Guess
who got married? Shelly Bowen!
A

When
Ashcroft, Ken Starr and the Whore Court get together,
who
needs anything as cumbersome as a Constitution?
Scary-as-Koresh excerpt:
According to Starr, five justices of the
U.S. Supreme Court have signaled that they would give
"heightened deference to the judgments of the
political branches with respect to matters of national security,"
and thus, would be willing to bend the
constitutional rules in a case involving terrorism.
I wonder if that's like the "heightened deference" they gave to the GOP candidate for president?
Starr's comments provide encouragement to
the Department of Justice, which, according to the
Post, is reportedly contemplating the use
of "drugs or pressure tactics" when terrorism suspects
refuse to speak, or "extraditing the suspects
to allied countries where security services
sometimes employ threats to family members
or resort to torture."
Threats to family members?
Torture?
You can tell the GOP is back in charge.
Attorney General John Ashcroft echoed this sentiment during a recent appearance on ABC's "Nightline."
Perfect!

Subject: Re: 23K retirement becomes 16K
Sounds like you need to diversify, although you
said that was only one of you retirement accounts
(I assume you have more and they've survived,
because you've not mentioned them).
Second question is, is this account an IRA or
a 401(k) with an employer contribution?
If it's the latter, you're actually ahead (depending
on what the employer contribution totals).
Once again, my poor writing skills have forced you to make a mistake.
Without your letter, people might think I picked poor investments and
that's
why the value of that account has dropped by a third under Weak &
Stupid.
Not the case.
That money is diversified into three sections:
Blue Chip funds, Strategery/Agressive funds, and I forget the other
third.
But the point is those are broad-based mutual funds that got hurt under
Trickledown voodoo.
The super-rich have made money since The Florida Theft,
and the working families have taken the hit for it.
...and what the hell was your last sentence supposed to actually say?
Losing a third actually puts me ahead?
You see?
That's the problem.
You're a Republican and that's how you guys think.
You think the more money I don't have, the better off I am.
Clinton tripled the stock market, and Bush steals a third of my money.
Both of those computations have 3's in them, but I like Clinton's better.
Follow what leader?

Quotes
"Former Vice President Al Gore surfaced
recently giving a speech
declaring that George W. Bush
is his "Commander in Chief".
The irony is - had Mr. Gore made
the same statement about President
Clinton during the 2000 election
- Gore would be Commander in Chief today.
Enjoy being your own man, Al."

Meditations
on Jingoism, Jihad and Dunkin' Donuts
by Christian Livemore
Excerpt:
The attacks have affected us all in different
ways. One of the things that
disturbs me most, though, is the increased
marginalization of peoples’
opinions and their unwillingness to admit
that any others have merit.
Friendships are being destroyed over it.
Some of us are waving flags madly,
and if some others of us are not, we are
condemned for being unpatriotic,
rather than because we maybe just find
all the flag-waving a little jingoistic.
Maybe
Tom Delay is right
We don't need professionals screening carry-on bags at airports.
We just need minimum-wage morons - warm bodies - that's all.
In Chicago, some dude from Napal got past security with SEVEN knives, a stun gun and a can of Mace.
Delay doesn't want professionals manning those X-ray machines
because he's afraid
they might vote Democrat, so he's risking the lives of the passengers
to prevent the possibility
that the screeners might not vote for his crooked and evil party
of the super-rich.
Has the GOP ever put the interests of Americams before their power-hungry party?
Has Larry
Klayman turned half-sane?

Subject: "a lot of people who don't want to see the message Uprising is sending"
Why is it that we rightfully celebrate Jewish
resistance to Nazi occupation of Poland
and simultaneously criticize, in the strongest
of terms, Palestinian resistance to Zionist
occupation of their homes and lands?
One is called heroism and freedom fighting while
the other is terrorism.
Hypocrisy anyone?
G
G,
I'm no expert, but I'm certain that Israel has never rounded up millions
of Palestinians
with the intention of putting them in ovens in an effort to eradicate
their race.
...and I've never heard a Jew say "Death to
all Palestinians,"
but Palestinians say "Death to all Jews"
constantly.
Having said that, there is a point there, somewhere.
I heard Manachem Begin declare he was a terrorist, but I don't know
why.
Sticking a fork in the neck of a soldier occupying your town isn't being
a terrorist, it's fighting for your land.
But blowing up a bus of shoppers is pure terror, so no telling what
Begin meant to say.

Subject: Your hypocrisy
You make the common mistake of suggesting that
because of Nazi/German/European attrocities;
Jews are, for all time, allowed to be special
people who are above the laws, ethics and morality
that apply to everyone else.
While they are not rounding up Palestinians to put them in ovens,
they are clearly attempting a "final solution"
to their "Palestinian problem".
There is nothing close to military equality between
Israel and Palestine. Fringe Palestinians can
talk about "death to Jews" all day long - they
can't make it true. German nationals were not moved
into the Warsaw ghetto to create "facts on the
ground".
Like I said - hypocrisy anyone?
G
G, since this is America, you're free to hate the Jews as much as you
want.
Your feelings seem to run very deep, trying so hard to make the Jews
"just like" the Nazis.
You have failed to make your case that Jews "are above the laws, ethics
and morality" of others.
Your "final solution" comments are groundless, since Israel has the
power to destroy every neighbor
it has and nobody on the planet could stop them if they were so inclined.
Everyone (besides Bush) knows more about the Middle East than me, but
I see Israeli "abuses"
as being defensive in nature. ...can't say that about the Nazis.

