3 years, Yahoo says there is no BartCop mail box,
so don't send anything there until they
manage to locate the damn thing. Send everything to bartcop@bartcop.com

That goes to bc_biz@yahoo.com

Quotes
"President Bush recently signed a bill making
Yucca Mountain the national dumping site for radioactive waste. It's about 70
miles north of Las Vegas. Tons of nuclear waste will be buried there. Yucca Mountain is
close to the Mustang Ranch brothel. How does that sound, radioactive hookers! You'll
definitely catch something! -- Leno
Excerpt: "No citizen shall be imprisoned or otherwise
detained by the United States except pursuant
to an Act of Congress. Congress passed
this law in 1971 in response to concerns the executive
branch could overstep its authority during
a national emergency and hold, without charge,
Americans deemed dangerous or disloyal.
So why are two Americans in that very predicament
today?"
Oklahoma
Football Scandal The whole state is shocked.
I don't have all the details, but three Oklahoma football players
were arrested
for "alcohol-related" crimes Wednesday night, probably in Norman.
From what I
know so far, the three were in a car, and the driver was clocked
going 30 in a 25 MPH zone!
Swear to Koresh!
This is not a BartCop gag!
But hold on, it gets worse.
The driver was tested and was found to have a blood alcohol content
of ......03! Do you know how serious that is?
Had he been four times drunker, he would've been charged with
driving while intoxicated. Oklahoma hasn't seen a scandal of this magnatude since the Switzer
glory days.
Will Coach Bob Stoops keep his job?
Are there other, undiscovered felons on the team, too?

Subject: Poll numbers on the
slide - START A WAR...
You know what is coming next. When the poll numbers
slide, start a war.
Look out Iraq. It won't be long now before Bush
starts beating the WAR DRUMS.
He may be Dumb as Hell, but he knows America
loves a good war.
You know his Daddy is advising him. Also Daddy
left the job unfinished.
And is advising Monkey Boy to go forward and
kick ass. You know he is telling him.
"Your poll numbers will go up and what's a
few 100 thousand lives on both sides."
Am I in
trouble? I'm not
a one-termer like my
loser daddy... ..am I?
"Bush Let
9/11 Happen" Says Gulf War Veteran saw it on bushoccupation.com
Excerpt: A brave Air Force veteran is making his
stand as an American, but the Bush administration is
trying to silence him. As Congress begins
its clandestine investigation into the catastrophe of 9/11,
few voices dare to speak truth to power.
This is no “conspiracy theory” or obscure source.
The AP, CNN, the New York Times and others
are reporting:
“An Air Force colonel has been suspended
for writing a letter in which he called
President Bush 'a joke' and accused him
of allowing the Sept. 11 attacks.”
Christian
Livemore, the brains behind bartcop.com
and the architect
of the wildly successful Juliefest2002-DC was no fan of
flying before 9-11.
She currently lives on the East Coast, which means she has quite
a drive to Vegas.
I told her a fifth of cheap vodka would work as a courage enhancer,
but she's not having
any of that, so she's going to get her kicks on Route
66, America's Mother Road.
Why do I bring this up? I've heard mummurs, maybe you have, too, that
is just for the elite.
This may surprise you, but I have an answer to that.
If you say
is only for the elite, because we all can't afford to go,
couldn't one logically extrapolate from that, that bartcop.com
is an "elitist web site,"
because not everyone can afford a personal computer in their
home?
So if there shouldn't be a
maybe there shouldn't be a bartcop.com See how crazy that sounds?
Sure, if you have kids or can't get time off work, that's understandable.
(Suggestion: Throw the kids in the car, but leave them
at Kingman Day Care Vegas is no place for small children - they might be forever
corrupted.) but if one really wanted to go to Vegas, one could probably
find a way.
Example: (all calculations are rough)
Four people get into a car in St Louis - that's 1600 miles one
way.
Getting 20 MPG, that's 160 gallons round trip, with each gallon
costing $1.50,
it comes out to $40 per person for the most memorable trip/week
you ever had.
The fresh air - the majestic mountains!
When you get to Vegas, Lady Luck weekend rooms are $55,
or $85 for 4 people.
So - a ticket is $75, gas is $40 and hotel is $25 per person
per night.
You sleep at Tucumcari, NM (stay at the Blue Swallow)
each way for $35 divided by 4.
The way I figure it, a five-hotel, three night stay in Vegas
comes to about
$230. Check my math, because I'm Catholic, but are you sure
you can't afford to go?
Chicago, Cleveland and Nantucket would cost a little more,
but Denver, Dallas and Portland would cost a little less.
You will never forget this weekend in Fabulous Las Vegas!

