Quotes
"I never met Matt Drudge, but if I see Matt
Drudge, I'm going to
take my red-blooded American foot and
put it up his un-American ass
for trying to disrupt the opening of
my movie."
--Chris Rock
"Drudge
has been on our payroll since '95"
Excerpt:
Rummy the Rash fired Army Secretary Thomas
White, (R-Enron) whose tenure as civilian chief
of the military's largest service was marked
by tensions with his boss. In testimony before a Senate
panel last July, White said repeatedly
he had played no part in manipulating California energy prices
and knew nothing of Kenny Boy's plans to
rape California to the tune of $500.000 in one f0inf day.
He testified with a straight face and without
giggling when he claimed, doing the voice of Sgt Schultz,
"I know nuthinnnng!" even tho White worked
for Enron from 1990 to 2001.
In an interview in March 2002, amid the
Enron controversy, White said he would quit his Pentagon post
should the federal investigation into Enron
distract from his duties in the war on terrorism.
When you read something like that, you figure the feds might be
closing in on a crooked crook who got caught
and now he's being fired to minimize the damage that the KennyBoy-Smirk
link is causing them. I mean, if this war
was the super-duper success-on-all-fronts that the good pupp
media says it is, how can they afford to sack the White?
But then you remember that White is a rich, white oil executive, thus he is immune from prosecution.

Deep
Throat Revisited
by Jerry Kensinger
Excerpt:
My own obsession with Deep Throat began
in college in the early eighties and it was there that I learned just how
difficult a task it was
going to be to ferret out who Deep Throat
actually was. This was the era of reference books, publication catalogs
and microfilm.
An era of note taking, copious copying
and time consuming reading Hard fought research you might say.
Armed with only my dog eared copy of “All
the President’s Men” and a healthy zeal, I began pouring through the old
microfilms of the
Washington Post. The reference librarian
quickly realized what I was up to and commented “You’ll never figure it
out...it’s just too
much information!”. I blew her off
with a wave of my hand and continued on. But in the end, she was
right; it was way too much
for any one person to tackle.
Whoever was going to crack the case would
have to do a lot more than rank speculation. They were going to have
to break down
all the information bit by bit and match
it with the players. And that’s just what Professor Gaines and his
students have done!
Quotes
"So the surviving Iraqis get to choose their
own government, they just don't get to choose who their choices are.
So says Rummy: He's ruling out an Iran-style
religious government in Iraq as well as any attempt by Syria and
others in the region to influence Iraq's
future. You know, this could be a good thing for the Iraqis. Look
what
happened to us when we got an unelected
President who decided he was chosen by God to lead the nation."

Election Theft 2003: Baghdad Edition
There is a web site called revoketheoscar.com
It's another right-winger who is obviously looking for a fight
so I wrote him the following e-mail
Hi,
I strongly disagree with your attempts to
take from Michael Moore what he won, fair and square.
If you think people should earn what they
have, don't you think the governor of Texas should
move out of President Gore's place of residence?
I have a web page too, and I can't find
ANYBODY from your side of the fence who will agree
to a friendly debate in a live chat room.
Since you obviously have strong right-leaning
fellings, would you be the person I can depend on
to have a friendly debate?
Or are you "too busy" like the other millions of conservatives who are on the Internet?
If you're unable or unwilling to accept
this offer to defend your points of view, I suggest they
may be invalid and you should probably
take your page down.
Please let me know,
bartcop
bartcop.com
PS. If my page seems harsh to you, I will
be very polite in our debate.
Do you think I'll hear from the guy? He has such strong
opinions - I wonder if he can back them up?
Or is he like Rush, Hannity, FOX and the rest, hiding from the
majority of Americans
who elected Gore for president? I'll let you
know if I hear from him
Later:
He wrote back, refusing my invitation:
I don't do chat, I'm not
14.
You want to debate?
Use an adult medium.
Feel free to email me
or to use the forums at Moorewatch.com
So, having a man-to-man debate is childish?
Is that what a tough guy says when he's afraid?
Sure, he invites me to e-mail him or post something on his I-hate-Moore
website, but that would be about
as spontaneous as playing a chess tournament by snail mail. I
wonder what he's afraid of? Where is his courage?
And could somebody explain why getting an answer the same day
you ask the question means you're fourteen years old?
Is that what they teach in Republican debate school? Run
away from your opponent because he might give you the red-ass?
He certainly has strong opinions - for as guy who's afraid to
stand his ground and defend that untrue rot he's posting.
Why are all these loudmouths afraid to back up what they spew?
And if anyone knows of a conservative website run by someone
with the courage to debate,
send me the URL and we'll issue the same challenge to them
Why is this right-winger so afraid to stand up for his beliefs? webmaster@revoketheoscar.com

Ha!
Just listened to "the bees" story, kinda
like Hitchcock's "The Birds,"
-- you have a great speaking voice, good
diction, unassuming...
What do you mean you sound like a rat?
Can't Wait. :)
Bart,
I've attached a cynical (and humorous) article.
I agree with the author that neither karma nor the stupidity
of our enemies will save us.
But I don't think the long-term triumph of the bad guys is as inevitable
as he
claims. (Even if it's the way to
bet.) I still believe that if good people would just do something
instead of
rolling over like a Democrat we could defeat
the rich people.
But that's a big 'if'. The average
leftie weenie can't even bring him/herself to see our 'repitilian overlords'
as the Enemy, as wicked as the slaveowners
of the old South. We're in the middle of Civil War II and
the bad guys are winning -- without a fight.

