Quotes
"I am the hawk’s hawk. I believe the President
was right in Iraq, and I
think he’s right to be threatening
Syria. Of course, I don’t think he’d ever
go into Syria, but it is certainly
good to be waving the bloody club."
--Joe Scarborough,
who beat a woman to death in his congressional office,
but since he's GOP, the press never had any interest in looking into the
story.
Long-time readers of bartcop.com know that Florida imported
a fired-from-Missouri
medical examiner (fired for falsifying autopsy reports) to call the young
woman's death
"from naturasl causes," to keep Scarborough from getting Jeb and the B.F.E.E.
in trouble.
But back to his quote, isn't that what America stands for under
Bush?
We've got the biggest and bloodiest club, and Bush will use it
on YOUR country
if you disagree with any of his attempts to steal the asets of
other nations.
"What
does that mean? Condi!!!!!!!!!!!"
If he does, tell him I'll work for free as an intern - ...no,
...I'll pay him $200 a week if I could just
hang around with him and his writing staff long enough to figure
out how they put those skits together.
He's doing major network-quality stuff on a damn shoestring "B"
Cable budget.
Wednesday night, Jon got out the BIG hammer and beat
Rick Santorum with it for maybe three minutes.
That's three loooooooong network minutes, 180 seconds
of a pounding - using the great BIG hammer.
ha ha
You gotta hear this clip.
Not only.did he bust the balls of Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)
the admitted sex-with-mom pervert,
but it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.
Where can I buy some Jon Stewart stock?

"Everyone acts all surprised and upset, when

gay-bashing and Lott's love for slavery
God
Bliss America
by Alan Bisbort as seen on apj.us
Excerpt:
...just look at the sorts of people who
are most vociferously propounding this point of view: the Rush Limbaughs
and Sean Hannitys and Michael Savages and
Bill O'Reillys and Ann Coulters. They are all like my despised neighbor:
blowhards whose own behavior stands in
hypocritical contradiction to everything for which they pretend to stand.
Rush is, of course, the quintessential
example: his real name is not Rush Limbaugh, he was once on welfare (he's
always
railing about welfare mothers), he avoided
the draft during the Vietnam War via the dubious excuse of an anal cyst,
and so on. Stand any of these pretenders
up against their own tests of patriotism and they'd fail miserably.

"In a remarkable about-face, the IRS has restored
the tax-exempt status of two groups

basis of the ethics case against Newt Gingrich (R-Ga)."

Daddy
Warbucks Is Alive and Well
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Last week, the U.S. Agency for International
Development awarded a contract worth $680 billion for the
reconstruction of roads, bridges and other
facilities to Bechtel, the San Francisco– based construction
conglomerate whose Republican connections
are comparable to those of Enron and the Carlyle Group.
Bechtel’s former president is George Shultz,
who served as Secretary of State during the Reagan administration,
tutored George W. Bush in foreign policy
during the 2000 campaign and fervently advocated invading Iraq.
The company’s current C.E.O., Riley Bechtel,
was recently appointed to serve on the President’s Export Council.

Iran-Contra
Secret Government Rears its Ugly Head
by Jackson Thoreau
Excerpt:
Many obvious players in Iran-Contra, such
as North and Bush, are still heavily involved in the current U.S. secret
plans
to do whatever the hell the rich and powerful
forces that really run our government want to do. In a chilling precursor,
Martin describes Operation Orpheus, a secret
plan in the 1980s to fake a nuclear attack by Russia to cover up Iran-Contra
misdeeds and install a military dictatorship
in the U.S. It was a similar plan to Operation Northwoods, another phony
terrorism campaign which some of the late
President Kennedy’s military advisors, led by then-Army Gen. Lyman L.
Lemnitzer, devised to help justify an invasion
of Cuba in 1962 to overthrow Fidel Castro.

Quotes
CIA spook: (Looking at a picture
of Saddam) There is no Saddam Hussein. This guy's name is John Gilnitz.
We found him doing dinner theater in Tulsa. He does a mean 'King and I.'
Lone Gunmen: You're trying to say Saddam is a government plant?"
Area 51 spook: I'm saying I invented
the guy. We set him up in 1979.
He rattles his saber whenever we need a good distraction.

