Quotes
"I hate George Bush and everything he stands
for and this war of vanity.
I'm sick of bombs. It didn't do anything
over there and it didn't do anything over here."
-- Don Marshburn, 72, a disabled Navy veteran at an anti-war protest,
World
Demands Iraq Troop Pullout
Up to 100,000 protesters turned out nationwide
Saturday to mark the first anniversary
of Bush's illegal war to steal Iraq's assets
and call for the removal of American troops.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg estimated the crowd
at about 30,000, but organizers said
later that number had grown to more than
100,000.
In Cincinnati, several hundred people gathered
in a downtown park to call for a
U.S. troop withdrawal. Claire Mugavin,
clad in a biohazard suit, pretended to look
for weapons of mass destruction beneath
benches and garbage cans.
"We figure they're not in Iraq so we figured we'd come look for them in Fountain Square."
Dueling Quotes
"I want America to be the leading force for
peace, freedom, prosperity and security."
-- Bill Clinton, fund raising
letter to Bart
"Fuck Saddam, we're taking him out - and screw
the United Nations."
-- the vulgar warmonger, destroying
America's reputation
Excerpt:
President Aleksander Kwasniewski, a key
U.S. ally, said Thursday that Poland was "misled"
about Saddam's WMD and was considering
withdrawing troops from Iraq several months early.
The remarks came as polls show about half
of Poles are opposed to involvement in Iraq and after
deadly bombings in Madrid - triggered fears
of a terror attack on Polish soil.
Quotes
"The Iraq war hasn't led to a more stable world.
Let's stick to the facts:
Terrorism didn't exist in Iraq before
the war; today, that country is one
of the main centers of terrorism worldwide."

Subject: The Tiger Woods bet
Now to the business at hand, the golf bet.
We all don't live in Oklahoma.
What kind of sucker bet is that?
The sap gets Woods and you get the field
in an even money proposition.
Let's show some stones and make this interesting.
I'll take Woods in the Bay Hill Classic
and you can take any two golfers in the
field. Low 72 hole score wins. Even money for a yard.
(that's a $100 for you Okies).
If you win I'll send you the $100.
If I win give me the page for a few months,
you can keep the radio.
ha ha
Tony
Tony, that's not the purpose of the bet.
Generally when I make a bet, it's not about making money,
it's about forcing the other guy to admit I'm right.
The purpose of this bet is forcing the hysterical "Tiger is God"
crowd
to admit it's very, very, very unlikely that he'll win on any
given day.
You're smart enough to know that's a horrible bet for an Eldrick fan.
A culture war waged over the wrong things
Excerpt:
We've found ourselves in the middle of
a culture war and, as usual, it's being waged over a lot of the wrong things.
There was plenty to be appalled about during
that halftime show - and it just starts with billing Jackson and
Timberlake as huge stars - but a short
glimpse of a breast is far down the list. The problem with that halftime,
and with TV, radio, video games and all
kinds of media, is not nudity; it's indecency. Genuine indecency.
MTV plays to the worst, most vulnerable
sensibilities of teens. For boys, MTV pushes crude and misogynist role
models.
For girls, the message is to be the looks-obsessed,
prematurely sexual imp embodied by Britney Spears or even Janet Jackson.
Now we're talking indecent. Make kids feel
bad about themselves or about each other, so you can sell them things.
Push them toward mean-spirited behavior
and heartless, even cruel sex so they'll be game for every cheap summer
movie and in perpetual need of beauty products.
Great column - great point.
MTV isn't in the music business any more than the NY Whore Times
is in the news business.
Both exist to whore for that extra nickle for the stockholders
and screw the music/truth

Please re-mention "Fortunate Son" by J.H. Hatfield.
Insiders in the Bush campaign threatened
Hatfield's wife and little girl.
With his career in shambles, his publishing
contracts broken, his finances devastated,
Hatfield mixed valium and booze and killed
himself in a hotel room in Arkansas.
This story should not die with him.

The Damage Done
Excerpt:
It's easy to send soldiers off to war.
It's a lot harder to face them when they
come home.
Hey, Bush is making billions from this war, and he doesn't have
time
to face the soldiers who sacrificed limbs and eyes for his personal
greed.

Excerpt:
Within twenty-four hours, word of the urinals
had spread to NOW, who encouraged its members to
contact Virgin Atlantic CEO Richard Branson
and "tell him to GROW UP!" Amid the uproar from
women's groups, compounded by rumors of
a protest planned for today in New York City, Virgin
announced its decision not to install the
controversial fixtures.
Riordan said, "The urinals themselves were
the idea of a female designer and we were therefore
surprised by the reaction. However, Virgin
Atlantic always aims to listen to our passengers and the
general public and as a result we will
not install the urinals in the bathroom at our new JFK clubhouse."