How to Give Up Hope - an eXile guide
by John Dolan
Excerpt:
One of the most desperate hopes is the
old radical belief that as conditions become unbearable under rightwing
rule,
people will get radicalized and start to
revolt. I used to believe something like this: I used to think that Americans
didn’t
really care much who was in charge, as
long as nobody interfered with their money. That seemed like a good way
to
explain what happened to Reagan. His dirty-tricks
squad was caught actually selling weapons—to Iran, the country
which hated us most!-and funneling the
cash to the Nicaraguan Contras. But a strange thing happened: he got off.
The country just let him go. The only way
that made sense was that people were getting rich under Reagan, so
they didn’t
mind what he did on his own. He was like
a degenerate stockbroker who makes his clients money; who wants to turn
in
someone like that?
But if that theory really applied, America
would be rising in revolt right now, because the Bush-ites have managed
to do
more to rob and crush the middle class
than any administration in history. They’re cutting billions from Veterans’
benefits;
they’ve turned a huge surplus into a multi-trillion
deficit and handed over the money to their richest friends; the market
has crashed and burned since they took
power....and no one minds.
No one’s angry.

Reason for War?
Excerpt:
The Bush administration wanted to make
a statement about its determination to fight terrorism.
Officials say Saddam had all the requirements
to make him the perfect target.
Saddam oppressed and tortured his own people,
had ties to terrorists and he met another requirement
- a prime location, between Syria and Iran,
two countries the United States wanted to send a message to.
That message: If you collaborate with terrorists,
you do so at your own peril.
Well then, ...why isn't Bush 41 in prison?
He has armed more American-killing terrorists than Russia, China
and Cuba combined.
And how can anyone ever trust Bush 42 again, acting just like
his father with the double-dealing,
the lies, the perjury, the dirty tricks, the secrecy and stealing
the damn Whte House in the first place?.
"Always with
the bad attitude, Bart!
Just smile
stupidly like us Senate Democrats."

Peggy Noonan:

Of course Bush is going to install

Oh, and how brave Bush was, risking his own personal safety to free that oil from it's Iraqi jailers.

Calls Warmonger Murdoch 'Warmonger'
But the truth is no longer acceptable in the news
Excerpt:
"He's a warmonger," Turner said of Murdoch in
a speech in San Francisco.
"He promoted [this war]."
Friends, we're going to have a little talk...
ha ha
(That was my Laura the Harpy impession.)
But seriously (homage to Bob Hope), as we rapidly approach the
premier of BartCop Radio,
the get-in-for-cheaper snail mail has reached a volume that up
with which I cannot keep.
Even trying to escape minimum wage, getting paid in small bills,
with a short "Thank you,"
reply to each one, is taking up more time as The Premier is
demanding more more time, still
Sidebar:
I'm writing this on Grey
Goose.
Sometimes, if I can't figure a problem
out sober, I look at it from a different angle.
What I'm trying to say is the funded-by-dozens nature of
this radio project means I would appreciate a
"Reply Requested" written in your
letter if you need some stickers or if you need to hear back from me.
I know it's rude, but what can I do?
Hire a secretary?
Not publish on "Thank you, snail mail,"
Mondays?
Stop drinking?
None of those options sound any better than the rude thing.
If you have a suggestion,
Ol' Bart, because I can't figure it out on my own.
Lack of time has been my biggest enemy for a while, and with the
mail/bookkeeping getting heavier,
the page upkeep and radio prep are banging heads more than ever.
They said Dave probably got shingles
from too much stress and "shingles" sounds like something the
Glock can't kill so I'm afraid of it.
Hey, I know, I could read some letters on the air!
That way, you'd know I got it, and it would provide much-needed
content for the early shows.

Ex-CIAs: Weapons of Mass Distraction? Where? Find? Plant?
Excerpt:
Administration leaders will not soon forgive
Blix or the Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency,
for exposing to ridicule the two main pieces
of “evidence” adduced by Washington late last year to support its
contention that Iraq had reconstituted
its nuclear weapons development program: (1) the forged documents
purporting to show that Iraq was trying
to obtain uranium from Niger, and (2) the high strength aluminum rods
sought by Iraq that the US insisted were
to be used in a nuclear application. That contention was roundly
debunked not only by IAEA scientists but
also by the international engineering community.
The media have raised the possibility that
the US might “plant” weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,
and that this may be another reason to
keep UN inspectors out.
Update:
We need your 30-second MP3s for "bumper
music," and vocals are now allowed.
I talked to my legal team, Payne & Supheren, and
they said there's no reason why we
can't have some vocals, too, so that might help when you send
your favorite songs in.
Remember, we only need 30 seconds.
(If you send a 35-second clip, that's OK.
Just don't send Ina-Godda-Da-Vida.

Dear Generals:
Reports show that some American soldiers
maraud in Iraq, which will have a negative effect

Also, this discredits the democracy in the eyes

Mark Del Castillo came into my guitar shop
yesterday, and I told him you said "hi" to the band.
I only know Mark, one of the two brothers.)
He remembered you, I mentioned that you gave them
a positive write-up on the page last week,
he was happy to hear it. I moved to Austin last October,
and only discovered Del Castillo last March.
I was surprised you heard of 'em, but they KICK MAJOR BUTT.
They're like a pair of dual-leading metal
players on classical guitars. Mindbending.
Tristan in Austin

Tristan, when Rick's old band Akasha played my Hard
Rock Island, he was doing Metallica,
Motley Crue, Zeppelin, ...you should hear his Comfortably
Numb. (You will - soon.)
At this year's SXSW, Del Castillo was voted:
- Band of the Year -
- Album of the Year - "Vida" -
- Single of the Year - "Vida" -
- Best Cover Art - Vida -
- Producer of the Year - Rick del Castillo
- Best Drummer - Mike Zeoli -
- Best Mexican / Traditional Band -
Sounds like a landslide to me.
Right now, I'm going to their web site to order their new CD
"Vida"
We'll play some on the new radio show.
