Halliburton
Gets Bonuses for all their hard work
This is on top of the billions they already
stole and swindled
Excerpt:
Halliburton, under scrutiny for its thefts
in Iraq and elsewhere, has been given bonuses by their
partner-in-crime president for its work in siphoning
off billions of dollars for Bush's personal use.
An Army spokesman said KBR had been awarded
$9.4 million in bonus payments from its work
in Kuwait and Afghanistan. Bush is expected to
receive a little more than 80 percent of that kickback.
Overall, KBR has earned $7.2 billion under
a 2001 contract with the military and could earn more
than $10 billion under that deal. It has separate
deals with the government for reconstruction work in Iraq.
The bulk of money paid out so far -- about
$6.6 billion -- is for work in Iraq which still must be assessed
for future bonuses that will amount to at least
hundreds of millions of dollars.
We can't blame Bush for stealing that money.
If the bank guard doesn'ty mind you walking
into the vault and breaking into dozens of safety deposit boxes,
why would anybody stop doing it? Bush will
continue to steal billions from Social Security and Medicare
because there are no Democrats willing to say, "Stop
that, you theiving son of a bitch."
Kerry/Edwards
File More Ohio Election Motions
Months after conceeding in record time, they act?
Excerpt:
Today, Kerry-Edwards filed a document in
support of that (read the story) statement. Most significant,
Kerry-Edwards also filed today a separate document
in support of the motion for hearing with two
critical attachments: 1) a declaration from Kerry-Edwards
attorney Don McTigue regarding a survey
he conducted of Kerry-Edwards county recount coordinators;
2) a summary chart of the results of that
survey (which highlight the inconsistent standards
applied during the recount).
How pitiful is this?
They never wanted to win, Kerry never wanted
to be president, so 100 days after it's over
they file some meaningless document for what reason? To
pull Bush out of office?
Mr Kerry, the time to fight was the summer
and fall of 2004, when you were f-ing sleeping.
Please don't pretend this filing means anything.
You're insulting our intelligence.

Subject: Feedback on BCR Show 68
Hey Bart,
Loved the show as always, incredibly great
news to hear
you'll be with us longer, always the right mix
of anger and humor.
I have one suggestion - Bart, you're great
and I always love hearing you but I
always feel like you're one step away from perfect
radio, and I think I know
what it is that I miss. You need to do some
more back and forth with Tommy.
You're like scrambled eggs Bart, and I love
my scrambled eggs, but when
I have ketchup with my scrambled eggs, ooh - don't
try to stop me.
All right, that's my two cents, have a good
one Bart,
Nich from ND
Nich, I agree. The problem has been timing.
When we started, Tommy was just a bum on the street.
Now he's got a day job so we can only record at night.
At BartCop Manor that wouldn't work because the "studio" was
part of
our living room, but at Casa de Bart, the studio's in a room
with doors,
so we think we have those hurdles cleared. Look for more Tommy in future
shows.
Note: I think I have a bombshell to
drop in BCR Show 69.
If people agree with my take, this bombshell could be bigger than
Gannon-gate.
Bush
Gets Stoned by the World Media
Not on his payroll, non-American media free to tell the truth
Excerpt:
The BBC emphasized Bush's discretion in
addressing the subject, saying "Bush hints he tried marijuana."
So did Aljazeera: "Tapes hint Bush smoked marijuana." Swissinfo,
a news site in Geneva, asked "Did Bush smoke pot?"
In Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald
focused on Bush's reasoning for not talking about the issue publicly.
Bush worried young people would copy his cannabis
use, the paper said.
From South America to the Middle East to Asia, other news sites concluded that Bush's statements amounted to a confession.
In contrast, most of the traditional leaders
of American journalism -- the NY Whore Times, The Washington Whore
Post,
the LA Whore Times and the whore TV networks --
made no mention of drugs in their headlines, although all reported
the substance of what Bush said on the tapes.
The Whore Times' story carried the headline "In
Secretly Taped Conversations, Glimpses of the Future President" and
mentioned
marijuana in the third paragraph. The WaHoPo followed
up the next day with "Secret Tapes Not Meant to Harm, Writer Says."
Bush's drug comments were mentioned in the fifth
paragraph of The WaHoPo story. Among national U.S. news outlets, only
ABCNews.com used the M-word in a headline declaring, "New
Tapes Say Bush May Have Smoked Marijuana."
Other national news outlets were more indirect.
The LA Whore Times said "Secret Tapes Show Bush's Concern Over Past."
National RePublicAn Radio reported, "Phone Tapes
Suggest Bush's Unlawful Past." For these sites and many others, the news
was not "pot" but the "past," a word choice that
signaled that the accompanying news story was not really new.
Subject: is the GOP so into "fisting?"
Excerpt:
At the time this was written Wednesday
afternoon, Rep. Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs,
still hadn't forthrightly apologized for warning
a colleague Tuesday on the floor of the House,
"If you try that again, I'll ram my fist up your ass."
Eddy the pillar
Eddy, dunno, perhaps the GOP is sexually confused?

