 Quotes

"A few short years ago Clinton was exhaustively and publicly investigated, and wound up getting impeached
  because he tried to cover up an affair with Monica. Currently we have abundant evidence that Bush routinely
  lied about Iraq having WMD and having links to Al Qaeda.  Lying about Monica didn't kill anybody.
  Lying about Iraq has resulted in the death of Iraqis and Americans. So why isn't Bush getting investigated?"
   --David Steinberg,  Letter to the Editor,  Boston Daily Globe
 
 

"I never once lied about anything that wasn't about oil."

  Excerpt:
 After a final day of online fundraising that netted more than $700,000, Howard Dean closed the second quarter
 of the presidential fundraising year atop the Democratic field. Meanwhile the early money leaders -- Kerry and Edwards
 -- battled to keep up, the campaigns said yesterday.

 Dean will report more than $7 million raised in April, May and June. That's more than double the amount
 he raised in the first quarter of the year and reflects a surge of online donations in the past 10 days.
 

 They say Dean has a real advantage over the others in that, the feds will match every
 contribution he gets up to a maximum of $250, and Dean's average contribution is $67.

 If I understand the setup (ha ha - what are the odds?) he'll be getting much bigger checks
 from the feds than the other Democrats.  Dean seems to have caught fire.

 Plus, he's raising most of his money from the internet. That tells me Dean is smart AND
 he's forward-thinking, perhaps ready to take America into the future, not back to the fifties.

"Part of me likes Coulter's iconoclasm, panache, smarts. But you still have to draw
  the line somewhere; and, in my view, she damages conservatism as much as Michael
  Moore damages liberalism. It's one thing in spirited debates to lose civility at times;
  it's another thing to make a lack of civility your fundamental modus operandi."
     --Andrew Sullivan,    Coulter Dissected
 
 

 Andrew Sullivan, gay and HIV positive without a condom, a self described "liberal,"
 is doing all he can to protect and shield the party that thinks gays should be put into ovens..

 Quotes

"The state of American politics is sickening.  That was the biggest lie in America -- to put me up there
  with bin Laden and Saddam and say I voted against homeland security!  I volunteered 35 years ago to
  go to Vietnam and the guy I was running against got out of going to Vietnam with a trick knee! I was an
  author of the homeland security bill, for goodness' sake! But I wasn't a rubber stamp for the White House.
  That right there is the epitome of what's wrong with American politics today!"  "
   --Max Cleland, Political Veteran
 

 Republicans say Max Cleland is not a real war hero, and he not a patriot,
 because he had the gall to come back from Vietnam having lost both legs and an arm.

 If he'd deserted his post to do cocaine, Jim Beam and Mexican hookers,
 and lost about sixty IQ points, he could've been elected President as a Republican.

"I've never seen anything like that anti-Cleland ad. Putting pictures of Saddam and bin Laden next to

 Subject: Dear Newsweek

 Dear Newsweek:

 I give you a “down arrow” in Conventional Wisdom this week for publishing the misleading commentary by the
“Daughter of War”, as the warmongering liaison between the mayor of New York City and some 9-11 families
 calls herself.  It only serves to perpetuate the myth held by the majority of Americans that Saddam was behind 9-11
 when no intelligence indicates this.

 The media should be striving to bring us the truth, not perpetuate jingoistic, dangerous myths.  I find it shocking,
 not awe-inspiring, that so many of our pliable military youth carry momentos of the World Trade Center as if the
 invasion of Iraq were a legitimate response to 9-11.  Maybe they should have been next door in Saudi Arabia
 from which came the mastermind, 3/4 of the attackers, and much of the funding!  Our devastation of Iraq and
 its people are nothing to be proud of.  It did nothing to protect our freedom and way of life, unless our way of
 life is invading other countries.  If there is a just God the US will pay for its militarism.

 Sincerely,
 G Hallman

 Whine on, vulgar Pigboy

 Rush was squeeling up a storm on his Wednesday radio show.
 He still can't get over the fact that the court struck down laws against oral sex.

 One of Rush's many talents is he can take an issue like this, his wanting more armed
 federal guards inside your bedroom, and talk about that same crazy idea for days and days.

 He repeats himself constantly, on the belief that every word he utters is so important, that
 nobody in his audience of 4,000,000 monkeys can stand to miss out on a single Nazi idea of his.

 His never-ending rant yesterday was about how horrible it was for Bush's personal judges to have
 the right to overrule the will of America's citizens. It's Rush's belief that America wants and needs
 more armed federal troops patrolling your bedroom, to ensure that nothing happens that might
 outrage the public, as though the public had a right to be in your damn bedroom in the first place.

