And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."

Excerpt:
Latin Americans have a dismal opinion of
Bush after he ignored world opinion to wage war in Iraq,
and against a backdrop of mistrust over
U.S. aims in pushing for regional free trade, a poll shows.
In Brazil, Latin America's largest country, 98 percent gave the U.S. leader a negative mark.
In Mexico, just 5 percent gave Bush positive grades.
"I think there are questions as to whether
the United States is a good trade partner or not, but I think
there's also a broader context," said John
Zogby (R-ForSale), president of pollsters Zogby International.
"This is part of the fallout over the war in Iraq.
Not only are we not a good trade partner but we are also
a country that's willing to go it alone
on a major venture and not try to win trust with our traditional allies."
Who do other countries hate us so much?
Because they have a FREE PRESS and they've been told the
truth about the Illegal Oil Hardon.

Subject: the truth, or, as the GOP likes to call it, the "negatives"
Excerpt:
What I wouldn't give to turn on
the nightly news and see a clip of Bush saying how
the press only focuses on the negatives
and not the positives, such as schools and
hospitals being opened, and electricity
being turned on.
And then to have Tom Brokaw or Dan Rather
or whoever say, flatly and truthfully,
"Unfortunately, opening schools and hospitals
and turning on the electricity were never
cited as justifications for going to war
in Iraq. Nuclear weapons were. Those, of course,
have not been found."
I swear to Christ, twenty years from now
I'll still be hearing some dipshit talk about
how we went to Iraq and opened up the schools.

Attack on U.S. Tank Kills 2 GIs in Iraq
Excerpt:
Two American soldiers were killed when
their Abrams battle tank was damaged by resistance fighters,
as the number of U.S. soldiers killed
in combat since major fighting ended topped the wartime total.
The latest deaths bring to 115 the number
of American soldiers killed in combat in Iraq since Swaggerboy
declared an end to major fighting May 1.
Defense Department figures - updated on its Web site Tuesday
- show 114 U.S. soldiers died in the active
combat phase, which began March 20.

"When I started criticizing Bush he was at
90%. Now he's at 49%."
-Paul Begala, responding to Republican claims that exposing
Bush's incompetence
and defective character undermines Democrats,
as seen on mediawhoresonline
Courtney wacky on the junk - just like Rush
Excerpt:
Los Angeles prosecutors today charged Courtney
Love with illegally possessing Hydrocodone and Oxycodone.
A two-count felony complaint, a copy of
which you'll find below, was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court (the drug
charges stem from Love's apparent October
2 overdose at her Beverly Hills home). It is unclear if officers found
the
painkillers in the 39-year-old singer's
home or actually on Love, who surrendered to cops this morning and was
later
released on $20,000 bail. Love is already
facing a misdemeanor count of being under the influence of "opiates and
cocaine,"
a charge stemming from an incident that
occurred hours before her OD. She was arrested after police were summoned
to an L.A. home where Love had allegedly
broken several windows. (2 pages)
So, the rocker gets arrested and the Republican
gets a free pass?
Why isn't the vulgar junkie charged with
possessing Hydrocodone and Oxycodone?
The fact that he's addicted to those drugs
means his body possesses massive quantities of both.
Where is the justice?

no, but the air was hard to breathe

retelling a quote from Al Gore Attribution
Subject: Peak Oil
I think what "Mark Berns" means by 'peak oil' is this:
There is a finite amount of oil in the world.
Much, if not all, the easy oil to get has
been gotten.
As more oil is taken, oil becomes more
scarce, and the cost of finding new oil increases.
Thus, the cost of oil increases
Guy F
When we run out of oil, the world will be forced to use other,
cheaper, cleaner energy.
If the winner of the 2000 election had been allowed to take office,
we'd be headed there now.
But BIG oil spent hundreds of millions to force the Unelected
Clown into office, and he make sure
America stays addicted to dirty, blood-spilling oil to pad their
coffers to make the rich richer.

Subject:Liberal Media
I've been waiting and waiting to listen
and view to Al Gore's commentary.
I heard a short sentence on TV that said
in effect, Gore would be TV. as talk show host.
Where are they, i.e., Donahue, Gore, Huffington,
Ivins, MMoore..?
None are heard. (Donahue was great, but
alas, too liberal for the media advertisers?)
Result propaganda from the right-wing,
it works, money, government marriage to military,
99% of "communication" are mirroring the
Fascists in WW11. . Still waiting for a liberal voice....
Recently changed my voting registration
from Independent to Democrat. Can't stomach what
has happened in this country in the last
few years. I'm 75 years old. Obviously, would like to see
and hear at least ONE (Donahue was dropped)
liberal voice before I leave the world to an apparent
bunch of sheep, who, like the German people
supported Adolf.
Oh well...I do have Social Security so far.

