One of the networks could hire SNL alumnus Kevin "Mr. Subliminal"
Nealon to narrate the Inauguration:
"The Bush family is on the dais now (majorleagueassholescorruptionoutcorruptionin).
There's a proud former President Bush

and his wife Barbara ("rhymeswith'witch'").
Just to their left is their son JEB!

Columba (smuggler).
To their right is their son Neil (corruptmultimillionaire).
And here comes Texas Gov. George W.

Scalia!
I would like to propose a new word for the English language.
Scalia (v.) To show obvious and blatant favoritism, regardless of the
cost or consequences, in order to further one's own personal or
political agenda.
"There were many qualified entrants, but she Scaliaed her son right
into the position, even though he was barely able to do the job."
If we all start using it, it is sure to catch on. (Sort of like
MacGyvering something together.) And what better way to remember the
man who stole the presidency, and stomped on the very idea of Democracy?

Subject: Suggestion for protest
Dear BartCop,
I love the column! Here is my two cents worth of an idea for a
protest
of the coup.
First, fill out a new w-4 claiming as many exemptions as possible so
that NO taxes are withheld from your pay.
Second, when tax time 2001 rolls around, everyone refuse to pay, but
enclose the following letter to the IRS;
Dear IRS,
Since I cannot, in good faith, send money to an illegitimate government,
I
am refusing to pay my taxes. To pay taxes to such an institution
would
admit to the legallity and legitimacy of a Federal Government that
I do
not recognize. Once a legitimate government has been restored
to the
United States I will be happy to contribute my fair share.
Until such time as this occurs, I cannot justify giving my hard earned
money to criminals posing as heads of state.
Sincerely,
(Your Name Here)
A Concerned American
Then lock the door, store up supplies and ammo, cause you know the
jackboots will come a thumpin'.

In response to your reply that Al Gore did not fight for this election
I would think that it would not have mattered if he had. The
election
was stolen from us and anything he said would have been misconstrued.
It was rigged.
How can we possibly expect a just outcome from an injust procedure?

It ain't over 'til Barbara Bush sings
The top story on democrats.com noted that every Senator and/or
Representative has the right question the validity of the ballots from
any state. I would suggest that the great (yet suprisingly ineffectual)
Patrick Moynihan (D-estroying our finest P.O. so that the hordes from
Whitman-land can have a nice entrance/exit) could lead the charge.
Since he graciously gave his seat to Hillary, he has nothing to lose.
Another
good candidate is the wonderfully liberal intellectual Paul Wellstone
(D-Minnesota). And the Congressional Black Caucus certainly has the
right to question the rampant disenfanchisement
down south which led to this mess.

Subject: But..
BartCop,
You suggested that, "True, but he didn't get a knockout. Handled
correctly, I seriously think he could've beaten Smirk up so badly in
those debates that Smirk might've said, "No mas - I just don't want
it this
badly" and left the stage. As I've said, his total surrender to Smirk
in the debate rules cost him the election. Even being nice, he could've
said,
"George, name the members of NATO," and when Smirk said he didn't know,
Gore could've looked in the camera and said, "America, it's important
to have competent people in charge." It would've been so
goddamn easy, but Gore refused to fight."
BartCop, he *did* that. He said, "Do you agree with the Supreme
Court?"
"Your own web page says you are wrong about that!"
"Lebanon was good policy?!?!?"
And what the fuck happened? The impartial undecideds allll said
that Bush won.
The whore pundits alllll explained how Gore lost because he was
so mean.
Lehrer said, "Well, Governor, let's move on now."
The whores are all spreading for Murdoch, Moon & Co.
Gore didn't have a chance.
Speaking of whores, did you hear the Pigboy explain how Whitman, Powell
and Rice will all spread 'em if they disagree with the Real Dub?
When
he sez get to the back of the bus, they'll just say, "Yassuh."