Excerpt:
In the aftermath of Sept. 11, Bush ordered
his then top anti-terrorism adviser to look for
a link between Iraq and the attacks, despite
being told there didn't seem to be one.
The charge comes from the advisor, Richard Clarke,
"Frankly," he said, "I find it outrageous that
the president is running for re-election on the grounds
that he's done such great things about
terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months,
when maybe we could have done something
to stop 9/11. Maybe. We'll never know."
Clarke went on to say, "I think he's
done a terrible job on the war against terrorism." .
Meanwhile, the Democrats stand mute as Bush brags about his "great
record" as president.
How is it possible that an entire party can be spineless
wimps and scared bunnies?
You've seen it written here a hundred times - the Democrats won't
save us from Bush.
The Republicans who can't stand him will be the ones to say,
"Mr.
President, you've gone too far!!"
How did I get in a party without sac?
Subject:The earlier observation by a Bartfan seems to be true...
I also wonder if you don't have some member
of your "volunteer" staff that is a secret rabid Zionist
who is effectively censoring all anti-Zionist
correspondence directed to you?
You seem to be so woefully ignorant of the
Zionist colonial quest that has been happening against
Palestine for more than 100 years now.
By your own past responses, it seems that you blame the
Palestinians more for the violence in Palestine
(and when I say Palestine, I include ALL the territory
stolen by the Zionists since at least 1948)
while apparently refusing to attribute most all of that violence
to the Zionists who started first by stealing
an indigenous people's land by way of colonial insider trading
and outright genocidal ethnic cleansing.
<tons of snippage>
Dan D
Dan, haven't you heard?
I hate the Jews - or, that's what half my mail says.
The other half asks why I'm a blood-thirsty Zionist killer.
You people (both sides) are whack.
I'll bet you go to the zoo and say, "That
bear is a Zionist."
I'll bet you walk thru a park and say,
"That tree hates Palestinians."
Confession: I have been to Zion
National Park - does that mean anything?
I used to be annoyed by these idiotic accusations, but now they
amuse me.
BTW, apparently it's an insult to call Jews "Zionists," but I
don't know why.
What I do know is you and your perceived enemies put the
"C" in crazy.
I read about a survey - one third
of computer users have stopped using e-mail because of spam.
Bill Gates says going to pay-per-e-mail
is the only way to stop spam and I agree.
A penny per e-mail would solve a lot of
problems in this world.
Those endless joke e-mails that people
send and re-send 1,000 times would at least slow down,
the multi e-mails might even stop (sometimes
people send me the same message to all six addresses)
and certainly the million-at-a-time spammers
would have to stop.
Businesses would have no problem paying
a penny per e-mail.
You should have no problem with this either,
so why fight this?
I imagine everyone will disagree with me on this, and I'd like to hear your opinion, if you have one.
Remember, the topic is not
"Should e-mails remain free?"
The topic is "How to stop spammers."
Soon, that one third figure might go to
one half.
Once that happens, won't we just lose e-mail
as a communications tool?

Subject:NAFTA = Bad
Dear Bart,
Sure, NAFTA is bad for America's workers
& economy (just as making WVa's min wage $1.50/hour
would be bad for Ohio's workers & economy)
What?
...but BOTH Pres Bushes, Clinton and Kerry
all backed it (because they're politicians who depend on the rich
for contributions). The ONLY person who
came out against NAFTA vigilantly was crazy Ross Perot.
That is why I voted for him.
I don't have the facts at my fingertips,
but Ross Perot greased the palms of Texas politicians
and got some airport that he owns/uses
declared duty-free so he just bought extra protection.
You really voted for Perot?
At least Kerry has recognized his error
(Bush calls it "waffling"... whatever) and has vowed to rescind
the parts that allow companies to export
jobs to countries with slave labor conditions. I can't wait. (rolls eyes)
Compared to America, isn't every other country guilty of "slave labor conditions?"
Not shipping jobs overseas is NOT anti-trade
and CAN be done, but i doubt anyone in corporate America
will show the gov't how and i doubt even
more their ability (or desire) to figure it out.
In about 100 days, I'll be knee-deep in fresh, sweet Bixby corn.