Last night, I caught Barbara Hartwell's internet radio show on http://www.ufolab.info
She opened up with an impassioned denial that she was ever a sex
slave for the CIA.
That got my attention.
Then she repeatedly denied being a "Honey trap," for the CIA,
which made me listen even harder.
There were lots of stories about CIA brainwashing and psychic
witches and cool cointelpro-type stuff.
She talked about what it took to break free from the CIA.
I found it to be damn interesting.
Her show is on every Wednesday night from 7-9 PM Eastern.
Next Tuesday, could someone remind me to put the reminder on
Wednesday's page?
..
Never
a CIA sex slave.
Never
a CIA "Honey trap."
Jobless figures point to deepening problems for US economy
Excerpt:
Asked about the impact of the Bush administration’s
proposed tax cuts, he replied: “Let’s suppose for a minute
that we were talking about a developing
country that had gaping current account deficits year after year, as far
as
the eye can see of 5 percent or more, with
budget ink spinning from black into red, with the likely deficit to GDP
ratio for general government debt exceeding
5 percent this year, open-ended security costs, and a real exchange
rate that had been inflated by capital
inflows, with all that, I think it’s fair to say we would be pretty concerned.”

Subject: the caning story (facts) (you're wrong, sorry)
You've got it mostly wrong.
ha ha
Never heard that before...
The kid's name was Michael Fay, he was arrested
for vandalism (spraypainting graffiti, if I'm not mistaken),
and most importantly for your point, the
country in question was Singapore, not any of the ones you mentioned.
Why is this important?
Two of the three you mentioned - Malaysia
and Indonesia (I assume that's what you meant when you
said "Sukarto")
ha ha - are predominantly Muslim;
the third (Thailand) has a large Muslim population.
Singapore does not - so it doesn't make
any sense to lump that country in with "those people."
(Also, they did in fact cane the kid. He
didn't get let off the hook.)
It's illegal to do a lot of stuff in Singapore,
incidentally, that is OK here. The two I remember offhand are smoking
and chewing gum. I spent some time there
a few years ago and came away with a tourist t-shirt that lists all the
things
you can't do, and their respective punishments.
They had this president a few years ago who was a real tight-ass...

Oh, they have one of those, too?

Atta Worked for Elite US-German Govt. Program
world exclusive by Daniel Hopsicker
copyright 2003 MadCowMorningNews
Excerpt:
The jointly-funded government effort picked
up the tab for Atta on sojourns in Cairo, Istanbul, and Aleppo in Syria
during the years 1994 and 1995 and employing
him as a “tutor” and “seminar participant” during 1996 and 1997.
Moreover Atta’s financial relationship with
the U.S.—German government effort, known as the may even extend back
to his initial move from Egypt to Germany
in 1992, after being “recruited” in Cairo by a mysterious German couple
dubbed the “hijacker’s sponsors” in a recent
news account in the Chicago Tribune.

Quotes
"In the meantime, there's no strong Democrat
to hold the Republicans responsible for Santorum.
The aforementioned candidates for president
will each chime in, to be sure, but there is every reason
to expect each chime to sound like
the same tune: outraged, but impotent. What's needed is an attack-dog
candidate who derides Santorum precisely
and memorably, and who - more importantly - makes it clear
his administration's agenda would frustrate
and disgust Santorum. A half-hearted defense will leave gays
wondering where to turn for representation,
or leave them convinced a third-party vote is their best recourse."
--Eric Campbell. What's
Next?
Me?
I'm white, male, straight, non-religious and 49.
I'll be the last guy affected by the GOP's madfness, and they

Isn't the time to be scared right now?

Subject: Votescam
Sir, I have been reading your blog about
a month now. I have read some of the Votescam stuff
and given the "surprising" wins of the
republinazis in the last election, I was wondering how worried
I should be about the 2004 elections. I
really don't think our country can survive another 4 years
of republinazi rule. I know you probably
can't answer this, just thought I'd email.
Thanks,
Steve Coleman
Steve, short e-mails are my favorites.
You should be plenty worried.
Right now, I see Bush as an 8-2 favorite, because he has no opponent.
Even when he gets an opponent, he'll be a soft-spoken, brie-eating
appeaser offering Republican Lite.
The Democrats have lost their way.
They can remember a time in their history when a smart and telegenic
genius stood up and said what he
believed in and the country gave him theiur hearts and their
votes, because they knew even if he had flaws,
he'd do a great job and serve the backbonme of America, the people
who go to work.
Smirk wouldn't know a job if it bit him in the ass.
He's all about the rich getting richer and fuck the poor.
The Democrats need a leader to get back their house - someone
who's not afraid to anger Mr. Rove.
Whoever this Democrat is, where the hell is he?
Why give Bush a year to make his getaway and then scream, "Stop,
thief!"?
Please don't let Mr.
Bush kill me.