PS. I recently acquired a DVD copy of The Bridge on the River Kwai.
For you younger folks, the climactic scene is when Obi Wan looks at
the
beautiful bridge he built for the enemy and realizes it might not have
been a good idea. He looks up and says, "Oh my God; what have
I done?"
I keep picturing the Naderites in FL behaving exactly the same way.
Too

I have a suggestion for bartcop readers.
Everytime Bush does something that Gore would never do, like say, strip
mine Alaskan wildlife, we flood Nader and Moore with e-mails and
letters asking if they still think Gore and Bush are "identical."
Hell, we can start already with Bush's 1.3 trillion giveaway to his
friends.
Gore wouldn't do that. So are they still "virtually indistinguishable",

Subject: Dubya's 'advisors'
proving to be morons
Bartcop,
I'm becoming afraid again. Read this quote from Condi Rice, our new
National Security Advisor:
``What Russia needs is to get its own house in order, to have a rule
of
law, to have tax policies that work, to do something to encourage
entrepreneurs in Russia,'' Rice said Friday in an interview with the
``Bloomberg Politically Speaking'' radio program with Paul Alexander
and John Batchelor.
What an idiot! She hasn't even taken power, and she's lecturing Russia
like a school marm! This, after her lover's brother STOLE an election
in th U.S., in complete defiance to the rule of law! I think they're
trying
to restart the Cold War to divert attention from Smirk's coming recession.
We're in BIG trouble with rank amatuers like this in power.......
J. Mark Batchelor
The United States of America is the only superpower left, and what we
do
here at home effects the entire world. If anyone disagrees with that
statement,
they should probably quit reading now. Otherwise...Consider this:
Somewhere in some third-world rathole, there's a guy locked up in a
filthy,
dark cell. He's there because he said or did something that prompted
someone
in power to say he's an "enemy of the state." He's what we call a "political
prisoner". For the sake of discussion, let's say that he's a pro-democracy
guy, a guy that (in theory at least) the US would consider a good guy.
Well, they just tightened his shackles. They just sealed that little
crack
in his cell wall that let in a little light. His chances of seeing
his wife and kids
again just got a little slimmer. More realistically, they just evaporated.
Before George Bush Jr. was installed, they people in charge knew that
they
could only torture him so far, that they could only trample his human
rights
just so much before the US cracked down in some way. The US...the guardian
(albeit an imperfect one) of human rights and liberty. US representatives
were always there...in the U.N., and on the various world stages where
human rights issues are debated, asking the questions, pointing the
finger,
pushing for sanctions or intervention if necessary. For all their
sanctimonious bullshit, US representatives spoke from a position of
inherent truth, a position of legitimacy when it came to human rights.
Sure,
they could be argued with, but the arguments always fell apart in the
face
of one irrefutable fact - we don't do that to people in the US.
We walk
the talk...and we could wag our national finger in their faces and
say,
"Behave"...or else.
Maybe we didn't win enough battles. Sure, there was still too
much abuse
of human rights, but one thing was for sure -- the US kept the bar
HIGH.
Now, when we try to preach about democracy and voting rights, we'll
first have to fight our way out of the crowd and into the pulpit we
used to
occupy. We no longer have the high ground, and as a result, the hopes
for a world with more freedom of speech, more freedom of self-determination,
more equality and justice, more human decency have grown a lot dimmer.
There was a time when it would've been a near-impossible thing to debate
the US on the question of human rights and win. Not now. They might
not
win, but they can obfuscate the truth and blow smoke with accusations
of
hypocrisy and illegitimacy, to the point that they'll at least checkmate
us.
Freedom lacks a legitimate champion, perhaps for the first time since
our nation was born, and it makes me want to cry.

Hi Bartcop,
I have three predictions for the W years.
Hillary Clinton will write another book called "It Takes a Village Idiot"
about her service in the Senate during the W presidency.
The statesmanship for the W administration will come from General Powell's colon.
W's inauguration ceremony will include the arrest of thousands of
protesters for throwing bananas at the podium.