Led Zeppelin's lawyer takes over Air America radio
Excerpt:
Veteran music executive Danny Goldberg,
who has also built a reputation for being outspoken
on political issues, was yesterday named as the
CEO of the progressive radio network Air America.
"Danny is the best of three worlds," said network chairman
Rob Glaser in a statement. "A successful
media entrepreneur, one of the smartest and most
creative media executives in his generation, and a
man who deeply believes in the mission of Air America."
I believe it was Danny Goldberg who, after
the band had thrown all the televisions from two floors
out the windows of the Continental Hyatt ("Riot")
on Sunset, counted out $300 cash to the hotel manager
for each of the destroyed TVs. When Goldberg asked
if there were any hard feelings, the manager said,
"No, it looks like a lot of fun," so Goldberg peeled
off another $300 and invited the manager to throw
one of his own TVs out the window - which he did.
Widow: HST Shot Himself While on Phone w/her
Excerpt:
Thompson's widow said her husband killed
himself while the two were talking on the phone.
"I was on the phone with him, he set the receiver
down and he did it. I heard the clicking of the gun,"
Anita Thompson told the Aspen Daily News in Friday's
editions. She said her husband had asked her
to come home ÷ but instead of saying goodbye,
he set the telephone down and shot himself.
Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled
noise, but didn't know what had happened.
"I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she
said.
Anita Thompson, 32, said her husband had
discussed killing himself in recent months and had been issuing
verbal and written directives about what he wanted
done with his body, his unpublished works and his assets.
"He wanted to leave on top of his game. I wish
I could have been more supportive of his decision," she said.
"It was a problem for us."
Subject: poor soldiers in Iraq
Poor soldiers in Iraq, my ass! You've stated
many times how much these
"poor soldiers" continue to support the murdering
monkey who sent them there.
They should know, in the bluntest terms
possible, how wrong their presence in Iraq is,
even if they have no control over it. I think the
letters from school kids is a poignant way of making the point.
Yours for peace,
John

Subject: HST
In response to Rich from Gainesville: I
think HST was planning it (the Suicide) since November.
I downloaded an article from Rolling Stone,
titled "Fear and Loathing, Campaign 2004," by Hunter re: of
course
the upcoming election. He was so sure of
a Kerry victory. I thought of drowning myself in a toilet bowl...
I'm sure that he took it much harder. Depression
set in for sure this week when Thompson checked out!
He was a tough son-of-a-bitch, and one
of the few real journalists who remained in the face of chaos.
I would never look upon his action as cowardice. He
was a glimpse of hope, a source of laughter,
and never let up on the political jackasses. The
world was a better place because of him. I will miss him dearly.
But, just when I thought things couldn't
be any worse...
Bless you HST, and wherever you are now, I'm sure
it's a more enlightened place than the one you left.

Thrown
to the Wolves
by Bob Herbert
Excerpt:
In the fall of 2002 Mr. Arar, a Canadian
citizen, suddenly found himself caught up in the cruel mockery
of justice that the Bush administration has substituted
for the rule of law in the post-Sept. 11 world.
While attempting to change planes at Kennedy Airport
on his way home to Canada from a family vacation
in Tunisia, he was seized by American authorities,
interrogated and thrown into jail. He was not charged
with anything, and he never would be charged with
anything, but his life would be ruined.
Mr. Arar was surreptitiously flown out of
the United States to Jordan and then driven to Syria, where he
was kept like a nocturnal animal in an unlit, underground,
rat-infested cell that was the size of a grave.
From time to time he was tortured.
He wept.
He begged not to be beaten anymore.
He signed whatever confessions he was told
to sign.
He prayed.
Among the worst moments, he said, were the
times he could hear babies crying in a nearby cell where
women were imprisoned. He recalled hearing one
woman pleading with a guard for several days for milk for her child.
He could hear other prisoners screaming
as they were tortured.

Quotes
"It's so heartwarming to read about the enthusiastic
welcome Bush has received from Europeans this week!
According to Deutsche Welle, just yesterday
thousands of German citizens turned out to greet our president.
And they expressed their feelings with many
charming handmade signs, which said things like "Go [home] Bush!"
and "Bush, Number One [terrorist]! Many others
said that Bush must be stopped, which must mean they want
him to stay longer. Makes me want to
cry."

