Secret
Court OKs Broad Wiretap Powers for Ashcroft
Democrats, liberals, blacks, gays and
teachers seen as first likely victims
Excerpt:
In a victory for the Bush administration, (seems like every story
starts that way now)
a secretive appeals court ruled that Ashcroft has the right to
use expanded powers to
wiretap anyone he suspects of anything under The
Patriot Act.
The ruling was another blow to the once-concrete US Constitution.
Civil libertarians say
the limitless powers jeopardize constitutional rights. This ruling,
by
Rehnquist appointees,
overturns a May opinion by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
appeals court,
consisting of non-Rehnquist judges.
Civil liberties groups slammed the unconstitutional ruling.
"We are deeply disappointed with the decision,
which suggests that this special court
exists only to rubber-stamp government
applications for intrusive surveillance warrants,"
said Ann Beeson of the no-longer-relevant ACLU.
The scariest part of this story?
The appeal hearing was not public, and only Ted Olson presented arguments.
Ted Olson, the B.F.E.E. operative who tried to reverse
the 1996 elections results using the
Paula Jones case, was the ONLY one the court heard from. If this
Reuters story is true (big if)
the court ruled without hearing arguments why Ashcroft should
NOT have unlimited powers.
One last thing to remember: The government always frames this
in terms of "We have to know
what the terrorists are doing," but under The Patriot Act, anyone
that Bush or Ashcroft
suspects might be involved in anything harmful
to the United States, (such as free elections?)
no longer has Constitutional rights. It doesn't say "Saudis"
or "Iraqis," - that's anyone.
The Democrats couldn't win an election before Ashcroft
became Ken Starr.
What are the odds of Democrats ever winning an election again?
Hey, Funnyboy!
What are
the odds of you
seeing
Christmas 2003?
What
did Dubya do in the war, daddy?
Canadian paper tells truth, American invasion imminent
Excerpt:
As George W. Bush piously observed Veterans
Day, media pundits somehow restrained
themselves from pointing to the irony that
the U.S. Commander-in-Chief, who's sometimes
referred to as a "former fighter pilot,"
has an embarrassing military past. His records show
that for months at a time during the Vietnam
War, Bush could be classified as, at best,
"absent without leave" (AWOL) or, at worst,
as an army deserter.
This would be equivalent to the media withholding
comment as former U.S.
President Bill Clinton publicly espoused
the virtues of marital fidelity.

Bart:
First - John Wayne could not act,
Ellen Degeneres is not funny and
Michael Jackson is most definitely weird.
Now, how about a comment on Rummy stating
that the Iraq War will not be WWIII
because the US Military is so much more
powerful than it was in 1991 in direct contradiction
to the Bush mantra that Clinton decimated
the US Military. How can they have it both ways?
Mark
Mark,
They can have it both ways because the press refuses to ask any
questions.
It's disgusting the way they fawn over this smug-ass simpleton.
When Clinton was handling Bosnia and Haiti, the GOP screamed that
he was spreading
the military t-o-o t-h-i-n and they were about to fall
apart. Now, we're preparing to attack
every country known to have oil reserves - all with Clinton's
armed forces.
I had to run to the doctors office to get some anti-biotics for a nagging cough. (cough)
There was a long line, seems like the whole world is sick, so
I looked for a magazine.
The best-looking magazine that was left was "Voices" magazine.
On page two was a Viagra commercial, same for page three.
Page four was something else, page five was another Viagra commercial.
I half-read one story about what to do if your four-hour erection
fails to go away..
Whoa!
Soon, I figured out it was a Viagra magazine, so I dropped it
like a hot potatoe.
Koresh forbid, someone would recognize me in the doctor's office
reading a Viagra magazine.
Pretty soon, it'd be all over Fox News. O'Reilly, Hannity,
Snow and Hume - "Can Bart or can't he?"
Then Pigboy, Laura, Matthews, Harvey et al, would go crazy, and
Ann Coulter would write a book.

Excerpt:
While doing research late one October night,
Brian McWilliams, a freelancer who specializes
in Internet security clicked on the official
Iraqi government Web site, www.uruklink.net/iraq.
On a whim, he typed in the address for
Saddam, "press@uruklink.net," using "press" for president,
and tried "press" again as a possible password.
The most disturbing messages appeared to
be business proposals from American companies,
despite U.S. prohibitions against such
transactions, McWilliams said.
The CEO of a California wireless technology
company e-mailed Saddam suggesting they could
discuss "technology improvements and exporting
of rich technology aboard," McWilliams said.
This reminds me of an old Iran-Contra story that nobody will remember.
Shortly after Reagan/Bush had stolen the 1980 election with their
illegal October Surprise
Bell Helicopter in Texas got a Telex from the Iranian government
with a list of helicopter parts
they desperately needed to keep their fleet in the air.
The Bell people were confused, since trading with Iran then was
like trading with Hitler,
(Prescott Bush - call your office!) so they called Washington
and asked what to do and
Washington told them the Iranians were smoking something to just
ignore it.
Years later, we found out Bush 41 was secretly selling these terrorists weapons.
The stupid Iranians thought they could just order whatever parts
they needed from the source,
when they really had to go thru the B.F.E.E. secret channels
because the sale was illegal.
How does the B.F.E.E. get away with doing business with terrorists - and nobody cares?
Oh, that's right - if Clinton's zipper isn't involved, it can't be a crime.
It's a serious, constitutional crisis if Clinton sees a woman,
but if the B.F.E.E. wants to make
billions selling sophisticated weapons to terrorists like Saddam
or Islamic Jihad,
the good puppy press rolls over while the B.F.E.E. scratches
their balls.
It's been that way for 22 years now.

