"I'm very sore. I'm the one who made the television

I will forever be known as the one who made
the case (to rape Baghdad)."

Beware
the coming propaganda juggernaut
$1.8 million of our money is being spent
to sell privatization
by Joe Conason, as seen on salon.com
Excerpt:
The dimensions of the conservative campaign
to destroy Social Security -- and dismantle the New Deal
-- are now heaving into view. Determined to achieve
the victory that has eluded them for more than 70 years,
George W. Bush's aides and allies are building
a very big, very ugly propaganda juggernaut. In strategy and tactics,
this massive new creation already reflects designs
traditionally employed by the Republicans under Karl Rove,
whether they are promoting a war, electing a president
or merely seeking to pass (or defeat) a piece of legislation.
Will the White House misuse public money
-- including, ironically, the proceeds of Social Security taxes
-- for its partisan deconstruction project?
Welcoming
Bush the torturer
Must be a Brit paper, US papers aren't this honest
Excerpt:
George Bush is this week having an extravagantly
orchestrated series of meetings with Europe's leaders,
designed to show a united front for the creation
of democracy around the world. Tony Blair talks of our "shared values".
No one mentions the word that makes this show a
mockery: torture...How can it be that not one mainstream public
figure in Europe has denounced these appalling
practices and declared that, in view of all we now know of cells,
cages, underground bunkers, solitary confinement,
sodomy and threatened sodomy, beatings, sleep deprivation,
sexual humiliation, mock executions and kidnapping,
President Bush and his officials are not welcome? Perhaps it's
not surprising given the British army's own dismal
record in southern Iraq. Why has no public figure had the honesty
to admit that the democracy and freedom promised
for the Middle East are fake and mask US plans to leave
Washington dominant in the area? And why does no
one say publicly that what is really happening in the
"war on terror" is a war on Muslims that is creating
a far more dangerous world for all?"

Subject: Pravda-like "Fair and Balanced" Fox News
The only checks Mr. Bush seems to believe
in are those written to the "journalists" Armstrong Williams,
Maggie Gallagher and Karen Ryan, the fake TV anchor,
to help promote his policies. The administration
has given a whole new meaning to checkbook journalism,
paying a stupendous $97 million to an outside
P.R. firm to buy columnists and produce propaganda,
including faux video news releases.
The only balance W. likes is the slobbering,
Pravda-like "Fair and Balanced" coverage Fox News provides.
Mr. Bush pledges to spread democracy while his
officials strive to limit freedom at home. This White House
seems to prefer softball questions from a self-advertised
male escort with a fake name to hardball questions
from journalists with real names; it prefers tossing
journalists who protect their sources into the gulag to
giving up the officials who broke the law by leaking
the name of their own C.I.A. agent.

'Bind,
Torture and Kill' arrested after 30 years
Wichita, Kansas exhales for the first time since 1974
Excerpt:
A 31-year manhunt for a serial killer who
taunted police with letters about his crimes
ended Saturday when authorities grabbed "BTK" and
linked him to at least 10 murders.
Dennis L. Rader was arrested Friday. Police
did not say how they identified Rader as a suspect
but local papers say he was caught with a DBNA
match. Along with his grisly crimes, the killer
terrorized Wichita by sending rambling letters
to the media, including one in which he named
himself BTK for "Bind them, Torture them, Kill
them." In another he complained, "How many
do I have to kill before I get my name in the paper
or some national attention?"
Wichitans let out sigh of relief
You gotta read this story - I've never heard of anything like this.
Excerpt:
Dan Stewart drove to the cemetary where
his father is buried on Saturday, newspaper in hand.
He couldn't wait to tell Pop the news.
Dan read the story about BTK out loud, then
he looked at the gravestone.
"They got him, Pop," he said. "They finally got him."
His father, Charles Stewart, served as a
Wichita police captain in 1974.
He worked the scene after four members of the Otero
family were brutally slain.
He quit sleeping in his bed.
Every night afterward -- until his children
were grown -- Charles Stewart slept by the front door.
Protecting his family.
He died in 1993, still wondering about BTK.
BTK History and the Victims Wichita Eagle
31 years of remembering the fear, fascination
Excerpt:
I am a Wichita native now living in Las
Vegas, and yet when I heard the news last year that the killer
had resurfaced, I had trouble getting to sleep
that night. I felt like I was 8 years old again and laying awake
in my northwest Wichita bedroom, doing the same
thing -- listening for doors or windows opening, for
footsteps coming up from the basement. The BTK
case went public when I was in second grade at
McLean Elementary, and even at that age I was terrified.
I remember going with my older sister to
baby-sit for some family friends, and all of us
losing our minds when we discovered the phone was dead.
Turned out one of the extensions downstairs was
off the hook. Another time, I came home early from school
to an empty house, and I was paralyzed with fear
that BTK was already in my house, waiting to torture and kill me.
All of this childhood terror seemed a bit silly
the older I got. But it would still flood back when I least expected it.
I developed a deep-seated phobia about being alone
in a house overnight, and compulsively checked in closets
and under beds.... I spent the past year keeping
up with the case through the Eagle's Website whenever there
was news, which seemed almost daily. As I watched
Dennis Rader's face flash across CNN this morning,
tears welled up in my eyes. I was surprised at
the incredible sense of relief I felt. The bogeyman really is just
a man after all, and now he can't hurt me or anyone
else.
-- Erin Perry O'Donnell, Las Vegas
Think about that...
If this had happened in New York or London,
it would be the most famous serial killer ever.
Think of a 16-year old girl in Wichita back in
1974, when BTK killed his first victims.
Maybe she got married two years later, and
had a daughter.
By 1994, she becomes a grandmother.
By 2005, all three generations have lived
their lives with this serial killer.
The mother her whole adult life,
the daughter her entire life,
the granddaughter her entire life,
...every second of every day, wondering
if BKT is hiding behind the door every
time
you enter every room in your own f-ing home.
Plus, he seemed to be some kind of super-monster.
One family he killed, Dad was a super-sized
military man, and the wife and both kids
knew ju-jitsu or something and still this bastard
gave them the "BTK" treatment.
What chance would some schoolgirl have, if "BTK" kills
military/karate types in their homes?
This bastard killed for a decade or so,
then went to sleep for a long-ass stretch.
The cops thought he mighta died or been send away
for a long prison stretch, ...but he was gone.
Then all these years later, he shows up demanding, "Why
don't I get more publicity?"
Seems like in late 2003, we drove to Colorado
- the week they caught Saddam.
Coming back, we spent the night at the Motel 6
in Wichita (with The Baby).
I always read the local paper and watch the local
news, and Wichita was f-ing terrified
that the long-gone Boogeyman was back again and
taunting the local cops.
It was chilling.
(You should click on those links above - there's
some touching stuff there. The neighbors went
to the Monster's house after he was arrested, to
hug the poor, unsuspecting wife - trying to help
her blown mind get thru this - that took strength
and balls. Good for them.)
So apparently they now have the bastard,
but what about the tens of thousands of women
who still hit the panic button every time they
hear a bump in the middle of the night?

