Quotes
"Paul O'Neill opened the economic summit by
saying the whole idea behind the forum
was to hear from the everyday worker
on the street. If that was his goal, why didn't they
hold the summit from the Waco unemployment
office?"
--Chuck
Gardner, Crossfire e-mail
Did Evade Income Taxes on his Harken Loans?
Excerpt:
George W. Bush's questionable activities
and profits during his years as a director of Harken
have come under scrutiny from the media.
Mr. Bush has thus far avoided responsibility, thanks
to a compromised investigation by the SEC
during his father's presidency, as well as Bush's
stubborn refusal to provide details of
those deals.
But an investigation by Democrats.com has
uncovered the possibility that one Harken transaction
- the cancellation of an estimated $230,375
in debt in 1993 - may have been structured to help
Bush evade income taxes. Democrats.com
therefore calls upon Mr. Bush to release his tax returns
for 1993 and 1994, and to provide the other
documents required to fully understand this shady deal.
Bush
voter gets 19 years
Fake anthrax mailer says "no remorse"
Terrorist waits for Bush pardon
Excerpt:
A man who admitted mailing fake anthrax
letters to abortion clinics was sentenced
Thursday to 19 years and seven months in
prison on firearms and theft charges.
"I'm not remorseful," said the Republican.
"I'm not begging for forgiveness for what
I did, because I thought it was right."
Bush
defies belief
Weak, lazy, crooked and stupid
Excerpt:
"The world's largest Baptist university was both
an appropriate and unfortunate location for the
Bush administration to pick for this week's
summit on the US economy. To his detractors,
the choice of Baylor University in Waco,
Texas - half an hour's drive from Bush's Crawford ranch
- reinforces the image of a president too
lazy to stray far from his holiday home even for a serious
issue such as the economic situation.
Subject: Michael Moore
Moore did make a big mistake in supporting Nader.
For that he is due some criticism.
If you read his book you will find that he argued
with Nader, and finally broke with Nader
over Nader's insistant policy of campaigning
in swing states like Florida, which was the
most descructive aspect of Nader's campaign.
During the recount Moore was in Florida fighting
as hard as anyone for Gore (if anyone was
fighting for Gore). Moore isn't perfect, but
he has a keen sense for important issues passed over
by mainstream media and has a way of presenting
them bluntly and, as you do, with humor.
Charles
Charles, point me to a URL where Moore says "I
made a mistake," and I'll go easy on him.
He doesn't have to use that exact language, but "Let's
move on," doesn't do the trick.
I admit, I can't tell the diff between a Green, Nader, Donahue and Moore.
All I know is they all scream "Bush &
Gore are identical twins!!!" which is horseshit,
and I get very angry when I hear "...and we'll
do it again in 2004!!"
If Moore has repented, please show me proof.
President Drops in on President's Forum
Excerpt:
Baylor University's proximity to Crawford
made it convenient for George W. Bush
to take a break from his grueling vacation
schedule to make a brief appearance
at The President's Economic Forum.
Subject: question
Is BartFest a casual affair?
When its 100+ I wear shorts!
Thanks,
Adam
Adam, good question, but wrong assumption. Sure, it was 109
in Las Vegas today,
but that's why we're having the big Fest in late September instead
of mid-August.
You might bring shorts, but bring real pants, too.
Yes, this is very, very casual dress.

"You know, we don't need dictators in
this country."

Subject: Bush's reasons
BC -
For quite a while now (as in: ever since he said
he wanted to invade Iraq),
I've thought that the reason W wants to invade
is to save his father's "face."
Back during the Gulf War, many people wanted
Bush the elder to order troops
to push on to Baghdad and oust Saddam.
I thought he was right not to do so then
and I haven't changed that opinion. Many
people disagreed with that decision.
Hindsight shows us that Saddam didn't lose control
over the country as many hoped.
With Saddam still in power, the elder Bush has
lost face - is his son trying to regain it?
So, what do we really have here? Why do
the majority of the American
people want to invade Iraq? Is this a nation-wide
face-saving measure?
Are they looking for a finish to the Gulf War
that they view as incomplete
because Saddam wasn't toppled? Or are they just
lemmings following the
George W rush to the sea?
Mary Beth
Mary Beth,
I don't think we should've gone house-to-house looking for Saddam in
Baghdad,
but we damn sure could've caused him more damage than we did.
Now Dim Son is here to clean up his daddy's bungle.

