"All these precious words have now become something akin to brand names:
"democracy", "freedom", "liberty", "empowerment." They don't really mean anything,
 they're just the names attached to things we do. They aren't defined by any intrinsic quality.
 It's like the reverse of the abuse/torture dichotomy. If we do it, it's "abuse," if anyone else
 does it, it's torture. If we do it, it's democracy and freedom.

 Bush steals another $9 Billion
  This is why he started this phoney war

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The U.S. occupation authority in Iraq (news - web sites) was unable to keep track of
 nearly $9 billion it transferred to government ministries, which lacked financial controls,
 security, communications and adequate staff, an inspector general has found.

 The U.S. officials relied on Iraqi audit agencies to account for the funds but those offices
 were not even functioning when the funds were transferred between October 2003 and
 June 2004, according to an audit by a special U.S. inspector general.
 

 Seniors are losing Social Security because Bush bankrupted the Treasury
 and now he steals another nine billion on top of all the other damage he's done.

..

 You watch - Bush will appoint Lee Whitewash Hamilton to look into the missing money.
 Hamilton will report that "shit happens" in war time and the matter will be closed.

 A televisual fairyland
  The US whore media is disciplined by corporate America into promoting Bush

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 On January 20th, the fairy king of fairyland will be recrowned. He was elected on a platform
 suspended in midair by the power of imagination. He is the leader of a band of men who walk
 through ghostly realms unvisited by reality. And he remains the most powerful person on earth.

 How did this happen? How did a fantasy president from a world of make believe come to govern
 a country whose power was built on hard-headed materialism? To find out, take a look at two
 squalid little stories which have been concluded over the past 10 days.
 

 Isn't it a shame that we have to leave America to get factual news?

 Car Bomb Attack in Falluja kills 822
    by Burial Sharon    Associated Press Sunday, January 30, 2005; 10:03 AM

 In Falluja today, explosives packed in a car detonated at a police headquarters,  killing 822 police officers
 and injuring 453, witnesses said.  US troops and tanks sealed off the area, which was strewn with parts of
 flaming wreckage and human remains.

 The driver of the Opel Astra slammed his bomb-laden car into a pickup truck that was used to block
 the gate leading to the police headquarters and detonated the load of explosives, said policeman Sol Goldberg.

 The blast was extremely powerful, hurling the body of one of the police officers more than 750 yards, witnesses said.

"I heard the explosion, and it shattered glass everywhere," said Abe Rubenowitz, a 26-year-old taxi driver.
"I saw cars burned and destroyed, fire, and body parts all over."
 U.S. officials called the attack a sign of the insurgents' desperation.

"The fact of the matter is we're keeping the insurgents off balance and they're reeling backward.
 They're trying to come at us and we're giving it right back," Captain Huge Johnson said.

"The terrorists are growing more desperate in their attempts to deprive the world of a free and peaceful Iraq
 and they're trying to put it all on the line and give it all they can."

 There was no claim of responsibility for the latest Falluja attack, but it followed warnings blared from
 mosque speakers that Iraqis should stay away from police installations.

 According to reports, Dubya wanted to attend the Auschwitz ceremonies himself,
 but his handlers nixed it.    Apparently, there were concerns that the gregarious C-in-C
 might inadvertently cause an international incident if he absent-mindedly began to rattle off
 his favorite Polish light-bulb, and Jewish circumcision jokes, to the stodgy crowd at Auschwitz.

 So they sent Cheney, dressed like a clown, instead.
 What a putz.

"My son is an army reservist and he returned from Iraq last March. He was ordered to attend
  one of the inauguration parties...Around midnight on Tuesday, my son returned home, looking
  tired from the drive.  The next morning, he told me he didnât have a good time because they
  basically stood around and watched the president say a few words. He said there was no food
  provided for them, so they ate after the event at some fast-food restaurant. They spend all this
  money for this celebration and can't feed my son? He stayed at a local military base with the
  rest of the group, but they made him pay for the room...I am angered at the way he has been
  treated.  People need to know how some heroes are being treated by their own government."

 Ms. Lawson - your first clue as to how Bush feels about the troops should've been when he sent them
 into the desert without adequate armor, water, guns etc. so they could die helping him steal that oil.

 BartCop:

 I was sent your web site to look at last Friday.
 It is an interesting one.
 How did you get so bitter to Bush and the Republicans?

 I've always disliked rampant fascism.
 

 I have never seen so many questionable statements or angry statements about anybody in my life.
 I went back about a dozen issues and it never changes.

 The truth speaks for itself.
 

 You've got angry buddies Marc Perkel, Joe Conason and Gene Lyons, all known complainers on the left
 spouting venom and acid at the right. That's all right, it's a free country--just like Iraq now, huh?

 Do you ever let a rightwinger speak?
 It looks like you cut them off when they write in and you chop up what they say.
 You don't do that to leftwingers.

 Why?
 Isn't fairness part of liberal Democrats' vocabulary?