Up to 15,000 people killed in Bush's fake war
Excerpt:
"As many as 15,000 Iraqis were killed in the
first days of America's invasion and occupation of Iraq,
Up to 4,300 of the dead were civilian noncombatants.
The report, by Project on Defence Alternatives,
offers the most comprehensive account so
far of how many Iraqis died...
Many of the recent wars have been fought
with the notion of a new type of warfare that produce very low
civilian casualties. What we see here is
that in fact we don't have that magic bullet," he said.
'In this war in particular we see that improved
capabilities in precision attacks have been used to pursue
more ambitious objectives rather than achieve
lower numbers of civilian dead.'"
"They
was just ragheads and sand niggers - who cares?
Fuck 'em - we took 'em out!"

I'm fighting to get this issue up before the solar blast hits at noon Eastern today.
Excerpt:
Most ground zero workers still suffer from
health problems two years after Sept. 11
and many do not have health insurance or
job security, doctors told a congressional panel Tuesday.
Several of the workers testified at a Manhattan
hospital before the committee, saying they had trouble
breathing, suffered from post-traumatic
stress disorder and no longer had the strength to do their old jobs.
"I can't tell you how hard it is living
like this," said David Rapp, a construction worker who spent five
months at the World Trade Center site and
now always carries an oxygen tank and uses three inhalers.
"The fear of not being able to take
my next breath is unbearable."
It all goes back to Bush, but the media and the GOP are still
blaming Clinton for this.
Bush threatened the Taliban and put bin Laden in a "All in" position.
Bush allowed this to happen after
another month-long vacation, then he lied and had the EPA announce
that the air was perfectly fine to breathe.
When Hillary and Schumer called Bush on his lies that keep on
killing like a murderous Energizer Bunny,
the GOP and Bush's good puppy press said it was "another
example of Hillary's hatred."
Bart , you wrote in the Oct. 28th issue
>"War department" sounded too much like Klingons drunk on Pon Far.
Pon Far is not a beverage imbibed by anyone,
much less Klingons, but is the sexual awakenings that
every Vulcan male goes through every seven
years, sometimes with dire results. I know this is a minor
point that only a dedicated 'trekie' or
trivia nut like myself would notice. Keep up the good work!

Subject: Musings about George
Love your site.
I have been wondering for a while:
Does george go down to Andrews AFB to meet
the incoming C-17 every night?
The hospital flight from Ramstein with
the critically wounded bound for Walter Reed?
The ones missing arms and legs?
It seems the body armor protects the torso,
but not the arms, legs, hands, feet.
Does george go down to Dover AFB to meet
the hearse flight?
The one bringing back the boys in body
bags bound for home?
Peace,
Ken & Becky
I know Bush has been to Walter Reed Hospital
at least once,
but you won't see him at any funerals of
the brave soldiers he got killed.
He's too busy emptying the Treasury and
playing Game Boy.
Barry Crimmins
Excerpt:
Don't you find the White House's new "I
can't believe we have to revisit these issues about the war
simply because we have been caught lying
at every turn" campaign a bit difficult to swallow?
This war is about as defensible as Bush's
FDA's challenge of Illinois' plan to supply seniors with
cheaper prescription drugs from Canada.
The FDA implied that Canadian drugs might
not be as safe as US prescriptions of the exact same products.
Isn't this how the protection racket works?
The thug shows up and says. "I would hate if something happened
because of your unwise decision not to
carry my product at my price."
Where's free trade when we need it?

Quotes
"The assertion by the President that daily
attacks on US troops and innocent Iraqi civilians is 'progress' is ridiculous
and just as false and misleading as
his prewar statements about the threat posed to the United States by Iraq.
"Mr. President, 353 dead American troops is
not progress. Thousands of American soldiers injured is not progress.
And, the daily attacks on U.S. troops
and innocent Iraqi civilians is not progress.
"Today, at his press conference, the President
had a chance to clarify his earlier remarks. Instead of taking
advantage of the opportunity, the President
did nothing more than continue his Administration's spin."

