Quotes
"To hear Bush talk about it, he met Kenneth
Lay at a masquerade party and never
talked to him." -- Jon Stewart
A year ago, when U2
won a Grammy, Bono said
"We're re-applying for the job of
'biggest band in the world.'"
I think they got the job.
I know there are lots of U2
haters out there, but who can argue that
U2
is easily the biggest band in the world? Who would be considered
second?
U2
had a Zeppelin/Stones/Beatles kind of year ...and then 9-11 happened,
and all those emotional anthems took on a whole new meaning.
People gushed about their Super Bowl performance (for which they
weren't paid)
but it was just a tiny outtake from the much better, regular
show they put on in concert.
Of course, if you asked me which concert
I wanted to attend on a given night,
U2
and
Garbage,
I'd be at that Garbage
show before the "R" sound
left your mouth, but the boys still
put on a good show and they deserve their awards.

Michael
Moore/bin Laden Update
Click
Here to read a full report on his Daily Show bombshell
from my good friends at Buzzflash.com
Excerpt: Moore started on the Dick Cheney stonewalling
situation. "It's not the minutes of the
meetings about screwing California. It's
the meetings about the oil pipeline they had with
the Taliban…this was going on last August…"
Then Moore cited the New Yorker article
which questioned "why George Bush allowed the
private Saudi jet to fly to 5 American
cities to pick up 20 bin Laden family members" while
no one else could fly for 3 days and how
the FBI was upset because they couldn't interrogate
any of them. Then, a week later, the New
York Times reported on the Carlyle Group and the
ties to the bin Laden's and how they
put up the money for Bush's first company, Arbusto."

on The Daily Show.
This might be too big for dial-up, but it's real and it's right
there.
Special thanks to David
Perkins for taping this, converting it to QT and posting/hosting
this clip.
Lastly, Michael Moore may not be considered a Democrat's best
friend,
but anyone who'll get on TV and say what he said is a friend
of mine.
Now & then, you should click on David's Project
60 link.
He's done a ton of painstaking work to explain what yesterday's
heroes did for us.

February 27, 1942
The first major surface action of
the Pacific war , the Battle of the Java Sea, opened.
Dutch Admiral Karel Doorman, leading
a rag tag band of Allied warships attempted to
intercept the Japanese invasion
fleet heading for Java. At 1620, contact was made between
the two fleets. The Japanese fleet,
scored first, hitting the British cruiser Exeter with an 8-inch
shell.
She lost most of her power, and
was knocked out of the battle. The next catastrophe for the Allies
came when the Dutch destroyer Kortenaer
was hit midship by a torpedo, broke in half and sank.
Soon afterward, the British destroyer
Electra
was sunk by three Japanese destroyers.
Allied fire managed to damage the
Japanese Asagumo forcing her out of the battle. As dusk approached,
Doorman withdrew to regroup his
scattered fleet and attempt to swing around the Japanese screen to hit
the enemy transports. At 2125, the
British destroyer Jupiter struck a mine and blew up.
At 2300, the Japanese spotted Doorman’s
cruisers and succeeded in sinking Java and De Ruyter.
The Perth and Houston
withdrew to Batavia. The Japanese had won handily.
Think how terrifying it must've been to read the paper
each day,
worrying and hoping that our brave soldiers and sailors
would be able
to stop Japan and Germany from taking over the whole world.
A shot of Chinaco to those men, many of whom
never came home.
FOX has always been the class act of the network, right?
Today's USA Today says Fox is scheduling celebrity
boxing matches.
First up is Tanya Harding vs Amy Fisher.
Two criminal bitches (one tried murder) fighting for men's entertainment.
Way to go, Fox, you shameless gaggle of total and complete
whores.
Next up is a Patridge vs a Brady, like we give a flying
"F"
what they're up to.
Third up is Paula Jones, but they haven't found anyone
to fight her yet.
I, BartCop, (even tho I'm not a celebrity) volunteer to fight
Paula Jones.
I don't believe in hitting a woman, ...but in this case...

Quotes
"Mr. Lay doesn't deserve prison rape" -- another of Smirk's oil buddies, Jeff Skilling, trying
to get a skate
for "poor Kenny Boy," who's down
to his last $600 million.
"No doubt some other ex-Enron employees,
their life savings long gone, would disagree with Skilling. Or at
least think Lay deserves dinner and a movie first." -- Jake Tapper, in his excellent
report at Salon.com

allege abuse: Pedophile priests targeted girls, too
Excerpt: Buried under the avalanche of accusations
that Catholic priests have abused
hundreds of Massachusetts boys over a half-century
are an untold number of
cases of female victims whose lives were
also ripped apart by molesters in the clergy.
Perfect!
"We're not that weird - we rape girls,
too!"
Religion is always the problem.
...and when you write me to complain, please send a copy of the
letter you sent

the guilty exposed.

In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority
of all news media in the U.S.
At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist"
for pointing this out in his book,
The Media Monopoly. In his 4th edition,
published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S.,
fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures
own and operate 90% of
the mass media" -- controlling almost all of
America's newspapers, magazines, TV
and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos,
wire services and photo agencies.
He predicted then that eventually this number
would fall to about half a dozen companies.
This was greeted with skepticism at the time.
When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen
to six. Since then, there have been more mergers
and the scope has expanded to include new media
like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4
Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL
Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation.