Subject: Bartcop mentioned on TV
I heard Bartcop mentioned on TV yesterday!!!!
Was flipping through the channels on Sunday
afternoon, and stopped briefly
on some tech channel that was discussing

Bart,
Just got back from an Arianna Huffington
book signing. There was a Heueueueuge crowd
—well over a hundred people packed into
a little bookstore that used to be a little house.
Arianna is everything I admire in a woman;
smart, funny, and gorgeous! She walked out to thunderous applause
and talked about all the usual corporate
malfeasance. But then she spoke of how WE need to quit sitting around
waiting for a “knight on a white charger”
to save us. WE have to be the ones to build our support groups and organize.
WE have to send the emails and make the
phone calls. She said she was very optimistic and that’s what she really
wanted to share; “There is a groundswell
of activism”, she said. She made the point that every new person who gets
involved and does something--anything--could
be the last person needed to reach “critical mass”. She told how
her
travels around the country have shown her
that people everywhere are getting outraged and getting organized.
When Arianna signed our books, TLM asked
if she knew of Bartcop.com. “Absolutely,” she proclaimed!
Yes, Arianna Huffington reads Bartcop.
I asked what Zen meditation she used to keep from doing something
violent to Dennis Miller when she’s is
sitting right beside him. She laughed, looked up at me and asked,
“What’s wrong with that guy? What made
him turn?” Yeah, like I would know. When someone asked
what made HER turn, she replied “I got
to know Newt Gingrich”.
TLM made a gift of a BartCop.com sticker.
So with a little luck, somewhere there is a very impressive
endorsement of your website, riding around
on the bumper of a very fuel efficient car.
Here’s a shot of TLM, Arianna Huffington and me, MindPilot.
MP, thanks for that.
Arianna's one of the few who speak the truth.

Dixie Chicks Pose Nude to Answer Critics
Excerpt:
Today's New York Whore Post ran a picture
in which the Dixie Chicks wore only
contradictory slogans painted on their
bodies, including "Opinionated," "Traitors,"
"Saddam's Angels," "Dixie Sluts," and "Proud
Americans."
Hits are way up
Prices are way down
argue with me
$80 for two ads, $300 for ten.
Strange but true
I received an overnight, hand addressed letter from Terry Mac
and the DNC.
There was no reason given.
It said, "What kinds of things are on
your mind?" and I answered that.
It said, "What kinds of things concern
you most?" and I answered that.
It said, "What kinds of things could
we do to get your support?"
I wrote, ""I will contribute when you start fighting back.
I will contribute when you stop laying down for Bush.
He has not earned that which he has inherited. You're
bowing to his unelected whims after they impeached
our guy because he kicked the asses of two Republican war
veterans in fair (pre-Diebold) elections?
I spent the 38 cents.
I'm sure Terry will be calling real soon.
Sidebar:
Terry, I'm with you, but you gotta fix
everything
and damn fast. Right now, Bush is the favorite to win 2004 and that's
with a shit economy, no brains at all,
and a never-ending war, and we'll talk about 9-11 and anthrax later. ...and
you guys
can't come up with something that voters
want to hear? Our side can't sell the "peace and prosperity" vision
thing over
their never-ending "War, death and recession,"
platform? Do ya need some help?
Maybe the DNC is so smart that they're talking over the heads
of the voters, but that's where I could really help.
I speak stupid-ese - I can reach the people!!
Lemme know, Dude.

Omar,
bin Laden, and Saddam - CIA's protégés or agents?
By Der Voron
Excerpt:
Saddam:
3) After he captured Kuwait in 1990, why
didn't he then offer the Soviet Union, which still existed at that time,
the opportunity to
engage its
troops in Iraq, in order to prevent the coalition's military operation?
An offer, in which the Soviet Union would also
receive
50% of Kuwait's oil at a cheap rate (thus becoming able to save its economy,
which was collapsing at that time; oil
extraction
in Kuwait is much less expensive than in the Soviet Union/CIS because of
climate differences)?
Quotes

them. Well, let’s just hope his jury is "fair and balanced” as Fox News."
