"For your average citizen it's been a disillusioning
year, starting with the commander in chief fleeing down a missile silo
in Nebraska. The guardians of the 401Ks turned out to be scoundrels; the
guardians of our spiritual morals, the bishops and the parish priests, were exposed
as child molesters; the guardians of our safety, the security agencies, turned
out to be useless." --
Alexander Cockburn, counterpunch.org
Bush
planned Iraq 'regime change' before becoming President See? It's got nothing to do with 9-11, unless Bush knew all along...
Excerpt:
The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended
to take military control of the Gulf region whether
or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: 'The
United States has for decades sought to
play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security.
While the unresolved conflict with Iraq
provides the immediate justification, the need
for a substantial American force presence in
the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of
Saddam Hussein.'
Whenever you read "Gulf regional security," that
means "The B.F.E.E. wants that oil!"
They're using our military to steal that oil so they can "Enron" America
with price-gouging.
What makes you think they won't?
Have you ever seen an oil company that didn't gouge the helpless
consumer?
Every year in May, they raise prices due to the "sudden,
unexpected demand."
If they only owned a calendar, they'd know kids get out of school each
summer,
and they could plan for the "sudden, unexpected
demand."
Have you ever seen a B.F.E.E. affiliate play fair? In California, energy prices went up1000
percent under Enron/Bush.
Using that as a model, expect a gallon of gas to be $12 right after they
steal the 2004 election.
Who's going to stop them?
"But Bart,
gas is expensive! And the Bush
family has to earn!"
The
most hated man in America (this week) Ex-weapons inspector Scott Ritter berates Bush's war plans
Excerpt:
To his detractors, Ritter is a shill for
Saddam Hussein -- a deeper-voiced Tokyo Rose.
Ritter "is a paid spokesman now for Iraq. The traitor
bastard should be shot," one critic
of the former U.N. weapons inspector fumed on the
online forum Paratrooper.com.

Subject: Cheney
Appears On Racist's Radio Show
Why is Dick Cheney honored to appear on
Rush Limbaugh radio show?
Doesn't Cheney know about Rush's history of racism
and intolerance?
Rush has entertained his ditto-heads for
years making fun of African-Americans.
He once told an African-American caller to his
program to "get that bone out of
your nose and call me back." He constantly ridicules
Joycelyn Elders, Anita Hill,
Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Maxine Watters
mainly because they are African-Americans.
The Vice-president of the greatest nation
on earth has no business proudly appearing
on Racist Rush's show. His action is akin to hanging
out with David Duke or the Klan.

Bart,
I guess I am not understanding the website, I
thought that it was liberal?
I'm more left than right, but you should read my attack mail from the
Doves.
They think I'm to the right of Cheney's crooked ass.
Clinton was one of the best moderate republicans
this country has ever seen;
I'd hardly call him a liberal.
Just because he donned the cloak of the democrats
doesn't mean that he's liberal:
The democrats are no longer liberal!
I guess that depends on how you define your terms.
Neither Clinton nor I are Dukakis/Mondale liberals.
We got tired of losing 49 states, so we moved towards the center, where
the votes are.
Tell me, are you tired of losing 49 states, or do you want to go for 50?
Of course, I despise the right-wingers, but combating
them with
the likes of [now] Gore is traggic, certain doom :-(
-mark
I can live with Gore's politics, but he's afraid to fight.
After watching Clinton for 8 years, he went limp during the campaign.
I hate limp.
Excerpt:
The men want to clear their names and continue
studies
Three Muslim medical students detained on suspicion
of planning a terrorist
attack in the US which turned out to be a false
alarm are seeking an alternative
place to study after a Florida hospital cancelled
their internship.
IF,
(you know what that word means, right?) those men actually played a prank
on that waitress, I think they should do some time in prison. I didn't
follow the story
but I understand they shut down airports and highways trying to get a handle
on this.
This is the same thing as saying "I have
a bomb - just kidding" while on a plane.
The problem is we can't trust the media whores to give us the
facts. They're going to
fabricate whichever story will make them the most money, just like they
did with Clinton,
so it's their job to pour gas on this story and see how big they can make
it.

Hey BC.
Bad news. Your girl Mary doesn't work at
the Pink Taco anymore. I went there to scope out the tequila,
as you suggested. Not being a tequila drinker, I have
no report on that, but you *have* to meet Deanna,
a kindergarten teacher moonlighting as a knockout bartender.
Unbelievably sweet and likely not from this planet.
I just got home from one of the greatest weeks
of my life. I stayed at the Hard Rock all week.
Drunken Czech models at the craps table. Eating a veggie
burger with Rob Zombie. Playing blackjack
(at the $5 tables) with Chris from the Sopranos.
Strippers everywhere. The Who's final concert.
Getting in at 11 am nearly every day. If my xxx ever
found out about my scandalous behavior,
they'd toss me out of here in a heartbeat. :)
Wish I could make it to the fest but I'm already
committed for that weekend.
Make sure you take the gang up to the Voodoo Lounge,
although
I have a sneaky suspicion you've already got that up
your sleeve.
Take care!