Ghost Stories
Old Business:
Remember the ghostly popping sounds we
heard at Eureka Spring's Crescent Hotel?
..
Possible update - Mrs Bart and I were talking
the old floor furnaces we each grew up with,
how they're the best thing ever on a cold
morning when you just hop out of bed?
She said one house they lived in had steam
radiators, which popped a lot.
We compared some notes and figured out the sounds
we heard at the Crescent were
consistent with radiator popping sounds - but we
were in a room with central heat.
The creepiest thing about these sounds was
we knew they were coming from feet or even inches away.
No way we were hearing popping sopunds from another
room, thru the brick walls. These sounds were
crisp and tight and they made that snapping noise
you hear when you cross two wires.
We'll probably never know what those sounds
were, but they sounded like radiator pops even tho
there were no radiators in the area.
New Business:
Casa de Bart is acting like it's
haunted.
We are hearing loud sounds from other rooms and
if we can see both cats we can't help but wonder
what's making the loud sounds in the other rooms. Unlike
the Crescent, these sounds aren't a mere
10-18 inches away from our faces, these sounds
are a good 15-20 feet away, around a corner,
We've heard dull thumps and we've heard
what sounds like a stick slapping an open newspaper.
I'd say we're getting 1-2 per night, maybe 10 a
week. Sometimes we both hear them, sometimes
only one of us hears them but we're not talking
about a "Did you hear that?" kind of noise.
We're talking about a "What the hell was that?" kind
of noise.
Of course, I don't really think Casa
de Bart is haunted, because it would be illogical to mistake
an
unknown sound for a "spook," but there are no immediate
and obvious explanations for these sounds.
One would have to outright lie to themselves to
even consider the possibility that any unexplained
sound could be explained any other way but logically,
we just can't find out what that explanation is.
...but if we see one of the cats painting "Redrum" on a door, we're outta here.

Questions For Sr. Helen Prejean
saw this in TIME Whore Magazine
Excerpt:
Sister Helen Prejean's 1993 book against
the death penalty, Dead Man Walking, became a movie
and even an opera. At 65, she's only getting angrier.
In The Death of Innocents, she escorts two men
to their executions--and this time she's sure they
are not guilty. Prejean spoke, barely pausing for breath,
with TIME's Amanda Ripley about the Pope, politics
and hypocrisy.
HOW MANY EXECUTIONS HAVE YOU WITNESSED?
Six. The man I visit now on death row in
Louisiana, Manuel Ortiz--I believe in his total and absolute innocence.
So that would be the seventh, and three have ended
up being people I believe were innocent.
BUSH PRAISED DNA EXONERATIONS AND CALLED FOR MONEY TO TRAIN DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS IN CAPITAL CASES. DO YOU FEEL REASSURED?
Hardly. See how many people in Texas can
get access to DNA evidence even today. And in Texas,
attorneys are appointed by judges. You can look
at the pattern of judges appointing over and over again
the same attorneys [whose clients] almost always
get the death penalty. Honestly, it's hard to look at
Bush's face on television because everything he
says is so untruthful.
LIKE WHAT?
He claimed Karla Faye Tucker's execution
was a crushing weight on him and said, "God bless Karla Faye Tucker,"
and then, after she was executed, he mimicked her.
I hate the way he uses religion. It's a sacrilege to me.
As Governor, he had the power to save a woman who
had completely changed her life.
Panelists in FDA Drug Vote Tied to Makers
Excerpt:
Ten members of the FDA advisory panel who
voted that a group of powerful pain killers
should continue to be sold had ties to the drug
makers, an advocacy group says.
A study indicates that 10 of the 32 panel
members had ties to either Pfizer or Merck,
ranging from consulting fees and speaking honoraria
to research support.
This is what happens when you let uindustry lobbyists run the
government. It means the wolves
are in charge of making the rules, and according to Bush, Kerry and thew
networks, THIS is
the kind of crap America voted for last Novermber and I finds that damn
hard to believe.

