Excerpt: A third aspect of Bush’s business career
gives lie to the image he likes to present of
himself as a defender of people and property
against government encroachment. It also
exposes the uglier aspects of the one allegedly
successful Bush business venture — his
role in the enrichment of the Texas Rangers.
Bush initially borrowed $600,000 from a bank
where he had been a director, to cover
his 1.8 percent interest in the team. At the behest
of Bush and his fellow investors, state
authorities created the Arlington Sports Facilities
Development Authority, which was given
the power to expropriate some private land to
build the team a new stadium. When some
of the homeowners and farmers refused to sell
for the low prices being offered, the Authority
condemned their land and expropriated it by
force of law. It did this with 270 acres
of land, even though only about 17 acres were
needed for the ballpark. The rest was used
for commercial development that made Bush
and his friends rich.
A state judge eventually ruled that the
amount paid to the local homeowners had been well
under market value and a bit more
was paid in a settlement. But Bush apparently didn’t care.
The team got its new stadium and he walked
away with $15 million in his pocket. The entire
seamy story, however, as the authors point
out, gives the lie to Bush’s boast that he wants to
“do everything I can to defend the power
of private property and private property rights.”

Excerpt: In a short section of the video, Mr Cheney
says:
"I get good advice, if you will, from their
people, based upon how we are doing business and how we are operating,
over and above the normal, by-the-books auditing arrangement."
Boy, if we had a free press in this country,
think of the trouble Smirk n' Dick would be in.
Excerpt: "This is an incredible deal, unbelievable for
this small company," energy analyst
Charles Strain told Forbes magazine, describing
the oil production sharing
agreement the Harken Energy Corporation
signed in January 1990 with Bahrain.
I agree.
What are the odds than a tiny, bankrupt
never-heard-of-them Texas oil company
could land exclusive drilling rights to
an entire oil-rich, Arab country?
Oh, that's right - his name is Bush so it's
just a coincidence.
Bush
Family Treason Dubya's stash came from Jewish Holocaust Labor
Excerpt: If Ralph Nader's family had obtained great
wealth from a grandfather's work
on behalf of the Nazis would the media
remain quiet about it? The media's silence
on the subject of what Loftus-Aarons and
Tarpley-Chaitkin have written regarding
the Bush family dynasty speaks volumes
about the mainstream media's commitment
to protect the general public from tyranny
and oppression.
If
the President lies, and
the press does not report it, then
did he really lie?
Excerpt: However, the S.E.C. DID NOT--I repeat:
DID NOT--"clear" me.
They determined that I had in fact broken
the law FOUR TIMES. But they did not fine me or apply other
penalties.
Why is the American press propping up this Unelected Fraud?

Review
Inspirational!
It took me two weeks to write this review because
it was by no means easy
to digest what it was I saw. We have heard the
story of JHS and she is everything
and more what BARTCOP promised she was.
That much is obvious.
She is nothing special but at the same time everything
special. She said thank you
about a thousand times but it seems that
it is the rest of us that owes her.
Thank BARTCOP for making possible for her to
get at least a little portion of that.
The professional editing of the tape does not
obscure the "home movie" feel.
That's a good thing. Even when Joe Conason pulls
out his speaking notes there is no feeling
of a script in operation here. We also
hear from BARTCOP, BUZZFLASH, James Carville,
David Brock, BARTCOOK (cute gal that one), Christian
and some prominent BARTCOP readers.
There's a lot of emotion on this tape, and all
of it feels genuine.
That is the word I was looking for: genuine.
I don't see the slightest trace of "phony" anywhere.
These are people I would be glad to know.
It is also interesting to see highly recognizable media icons (
Carville & Conason specifically) away from
the over-polished world of pundit TV.
A collector's item.
There won't be a million of these tapes floating
around the world
so if you don't have one get one now.

