Quotes
"When I put my hand on the Bible, ...when I
put my hand on the Bible,
that day when they swear us in,
...when I put my hand on the Bible,
I will swear to not ...to uphold
the laws of the land."
--Dubya, Toledo, Oct.
27, 2000 (sanfords.net)
Excerpt:
In a serious blow to U.S. plans for war,
Turkey's parliament speaker nullified
the legislature's vote Saturday to allow
U.S. troops to open a northern front against Iraq.
Speaker Bulent Arinc, known as the Katherine
Harris of Turkey, voided the vote on constitutional grounds,
ruling that a majority of legislators present
had not voted in favor. Arinc then closed parliament until Tuesday.
Polls show as high as 94 percent of the
Turkish public - oppose a war
and deputies were under strong domestic
pressure to reject any U.S. troop basing.
Excerpt:
Secret document details American plan to
bug phones and emails of key Security Council members
The United States is conducting a secret
'dirty tricks' campaign against UN Security Council delegations
in New York as part of its battle to win
votes in favour of war against Iraq.
Details of the aggressive surveillance operation,
which involves interception of the home and office
phones and the emails of UN delegates in
New York, are revealed in a document leaked to The Observer.
Quotes
"This means that I am the baddest.
Only Ali can shock the world like I
did.''
-- Roy Jones Jr (light heavyweight)
after beating John Ruiz (heavyweight)
I didn't see the fight (it was $49) but
they say Jones was so in-control,
he taunted his opponent who outweighed
him by 33 pounds.
Jones beat up everyone in every weight division
he's been in,
so he gained weight to beat up people bigger
than he is.
Jones is so f-ing fast, he fights with his hands below his
waist.
You think you have a free shot at his face, so you throw a punch,
but Jones is so fast he'll either block it or move out of the
way.
Faster than even Ali in his prime, when Jones throws a punch
you don't even see it until his hands and back below his waist.
All praise to Roy Jones Jr.
Lennox Lewis was ringside for the fight. What was his reaction?
"Roy Jones is a worthy heavyweight. I
was very impressed
with the way he handled himself. Whether
he can do that
against me is another matter entirely.''
ha ha
Damn, I'll pay to see that fight even if I have to work
a couple
of shifts at McDonalds to afford it.

Dennis Miller scales the Rushmore of wrong-headedness
by my good friend Barry Crimmins
Excerpt:
No longer the youthful and sassy anchor
of SNL’s "Weekend Update" of all those years ago,
Miller has become a national father figure.
And what a lousy dad he is. Listening to his act is
no longer something we look forward to;
it is more like getting stuck in the back seat of your
pop’s station wagon while he lectures you
on "Americanism" through 30 miles of heavy traffic.

"The fundamental question is, 'Will I be a
successful president when it comes to foreign policy?'
I will be, but until I'm the
president, it's going to be hard for me to verify that I think I'll be
more effective."

Helpless Britons appeal to France for "regime change"
Excerpt:
Dear President Chirac, On behalf of the
people of the United Kingdom, we appeal to you
to help our suffering and once proud nation
rid itself of a leader who defies the wishes of his
people and is trying to drag our country
into a bloody and senseless war of conquest against
a distant nation that has done nothing
to us. We have evidence that this leader has made a
strategic alliance with the leader of a
fanatical foreign cult that is bent on world domination.
Quotes
"This administration has saturated the media
and the American public with the implication
that almost everything evil in
the world centers on Saddam Hussein. Some of our citizens
understandably have accepted
those words from the administration. We have in this country
a system of checks and balances.
I’ve always thought it one of the glories of American
democracy. But if the Congress
and the judiciary are not strong enough to check the
executive branch, we’re in very
real trouble.”
--George McGovern, (D-War
hero) peace rally, Missoula, Feb. 16, 2003 (missoulanews.com)
Blame
the Republicans
Bush has an interesting political strategy for why his domestic
agenda may fail.
Excerpt:
Bush blames the GOP-controlled Congress
for underfunding programs to guard against terrorism.
saying the Hill "did not respond to the
$3.5 billion we asked for -- they not only reduced the budget
that we asked for, they earmarked a lot
of the money" for other unrelated programs.
"That was an incredibly stupid thing for the White
House
to do," a senior House GOP aide admitted.
Democrats agree but they don't plan to
ignore the gift from the President and will use Bush's remarks
for political ads in 2004..