 KKK Robes, Books Sell at Michigan Auction
  Bush supporters grab up items for their next rally

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Ku Klux Klan robes sold for up to $1,425 and a KKK knife drew a $400 bid Saturday
 during an auction of paraphernalia from the conservative group.

 Auctioneer Gary Gray said a steady stream of people visited the auction house in Howell, MI
 in the hours leading up to the sale, where participants could bid on 12 KKK robes and capes,
 as well as buttons, books, swords, patches and movies.

"I felt like I was at a Klan rally at some times," museum curator David Pilgrim said.

 Other robes sold for $1,150. Many of the people who bought items did not give their names.
 One person wore a KKK pin, and another wore an arm band with a Nazi swastika and had
 a Bush/Cheney sticker on his pickup.

 Subject: BCR Show 66 Feedback

 Thanks for yagbcs (Yet Another Good Bartcop Show.)

 Thanks for the OâReilly clip, short as it was.  Heâs a phony and Al Franken is right
 to expose him.  I donât know why I especially enjoy seeing him red assed.
 Maybe itâs because he pretends heâs not a far right lying bastard.

 The torture debate is starting to get tedious to me.
 I can imagine how you feel getting all the letters.
 You are not pro torture any more than the cop that shot Dimebagâs killer is a murderer.
 You just have the balls to speak you mind on a touchy subject.

 Sometimes we spend more time on a subject than I want, like Piss Christ or torture,
 but when the mail keeps coming and keeps coming, I think it deserves to be answered.
 On the torture thing, if I had, say, 65 individual criteria to green light torture, I could
 understand people missing some, but I only have two - the guy MUST be absolutely, positively
 guilty AND time must be extra-critical, yet I get dozens of letters asking what if the guy is
 innocent or some five year scenario that doesn't apply.  Two is not a big number.
 

 The caller who claims Madonna caused him have gay sex was both funny and unsettling,
 typical of Republicans.  Right wing monkeyism is reality dark humor.  "I know I shouldnât laugh, but·"

 You most likely heard Hugh Hewittâs name on the famous Mike Malloy v. Dennis Kasich Fox Show
 when they cut Mike off.  Hugh was the guest monkey on that segment.

 Iâve heard both Randi Rhodes and Al Franken criticize Democrats before.  In fact, Randi asked
 Joe Biden why he doesnât call Bush a liar.  But I agree that with the party dying, only a delusional
 is going to pretend everything the Dems do is right.

 Keep hammering the chimp and his monkey minions.

 Some Just Voted for Food

  Excerpt:
 Many Iraqis said Monday that their names were marked on a list provided by the government agency
 that provides monthly food rations before they were allowed to vote. äI went to the voting centre and
 gave my name and district where I lived to a man,ä said Wassif Hamsa, a 32-year-old journalist who
 lives in the predominantly Shia area Janila in Baghdad. 'This man then sent me to the person who
 distributed my monthly food ration..."Two of the food dealers I know told me personally that our
 food rations would be withheld if we did not vote,ä said Saeed Jodhet, a 21-year-old engineering
 student who voted in the Hay al-Jihad district of Baghdad."
 

 The American whore media keeps telling us these elections are a great victory for Bush.
 Did you know there weren't even any names on the ballots?
 The people running for office were too scared to list their names.
 People voted for numbers instead of names.

 Oh, what a victory for the Bush Monkey.

"She started to speak, but had to sit down," DiPirro said in a telephone interview about
 the gathering of some 125 people at the Saturn Club restaurant. Clinton was addressing
 a not-for-profit group supporting women running for public office.

"She came back and tried to speak again but was struggling and getting more pale.
 She finally said 'I cannot continue,"' said DiPirro.  About 30 Clinton staffers who joined

 Trip report - New Zealand

 Hi Bart and Mrs. Bart,

 I traveled from SFO to LA then on via Air New Zealand ( ANZ affiliates with United) to Auckland.
 Auckland is a big city with big city crowds and atmosphere, lots of tourists. We, I was traveling with my
 daughter and granddaughter, rented a left hand drive car, a Mazda 626, comfortable and held all the luggage.

 Our first stop south of Auckland was Rokaroa - home of fabulous sulpher baths and Aix water massage.
 I have been searching the net for a spa in Northern CA for further Aix treatment, no luck so far.
 My daughter and grandaughter took off for a sorby(?) adventure, being rolled down a hill in a water filled ball.
 This is something they saw on TV in the USA and the souvenir sweatshirt was a real conversation starter.

 Our next big stop was Napier, an Art Deco city, beaches, good food, we stayed at the Pebble Beach Inn,
 a bit pricey but we had two rooms, kitchenette and our own spa plus beach view.  We ate most of our meals
 at the local beach club, fab food. Almost all the food in NZ is organic.

 Our next big stop was Christchurch, beautiful and busy, then we were off to Akaroa, a French whaling village
 about 50 miles south of Christchurch. Small village atmosphere, good food and the home of the blue pearl,
 an expensive but memorable souvenir item.