 Can you see the irony?

 We're all niggers on the Bush Plantation. Our warmongering overlords were appointed over the
 will of the people, which Rush loved with all his heart. But now that the same group has ruled in
 favor of fewer armed federal troops inside your nedroom, the vulgar Pigboy thinks the judges have
 gone too far, and voted their opinion rather than doing what Rush thinks the Nazi right want.

 Hey Vulgarro, remember Dec 12, 2000?
 Bush's personal judges decided, on a whim, that they'd rather the fella with fewer votes and the
 funny Florida ballot-handling should be appointed so they ordered the ballot counting stopped.

 Rush thought Bush's personal court was well in their rights then, but he doesn't think that anymore.
 How conveeeeeenient it is for Rush to cheery pick which rulings were legal and which ones weren't.

 Bartcop still alive

 My arm has been hurting for 6-7 weeks.
 I'm a sissy on pain, and a long-ass, nagging pain just doesn't fit into my plans.

 It's my first impression that the silly anti-tennis-elbow brace is a placebo.
 After seven weeks of pain, I greedily chose to get the pain relief  lydocain/cortizone shot,
 so I called the Doc.  They greeted me with, "You owe us money!" so I told her about
 my dot.com startup troubles and the patience it takes to grow one.

 I never liked shots.
 I asked Doc Sharif how many shots I would need.

 ha ha
 He has Clintonian skills.

 He said, "There's only one shot," so my Catholic C-Prompt said to myself, "Maybe there is a God?"
 Then he said, "...but I'll need to 'pepper' your elbow."

 Pepper?    ... Pepper?

 If it's not on some Black Angus New York strip steak or some freshly picked Bixby corn, who cares about pepper?
 I quickle ascertained that I was about to become be the victim of multiple stabbings.

 Sidebar:
 I've been doing twice-a-year bloodtakings for cholesterol,  (Last reading, 180 - thank you...)  so I kinda got
 used to watching a stunted metal plow ripping thru my sensitive veins for blood tests.

 This was different.
 Shortly after the "pepper," talk,.the first needle tea-bagged me.
 That's OK, I'm a man. I can take a little prick.
 (I threw that in for my stalkers, who are masturbating to each and every paragraph of  bartcop.com
 Do you know how many e-mails I get per day from tragi-wankers who live and breathe  bartcop.com?)
 I mean, I guess in some weird way I'm flattered, but they really need to spend more time with their families
 and my Tom Delay really, really, really needs to be the last thing on their minds..

 So, the first shot goes in with a nasty prick. I expected that.
 The second shot, just guessing, went right thru the part that's causing all the stinging pain.
 When an 11-on-the-pain-scale, bolt of lightning hits me, I'm not the type to scream..
 I let out a slight, "NNnnnnnngaow"  (Seriously, two capital n's)

 Longtime readers might recall that time I broke my pinky toe on an ottoman leg.
 That was a whole different kind of pain - a dull, throbbing nuisance, but certainly not panic-inducing.

 So I'm sitting there, and the second my brain hit that high jump pain bar, I felt blood start to rush out of my head.
 I knew I was going into a major dive and there was no stopping it.   By now, Doc Sharif is on shot 4, and I don't care,
 but I know I'm going to be unconscious in the next few seconds to I told Sharif, "I'd better get on that floor before I fall."

 Sidebar:
 This reminds me of Dim Son.
 He was watching football and eating pretzels, ...and choked on them, ...and passed out and hit his head?
 When you're about to faint, trust me, you get notice.    I knew for a good 30-40 seconds that I wasn't going to make it.
 That's 30 seconds Bush had to stumble towards the room Pickles was in and wave his hands wildly and point to his throat.
 At the very least, he could've sat down like I did, and avoid the tomoatoe* sized blooper on his face.
 I don't think we were told the truth about that any more than we were told the truth about Iraq..
 

 It was certainly a first-time experience. I was laying there, it was extra creepy.
 As I teetered (first time I ever used that word) on the brink of consciousness, the room seemed to get
 darker and the son of a bitch was spinning like a Bill O'Reilly FOX Special on Jesse Jackson.

 As I lay there (only geeks know lay, lain, laid, layed) time flashed by me like Spock in "City on the Edge of Forever."
 Doc Sharif didn't seem too startled by my reaction to,... perhaps, ...the sharpest pain I've felt in 30 years

 Now and then, he'd say, "You OK?"
 I'd I'd lie, "Yeah, I'm getting stronger by the second."
 My forehead broke out in a sweat, and I felt like I might get sick, but that never happened.