Subject: Woods' streaks only add to his legacy
I used to love your website and everything
you talked about, however when you open your mouth
about Golf your ignorance on the subject
is glaring.
So, my opinion of Eldrick didn't match yours
so you're dumping me like an elected Democrat dumps his president?
You have lost all credibility with me with your continued childish attacks on Tiger Woods and his golfing ability.
My credibility with you lasted as long as
I said everything you wanted to hear.
The minute our opinions differed, you felt
all jilted and chose to abondone our friendship?
You know so little about golf its so blatantly obvious.
That statement is true and I'm damn proud
of it.
I can't give you the square feet of a soccer
field, either.
If its his politics you don't like say so and stick to that.
I have said so, a few dozens times, but
I can't state my very valid reasons for disliking him every damn issue.
His golf is unmatched by anyone ever.
About your bet, Golf isn't a betting sport
without odds.
Tiger only wins a bit over 20% of the time.
So, he's 80 percent loser and people still
fawn over him like he's the Second Coming.
Dude - we disagree.
This is a sports thing.
You like The Babe, I like Hank.
Plus the odds of winning the same tournament 5x in a row are staggering.
So why didn't he win a major last year or
so far this year?
Vijay Singh won four last year -
maybe - who cares? - why not worship him?
Now go ahead and twist this into Tiger sucks
and don't forget to read the attached article
listing Tigers top ten accomplishments.

If you had sent the URL I would've published
that.
They NEVER send the URL.
I've lost readers over Ellen Degeneres,
over John Wayne, over Ted Nugent, over Michael Jackson etc.
Why can't people understand that I'm not
you and you're not me?
If I like U2 and you don't, that doesn't mean either of us suck.
If I think Eldrick is a pathetic whore and
Whitey's useful and eager tool,
so why can't you just say, "Bart's
a nut," and enjoy the rest of the web
page?
If I watch Tiger miss four foot putts and
still call him, "The Greatest,"
I'm just another fawning fan..
I write what I think, and sometimes
people say "How dare you?"