 On the return trip to the North Island we stopped at Bream Bay on the Tasmanian Sea, wide open beaches,
 very quiet, small town.  Good seafood at local fish shanty type place.

 We left the States on Nov. 3 and returned on Nov. 24th  the weather was almost perfect, a few days with
 showers but mostly sunny temp's in the high 60's to low 70's.  Never needed more than a sweater over T shirts and skirts or pants.

 I never had to wear my NOCARB diet shirt to gain sympathy and understanding from the KIWI'S. They were as
 dumbfounded by the 2004 election results as I was! Our final long stay was in Pahia, Bay of Islands in the far North
 of the North Island.  My grandaughter had planned to swim with the dolphins there but the dolphins had left the
 local waters due to the arrival of a pod of Orka whales, an unusual sight.

 Traveling with a teenager we did not visit any bars but the local wines we drank were fine quality.
 The scenery is unbelievable, conservatively NZ is 99.9999% picture postcard.
 I will ask my daughter to email her photos to you.
 I hope it comes together for your trip, if I were a few years younger I would have stayed.
 Again, thanks for your good work.
 Marion
 

 Marion, thanks for that.

 2.) grow a pair of balls.

 The dipshit who answered the phone said he'd give the message to Joe.

 It was hard to watch, but not for the reasons you might think.

 Hillary Duff is a semi-attractive, fabricated "Hollywood personality."

 I haven't played yet, but I've watched them play and it's real Texas Hold 'em poker.

 Since Tulsa is deader than John Kerry's political career, the crowds are lining up
 like it's a new Krispy Kreme or a new Steak & Shake, which also just opened here.

 They started with just 25 tables, so there are hundreds of people standing in line,
 waiting up to six hours for the chance to sit down and play poker like they do on TV.

 Remember this?

 Dear Bart and Mrs. Bart,
 I just read where you gave 2 SWA tickets to a couple of young boys so they may
 attend their mother's funeral. That was most charitable of you. In appreciation for you
 doing that and for you helping me keep my sanity for the last three years, I would like
 to give you and Mrs. Bart 2 First Class Tickets anywhere [you want to go.]

 So, in an attempt to slip one by the taxman,
 we're going to celebrate Pokerfest 5-0 in Maui on May 20th.
 If I write about it, some expenses can be written off, so expect a lengthy trip report in late May.

 We have never been to Hawaii and may not ever get there a second time, so I need advice
 mostly on where to stay plus, what to see and what to do.
 We need a cabin away from cities and far from the crowds and screaming kids.

 Besides the one night of  Pokerfest 5-0 in Maui on May 20th, we'll be doing the
 hermit thing the rest of the time  So if you know some hidden, out-of-the-way place to stay where
 there are few, if any people, please write to us and let us know.

 Bartcop the hater,
 As a black man I have had it up to here with your racial slurs, especially using nigger all the time.

 Funny - you don't sound black.

 You could be black, but how could we know?
 You could be a red-haired, freckle-faced, racist KKK-loving Republican,
 doing your best to try and stop me from telling the truth about people like you.
 

 As a black Republican I can tell you your knowledge of history is horseshit.

 You seem to be saying Reagan did not kick off his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
 Tell me, are you a gambler?
 I would enjoy taking your money - assuming you had the balls to wager.
 Do you have any balls?
 

 You are one motherxxxxing liar or you are just a stupid whitey.

 My, what a potty mouth you have.
 I hope you're not trying to speak for others with that potty mouth.
 Do you blow your white, Republican friends with that filthy mouth?
 ha ha
 

 A fxxxing redneck asshole from Arkansas.
 You are full of shit you racist bastard.

 My, my - you seem to have trouble communicating like an adult.
 Were you dropped as a young child, perhaps on your head?
 

 You can't wait until tomorrow, can you, to use nigger another 50 times like you did today.

 You ability to count has now come into question.
 Are you saying it's wrong to speak like a Republican to make a point?
 My use of that word certainly caught your attention, so I guess the answer is no.
 Thanks for clearing that up.
 

 One day a brother will come to your house and teach you to behave civilly.

 Tell him to make an appointment because I'm a very busy man.
 

 Republicans fought you Democrat racists after the Civil War when you created the KKK.

 I created the KKK 88 years before I was born?
 Gee, you should bow down and worship me if I'm that good.
 

 Jackie Robinson was a Republican.

 ...and if that's true, it proves what?
 And tell me - why would a chicken vote for Colonel Sanders?
 

 Blacks who know what is really going on become Republicans.
 The smart ones leave the racist Democratic Party who takes us for granted.

 You just said 90 percent of all American blacks are stupid.
 That's a terribly racist thing to say. You must be another Clarance Thomas. (not a compliment)
 

 Look how those racist Senators savaged Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice last week.

 First, Kinda Sleazy had to be appointed because Republicans would not vote for her.
 Second, right after they "savaged" her, the Democrats voted for her.