 Eventually, I gambled that I had the strength to stand so I sat up, then turned over and I made it back in my chair.
 Doc Sharif looks at me and says, "Christ, ...you're white."      Yeah, I was whiter than Clarence Thomas.

 He said, "Well, ...take a few minutes and I'll see you next time." After a few minutes, I felt better, so I left.
 Ten hours later, when my memory calls up reminders of that needle prick,  I'm still a little light-headed.

 I never thought I could feel that kind of pain from an elbow.
 It was spooky to go from zero pain to metaphysical pain certitude in less than a second.

 Oh, and I asked him about consulting a chiropractor - he said he thought that was a great idea.
 He said if my arm is still aflame in two weeks, he'd set me up. He says they do wonders with heat, ice,
 a certain kind of massage and electrical stimulation.  That's good news, because I doubt I'll ever have
 another shot in my elbow.   .. I'm still a little dizzy...

 Bart, you wrote,

> "I'm a sissy on pain, and a long-ass, nagging pain just doesn't fit into my plans."

 Dang, you ARE a sissy.  This is the reason why men don't have children, and REALLY shouldn't be going to war.
 Case in point:  When I was a pre-teen, my mother started taking me to the doctor to see what was going on with me
 - in order to be diagnosed, I had to get bloodwork done on a regular basis.

 We're talking over 12 vials at a time, a few times a month.  Not 1-2 times a year. To make it worse,
 I am going to attempt to give birth to this little boy at the end of next month using NO DRUGS at all.
 Crazy?  Hell yeah.  But that's how tired I am of needles being poked into me - and I CERTAINLY
 don't want one in my back, thankyouverymuch.

 But at least you don't strut around pretending to be some macho asshat,
 goading everyone into more fighting and more death.

 (withheld)
 

 Once again, my unclear writing has given off a different picture than I intended
 It wasn't the shot that made me faint, the stabbing of the nerve-string of fire in my arm did it.
 It was all physical and out of my control - it's not like I saw blood and passed out..

 Bev Harris

 My comments on the Bev Harris claims started a small storm at Demo Underground,
 where they treat Bev Harris like I'd treat Shirley Manson if we ever met.

 I asked if somebody could point me to her past work - I hope to get some replies.
 I got into their forum and was uncharacteristically nice, even to the people who wrote,
 "Fuck Bart" and "He's such a dick."

  Click  Here

 I did two other things, too:  I promised that if Harris has what she claims to have,
 I would crawl on my hands and knees to kiss her feet and apologize on this page in giant red letters.

 I also bet some smart guy $100 (to the American Cancer Society) that Harris can't pull this off.
 Of course, he won't take my bet. He'd be crazy to bet that Bev's BIG scoop will bring down the Illegal Fraud.
 This is a bet I'm certain to win, guaranteed to win, but boy, I'd sure like to write that check to the ACS.

 I'd sure like to see some of Bev's PAST WORK, which means don't write and tell me you think
 Bev's a nice person who would always be upfront and accurate about her upcoming big scoops.

 ( Thursday update - Bev apparently runs blackboxvoting.com, which is linked on this page.
  I'd never visitied that site, and had no way to connect Harris to it.)

 Jobless Rate Jumps to 6.4 Percent, a Nine-Year High
  Bush says "This is all Clinton's fault," and his personal media are backing him up

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The nation's unemployment rate shot up to 6.4 percent in June, the highest level in more than nine years,
 in an economic slump that has cost nearly a million jobs in the last three months. Businesses slashed 30,000
 jobs just last month, with cuts heavily concentrated on factory assembly lines, the Labor Department reported.
 The 0.3 percentage point increase from May's 6.1 percent rate was the largest month-to-month rise since 9-11.

 Nine years ago, Clinton inherited the worst economy in sixty years - and he repaired it.

 But Bush's billionaire friends wanted to buy some bankrupt companies, and Bush knew what to do.
 First, he gave away $11,000,000,000,000 to his super-rich oil buddies, and that caused the horrific
 stock crash that has thrown millions of people out of their jobs.

 Lucky for Bush, the Democrats are "too polite" to mention any of that in the race to replace him.

 Thirty 30 months into the illegal Bush occupation, bustling, thriving companies that were worth a billion dollars
 when Clinton left office were being bought for as little as $100,000 because Bush was successful at crashing
 the economy which created "buying opportunities" for the billionaires.

