 Quotes

"Trying to assess the urgency of Social Security reform?
  Economist Brad Delong offers a helpful metaphor.
  In comparison to the massive threat posed by the deficits in the general fund,
  currently standing at $7 trillion, the far-off imbalance of Social Security is but
  a slowly leaking tire on a car that has already crashed into a tree.
 What kind of driver, owning a car that has just crashed into a tree says,
 'The most important thing is to fix this slow leak in the right rear tire?'
  George W. Bush is such a driver." "

 Bush Says Election Ratified Iraq Policy
   "America loves a good war and my name is Duke Wayne"

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview
 with The Washington Whore Post that loves Bush and is helping him with war propaganda.
"The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq,
 and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me," which means Karl Rove was right.

 On more important matters, Bush defended his decision to force the District of Columbia to spend
 $12 million of its homeland security budget to provide tighter security for his nasty-ass coronation.
 He also warned that the ceremony could make the city "an attractive target for terrorists."

 Screw you, America
  Sometimes the fish in the barrel deserve to die

  Excerpt:
 DON'T FORGIVE my anger. All this needs to be said.
 John Kerry fucked up. More important, America fucked up.

 John F. Kerry, you're first.

 In your befuddling concession speech, you actually called for unity and healing. Sounds good, clown,
 but can't you even imagine for a second that the people who supported you so zealously for the past
 five months might just see that insincere gesture of good sportsmanship as a betrayal?
 See, unlike you pols, we voters actually believe in shit.

 We believe that George W. Bush and his henchpeople are a real threat to the survival of democracy.
 We believe that they're killing people for profit. And we believe that they don't have a goddamn clue
 about forfending terrorism on US soil.

 And you bought into it all because you're afraid. And you're afraid because they scared you.
 And it was all so unnecessary. You don't have to be frightened. You can think for yourselves.

 And some day, you might figure that out.
 Meanwhile, you deserve what we all got thanks to you, you bastards.

 Subject: worried about America

 It should be saving that $40 million that will be spent on the ceremonies to swear in Bush, but we're not.
 These people are totally out of touch with reality.    I will not view this insult to the people.

 What is happening to us as a nation?
 We are losing our minds.

 We are being feed lies every day; that we are helping Iraq as a nation, and that the planned elections
 will solve most problems and bring about major changes.

 Now we are being told that Social Security needs to be overhauled. This president; who has
 made a mess out of everything; wants to destroy a program that seniors and disabled Americans
 depend on while he prepares to party with the rich.

 We must take control of our media and our press and most of all, our so-called politicians.
 The media has let the American people down and is in the process of becoming a propaganda machine for the rich.

 I feel shame in being an American.
 Can we take control of our country?
 Or will we stand by and watch the rich internationalists destroy it, for profit and power.

 Fire the Loser Consultants
  Why do Democrats use loser campaign advisors?

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 ...the poster boy of Democratic social promotion, Bob Shrum. Over his 30-year career,
 Shrum has worked on the campaigns of seven losing presidential candidates - from McGovern
 to Kerrey - capping his record with a leading role in the disaster that was the Gore campaign.
 Yet, instead of abiding by the "seven strikes and you're out" rule, Democrats have continued to
 pay top dollar for his services (sums that are supplemented by the percentage Shrum's firm,
 gets for purchasing air time for commercials). Although Shrum has never put anyone in the
 White House, in the bizarro world of Democratic politics, he's seen as a kingmaker - merely
 hiring the media strategist gives a candidate such instant credibility with big-ticket liberal funders
 that Kerry and Edwards fought a fierce battle in the primaries to lure Shrum to their camps.
 Ultimately, Shrum chose Kerry, and extended his perfect losing record.

 Did you guys not  hear this guy after the prison torture debacle?
 I admit I haven't followed the guys whole career or anything,
 but he sure as hell said all the right things, with right tone, at that time.

 His words could have come directly from your mouth, for crying out loud.
 Why all the anti-joe rhetoric?

 Laura
 

 Laura, I try to avoid Bush rubberstamps when I catch the talk shows.
 When Biden is on Meet the Press, he talks about Bush's greatness and how much we need him.

 ...maybe he's just trying to impress Tim the Whore.

 Quotes

"America has never fought a war like this one - where the enemy is nowhere and everywhere,
  where civilians do the jobs once performed by soldiers, and where middle-aged grandfathers die
  alongside 19-year-old infantrymen. This is the country's first outsourced war, where civilians
  provide the twin military backbones of logistics and supply. It is a war without a front, where
  civilians share the risks and burdens of combat. People are killed in the most prosaic of
  circumstances - in their sleep, driving to work, eating lunch."

 The Normalization of Horror
   by  Ted Rall

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 As Congress prepared to rubberstamp the nomination of torture aficionado Alberto Gonzales as the
 nation's chief prosecutor, the Washington Post broke news that would have torn a saner nation apart.
 The Bush Administration, the paper reported January 2, is no longer planning to keep hundreds of Muslim
 prisoners currently rotting away in U.S. concentration camps at Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib and Bagram
 merely "indefinitely." The Defense Department and CIA are now planning "a more permanent approach
 for potentially lifetime detentions" for these innocents.

 We're locking them up forever. Without due process.

 Before gangsters like Alberto Gonzales seduced us into abandoning our values, a person was considered
 innocent before being proven guilty. Now we're locking people away because "the government does not
 have enough evidence to charge [them] in courts." And everyone, including Democrats, is OK with this.

 Subject: thanks for the laughs

 Hey Bart,

 Just a quick note and tip to say thanks for the YEARS of entertainment.
 You are the one of the first political pages I started reading daily, around the same time
 that I stopped paying attention to broadcast news.