Note from Tamara Baker on the "Summary Executions" story
The
Past Is Prologue
by Chris Floyd
Example:
The family of Frank Olson laid his exhumed
remains to rest, closing the book on their half-century
of struggle to find out why he died so
violently at the hands of the government he had served -- and w
hose deepest secrets he had guarded. Frank's
son, Eric, believes he knows the answer now: His father
was murdered to keep the thread from sight,
to "protect" the American people from the knowledge that
their own government had taken up and extended
Nazi experiments on mind control, psychological torture
and chemical warfare -- and that it was
conducting
these experiments as the Nazis did, on unwilling subjects,
on captives and "expendables," even to the point
of "termination."

No, you putz, I didn't say *never*.
I meant in regards to your caption under the
pic which
was taken at the moment he mentioned Gore.
Jerry K was right.
And I'm beginning to believe that IQ of 64 thingy
you keep saying about yourself.
Fake name
Fake,
believe the IQ of 64 thing...
Heston says that every year, and he changes the name to
whichever Democrat he thinks will make them the most money.
Why are you so adamant that the photo was Gore's year?
Besides, I've had that picture for years.
With Clinton president, (and he's the best fund raiser the NRA's ever
had)
why would Heston bother to mention Clinton's VP?
Admit it, you're wrong.
Molly on Smirk's Handjob in Waco
Excerpt:
Such attention to the details of stagecraft
-- the lovely flag painting behind them at the plenary session,
the helpful hints on the backdrops: "Corporate
Responsibility," "Better Health Care," etc., for those too
dumb to figure it out from the vapid speeches.
The wonderfully artificial inclusion of "real people" -- all of
whom just happen to think George W. Bush
is divine. This Potemkin Village of diversity lacked just one
thing -- anyone with a good idea. Any 10
ex-employees of Enron could come up with a long list of
recommendations on how to fix things so
this doesn't happen again. But they weren't invited.
Arianna on Smirk's Handjob in Waco
Excerpt:
At the behest of their charismatic leader,
the cult members gathered in Waco, a hot, dusty town on the
flat, featureless central Texas plain.
They had been summoned to hear an endless series of droning
sermons from the leader himself and his
fellow fanatics.
Thunderously denouncing all doubters, all
those who didn't believe as the cult members did, the speakers
put forward a bizarre religious vision,
one that no sane person could accept. As the hours passed, the group
became more and more isolated from the
real world until it was incapable of dealing with it.
The only thing missing was Janet Reno and her flamethrower.
Are Democrats and Republicans the same?
There's one site that sees a damned big difference.

Quotes
"Bush killed emergency health tracking funds
for rescue and recovery workers at ground zero,
and emergency medical care for veterans.
The firefighters and the American Legion are crying foul.
White House aides know that the rescue
workers and veterans, while heroes, don't live in a key
swing state. Sorry guys, you don't
get their money."

Dear Bart:
I enjoy your site and sometimes LOL.
I did order the JulieFest tape and threw a little
cash your way to say thank you.
My Sweetheart and I watched the tape and it was
touching and Julie and her supporters were inspiring.
My Sweetheart and I are thinking about Vegas
but a few concerns keep us on the fence.
We are lesbians of color and the group at Juliefest
was, well-- melanin-challenged. Race may be a
granfalloon, and maybe our real connection is
our communal outrage at the perversion of our democracy
illegally occupying the WH--but well, we're tired
of being the only people of color in a group.
We are in that position enough because of our
work--it's just tiring to do it socially as well.
I hope you can get some small sense what that
feels like.
Keep fighting the good fight. We may still see
you in Vegas.
Good luck!
GC
GC,
Being a liberal in Oklahoma, I know the alone
feeling very well.
Holy Koresh, in Oklahoma you can even be Jim
Inhofe and win an election.
Since most of my contact with readers is thru
e-mail, I don't really know who I'm reaching.
When people write to say they're coming, we don't
ask about color or sexual orientation.
If you were going to be in a group, I can't imagine
a more accepting group than the readers of bartcop.com
Plus, in Las Vegas, if your credit card is valid,
they treat you like royalty. Vegas is almost like New York
or San Francisco in it's diversity. There are
people from all over the world in Vegas, and the casinos want
your money no matter who/what you are. It's the
most non-descriminating place I've ever been.
People of color and people of gay have signed
up for BartFest, so I think you'll be OK.
I say it's worth the gamble.
You can feel comfortable in a room full of intelligent liberals, and
myself.

