: Clinton never sent a
man into battle who didn't come home.
1. You need to have clearly defined goals.
2. You need to show us a beginning and an ending.
3. You must have an exit strategy.
4. You must display overwhelming force.
Do we see any of that in today's Bush bungling?
Powell: We will show you the evidence.
Bush: We will not - that's a secret.
Bush: We will destroy terra wherever
it is.
Powell: We are only looking
for bin Laden
So, ...all we're going to be told is:
That this will be damn expensive.
They can't tell us what the
Bush
Family Evil Empire is doing with our billions.
Don't expect any quick results.
Since it's so secret, THEY will
define victory, since only they know what they're doing.
Remember what Bush said in the big speech? "We will have
secret victories," which means
they'll claim, "We are winning," even when they're not.
I saw a headline Saturday:
"US in 'hot pursuit' of terrorists"
What does that mean?
What's the difference between "hot pursuit" and
"the
hunt continues?"
Meanwhile, Karl Rove is America's de facto news
editor, picking and choosing
which coverage is "patriotic" and which is "a comfort
to the enemy.".

I'll admit, I voted for him last time around,
I really thought he'd be a viable alternative to Gore
and that the elections wouldn't be so close.
Now, here we are in desperate need to confident leadership,
and the President has spoken, the Resident has
spoken, even the Big Dog has spoken.
But not a thing from the greens. Frankly,
I'm embarassed - and the Dems are starting to regain my confidence
in them (even though I'm not too pleased when
them giving Smirk a free pass in this crisis). Who knows?
There's still hope yet. But not a peep

I've gotten more literature from the Revolutionary
