Dueling Quotes
"If congressmen want to go to church, then
let them walk down the block like other Americans do
and go to church. Don't get my government
engaged in it. There are some people who don't love
God Almighty. That's why we have an
Establishment Clause; the constitutional ban on government
establishment of an official religion
."
-- Michael A.
Newdow, who sued to remove "under God" from the Pledge
and now wants to kick the House and Senate chaplains out of Congress
"The Capitol is the people's house and I believe
the overwhelming majority of Americans who
send their senators and members of
Congress to Washington to represent them, are comforted
by the fact that our chaplains lead
us in seeking guidance from a superior power, as we are called
upon to make decisions. We should not
look upon this as a frivolous case but as another attack
on religious liberty."
-- Trent Lott (R-Racist, lambasting
Newdow's case
Trent, two things:
1. "Your belief" that a majority thinks
"X" shouldn't trump the Constitution.
2. A clear majority wanted Gore for President.and
we got Monkeyboy, instead
Ashcroft
seeks to abuse use of 'secret court'
By my good friend Jonathan Turley, writing
for Newsday
Excerpt:
"For many citizens, the notion of an American
"secret court" would appear a striking contradiction in terms.
Until last week's disclosures by Congress,
few Americans were aware that our government routinely used such a
court to conduct searches of its own citizens
for foreign intelligence gathering, searches that would be denied as
unconstitutional by any conventional court.
But this little-known court released to Congress a rare public opinion
chastising Attorney General John Ashcroft
and disclosing dozens of secret violations by the Justice Department.
Most alarming is the disclosure of a plan
by Ashcroft to change the role of the court in spying on citizens.
Not only would the court no longer have
foreign intelligence gathering as its primary purpose, but Ashcroft's
prosecutors would be in direct control
of the use and dissemination of information gathered on citizens."
BartCop vs Al Martin
A mini-debate you can't want to miss
Classic Crossfire Moment
CARVILLE: I think these [Democrats]
on the Judiciary Committee are going
to do the right thing and are not going to be bought off.
CARLSON: They'll be bought off.
Carlson is right on this one.
The Democrats will sell out in a heartbeat, to please Mr. Rove
Nuns 'raped orphans': Bulletin
Excerpt:
But The Bulletin said an out-of-court settlement
was reached with some victims
with compensation up to $75,000 being paid
out, depending on the level of physical
and sexual abuse. They also
received a written apology.

Meredith's Rebuttal
From: Davis Sweet
Subject: No more smart presidents!
Howdy, Bart,
I broke the code! I broke the Presidential Code!
Here's the pattern:
1. A smart president leaves office
2. A dumb president enters office
3. The dumb president invents a fucking
huge foreign bogeyman and sends lots of bombs
and whatnot to destroy
people and things NEAR but NOT TOO NEAR the bogeyman
4. Popularity soars, everyone forgets about
the bogeyman (who continues doing whatever he was
doing before), and the
foreigners who got "inevitably caught in the crossfire" stay dead
Look at the record over the last 50 years:
1. Kennedy goes
2. Johnson enters
3. Vietnam
1. Carter
2. Reagan
3. Kaddafi (Remember him? "Satan?"
We killed his baby daughter? Still in power 20 years later?)
1. Clinton
2. Ugh
3. Saddam (after Bin Laden
turned out to be a dud)
What's the common thread? SMART PRESIDENTS!
If we cut off the guys at step 1, maybe we don't
get to the bloodbath in step 3!
Let us vow, as Americans, never to elect a smart president again. We owe it to the world.

