"As the United States works to bring peace
around the world our diplomats and/or soldiers can be drug into the
court. That's very troubling." --
President Monkeyboy, who thinks "drug" is the past tense form of
"drag",
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 2, 2002
Excerpt: "A lot has changed since Bush stole the election,"
says Bernhardt. "The underbelly of corruption
has been exposed and we're seeing the last
vestiges of the white man holding on to politics and
big business. It's all coming out now.
And I don't think it's a coincidence." Not surprisingly the
political animal in Bernhard has found
prey in President Bush and his friends in power - whom she
likens to alien lizards. "Of course I'm
concerned," she says. "The infrastructure of America and the
world is caving in, and George Bush is
a figurehead of that. I don't think he's an informed person,
or intelligent, or interesting. I think
he got waylaid into the job by his family, he's in over his head,
and he's kind of a dunce."
Excerpt: The fact remains that so far at least five
members of that theoretically tiny club
have direct ties to the Bush administration:
Enron, Halliburton, Andersen, KMPG
and Merrill Lynch — the last three all
former clients of the president's choice as
Wall Street's top cop, the S.E.C. chairman
Harvey Pitt. Five for 15: Mr. Bush
could have used a batting average that
high when he ran the Texas Rangers.
Subject: Tim McVeigh an
Atheist? What th--!
Hello again Bart,
I think I can help you out here, re Paul
Begala's ridiculous contention that the
"The terrorists who blew up the Oklahoma
City building were atheists."
I can't speak for Michael Fortier, but in
Tim McVeigh's case, uh, gee, Mister Begala,
since when do atheists request that last
rites be administered to them at the time of their death?
Prison officials offered them and Tim accepted;
they were delivered by Prison Chaplain
Frank Roof, they were the Roman Catholic
sacrament of Last Rites.

ps: I agree, this Newdow fella was amazingly
cool under fire. Poised, witty, incisive,
logical, cheerful, thrifty, brave, knocked
my socks off. I'm IMPRESSED!
Chris, you are correct!
I think Begala just made a mistake, and didn't deliberately lie
in the name of religioun.
Religion can make a very good man say/do bad things.
Dubya
losing the benefit of the doubt Moratorium on Bush-bashing is over
Excerpt: Bush's approval rating has fallen steadily
from 88% to a still-impressive 70%,
while polls show Americans are now worrying
far more about the rattled economy
than the possibility of a terrorist attack.
It remains to be seen how Bush's once-reassuring
tagline as America's "first MBA president"
will sound after more and more of his CEO pals
are dragged off in shackles for the mammoth
accounting cover-ups that have been battering
the stock market almost every day.

To get chips, you go to the Wall Street bankers. Surrounding
the building, they have
NY-style water boats and tugs spraying water. They have their
own Brooklyn Bridge!
You'll find another roller coaster here, the own Gil Grissom
rides to de-stress on C.S.I. Their Soho Village is jammed with places to shop. The
Times Square Bar is worth a look.
While you gals watch Michael Flatly's Riverdance show,
the guys can check out the hogs
at the Las Vegas Harley Davidson outlet, or catch the
Rita
Rudner show live.
When you're eating in The Village, you'll think you're
in New York because that
roller coaster Grisson rides flies over your head, reminding
you of a subway swooshing by.
And just to make you feel at home, they have obscenities spray
painted on the walls.

When Bill Clinton fudged his answers in the sex inquisition,
the GOP and their whore press called it Crime of the Century.
But when Never-Elected lied about "Ken

and said,
"George Bush is a good and honorable

Does
Paul Begala read bartcop.com? I know he reads MWO, but maybe he caught Friday's bartcop.com
before his 7PM taping.
I saw an "all new" Paul Begala Friday.
Sidebar: I've never seen this happen before.
Carville was there for the first 2/3 of the show,
but then he left, and Paul Begala came
out to argue the "under God," thing again.
It was almost as tho Carville didn't want
to get into it.
But this time, ...Begala seems to be ...AGAINST ruling that those
words were unconstitutional.
This time, he's talking like a Democrat, instead of agreeing
with Satan's own Bob Novak.

Subject: The Pledge, BartBlocks,
and Bigotry
Bart-

Well, wait a minute. There's no need to
build a new BartBlock or make the other BartBlock
secondary because, when you come right down to
it, this Pledge issue is just another side of
the same old Block. And that block is the
fight against Bigotry.
That's essentially what the fight for equal rights
and justice for all is: A fight against bigotry.
Let's review our progress. Which bigotries
have we vanquished? Well, we've come a long way
on women, blacks, and other minorities.
Most people won't openly express their bigotted feelings
towards these groups, and -- thanks to 50 years
of liberals busting their asses -- the law does a lot
to protect them. We've managed, particularly
in the last 10 years, to beat back a lot of the anti-gay
bigots as well, although thanks to the religious
right we still have our work cut out.
Faith-on-Faith bigotry is WAY down.
Hell, these days it's like we've got an inter-faith
love fest on our hands.
So what's the Last Truly Acceptable Bigotry in
America?
Easy: It is the bigotry of the religious
majority towards non-believers.
Atheists, Agnostics, Rationalists, Humanists --
whatever label we choose to go by -- are not even
on the political radar as a group deserving of
respect or attention. Politicians can diss us with impugnity.
The Right makes no bones that we're second-class
citizens, and the Center and even the Center-Left
thinks we're making a Big Deal out of nothing
when we raise a fuss about issues like the pledge.
Non-believers, it appears, are just a pesky nuisance.
So our government excludes us. So what?
I can almost hear Paul Begala saying "Come
on! What's so bad about that seat at the back of the bus?"
Bigotry and prejudice take many forms. Their
names are legion. That the overwhelming majority of
Americans can not see anything wrong with "Under
God" in the Pledge of Allegiance shows how
incredibly far non-believers have to go before
we are allowed our rightful place at the table of democracy.
Excerpt: "Those corporate rogues who cook their books,
bleed their companies,
overreport their earnings and speak with
forked tongues to investing clients
are paid astronomical salaries, which never
seem to be enough. They are also
the kind of people Bush has hung out with
all his life. They are the people who
feel that government agencies such as the
Federal Election Commission should
subvert in any way they can legislation
such as McCain-Feingold -- a bill Bush
signed into law in stealth lest anyone
imagine he approved of it."

Subject: My father
Dear Bart:
My father, George Parrish, was a ball-turret
gunner in WW2.
He turned me on to BC a few months ago and I
must admit I'm hooked
(actually hypnotized by the moving Ashcroft eyes
would be more appropriate)
and I check your site each day to see what's
up.
Dad stopped breathing and was admitted to the
local hospital a few weeks ago
and the doctors were trying to determine if he
was still functioning neurologically.
Unable to speak because of a ventilator tube
and under sedation, the only way to
communicate with him was to ask simple yes or
no questions. The ICU doctor was
performing a few basics tests when I hit upon
an idea that would ensure that pop was ok.
"Dad?" I asked as I leaned in close to
him, "Is George Bush a son-of-a-bitch?"
He nodded his head up and down in the affirmative
and the physician and I shared
a good laugh and we knew that he was functioning
ok.
Sadly, I must report that he passed away on June
28th and will no longer be among your loyal fans.
He did enjoy your website and I'd like to say
"thanks" for making him laugh.
Sincerely,
Scott
Scott, thanks for sending that.