James Coburn Dies at 74
It was in the mid-seventies when Coburn got the gig of a lifetime.
Back then, the Schlitz Brewing Company was a hueueuge TV advertiser.
Coburn signed a deal with Schlitz to say two words, "Schlitz
Light,"
in their commercial, and was paid a half million dollars for
it.
He never mentioned his name, never even said Schlitz was good
beer.
But back then, $500,000 was a lot of money, and Coburn was among
the first celebrities to grab real money for doing very, very
little.
It was a gig anyone in Hollywood would like to have snatched.

Flashback
This is from all the way back to Volume
Three - Vote for Buchanan!,
when we were, ...when we were, ...when we were infants
in the political game.
> SYMBOLISM VS SUBSTANCE
> Scenario: YOU are the Senior US Air Commander in Seoul.
> North Korea rattles their nuclear saber, and
prepares to launch against Japan in less than 12 hours.
> Satellite photos confirm it. Clinton orders
you to take out North Korea's Command center.
> The problem?
> You just found out that three of your best ten
pilots are gay. You must make a decision.
> Do you ground the gay pilots to preserve the
symbolism of an all-straight military?
> Or do you want the substance of America's finest?
> The stakes are enormous. That facility must be taken out. Millions of lives are in the balance.
> What's your decision, Commander? Do you
want gays in the military?
As we learned in Friday's
Issue, Bush wants to preserve the charade of the all-straight military
so six hard-to-find Arabic linguists were fired for being gay.
So, if Al Qaida surprises us with another "spectacular" horror
show,
Bush has the satisfaction that no queers were there to prevent
it?
Is this what America voted to ratify in the last election?
More dead Americans is better than letting the queers get involved?
Our president is a gay-hating moron.

Connecting
the Dots on the Wellstone Assassination
by David Spring
Excerpt:
That leaves us with only one reasonable
explanation left. As Sherlock Holmes said,
"When you have eliminated the impossible,
whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".
In this case, the only reasonable explanation
left is sabotage. And not just any old kind of sabotage,
but a very sophisticated job indeed. It
must have involved not only alteration of the plane prior to take-off
at the Twin Cities Airport but also coordination
with someone on the ground near the crash site.
How else could they have controlled the
timing of the crash so precisely?
Subject: Life Sucks
Bart,
I read you every day and lately you seem
a bit down, not that I can blame you
as the this country is going to hell fast
with this fascist power grab going on.
Nowadays if you are not supporting Bush
then you are labeled a traitor! What the fuck!
Please hang in there, you speak for many
who have no voice.
Thank you,

Mike, I'm OK.

Subject: Bush on magazine covers in Texas
Dear Bartcop:
You mentioned that you saw a number of Texas
magazines with Bush on the cover.
I live in Texas, and I'm real tired of
seeing that shit too.
However, the Texas Monthly you referenced,
with the cover story "Bush's Crawford,"
is not another paean to Bush but is instead
a well written account of what has happened
to Crawford since Bush decided to make
it his hometown.
For example, Bush has never attended the
black church in Crawford; imagine that.
Also, one of Bush's neighbors gladly pointed
out that Bush wasn't even from Texas,
let alone Crawford, and that a number of
people resent the intrusion and the mayhem
(i.e., F-16's screaming overhead) that
accompany his visits. I recommend the story.
That's great news.
Almost half of Arkansas hated Clinton, (the racist, Dixie-whistling
sons of bitches)
and I thought Texas (racist, Dixie-whistling bitches) was 100
% behind never-elected.
In closing, a word about sports. As an Okie,
your joy at Texas's loss is understandable.
I went to UT, so you can go ahead and gloat,
scoreboard, I know, I once again must
wait until next year. However, you brag
about OU beating Baylor by 40 points; yeah,
I could go beat up a third grader but that
doesn't make me a bad ass.
Did it take away the sting of losing to
A&M?
No!
That burns like lye in my eyes!
A&M couldn't even beat Oklahoma State, and they killed the
Sooners!
Argghh!
Again, love the site, keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Earl H
Ponder this
What if the CIA/B.F.E.E. knew bin Laden was planning
the 9-11 attacks, and the real reason
they had to steal the White House was because they knew
that the next president could easily
get extra-Constitutional powers which would make him, essentially,
King of the World.
You know they'd never allow a Democrat to be king.
Is that why the RNC flew dozens of operatives to Florida to riot
and stop the vote counting?
Is that why the Democrats didn't fight as hard, because they
didn't know bin Laden's plans?
Paid
GOP operatives - posing as
angry
Floridians. The press knew
who
they were, but they played
along
to help their boy George

Is that why the RNC bussed hundreds of operatives to Al
Gore's home to scream, "get out!"

Subject: One more question, please
Mr. Bartcop:
First I can no longer call you Honorable Mr. Bartcop.
You have violated trust and truth.
I regret your unfortunate behavior.
It is indeed regrettable.
I will pray to Buddha for your eternal soul.
I'm sorry - in your country, it is bad manners to give a monkey the
red-ass?
I had no way to know that...
Please answer this question to start regaining
your self respect:
Why did Vice President Al Gore lose both his
home state Tennessee
and Bill Clinton's home state Arkansas?
Tennesse and Arkansas are extremely racist and backward states.
It's my guess you don't live in either state, because if you look Chinese
they'd kick your ass daily, unless you're one of those kung-fu grasshoppers.
Did their home state public disrespect them so
much they
could not vote for him or was Bush just better?
Odds are Tennessee didn't want to become the new home for hillbilly
jokes.
I imagine Arkansas was glad to see the Clinton Miracle end, so they
could
stop hiring so many lawyers to get them free of assholes like Ken Starr.
...and George Bush isn't "better" than anyone at anything besides getting drunk and going AWOL.
