"Those of us who've spent some time in the
agricultural sector . . . understand how unfair
the death penalty is -- death
tax is -- and we need to get rid of it. I don't want to get rid
of the death penalty. Just the death
tax."
-- too stupid, even
for a monkey, in Omaha yesterday,
Excerpt:
Sen. Bob Graham accused the Bush administration
Sunday of overzealous editing
of the public version of a report on the
causes of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Citing proposed changes in several sections
of the report the Florida senator said on
CNN's Late Edition that the administration
was trying to hide information submitted
in open session and, in some cases, reported
in the media.
"That's not being done for any legitimate national
security reasons,'' Graham told CNN.
"It's being done because they don't want
the American people to see a coherent
narrative of what happened.''
"I'm
a war hero - I land jets on carriers with my big package."
"His
big package looked wonderful, didn't it?"
Quotes
"I and can't believe what I'm seeing happening
to my country. Everything seems now
aligned (in the most unbelievable manner)
to prevent pragmatic expression of the goodness
and fairness that I always thought
was inate to Americans as a people. So here's a donation

Bush shines in the time of the lie
Excerpt:
Listen to President Bush in December 2001
explaining publicly how he learned about the terrorist attacks
three months before: 'I was in Florida.
And ... I was sitting outside [an elementary school] classroom waiting
to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the
tower - the TV was obviously on, and I used to fly myself, and I said,
"There's one terrible pilot.'
This account is obviously false since network
cameras were not trained on the towers at the time the first
airliner hit; it was only later that amateur
video of this event was broadcast.
It's too facile to say that all politicians
lie and that leaders commonly deceive in pursuit of their goals.
We are entitled to expect more from someone
who campaigned on a pledge to "restore integrity to the White House.""

Medical
I have been diagnosed with "Tennis elbow."
Doc Shariff says it's a tearing of the tendons, or at least it
can be.
We haven't done an MRI or anything, so we're not sure damage
has been done, if any.
I've been hurting for a couple of weeks, but I figured it was
just a sore muscle.
I've been typing/clicking 6-9 hours a day since I left the car
lot.
Lately, when I get done with an issue, I have a line of fire
that goes from the end of my
pointing finger to that outer bone of the elbow.
Saturday I couldn't use my right arm.
Doc gave me some pills and I'm being fitted for some kind of a
brace tomorrow.
He says the pills and not typing would make it go away the fastest.
If that doesn't work, he says we go to cortizone shots, and surgery
is the last option.
Sidebar:
Doc says, just like with my headaches that
are all but gone, that this may be ergonomic.
My chair might be too low or too high,
that kind of thing. The trouble started when we
set up the studio, but I'm in the same
chair, so who knows?
Sam Dent of The
Forum is organizing a pool of typists.
If all goes as planned (how often does that happen?) I can speak
some rants into the mic,
upload those to a special, private location where the pool will
convert that to type and we
can build a page that way if we're lucky.
We won't really know what's up for 2-4 weeks.
I might shorten the page a little or maybe publish every other
day - not sure.
I just know something has to change since I'm losing the use
of my right arm.
Let's be positive and assume the brace will help.
Quotes
"In accepting a federal tax cut much smaller
than what he'd asked for, Bush told lawmakers,
"Sometimes I get everything I want, sometimes
I don't." Millions of poor American families
can sympathize with the president,
because they come up short in the tax cut, too. It's hard
to imagine who could use an extra $400
per child more than families in that income bracket.
It would have cost $3.5 billion --
1 percent of the total package -- to include these families.
But key senators insisted that the
cost of the tax bill -- including financial aid for ailing states
-- be capped at $350 billion. So something
had to go. And it could hardly be the cuts in taxes
on stock dividends and capital gains,
which benefit primarily wealthy taxpayers, now could it?"
--Seattle PI Editorial Board,
"Screw
the poor - did they vote for me?"
Excerpt:
The question remains: What did the Bush
administration know-- or think it knew--on the eve of war?
Still, they give those lying bastards the benefit of the doubt.
The American press refuses to entertain the possibility that
they just flat-out lied.
Everyone is saying, "Oh, Bush must've been tripped up by faulty intelligence."
Yeah, that's right.
Bush was "tricked" into acquiring Saddam's oil.
Doesn't anybody remmeber the lesson of Watergate - "Follow
the money?"
It all goes into the pockets of the people who stole the 2000
election.

Bill Clinton gives his two cents on the economy
Excerpt:
Clinton said he ran for president in 1992
with “a very detailed plan.”
One of his goals was to slash the federal
budget deficit, which was larger than he expected, in half by the end
of his first term, he said. Congressional
Democrats, with no help from the GOP, passed a deficit reduction
program which included spending reductions,
a higher gasoline tax and income hikes for the wealthy, by only
one vote in each chamber in 1993, he recalled.
A year later, the Republicans took control of Congress in the
mid-term elections. However, the
economy grew and the record budget deficits turned into surpluses.