 If your average magazine on the stand costs $5.00, I figure I'm still
 way in the hole with you, but I think your tip jar is an excellent way to even it up a bit.
 Keep up the great work.
 Dave in Cleveland

 *Google   The Mockingird Project 1975,

 I heard that this was investigated by congress when 400 top journalists were put on the CIA payroll.
 And that was 1975!!!  You can imagine what they are up to now.

"Inaugurations are an important part of our history. They're a ceremony of our history;
  they're a ritual of our government. I think it's important to have the inauguration every time.
  It's also good for Washington's economy, for people to come in from around the country,
  for the hotels to be full, and the restaurants to be full, and the caterers to be busy."

 Subject: about RE and his "demoncrats"

 Bart:
 What is it with these guys?  90% of the right-wingers who write in to your page either:

 A) Won't take the time to type out their thoughts in a syntactically correct manner, so that they make any goddammed sense, or,
 B) So help us all, they really do sort of think like they write.

 What is it with endlessly repeating this crazy-ass line about Good Patriots vs. the evil, slovenly communistic liberals?
 Is there not one among them who can reason for himself?
 Or at least repeat the party line in such a way that Republicans don't sound like a gaggle of glue-huffing aphasics?

 Repetition is their "logic."
 They hear Rush or Savage say it, and they repeat it.
 They can't reason or debate because they'd be off-script, like The Monkey.
 

 Tell us the truth, Bart:  Are these guys real?  Or are you just taking "a harmless mega-dose of LSD and donkey laxative"
 (in the words of Will Ferrel), and typing whatever comes natural in the ensuing hours, then calling it Monkey Mail?

 Sadly, I think we all know the truth...

 Air Force proposal sought gay sex weapon
  Their soldiers would turn too gay to fight

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The Pentagon briefly looked into making a weapon that would render enemy troops
 sexually attracted to one another, according to an official document uncovered by a
 watchdog group that monitors research into biological and chemical weapons.

 The six-year plan included development of several "non-lethal" chemical weapons,
 including one aphrodisiac chemical that would be designed to make enemy soldiers
 sexually irresistible to each other. The resulting widespread homosexual behavior,
 would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal blow" to morale, no pun intended.

 Quotes that don't Duel

"Albert Speer drew up a memo to Hitler pointing out the significance of the loss of Silesia.
'The war is lost,' his report began, and he went on in his cool and objective manner to explain why.
 The Fuehrer glanced at Speer's report, read the first sentence and then ordered it filed away in his safe.
 He refused to see Speer alone, saying to Guderian: 'He always has something unpleasant to say to me.
  I can't bear that.'"

"There is rising concern amongst senior officials that President Bush does not grasp
  the increasingly grim reality of the security situation in Iraq because he refuses to
  listen to that type of information. Our sources say Bush actually says that he does
  not want to hear "bad news."  Our sources conclude this "good news only" directive
  comes from Bush himself; that is, it is not a trap or cocoon thrown around him by
  Rice, Cheney, and Rumsfeld."

 Ashlee Simpson ponders Orange Bowl boos
  This isn't news, but this time, she's blaming Oklahoma

  Excerpt:
 Simpson again tried to spin--if not hoedown--her way out of another national
 embarrassment this week by giving MTV the reasons why she was booed like crazy.

 "There were no ear monitors when we went on stage," Jessica's little sis told MTV.com.
"And trying to sing in a stadium where you can't hear yourself is kinda hard," the 'singer' added.

"I was facing Oklahoma [which had a bigger crowd on hand], and I was rooting for USC,
 and they played a clip of it, so maybe it was that those people didn't like me," she postulated.
"...maybe they were booing at the halftime show because the whole thing sucked.
 If they didn't like the performance, and that's what it was about, then sorry to them."

 So why is nobody stepping up and demanding accountability?
 This was an outright lie told to us by the 'leaders of our country'
 and it seems as if nobody in the media cares.

 The media aren't here to report news.
 They are here to make more profit than they made yesterday.
 They make more profit slanting the news to help Bush.
 

 They do what they want, when they want to.
 And no matter how crooked, nobody questions them.
 We occupied a country and soldiers died for a fucking lie!
 They must be held accountable.
 Where is the logic in this?

  Excerpt:
 After spending 10 days in London with friends who were outspoken about their disdain for
 the Giggling Murderer, Berns Rothchild came home wishing she had a way to disown the bastard.
"I sort of felt ashamed, and didn't really want to be associated with being an American," said Rothchild.

 Her mother had a suggestion: bracelets, inspired by the Lance Armstrong Foundation's popular
"LIVESTRONG" bands, that would signal opposition to Bush. Two women in Idaho had the same idea.
 So did a woman in Kansas. The result? At least three separate bracelet ventures targeting left-leaning
 citizens who want to show their disgust for Bush's Amerikkka gone mad and warring with the world.

"We don't have institutions like the Claremont Institute who can hire us on
  as "fellows" - and launder Republican money through it to pay us. We aren't
  going to get our marching orders and talking points through the coordinated
"left wing" media because there is no coordinated left wing media. We are
  out here on our own, and when or if we say or do something controversial,
  there is no institutional defense of us because there is no institution."

 Subject: will somebody confront this offensive rhetoric?

 That the wing nuts are spreading the word about Social Security reform by enlightening everyone
 to the fact that black men die earlier than others so therefore black folks should be all over their
 Social Security reform scheme pisses me the hell off.

 How dare that ass in the whitehouse and the very gay congressman David Dreier stoop soo low?

  "I've lived with a gay man for 12 years,
    but that doesn't mean I'm gay."

 The little chimpy bastard made absolutely no sense when he attempted to spew this rhetoric today.