Excerpt: A Pew Foundation poll found last week that
some 62% of Americans think
George W. Bush should be doing more to
help the economy. They should be
careful what they wish for. The folks currently
ripping the economy to shreds
with lies and shady accounting spring from
the same school of corporatist
business thinking that birthed Bush in
the first place. One should think twice
before sending a wolf to tend the sheep.
Excerpt: ...7,000 US soldiers arrived in Turkey
during the last two weeks....this number
will increase to 25,000 in July. ... 20,000
marines to Kuwait ...
And when the war is over, we'll have hundreds of dead American
soldiers and the
Bush Family Evil Empire will have the drilling rights
to go with their new Afghan pipeline
Doesn't
anybody care?
Bart,
you're hysterical! America
needs that oil for our SUVs. Stop
attacking our president, Bart! You're
not our kind of Democrat.
We've been thrown a curve.
Julie is unable to be in Las Vegas on September 28th.
I woke up in a sweat in the middle of the night.
I realized I was headlining in Las Vegas and I
don't even have an act!
Maybe lots of people have always wanted to be in this position,
but not me.
Dilemma: Not sure what to do...
Do we move forward with the Party
of the Year? Or do we bail and accept defeat?
Like with every tough decision, I decided to pray about it.
I told God I was at a croosroads and I asked Him to send me a
sign.
Please, God, send me a sign - tell me what to do!
Shall I lead my people into the desert?
Shall we seek the promised land?
Send me a sign, Oh, Lord!
When I got done praying, it was all very clear to me.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes this morning was
the date.
Today is 7-11.
What? It can't be!
Can it be?
That's it!
7-11!!!
God wants us to go to Las
Vegas and play craps! His will be done! Glory!
Note: God is never wrong!
Thank you, God, for helping me with that tough decision!
So, here's the plan: This party is going to happen.
If we end up with 20 people ready to party, we'll take over the
Pink
Taco or rent a bus and go to Area 51 or whatever the hell we
want to do.
If 50-100 people want to party, we'll need a room, but rooms
can be had.
In Las Vegas, you can do anything if you whip out the
plastic.
Just keep in mind that BartFest
won't have any speeches unless we snag
some celebrities, which is another reason to move forward. If
we cancelled,
I'd get a call the next day from Surprise Number One and
that
would kill me.
Instead of speeches, maybe after a few shots I'll do my impressions
- just kidding.
There are already too many people committed to think about turning
back.
Remember, you're making your own hotel reservations.
We may have some fine-tuning as we go, depending on the turnout,
but remember that it's Vegas that's the attraction, not
Ol' BartCop.
I'm not worth the $75 ticket price, but you won't ever forget
this trip.
One thing for sure - the video of Vegas will be much different
than the DC video.
I figure if nothing else, I'll wait until everyone is loopy and
then turn on the camera.
That way I can blackmail everyone and then quit my job.

It's my opinion that when you walk thru
the main doors for the first time, you will either use
the Lord's name in vain or you'll exclaim
a vulgarism that describes the marriage act.
Not only does this place have a lake
with Venice canals - the lake is on the second floor! Also home to the former future place

15. Food & Drink Sure, New York might have more

is located within a few miles
and they have everything. If you time it right, you might have
your meal prepared by Wolfgang

Enough
to Make a Cow Laugh by my good friend Gene Lyons
Excerpt: And who supervised the subsequent SEC probe
of Junior's Harken trades?
Why the sameTexas lawyer who'd put together
the deal that made him a minority owner
of the Texas Rangers baseball team. Starting
to sense a pattern here? Bush appointed his own attorney, Robert
W. Jordan, Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
Is this the best Gene Lyons column ever?
Don't pass this one up.
You got time for this column.
Sidebar: Gene Lyons is busting out all over.
As I write, he's negotiating a BIG-time
deal with some
national syndicators, to distribute his
column e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.
Excerpt: The fact of the matter is there are many,
many reasons to look into Bush's
corporate past. With all his talk about
"bringing honor and dignity back to
the White House," "Moral Clarity," "the
first MBA president," "the CEO
president," etc., do we have a leader who
measures up to his own standards?
Or are these just hollow words of a hollow
man.
The finger pointing to Clinton is growing
very tired.
When will this president take responsibility
for...ANYTHING?
They read it in Ulaanbaatar, possibly.
They read it in Monkey River.
They read it in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Subject: Hey Nevada, How
Do You Like Your Bush Now?
In the 2000 presidential election, Bush
promised the Nevada residents that he would
never ever approve of the dumping of nuclear
waste at Yucca Mountain. The voters of
Nevada believed Bush and happily gave him
their 4 electoral votes. And that was just
enough to get Bush appointed president
with a giant assist from 5 Supreme Court Justices.
OK, now I just want to ask the good Republicans
of Nevada, how do you like your Bush now?
With 48 continental states shipping their
nuclear waste to Nevada, Mr. Bush has succeeded in
putting approximately 200 million Americans
at risk, feeling the effects of a nuclear disaster as
the waste is transported thousands of miles
by rail and truck.
The terrorists are sitting there licking
their chops at the possibilities.