 "Bush has been a great president," declared one billionaire CEO after another.
 Bush is expected to win re-election

 Bush promotes Whitewater deputies
  Liberals angry (but silent and polite) as Starr aides tapped for posts

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Despite President Bush's campaign pledge to heal the country's divisions over Clinton-era controversies,
 the administration has been doling out top legal posts to former deputies of Kenneth Starr and other
 conservative lawyers who helped fuel the Clinton impeachment effort.

 The president is reportedly set to offer a seat on the nation's second most important court to Associate
 White House Counsel Brett Kavanaugh, an author of the "Starr Report" on Clinton and Monica.
 Kavanaugh, who would be at least the fourth Starr deputy to be nominated to the federal bench.
 

 If the Senate Judiciary Democrats weren't a bunch of Bush-kissing, bean-eating Nancy boys,
 they could send Bush a letter promising to filibuster to death every nomination he brings if he
 continues to appoint these men who would destroy our right to choose our leaders.

 Subject: clear channel

 What's the best way to pre-empt a genuine, strong-willed liberal talk show network?

 Create a watered-down alternative. Stock it with voices like Alan Colmes.
 Underfund and underpromote it. Prove there's no money to be had in the market niche.

 Even the threat of such a network of talk shows will dry up potential capital,
 as the risk of entry to the market is much higher with competition like Clear Channel.
 This will make it harder to create a genuine alternative.

  Excerpt:
 The suddenly fashionable humanitarian justification for the war in Iraq is nothing more
 than yet another White House deception designed to cloak the fact that the original
 justification -- Iraq as an imminent threat -- hasn't panned out.

 Which is just too darn bad for the long-suffering souls of Congo and Liberia.

 Remember that dittohead who married my neice?

 Hey Bart,

 Okay, I am not one of those nasty types, so, I am not trying to hammer you.  Today (7/2/2003), on the radio
 show you were talking about sports.  You said something about a Florida State University quarterback who got
 into some trouble with the law.  I am not sure exactly who you said, but I think the guy you were talking about
 was Adrian McPherson, and that wasn't who you said (going from memory).  I am not trying to bash, just trying
 to help out.  Your message is too important to get bogged down on little sports things, so I am not screaming.

 Dude, that story wasn't about sports at all.    It was about a man who could've earned a Limbaugh-sized paycheck
 without being a whore, but instead he threw it all away for $3640.   ...and sex wasn't involved!!

 If he was thrown off the team because he couldn't get some coed with a skirt out of his mind, I'd say,
"There goes another one."  But he gave up probably tens-of-millions of dollars for $3540.

 Supreme tantrums

  Excerpt:
 Congratulations to the Supreme Court on its 6-3 decision in the Texas sodomy law case and to all those,
 including the gay rights groups and the American Civil Liberties Union, who have fought so long and hard
 to rid the legal system of this manifest injustice. The Sunday chat shows featured a number of curious contentions
 over this legal decision: It was interesting to see rank bigotry against gays trying to disguise itself as a legal argument ...

 Justice Scalia's intemperate outburst -- he said the Court has signed on to "the so-called homosexual agenda" --
 brings up the question: What the heck is the homosexual agenda? I hear people on the right talk about it all the time,
 but as I far as I know, gay groups have not signed on to any master plan or series of proposals. Has anybody seen one?
 There are a lot of gay Republicans: I should think all the gays would have a hard time agreeing on an agenda. I suspect
 the "homosexual agenda" is like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. "

  Margaret Carlson has written an ugly new book.
  We think it goes back to a choice:
 MARGARET’S CHOICE (PART 1)!
   saw it on   dailyhowler.com

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Margaret Carlson’s new “book” really isn’t one. Although you’d never know it from reading the jacket,
 or from reading the six fawning blurbs-on-the-back, Carlson’s new volume—Anyone Can Grow Up—is
 really a collection of columns from Time, stitched together with a few short original chapters. The first—
“Personal or Family Matters”—is the longest new chapter, at 26 pages. Carlson also offers 18 new pages
 about George Bush, and ten new pages on Bill, Hill and Al. Most of the book is those tired old columns,
 held together by these new, scripted thoughts.

 And Carlson is brilliantly scripted. Was HRC surprised in August 1998, when her husband fessed up about
 his affair with Lewinsky? All pundits know the Hard Pundit Law: They are required to mock this fool notion.
 But Carlson was already spinning the point one month before Living History appeared! The Clintons headed
 off for a Martha’s Vineyard vacation shortly after the president confessed. Mrs. Clinton seemed angry and upset.
 But then, as all Clinton-haters must do, Carlson explains just how fake it all was:
 

 Margaret Carlson has become another Dennis Miller.
 I have a special place in my heart for back-stabbing, turncoat traitors.