Talking Points talk back
by James Higdon
Excerpt:
And according to Goebbels, the mentor of
the FOX News philosophy,
"[d]uring a war, news should be given out
for instruction rather than information."
This is the philosophy that seems to work
for Americans completely devoid of the
ability to think for themselves, and FOX
has been hugely successful in cornering
the market of that particular demographic.

Last Wednesday, I wrote about NYPD Blue and Charlotte Ross.
> She stood there for what seemed like an eternity with one arm covering
her breasts
> and her hand strategically covering down there. This channel is owned
by Disney?
I found a clear photo from that, and I thought you might like
to see it.
I publish this not to give you a sexual thrill, but to demonstrate
that the networks
are pushing that envelope to this degree.
I thougth it was unnecessary. If they want to show their actors
nude, why not have
Ross go undercover at a brothel? That would be a lot more
honest that this phony
story of "How do we deal with the kid seeing Daddy's shack up
Honey naked?"
I put on a separate link so you have to click on it. If you're
reading this at work
and the opposite sex walked by, you might be charged with some
kind of crime.
And don't write that I'm putting filth on bartcop.com
This is what a network put on their screens in prime time.
I say they went too far - what do you say?
Bart,
Did Bush really say that?!!
"And I look forward to working with Congress.
As you know, appropriators are appropriators.
They live up to their name, whether they

And our jobs as chief executives is to
make sure they appropriate within reasonable levels.

Excerpt:
"Even while chairing commission meetings on the
"dire threat" posed by the Korean program,
Rumsfeld was junketing to Zurich for board
meetings of the Swiss-based energy technology
giant, ABB, where he was a top director.
And what was ABB doing at the time?
Why, negotiating that $200 million deal
with North Korea to provide equipment
and services for the KEDO nuclear reactors,
of course!"

The Long Bomb
Excerpt:
...what you are about to see is the greatest
shake of the dice any president has voluntarily engaged in
since Harry Truman dropped the bomb on
Japan. Vietnam was a huge risk, but it evolved incrementally.
And threatening a nuclear war with the
Soviets over the Cuban missile crisis was a huge shake of the dice
by President John Kennedy, but it was a
gamble that was imposed on him, not one he initiated.
A U.S. invasion to disarm Iraq, oust Saddam
Hussein and rebuild a decent Iraqi state would be the mother
of all presidential gambles. Anyone who
thinks President Bush is doing this for political reasons is nuts.
You could do this only if you really believed
in it, because Mr. Bush is betting his whole presidency...
Hey, easy come, easy go.

"Tony Blair is Bush's prison bitch. This whole

shouldn't all the people
who tried to impeach President Clinton
be behind bars right now?"
Take Back the Media has another winner of a film
Did you ever notice when you fill out an application for health
or life insurance,
the question is phrased, "Have you smoked
tobacco in the last year?"
They don't ask "Have you smoked in the last year?"
The only things I can think of that people smoke are tobacco,
pot, cocaine, heroin and peyote.
Of everything on that list, only smoking tobacco will raise your
rates.

"We in South Africa wanted democracy and we

Hall of Shame
Evil
GOP Bastard of the Month - Colin Powell
Excerpt:
Secretary of State After his false assertions
at the UN (i.e., that nation-alist, secular Iraq and
Islamist Al Qaeda were terror co-conspirators,
and pitifully weak evidence of an Iraqi threat),
we must regretfully conclude that Powell
will knowingly -- even artfully -- lie to further his boss'
military adventure in Iraq. Despite
Powell's image of honor and rectitude, there is evidence
that he has a history of executing unethical
/ illegal orders.
Quotes
"President Bush has always predicted that Iraq
would destroy its
Al Samoud 2 missiles as part of their
games of deception.
Total disarmament is total disarmament
is total disarmament.
It's not a piece of disarmament."

Quotes
"Bush's economic philosophy is based on what
proponents call supply side theory.
Bush's father famously dismissed it
as voodoo economics. Now, as anyone who has
studied economics knows, supply side
tax cuts are fad economics conceived by
charlatans and cranks. You'd know that,
that is, if you studied economics under the
new chairman of Bush's council of economic
advisers. That's right. Bush's new top
economist, Dr. Gregory Mankiw of Harvard
wrote in his authoritative text book,
"Principles of Economics," that Ronald Reagan's
supply side tax cuts caused the
massive deficits of the '80s and concluded,
quote, "when politicians rely on the advice
of charlatans and cranks they rarely
get the desire of the results they anticipate."
Congratulation, Dr. Mankiw, good luck
trying to educate the currant crop of
economic charlatans and cranks over
at the Bush White House."