Subject: Bush stealing oil?
Bart, I do believe you have not missed an issue recently stating that Bush has stolen Iraq's oil.
I have a question: Where is he hiding all that oil he has stolen over the past two years or so?
Maybe if we can find all that oil it would
help bring down the price of gasoline.
Do you think?
Dick
Dick, good question, ...and we've answered that before.
I believe the news reports that say the first thing the military/Halliburton
did after invading Iraq
was to build a pipeline than ran from south of Baghdad to Kuwait - those
are in the back issues.
Would you agree that Kuwait owes its very existent to Poppy Bush?
If Poppy went to them and said, "We'll deliver
2M barrels a day via this pipeline, and we'll
give you X percent as a commission to launder
it thru your country and the best news is you
make millions per day and you can pump whatever
Kuwaiit oil you want in addition to that."
You think that would be hard for the BFEE, with a Bush in the White House, to pull off?
In most cases, the wacko, cloak-and-dagger conspiracies are all horseshit,
but we're talking about
the CIA and the president and the oil companies making moves (like liying
us into war) to manipulate
the markets that result in hundreds of millions of dollars a day going
into their private accounts.
The bottom line to ask yourself is this:
Would evil men kill innocent people and break laws just to control
the world's only superpower,
the world's gold and the world's energy supplies - and make a few hundred
million dollars a day?
If I'm being too harsh on those who stole absolute power, maybe you could ask Lincoln to explain it to me?

Millions
of Frenchmen Celebrate End to 'Freedom Fries'
Comedy by Andy Borowitz
Excerpt:
After Bush signaled an end to calling French
fries "Freedom Fries" at a dinner with Chirac this week,
millions of jubilant Frenchmen poured into the
streets in demonstrations of euphoria reminiscent of the
end of World War II. Cries of "Vive Bush!" could
be heard from the rooftops of Paris as French citizens
celebrated the end to two years of living under
the cruel yoke of "Freedom Fries" derision.
"I was angry at President Bush for invading Iraq," said
accordion player Fernand Daubigny, 37.
'But this more than makes up for it.'"

Saboteurs
Blow Up Oil Pipeline in Iraq
...or so the BFEE wants us to think
Excerpt:
An oil pipeline in northern Iraq was ablaze
Saturday after saboteurs blew it up
in the latest attack against the insurgent-wracked
country's vital oil industry.
In the capital, a roadside bomb blast killed two
people, officials and witnesses said.
You see? There's
the proof.
If you can't trust "officials and witnesses," who
can you trust?
Insurgents have regularly targeted Iraq's
oil infrastructure,
cutting exports and denying the country funds badly
needed for reconstruction.
Oh please.
That last sentence means Bush gets to steal
$100M every day of this bloody war?\
Trust me, this war will continue (and Bush will
get richer) until he leaves office.

Subject: Speaking of outright bullshit lies...
Bart, Clinton wasn't impeached for "I did
not have sex...", he was impeached
for LYING IN A FEDERAL COURT PROCEEDING. Let
me say that again, very slooowwly...
HE...WAS...IMPEACHED...FOR...LYING...IN...A...FEDERAL...COURT...PROCEEDING.
You know, the one where HIS former law student,
the judge, found him guilty of perjury,
fined him, and revoked his law license? At
least get your lies STRAIGHT, for God's sake!
Brandt
Brandt, I am guilty of being too generous to your evil side of
the aisle.
Clinton was actually impeached because he kept destroying GOP war
heroes at the polls.
Republicans couldn't afford to have a "Reaganesque" Clinton walking around
for the next 25 years
basking in the glow of being the greatest president America ever had while
dampening GOP races.
Don't you have any idea about recent history?
Richard Mellon Scaife paid David Brock $80K to
talk to the Troopers who had also been paid $80K
to talk to David Brock. I'm sure you would tell me that Scaife paid
Brock and the Troopers "for the truth
and nothing but the truth," but why
would Scaife purchase the truth for $160K when
everybody knows
the truth is free? You're not ...like, ...stupid, are you?
I'll explain it very slowly for you:
Brock was paid to write whatever the Troopers told him and fan
the flames into a big fire.
The Troopers were paid to say, "We were there,
we saw things happen, and here's our story."
Together, they called Paula Jones a cheap whore who wanted to be Clinton's "regular."
When Jones found out, she didn't sue the American Spectator
Magazine for calling her a cheap whore.
She didn't sue the Troopers for telling David Brock she was a cheap
whore.
She didn't sue David Brock for writing that the Troopers called
her a cheap whore.
No, there's no money to be made suing a consortium of right-wing,
anti-democracy white supremists,
but there was LOTS of money to be made suing the new "Elvis" President
because we needed to be
diverted from the Christmas Eve pardons that Bush the Smarter used to bury
Iran-Contra.
..
But
you're right - I'm just making all this up.
So, instead of suing the people who called her that,
instead of suing the writer who called her that,
instead of suing the magazine that published that,
she sued Clinton and he had never said a word about her.
The courts green-lit this ridiculous lawsuit all the way to the
top
because they said they "doubted it would be much
of a distraction."
...and that's why Clinton was impeached.