A great cartoon from my good friend Tom Tomorrow

http://jeffcrook.20m.com/mad.html
Bart,
How do you pronounce "hueueueuege?"
Is it like a longer "huge," but longer in
the middle, like "huuuuuge?"
Or is it like "h-you-you-you-you-ge?"
Or is it something else?
Been wondering about that for a long time.
Thanks,
David
Dave, it's pronounced "hyoooooooooj."
Looong time ago, we found voice synthesizer software on the web.
I asked people to DL the software, and then have the computer
read Volume 77 (or whatever
issue of bartcop.com we were on) to them ,and
when that huuuuuuuuuge came up,
the computer made a funny yodeling sound, so I kept it up for
a few issues.
(It was in my heavy drinking days :)
I wonder if there's still a free voice synthesizer on the web.
And maybe someone remembers which issue that was in?
by The Pieman
Subject: Bush Gestapo picture, sorry you are wrong on at least two points.
The picture does look scary. But;
1. That isn't a choke hold, the crook
of the elbow would be at her throat.
It looks as he is pulling
her backward ( almost just as bad).
Excuse me, but a man can choke a woman without using his elbow.
Maybe that's the official WWF version of choking, I'm not sure.
Look again at the picture:
2. The cop isn't holding a billy club, he is
climbing something. If you look closely,
you will see that they are above street level.
It looks as if the cop is climbing a support pole.
I'm not sure you are correct. It's looks to me like there are merely
behind some kind of wall or barricade.
And I can't be certain, but IF this cop has a baton in his hands, it's
across the throat of this woman,
who is onviously not doing anything but peacefully holding a
sign..
Please do not give the right more fodder with
mis-statements.
They do and will capitalize on it.
Thanks
EWG
Thanks for the advice, but I don't think I'm spewing wild accusations.
No matter what YOU read into this, I see four cops advancing on an
old woman with a sign.
I guess we should be thankful they didn't shoot her.
Subject: Admin Desperate - Pulls Out Hitler Comparison Again
Bart,
Rumsfeld says that Bush's stance on Iraq
is like that of Churchill warning about Hitler.
Gee, Bush Sr. used a similar line for the
last Gulf war. It might be plausible, but Churchill
didn't drive Hitler from Poland, declare
the war over, and pull out.
And in another remarkable coincidence, Bush
2 has built an impressive coalition, just like Bush 1.
Except that this coalition is against him.
Seems to me we shouldn't have a war unless we can
find some other country besides Israel
to side with us.
Just one.

The
Constitution and political protests
by Carla Binion
Excerpt:
When on August 22, police in Portland pepper
sprayed protesters and shot them with
rubber bullets, they interfered with the
protesters' First Amendment right to peaceably assemble.
The first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution,
the Bill of Rights, protect citizens from
being terrorized by their own government.
Voice
from Brazil
by Fábio Jardim
Excerpt:
Feeling safe is a thing of the past, like
vynil LPs. Ours is that age of utter uncertainty.
Now THIS is post-modernism. While I am
here nursing my flu and all of Latin America
and Europe watch the World Soccer Cup,
India and Pakistan bare their nuclear fangs
at each other, the US government candidly
announces that, well, it might have to intervene
upon the “Axis of Evil” Based on little
or no evidence because, well, why bother with details?
Florida
plans to settle NAACP suit over 2000 election
Only way to avoid a trail where the FACTS might come out
- can't have that.
Excerpt:
The suit, filed by the NAACP, argued voters
were disenfranchised during the 2000 election;
it included allegations that blacks were
kept from voting in some counties.
A settlement would eliminate the likelihood
of unflattering headlines from a trial
projected to last through parts of Gov.
Jeb Bush's re-election campaign.
Well, of course...
Since the media are so intent on shielding
the B.F.E.E. and hiding the facts,
a trial is the only way the facts could
come out, so Jeb settles to bury the truth forever.
Subject: 911 timeline - pretty spooky dude
Bart,
A timeline about relevant events to 9/11.
Best proof that bush knew I've seen.
Peace.

Subject: Dude...
What a waste of your precious time, man.
The world, after all, has always been broken
and always will be -- 10,000 years of human history,
and we're no better or worse than the Sumerians.
Try to enjoy the day, and make peace with yourself
and your next-door neighbors (whatever they believe...we're
all human beings). That's what life is about.
And...there are (of course) about an octillion
other sites like yours, on (of course) BOTH sides of the fence.
The noise is the same...only the names and words
are different.
Did too, did not, did too, did not, did too, did
not...ad infinitum.
Really, the only people out there going "YEAH!!...YEAH!!"
are those who agree with you 110% already.
Lighten up and enjoy! Have a glass of wine,
listen to music, and think of nice words to say
to someone you ordinarily wouldn't...it can make
you feel so very good, I promise.
Chris
Chris, you must be new.
Nobody has as much fun every day as Ol' Bart!
Trust me, I fine plenty of time for wine, music and saying nice things.
I'm not sure what you do for fun, but I like giving ditto-monkeys the
red-ass.
To each his own, I guess.
You better not go to www.pornolize.com
and punch in some URl..
(especially not this one) because two things would happen:
1. You'd be offended.
2. You'd laugh so hard you'll break a stitch.