Sucker-punched
by George Bush
by Jane Stillwater
Excerpt:
Recently I went on a tour bus with a bunch
of senior citizens. This trip was a pivotal point in my political
education!
All I did was mention...that I thought
George Bush had stolen the 2000 election and...Holy cow! Sixteen
irate little old ladies
immediately attacked me with umbrellas!
Were it not for my daughter Ashley's quick thinking, I would not even be
here to tell the tale.
Americans just seem to LOVE getting sucker-punched
by George Bush. Cite unemployment statistics to them?
Line up facts about Bush's close alliances
with, say, the bin Ladin family or Enron? THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED!
Subject: Why I subscribed to BartCop Radio
I could never understand why my views of
life were so different from many of my relatives and friends. We all grew
up with
(I thought) the same influences, yet many
of my friends and relatives had an illogical hatred of the Best President
I have ever known.
I couldn't understand their anger. I couldn't
understand how they could listen to Pigboy ad-naseum and actually believe
any of the
vomit that he spews. I was not welcome
to express my admiration of the BigDog in the homes of anyone I knew.
So I began searching for some place in the
world where someone was intelligent enough to see the hypocricy of the
impeachment.
"We" all know the stories: Dr. Laura, Henry Hyde,
Ginrich, Stanley, Hutchinson and many more -- their hypocricy sickens me.
And so, one day in my anger and my pain,
I searched on the Internet for "Rush is an Idiot." I found an oasis in
the desert -- I found Bartcop.
I will never forget the next 36 hours.
I was up all night clicking and reading "previous issue" until I crashed
from exhaustion.
When I woke the next afternoon I continued
reading as far back as I could. I was addicted.
I couldn't believe what I was reading --
here was a guy who happened to live in my stupid state who did more with
an IQ of 64
than most geniuses I have ever met -- here
was a guy who could write logically and humorously at the same time --
about a topic
I felt was deadly serious. I liked his
style, confidence, humor and unflappability. He was so honest that I actually
worried for his life.
When the "treehouse" would go dark for
a few days I wondered if someone had gotten to him.
I was with him (reading his daily rants)
when he met Julie Hyatt Steele and I admired that he would work so hard
to gather
money/contributions to help her (while
keeping nothing for himself). I attended JulieFest and was inspired to
meet about 200
of you fellow Bartians -- that was awesome!
This guy Bart became my hero -- putting himself on the line like I would
never
have the guts to do. Just writing this
note stretches my courage because I honestly believe that Asscroft can
intercept this email
(even as he lies/lays in intensive care).
And then, when Bart offered to quit his
job (I still miss hearing the stories about Vic the Racist) and begin doing
this full-time
without the safety net of a real job, I
had no choice than to contribute my measely $10 a month. My $10 is a stupid
pittance
compared to what Bart is doing for all
of us. It embarrasses me that I do not give more.
I don't subscribe to get "extra content"
-- but I have heard enough snippets to know that his delivery is getting
better every day
(thanks, Tommy, you are a true professional).
I would love to see Bartcop/Tommy with their own show on the AirAmerica
network.
In summary (the crowd cheers): I subscribed
because Bartcop has guts and he says what I wish I could say and he presents
the information with humor and logic. I
read Bartcop daily. How could I NOT subscribe?
Proud to be a Bartian,
Bob from Oklahoma
My Saturday
I had a great Saturday - how 'bout you?
You see, there's this hot blonde who cuts my hair.
I go to her because she's not insane, and she does a good job.
She also believes a good scalp massage is important to a good
hair cut.
(Hey, it's the closest I'll ever get to cheating on Mrs. Bart
- cut me a break.)
When she asks "What's up?"
my recent replies often mention Las Vegas and Pokerfests.
She said she had a friend in K-Drag who has bi-weekly Texas Hold
'em tournaments.
ha ha
She held a mortgage on my attention, so I asked all the normal
questions..
Who, what, where, when, how much, and do I need to bring The
Baby?
I asked if she had told him that I've hosted poker tourneys on
the WSOP table at Binions.
She said no, so the Poker hunt was afoot.
Game was 7:30, I got there early.
I thought it would be a "tell" the others could falsely pick
up :)
It was a tiny, tiny room, the size of a bathroom, but it worked.
The host had a real poker table, I think he said
he paid $400 for it.
It was in much better shape then the table we paid for at Circus,
Circus.
So anyway, I'm in a room with 9 other dudes and everyone is real
cool.
The host, an insurance salesman named John, has free pop and
beer for everyone.
There was some wine, some Cheez-its (whatever) and everybody
was in a good mood.
The game started, and everyone started out very cautious.
Sidebar:
Because I have an IQ of 64, I think it's
more fun to name the chips "thousand."
It was a $50 buy-in, but it would suck
to say, "I'll see your $3, and raise you two more."
That's how girls play poker.
That's a little humor for the femmers who
are keeping me honest.
Manly men want to deceive themselves -
you know - like pretending they're f-ing Pirates at Disneyland.
Instead of betting $3, we lie to each other
and say, "I'll bet $3,000."
ha ha
After a few hands, it became clearer than Lake Concha.
I was going thru these guys like Sherman's hot knife thru Atlanta's
warmest butter.
Once, I got an Ace-Ten of diamonds.
The flop came up diamond, diamond, diamond.
I couldn't lose this if The Bush Monkey was my Sensei, or whatever
that Karate thing is...
I had an Ace-high flush, meaning only a full house or straight
flush could beat me,
and the flop proved a full-house was impossible and the Ace-Ten
meant he couldn't out-flank me.
He was wet sauerkraut in my hands.
Another hand, early on, I was running on fumes.
Swear to Koresh, I'm Butch and Sundance on the ledge, so the
smart move was to jump.
I was down to twenty percent of my chip allotment, and I got
a lousy 4-7, so I went "All
in."
Sidebar
Youse, ...that don't play poker, you'll
never know the excitement of those two words.
That's sad, because those two words can
really make your adrenaline roar,
and why the hell wouls you want to live
in a world without your adrenaline roaring?
I go desperate on my "All in" with 4-7 and the flop is a 3-5-6.
ha ha
I ended up winning the first tourney with the Tulsa Poker Club.
$50 entry fee, $200 first place prize - could be worse.
Seconds into the second $50 tourney, I realized that if I should
somehow
happen to win the second tourney, I would never be invited
back again.
I had a political decision to make, so I bet big on losing hands
and was a quick loser.
I think I made the right decision because as I left none
of the players screamed, "Screw you and don't
come back."
I can't find nine people on the East Coast who want to play poker,
but I found me a game right here in K-Drag.

Saturday, late
Was in a good mood, it was late, I was unwinding from making some
money, (elsewhere in this issue)
so I put on Zeppelin's "How the West was Won,"
live audio CD set, ...and relaxed, ...and enjoyed.
ha ha
He can't be that good.
Jimmy Page is lying.
I never bought into all that "made a
deal with the Devil," stuff, ...but what else explains Page?
Besides, Baldwin could only play bass, keyboards and pedals at
the same time live,
and Bonham might've been good on drums - if he wasn't so shy.
And Goldenboy with the hair?
Could he sing?
ha ha
Make me stop.
Zeppelin at their prime was/were something.