Subject: Enjoy this quote from
Salon
I know you hate Salon, but this quote from
yesterdays article
was just a little to choice not to pass
onto you:
> It is true that the stock market is not the economy. It is also obvious
that much
> of the corporate malfeasance that is currently being laid bare before
a disgusted
> public began occurring long before Bush became president. But such
caveats are
> becoming less and less helpful to the current administration, as
each new revelation
> of accounting fraud and each new slump in the Dow slam into their
predecessors
> like so many freight cars piling up against a suddenly stalled locomotive.
> At some point, one has to stop blaming the train wreck on the previous
conductor.
Actually, I don't hate Salon.
They employ one of the web's best writers, smoking Joe
Conason, and some other good writers,
and I'll admit it's possible they were hook-winked by the devious
and clumsy liar Jennifer Liberto.
Hi,
I'm Jennifer Liberto and I'll
do anything for a story...
True, I was disappointed in David Talbot's reply to my too-blistering-to-print-here
e-mail.
If I was Talbot and received the letter I sent, I think my first
reaction would be,
"About what can this crazy man be so
upset? We plugged his struggling, underdog web page, and he repays
us with an e-mail like this?"
I think a real journalist would've wondered what the story behind
the outrage was
but Talbot chose to call me a "mysogynist" and suggested I "clean
up my act."
(Good work, Dave.) so The BartCop Hex had to be thrown at them.
I wonder what Dave will do when they fold?
Maybe Wendy's is hiring?
The
US intends to block a UN vote on a plan to
enforce an international convention on torture
Excerpt: US qualms about the convention are said
to focus on language which could be
interpreted as allowing independent observers
to visit US prisons and terrorism
suspects being held by the US at its naval
base at Guantanamo Bay.
What is America so afraid of?
Why can't the B.F.E.E. allow neutral observers?
Iraq did, when they held our pilots in the Gulf War.
North Vietnam did when they were holding John McCain.
Why kinds of torture are those religious crazies going thru?
George Bush doesn't have as much honor as Iraq or North Vietnam?
What's up with that? America is being raped - hook,
line and sphincter.
I
can arrange a personal tour of
Gitmo for you, Funnyboy. Just
keep it up - you'll get a good
look at those conditions...
A
Time to 'Earn This' by Robert Parry August
9, 2001
Excerpt: While individuals have shown spunk in creating
aggressive new outlets, such as
smirkingchimp.com and mediawhoresonline.com,
the Web sites remain a proverbial
drop in the bucket when compared to the
size and sophistication of the conservative effort.
Wealthy liberals mostly have stayed on the
sidelines. After the election, Barbra Streisand
issued a manifesto calling for a Democratic-oriented
TV outlet to counter the conservative media.
Koresh! That sounds like BartCop
TV. Anyone know Streisand's phone number or e-mail?
If she'd agree to fund BartCop TV, I'd let her sing at BartFest

right away - fares are down
I'm flying R/T St. Louis to Las Vegas Friday
for a mere $109.00!
Using Worry Free Vacations Air Only package
and booked the Tropicana
for $79 Fri-Sat and $45 Sun-Mon.
These air only vacation packages are great!
Kinda cramped confines for the 3 hour flight,
but at $109...who cares!
They fly selected cities to Las Vegas and Cancun. If you
like to gamble on airfares,
you might get this $109 round trip fare, but you won't get it
until the Thursday before the gig.
Whoa! I just went there and saw this:
"Each week we feature $49 airfare with
a hotel purchase from at least one of our origin cities."
This week, they're doing $49
from Detroit and St Louis.
Check their website, then check it again for last-minute deals
as the date gets closer.
If they have room on the plane, they let you fly extra-cheap.
As a lifelong Catholic, I was shocked, then
hurt and finally disgusted
to learn that we parishioners who dutifully
drop coins and bills into the
collection basket every Sunday were basically
enabling pedophiles to
continue to shatter young lives (Sacrament
of Lies, April 17).
If the Pope wishes to get a part-time job
to fund damage suits and counseling
for victims and priests, then fine, but
until that happens, I shall hand over my
hard-earned 10 percent to worthy causes
instead of potentially criminal activities.

Subject: How do we know when
you are serious?
Bart,
You ripped on fruitbat for not understanding your
joke with the Pink Floyd lyrics.
How is anyone supposed to know when you are joking?
Is it only when you make threats of violence
and assasination?
So fruitbat didn't get the joke. You must understand,
anyone who is a burnout loser
from the 70's or hangs out within the BartCop
circle would know that it so,
but not the rest of us who have jobs.
Fake Name
Dear Fake,
I've been waiting years for somebody to ask that question.
If you can't tell the jokes from the real stuff, you're not paying
attention.
If you read, "Ashcroft called for the lynching
of black men in Alabama," you have to decide if he really did that or if it's a BartCop gag.
(In that case, he really did.)
If you read something on MWO or Buzzflash, you know
it's true,
but on this site, you have to do the work yourself - you have to think
about it.
Do you have trouble thinking about things?
Besides, Pink Floyd's The Wall is hardly some obscure album.
Maybe next time I should quote John Denver lyrics so you'd recognize
it?

Another little story to stoke that Vegas Fever
Vegas
Trip Report (saw it on the alt.vacations.las-vegas newsgroup)
Excerpt: I personally love staying at the Rio since
I have such good access to I-15.
I can get to other strip properties or
downtown faster than most people staying on the strip.
Rooms continue to be in the top 3 in Vegas,
behind only the Venetian and some Bellagio rooms.
Very large, with in room safes and refrigerators.
The reports we see in the american papers
are, in a word, pathetic.
Relying upon them, one might think that
Operation Anaconda was
a resounding success and that lasting peace
in Afghanistan is just a
few weeks away; The british press
tells us that Anaconda was a
complete and utter goat-fuck; discounting
their grumpiness over
having squandered the empire, we may reasonably
conclude that
pacification works as well in south-west
Asia as well as it did in
south-east Asia forty years ago.
Which is to ignore all the other idiocies
of the Smirking Chimp,
but there are only so many hours in one
day.

We may be forced to endure 6 more years of never-elected,

Me? I have a good time every day, but I always have a great time

The pool of Democratic heroes has been cut short by Republican
gunfire...
We can't invite President Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy or Martin Luther

The party's on either way, but we have to know how big a room
to buy.
If we only get sixty people, maybe we'll rent ten limos &
party on the go!