Subject: As heard on C-SPAN
Excerpt:
-Ike (R-Opportunist)
promised to lower that rate, but reneged after defeating Stevenson.
-Not until LBJ was that rate lowered (ultimately
to 70%)
-Reagan lowered it to 50%, in his last
year to 38%
-Clinton's rate was 39.6%
Quotes
"There is no way this administration can walk
away from its responsibility for 9-11. You can't blame
something like this on lower level
intelligence officers, however badly they communicated memos
with each other. ... The buck rests
with the commander in chief, right on George W. Bush's desk.
Strong rhetoric in the aftermath (of
9/11) is no substitute for wise leadership."
--Wesley Clark, giving us
a preview of his debate with the Pinhead Murderer? Attribution
Excerpt:
Bush has consistently expressed support
for Medicare, saying, "Medicare is the binding commitment of a caring society."
But the President's own administrator of
the program called it "an unbelievable disaster," and told Congress earlier
this year
that his Medicare plan would, in fact,
move up to 50% of seniors into private plans.
Bush's plan requires the purchase of prescription
drugs through private insurers. A new study shows that drug prices
could be negotiated at 40% savings below
retail if Medicare were able to offer a prescription drug benefit directly.
Subject: Correction to your site
At this link, http://www.bartcop.com/convictions.htm
you list convictions of Raegan and Bush I people,
but lists that no one was convicted in
connection with the Whitewater investigation.
In reality, there was 12 convictions related
to Whitewater and there are still three outstanding convictions.
It is fine to show the bad things about
the President you don't like and just forget to mention the things
about the one you do like, but to say there
was no convictions in relation to Whitewater is just plain wrong.
By the way, also during the Clinton administration,
there was six convictions on another independent counsil
dealing with Agriculture Secretary Mike
Espey.
So much for the thoery that all the "bad
guys" worked for Raegan or Bush.
http://www.thisnation.com/question/034.html
I really suggest you check this site out.
It lists the convictions of all administration people since
the Independent Counsil was created in
1978, whether Democrat or Republican.

Bo, there is a difference between what I
published and what you read.

no one was convicted in connection with the Whitewater investigation."
That's not what was said:
Here is what was said:
Clinton administration officials
indicted and/or convicted in connection with Whitewater:
0
Starr convicted some Arkansans of various
non-Clinton crimes.
Whitewater came up empty for Ken Starr.
Clinton
administration officials indicted and/or convicted in connection with Travel
Office allegations:
0
The Tracel Office "scandal" came up empty for Starr.
Clinton
administration officials indicted and/or convicted in connection with alleged
abuse of FBI files:
0
Starr had to admit that was just an accident.
Clinton
administration officials indicted and/of convicted in connection with Lewinsky

0
Sorry, Kennyboy struck out there, too.
Wiuth Reagan and Bush, it was different.

Subject: Justified Wars
T.A. Spina (Oct. 22 letter, "Democrats'
wars") goes through the list of Democrats
who have started wars, taking umbrage with
the term "Republican warmongers."
Getting involved in wars meant to stop madmen
(World War II) and genocide (Kosovo)
cannot be compared to starting a war for
oil, sending young kids off to die while you
sit back home playing golf, and telling
terrorists to "bring it on."
Republicans are, indeed, warmongers.
They love war, just so long as they're
not the ones doing the fighting.

Bartcop, you wrote:

What's the reference to peach trucks? Is
that from the legend about the Eat a Peach album
and Duane Allman's motorcycle wreck?
The story that Duane hit a peach truck and the album title
alludes to that isn't true, but those who
have heard the account will understand what you mean.
It's still a good cautionary statement.
Those who haven't or don't know about the band,
Duane and the album, and therefore wouldn't
get it, might wanna cruise over to snopes.

Call
me a Bush Hater
by Molly Ivins
Excerpt:
"One thing I acknowledge about the right is that
they're much better haters than liberals are. Your basic
liberal--milk of human kindness flowing
through every vein, and heart bleeding over everyone from the
milk-shy Hottentot to the glandular obese--is
pretty much a strikeout on the hatred front. Maybe further
out on the left you can hit some good righteous
anger, but liberals, and I am one, are generally real wusses.
Guys like Rush Limbaugh figured that out
a long time ago--attack a liberal and the first thing he says is,
"You may have a point there.'"

Dear Mr. Trowbridge,
Thank you for contacting Red Lobster.

I will let our Advertising Department know

We certainly value your patronage, and look forward to serving you in the future.

Geoff,
That is how a customer service
rep is supposed to act.
That condescending snot at Avacor could learn
how to do his job from Ami, here.
It's just a wild guess, but
I think Ami is asking what the meaning of the word, "is,"
is.
I've heard plenty of RL commercials on Rush's
hate show, but maybe *at the current time*
they have no promotions running with the vulgar
junkie.
Next time they run a "Shrimp Special," I'll
be listening for them.
Obviously they knew he was

so her "We don't