I've watched the pilot FOUR TIMES already.
You can't ask for a better opening chapter.
This is one lean thriller. The suspense

First,
the Bad News, then ... the Bad News
by Eric Margolis
Excerpt:
Like the CIA's unbroken record of bloody
fiascos in Iraq, this amateurish venture also failed disastrously.
Forewarned by sympathizers in Peshawar,
the Taliban surrounded Haq's party. Haq, who had lost a
foot to a Soviet mine, tried to flee on
horseback. The CIA bungled an attempt to rescue him, though two
of its agents who had been with with Haq
managed to escape on U.S. helicopters. My old friend was
captured and summarily executed by the
Taliban as a warning to any potential defectors.
The life of one of the heroes of the great
jihad against Soviet oppression was thus thrown away in a
botched, amateur mission in an unnecessary
war. Another CIA "expendable asset" had been expended.
A quick "Blow me" to Injustice Scalia, the feckless thug,
and the simpering wimp that some call the President of the United
States.
I got a summary from the accountant yesterday.
One of our retirement accounts had a value of 23K this time last
year.
But a year later, after Weak and Stupid destroyed America's economy,
that account is only worth 16K.
Hey, Smirk!
To get your precious tax cut to the super-rich, you wiped out
one
third
of our retirement account, you thieving son of a bitch.
If Gore hadn't been such an idiot, disowning the best politician
in history,
America's favorite son, and losing to the most worthless manchild
in America,
that 23K might've gotten fatter instead of getting cut
down 30 percent.
...all because Tipper was so terribly, personally hurt over the Monica mess.

For wonderful causes, too, that I wish I could support.
But your web site is an anchor of my day,

entertainment). Brian
Hammer on!
Thanks for all your hard work. Anne

Does anybody know why Rush is dishonoring
Chrissie Hynde's reputation...
...by using one of her songs as his program
theme?
I can't imagine her agreeing with Rush on
anything!
EF, there's a good story there. Here's how I remember it.
Two or three years ago, the subject came up about Chrissie's song,
My
City was Gone.
Rush's people told him he couldn't use the song without her permission
or he'd have to
pay a royalty each time he played it times the number of listeners.
So, Rush started using whatever song Clark Howard now uses by
the Fine Young Cannibals.
This went on for a month or so, then Rush heard an interview
Chrissie did with a NY radio station.
Rush got the interview and played part of it on his show.
When she was asked if she stopped Rush Limbaugh from playing her
song, and she said,
"Rush Limbaugh? Isn't he that
Nazi guy on the radio?"
ha ha
Rush played that on his Nazi hate show!
Chrissie went on to say, "I don't care
who uses my music,"
which Rush took at face value so he started using it again.

Dear BartCop,
I was getting ready to send you a donation, but
then you said to bet on Oklahoma over Nebraska.
I thought I could take that to the bank.
I even found a bookie who gave me nine points!
But then you know what happened.
Then you kept harping on how the Yankees were
going to win the World Series again because it was fixed.
If it's fixed, how I could I lose?
But I did.
Now I have no money to send you.

Dear Mr. MSNBC ombudsman,
The news media picked Bush as president and served
to ram him in office despite the vote of the people.
You made your bed in undermining democracy in
the first place. I say - sleep in it.
We sacrificed our liberties on December 12th 2000
- way before the recent (fabricated) attack which was
a front to suspend our liberties. I see you personally
as ombudsman of MS(Microsoft)NBC as having a
personal hand in slanting the news in favor of

Subject: Genuine "Legitimacy"
This regards the latest propaganda wave making
the rounds of the media outlets, to the effect that
nobody cares anymore about the 2000 Selection,
that Shrub is accepted by all, and that everybody's
glad he is the one in the chair:
Uh, no.
Throughout the past year, when the media-ho(s)
were telling us to "get over it" and to "move on"
and then slurring us for being obstinant or die-hard,
I didn't get over it, but sometimes wondered
whether not-moving-on was after all not natural.
No.
Besides Dr LAURAsevic telling her followers that
FORGIVENESS is NOT automatic,
that the wrong-doers need to ACKNOWLEDGE the
wrong AND show remorse AND
do something to REPAIR the damage BEFORE forgiveness
(moving on) is even ON THE TABLE
-----last week the History Channel's History
of Britain covered Charles I, who had closed down
Parliament for more than a decade because they
were airing certain grievances, and when he opened it
up again he thought things had been going better
and those grievances were IN THE PAST.
Nope.
When they convened, they PICKED UP WHERE THEY HAD LEFT OFF 11 yrs before. So, hey, ....
It is the wingnuts who keep bringing up the word
"legitimacy," claiming that this or that event has NOW
bestowed LEGITIMACY on Shrub. SCOTUS did what
it did and it sealed that issue back then for
what it was worth. But for Shrub to earn genuine
& authentic SUPPORT, he might do something
of integrity LIKE THIS: Announce that there
might have been some anomaly in the 2000 Selection,
that to set things right and RENEW the sanctity
of our electoral processes he will NOT RUN for a
second term, will focus on cleaning up the mess
of this term, and will NOT push through the extra items
from the right-wing agenda, only the needed legislation
for cleaning up the current mess.
Now THAT would be real patriotism and would bring
him whole-hearted SUPPORT.
Forget "legitimacy."