Subject: Attention Democrats in Washington, come back to the left
I'm so sick of Democrat loyalist who keep pointing
the finger at the
Green Party for being the spoiler that gave Bush
the presidency.
Listen up you think headed, stupid sheep, BUSH
CHEATED!
Stop blaming people like Nader and Michael Moore!!!!
Think headed?
That's a terrible thing to call somebody.
If you have trouble with math, I can forgive you, but Bush was able
to steal it
because Nader had a big ego and campaigned in states like Florida.
Don't deny the facts.
Furthermore, you keep talking about Clinton like
he was some God.
The same corrupt, corporate bull shit we're seeing
now was going on when
Clinton was getting his xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx, it's
just that nobody was getting caught.
Clinton didn't commit any crimes - he didn't steal 5 trillion dollars.
He worked 80 hour weeks and he protected America, too.
He did a great job as president, but if you like Bush better, vote
Green in November.
And then there is Gore. This man won the Presidency,
but he wasn't bold enough
to stand up to Bush and his corporate bullies.
What kind of leader is that?
If I was Gore, I would have fighting all the
way into the White House.
See? You are capable of making sense when you try.
You have Joe Liberman saying Gore was too left-wing
during his campaign, and people like Bartcop
who continue to bash Greens, further distancing
people like me from the Dem party.
I drove you into Bush's arms?
You're a fickle bitch, you know that?
All this finger pointing at the Green Party by
Democrats only makes me want to do one thing,
and that is to vote for a third party in 2004
just to say, FUCK YOU...have Bush for another round.
Pissed off Earthling.
Yeah, just like you did in 2000.
Since only 3 percent think like you, you want to play spoiler and reward
Bush.
That makes you insane, pulling for Bush.

Excerpt:
Aggressor or not, here we come. What
is the world community going to do, try us in their international court?
We scale a brick at their international
court! Right through yonder window. The American economy is
in a
shambles and the shambles is on fire; our
personal liberties are eroding like a tooth in a vat of sulfuric acid
and corn syrup; we are angry, and everybody
knows about the angry American. When he's angry, the
bombers start blackening the sky, headed
for the darkies (or is it the other way around? It1s so hard to tell
these days.) War distracts the man
in the street. It points his anger over there, where the towel heads
live in
their caves or crouched under oil derricks,
whetting their shivs. Abraham's god had three children,
and it's the colored one we're after.

BartFest2002 - Party of the Year
Make your own hotel reservations.
The dice have been rolled!
There is a misconception about the August 15 deadline.
That was NOT the last day you can buy tickets.
Tickets will be available until the night of the party.
At this point, it would help to know if you're a "maybe."
We do not have any news, but that could change any minute.
As I always do when I'm in a panic, I asked the Magic
8-Ball for guidance.
I asked, "We we get our special guest
stars for Bartfest?" and the answer was a clear "Yes."
None of that "All signs point to yes,"
horse
hockey, so I'm very hopeful.
I made a looooooooooooot of money in college by
being patient, so I think this will turn out OK.
...it's so exciting!!!
I'm content to let things happen - yeah, that's the ticket
This is the biggest gamble I've taken since I debated The Bird
in the chat room (cough)
...and we're doing it in Las Vegas, the most exciting
city in the world!
ha ha
One other thing?
Swear to Koresh, the last two sign ups were NOT from California,
not Arizona, not Utah,
not New Mexico or Oregon - they were George in Maine
and
Larry in Carolina.
They're flying 3,000 miles to party with us, but California is
woefully under-represented.
It's very odd - maybe California is mostly Bush fans?
...we are out on a limb, ...but it's
so exciting!!!
(Oh, God, please don't let me lose my ass
on this!)

Service- we can't forget Vegas room service
All of the high-end properties have room service that is unbelievable.
Oh, don't get me wrong, you'll pay a lot for it, but oh, what
they bring you!
A couple of years back, we stayed at The Mirage. (Sidebar:
We rented Rounders,
a poker movie with Matt Damon, Ed Norton and John Malkovich.
Towards the end
of the movie they went to Vegas to play the World Series of
poker - at The Mirage.)
While we watched the movie, we ordered a hamburger and a club
sandwich. I think the bill,
with tip, was $30, but you won't believe what they wheel into
your room for two sandwiches.
I've never seen a rolling table this big on TV or in a movie
when they show someone getting
room service. I was so damn impressed, I took pictures of it,
but now I can't find them.
Mrs. Bart likes Vegas for three reasons - she loves driving
riding in the desert,
she likes it when I'm in a good mood (a hundred tequila bars
has that effect) and
she loves to be pampered, and that's what these big properties
do.
They treat you like you're the King of Surinam, if that's a
place.
48.
The expensive cars I might be alone
on this, but I think it's great fun
to stand on a corner of Las Vegas Blvd and watch the cars go
by. If you do that, you'll
see Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Aston Martins
(I don't know how
to spell any of these cars) Also, each property has a fleet
of limos that I've never ridden in.
I guess you have to play more than the quarter slots to get
a ride in those.