Quotes
"The fat cats will get their tax cuts. But
in the new American plutocracy, there won't even
be crumbs left over for the working
folks at the bottom of the pyramid to scramble after.
When House and Senate negotiators met
to put the finishing touches to Bush's tax bill,
they coldly deleted a provision that
would have allowed millions of low-income working
families to benefit from the bill's
increased child tax credit. It was a mean-spirited and
wholly unnecessary act, a clear display
of the current regime's outright hostility toward
America's poor and working classes...While
the tax bill will lavish hundreds of billions
of dollars in benefits on people higher
up the income scale, it leaves this group of
working families very ignominiously
behind."

Bttb Bob,
I'm guessing you're not going to like my answer.
In the old days, we talked a lot about The
BartCop Quiz.
One of the things I used to say about a person taking the quiz
is:
You're either going to refuse to answer the questions
OR
You're going to end up agreeing with Ol' Bart
Look at you:
You're NOT wanting to force your
religious beliefs on others.
You've never killed anybody
(abortion doctors, gays etc)
You're not a gun nut or a bomb
nut.
You're apparently tolerant of
gay folk
You'd let a woman decide her
reproductive choices herself.
You're an environmentalist
I would never call you a Nazi.
You're one of us.

Quotes
"In his mind, Eric believes that what he’s
doing is right, just like bin Laden thinks what he’s doing is right.
Eric’s striking out on his own, thinking
that he can draw attention to certain situations in this country.
Like the gay thing. When he found out
his brother was gay, I think that had a whole lot to do with why
he focused on a gay nightclub [Eric
is charged with bombing a lesbian club in Atlanta]. And you know
why he bombed the abortion clinic?
He believes that the white people are eventually going to be a
minority instead of a majority. He
believes that you should reproduce and be true to your race.
He thought white women should marry
white men and black people should marry black people.
He would say we are all going to be
one color—and God doesn’t want us all one color."

Greek lawyers to sue Blair for war crimes
Excerpt
The Athens Bar Association has announced
it will file a suit against Tony Blair for “crimes against humanity
and war crimes” for his role in the Iraq
war. Association President Dimitris Paxinos told the press the
organisation was also considering launching
an action against Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar,
who also backed the invasion of Iraq.
This is pointless.
Blair and Aznar were only puppets for the B.F.E.E., and
they are untouchable.

Bush's Trailers of Mass Destruction
Excerpt:
Enough already. Where are the weapons of
mass destruction?
Rumsfeld appeared at the Council on Foreign
Relations last Tuesday and, during the question-answer period,
made the usual excuses for why his team
of biochem-weapon hunters hasn't yet found any. "We've only been
there seven weeks," he exclaimed.
"It's a country the size of California -”it's not as though we've managed
to
look everywhere," he added.
Horseshit!
When Rummy had his murder hardon raging, he said they knew exactly
where they were.
He said they were in Tikrit and Baghdad, and that he had pictures,
remember?
And the whole reason we couldn't wait another 30 days is because
Saddam was poised to strike!
He was going to hit the US within days, and there was no time
to wait!
But of course, the good puppy press will do as they're told and
report that the certain-to-be-found
weapons are "just around the next corner," and the Demos are,
of course, too lazy, too stupid and
too clueless to make any political hay off the greatest murder-swindle
in political history.
"We
only kill people who are in our way!"
Karl Rove?
or Karl Himmler?
Quotes
"The Iraq situation was difficult, but it is
time to move on. I can murder Baghdad
but that doesn't mean we have to be
disagreeable to each other. As long as I
can have that oil and the French know
their fucking place - we'll be allright."
--Dubya, who said something like that
Subject: Lesbian Club Bombing
BartCop,
I find it interesting that most of the reports
I've seen on Eric Rudolph only mention the Otherside Lounge as a "gay"
club.
It is, or was...not sure if it's still
in operation, but it's more specifically a lesbian club. Sure, there were
usually a few men there,
but it was more well known as a dyke bar.
Why is that distinction important? Out of all the (mostly male) Queer-oriented
clubs in Atlanta (and there were quite
a few at the time), Rudolph picks a popular lesbian spot. Independent women,
flagrantly disregarding God's Holy Order
to be graciously submissive wives and mothers.
IF Eric Rudolph is responsible for all the
bombings he's accused of (presumption of innocence and all that),
then the level of misogyny we're dealing
with here is frightening. I do think religiously driven homophobia
played it's part, but the choice of gay
club is an interesting one.

"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N.

This is especially true if they were told there was an outside

that all peoples of the world will

When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be
willingly relinquished for the guarantee
of their well being granted to them by their world government."