Mary is no longer? (choke)
I'd better contact the new boss and re-verify our Tequilafest Friday
night.
This is the ultra-famous "Chelsea with
an erection having an orgasm" picture,
according to the money-hungry bastards at People Magazine, on which Drudge
and
the vulgar Pigboy have staked their reputations.
They want you to see this picture and deduce that having your
boyfriend put his
arms around you (at what looks like a football game or something) is worse
than
the underage Bush girls breaking the liquor laws (with Secret Service
help)
Jenna
engages in a little lesbian fun for her college boyfriends.
...or Noel Bush getting caught with cocaine while on probation
for another drug offense.
By the way, how could even the most logically-impaired ditto-monkey
use the
word "erect" when describing this picture? I assume where they wanted to
go
was to claim a woman's nipples might stiffen in a cool breeze, but hard
as I try,
I can't locate any "erection," but then again, the GOP sees nothing
but sex
when they think of the Clinton Family.
By the way, this picture was sent in by a stalker.
They see this as "definite proof" that Chelsea
is a slut, but Jenna's falling-down
drunken lesbo action and Noelle Bush behind bars is "harmless
fun, just being kids."
I wonder what the poll results would be if the question was:
"Would you mind losing your son in Iraq
so the BFEE could get their greedy hands on Saddam's oilfields and the equipment
that Cheney sold him in the nineties?"
The weirdest thing?
The numbers might not be all that different.
I've said it a hundred times, here comes 101: Republicans
would rather their kids die under Reagan/Bush than have
then come home safely under Clinton.
We see it again and again.
Bill Clinton is hated by the majority of military men, fucking
hated, and he has
an eight-year record of never sending a man into battle who didn't come
home.
Reagan lost 241 men in one day, due to his personal bungling in
Lebanon.
We lost another couple of hundred in Desert Storm, because Bush caused
that war.
...and they hate Bill Clinton?

Ten
Reasons Why Many Gulf War Veterans Oppose Re-Invading Iraq
Excerpt:
2. Scientific evidence shows that even
low-level chemical exposures are dangerous.
According to a recent National
Academy of Sciences report (Gulf War and Health,
September 2000), low-levels
of chemical warfare agents cause long-term medical problems.
This conclusion is based on
research resulting from the sarin attack in Japan in1995.
I'm not sure why they're going to Japan for verification on this.
10,000 American soldiers still have "Gulf War Syndrome," and I don't
have any facts
on how many American kids were born with flippers instead of arms, but
it's the price
we pay when a Bush bungles us into an unnecessary war.
Remember: Saddam
didn't invade Kuwait until he got WRITTEN PERMISSION from Bush.
...and don't be stupid and say, "What
written permission?"
Everybody knows Bush did that, but since he's a Bush, we don't
talk about his crimes and bungles.
Did you hear the rumor that Chelsea was hugged by her boyfriend? Now that's news!!!

Bart,
I read your review of the U2 DVD and I enjoyed
it immensely.
I will have to go out and find it so that my wife
and I can check it out.
I agree with your feelings about a great
live performance by great artists.
I vividly remember witnessing following LIVE performances:
1973, Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the
Moon, the whole thing,
I
still think it is the greatest album of all time.
1973, Lynnard Skynnard, I didn't
even know who they were, they were the
opening
act for some other band and they blew the roof off of the building.
1975, ZZ Top, best blues rock I have
ever heard.
1978, Fleetwood Mac, at their peek.
Also saw The Eagles that same summer, both fantastic shows.
1989, The Who and the Stones, in
the same summer, at Busch Stadium in St.Louis. Amazing.
1996(?), The Moody Blues with the
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
Old
songs with unbelievable new sounds.
I forget the year, Stevie Ray Vaughn (RIP).
He made me f-ing cry, it was so beautiful,
I still get misty thinking he is gone and so many
will never get the chance to hear an
artist make a guitar sing like only he could.
There are many others, but these are some
of the best.
You are so right, live performances can be life
long memories.
Nice to talk about something other than politics
once in a while.

who said it
"Everybody says I seek war, but I must be conscious
of my responsibilities. The menace to our country is such that it cannot
be ignored. There is ample proof of the aims of our enemy,
and I thank God Almighty for giving me the strength and the knowledge
to do what must be done."
Excerpt:
Although George Bush I had been an enthusiastic
supporter of Saddam Hussein, Iraq's 1990 invasion
of Kuwait was considered a step too far. After
all, Bush had extensive business ties to Kuwaiti royalty,
going back 30 years; his CIA-connected company,
Zapata Oil, had drilled Kuwait's first offshore wells.
Saddam had to be slapped down -- and Bush had no
compunction about shedding American blood
to protect his partners and his investments.

The Rush Detector Getting
on Bush's Case
by Milt Shook
Excerpt:
Instead of rushing in with guns blazing,
let's make the killing of thousands of innocent
people and the destruction of their country a
last resort, when all other means of pressure
have been exhausted. The reason most people
still aren't buying Bush's sales pitch is that
war is the last thing civilized people should want,
not the first thing.

Update:
We expect to send out tickets in the next few days. At one point
we thought about just
assigning everyone a number, but we got some feedback that some people
wanted to keep
their ticket as a souvenier, so we're planning to send out some extra-cool
tickets any day now.
The
latest plan is to meet Friday at the Hard
Rock's "Pink Taco" for some pre-bus agave.
(For non-drinkers, there's food, gambling, shopping, Shania Twain's lil
dress etc)
We'll board the bus just after dark (approx 7:15) and cruise for about
an hour, maybe longer.
Post-bus ride is open to suggestions. The bus will dump us back at the
Hard Rock.
The
Saturday plan:The Party of the
Year will run from 7-10 PM.
Most of you have opted for the $38 all the premium liquor you can
drink, so you'll have to
make them lose money inside that three-hour window, so pace yourselves
accordingly :)
Adding to the fun - we don't have a room number to give
you. We're going to get advice
from The Rio on how to direct you, but checking with the desk is our Failsafe
Manuever.
Hopefully we'll have an update on that soon.