Soon: the Halloween Surprise
by mark roth, (c) 2002
Excerpt:
Prediction: look for a war with
Iraq to begin right around Halloween (Oct. 31).
It will be started by either an alleged
Iraqi attack on Israel, or on Israel's announcement
that they had "conclusive evidence" that
Saddam Hussein was about to attack them
with missiles with biological or chemical
warheads.

Bart gets Farked
Lotsa comments like: Bartcop is a punk windbag.
Of course, they don't have the courage to debate, they just like
to insult from afar,
then grab each others asses with dittoes about how well they
put me in my place.
Hey, I'm right here - you can come get a piece any time...
BartFest2002 - Party at the Rio
Make your own hotel reservations.
Update
The good news keeps getting more gooder.
The news is so good, it might present a problem.
Y'know, I have many problems. (cough)
Do you remember the guy in Blazing Saddles who couldn't speak
clearly?
He's the guy on the roof with the telescope that screamed, "The
Sheriff is near!"
Well, that's me.
Christian's always telling me instead of screaming, "The
Sheriff is near!"
I should wait until the Sheriff arrives, and then say "The
Sheriff is here!"
I know I should, but sometimes I get so excited, I just can't
hold the secret in.
This Vegas trip started as one thing, then morphed into a bartcop.com
fund-raiser.
As of this writing, it's not a fund-raiser, it's a fund-lowerer,
so I did what every gambler
does when he's behind - I
raised the stakes!
ha ha
Friday I talked to The Rio about our difficulty in choosing
a room to rent,
and they presented me with an offer I just could not refuse.
I don't have the final
figures yet, but they basically offered me a Lamborghini
for the price of a Chevrolet.
The problem is - the Lamborghini only holds a hundred people,
which means
we have room for about another 25
attendees
to BartFest
...and then we're sold out.
I thought to myself, "Screw it! (Actually, I said "fuck
it") If this is the last BartFest,
I want to lose money in style, so let's kick out the
jams and do this first class."
But you see, in Las Vegas, when you say, "Let's
do this first class,"
they have no trouble accommodating, but, ...one pays for
first class in Vegas!.
ha ha
We're
going to party like P. Diddy!
...except with fewer drugs, probably
...and fewer guns, certainly
...and fewer cops, hopefully
This is going to be un - be - lievable.
Like a girl who saves every penny for seven years for her perfect
wedding,
we're going to blow everything on this final BartFest!
I'm only going to have this on the main page once, but I'll keep
the IMPORTANT
sign up for a full seven days so everyone has a chance to see
it, because I don't
want to fill up the Lamborghini and then have a bunch more ticket
requests arrive.
It's be especially heart-wrenching if we fill up and some good
friends want to come,
...so get your tickets before this boat sails.
The Fest is four weeks from today, (Magic Friday is less than
four weeks) and we had to
make a decision, so we have 25 more spots to fill and then our
house is packed.
So if you kinda, sorta, maybe thought about going - get your
tickets A.S.A.P.
There are at least a dozen bartcop.com pillars
who have indicated that are coming,
but once we hit that magic 100, we must close the doors,
so hur-ray, hur-ray.
Snail mailers must be particularly quick.
Tickets are still just $75
If you've been waiting for the last minute to get in - this is it!
Just 28 days ...and counting
(Oh, Lord, I've already lost my ass on
this, so just let the party rock!)
Isn't it exciting????
When this is over, there will be a hundred people saying,
"Koresh-damn, can you believe that Bart-Fest!?"
Rented for BartFest, but only holds 100
There are 25BartFest tickets available.