McDonald's goes upscale
Excerpt:
Several Agents were sitting just outside
of the bathroom to observe the reactions of people as they left.
The boys came running out of the bathroom anxious
to report back to the rest of the group.
"Heather!" one boy cried, "They've got
a butler in the bathroom and he gave us sweets!"
Personal
Incomes See Biggest Dip in Decade
Bush
promised you more money and you fell for his lies?
Excerpt:
Personal incomes which had been bolstered
by a large stock dividend payment in December
plunged 2.3 percent in January, the sharpest decline
in more than a decade. Consumer spending
was flat, the government reported Monday. Meanwhile,
homes sold in January fell 9.2 percent.
The worse-than-expected performance pushed
new home sales down to 1.11 million units.
Last week, realtors reported that sales of existing
homes had fallen as well in January, dipping
a slight 0.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 6.8 million units.
The headlines always say "Economy
surging," if it ticks up by .01
percent,
but the truth is everyone is losing big-time because
we're trillions in debt.
Bush's answer to everything is "more
tax cuts for the rich" and the stupid poor
people
keep falling for his lies that "only
a rich man can hire you, so let's help the rich get richer."
If only a Democrat had the courage to stand
and tell the truth about this monster.
Kerry couldn't convince anybody to vote
their wallet last year - and this is the result.

Clinton, talking about Clinton 44,Attribution
Subject: no suicide watch for HST?
Bart,
Many years ago I was exhibiting the same
signs as Hunter evidently was displaying.
When my friends realized that it was suicidal ideation
they urged me to get help.
If I had not done so I would probably have pulled
that trigger.
What disturbs me about HST's suicide is
that he was exhibiting classic signs of suicidal ideation.
"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."
Listen, when someone does what she says
HST did it is obvious that they are contemplating suicide.
You don't just walk around with your hands in the
air crying about what to do!
You go to a doctor and get help for that person. You
at least try to help that person.
I get the idea that Anita and the rest of HST's
family just sat and twiddled their thumbs.
OK, Hunter was a volatile, independent kinda
guy. If you care about us volatile, stupid, stubborn guys
you watch us day and night if necessary. You
call for a crisis intervention. There is no evidence of that here.
I think Hunter was not cared for by his family. I
owe my life to a family and friends who cared.
If someone starts talking about how they
are going to kill themselves and what you should do with the body you
get help.
You call the police if necessary. You put
them under 72 hour observation.
Maybe the reason Hunter killed himself had
to do with the evident fact that nobody seemed to care.
Based on the above quoted statement, it looks like
it was business as usual.
Hunter deserved more than that.

Subject: Kerry asleep
Bart,
I can recall back when most Democrats stood
for something.
Just a few years back, if a Republican would have
even thought about fooling with Social Security,
Democrats would have been all over them like white
on rice. I read an article the other day in which
Newt Gingrinch said, he could not believe and was
amazed the Democrats had not come out with
guns-a-blazing on this Gannon situation. Well,
I believe it and readers of BartCop sure as hell believe it.
When it comes to political fighting, the Democrats
would rather fight amongst themselves than with Republicans.
You are right Bart, when you say, Kerry
did not want to be President.
When Kerry answered "Yes" to the question, "If
you knew then, what you know now, would you still go into Iraq?"
You, John Stewart had it right. "You
trying to give the election to Bush."
Then sat back for a month, when he was being
attacked by the lies, and liars of the Swift Boat Vets.
Then, had that lame ass of a convention where no
attacks on Bush were welcome.
Then, when Al Sharpton spoke the truth about Bush,
what did the Democrats do?
Fell right in with the media and critized one of
their own.
So much more that you have brought to light
about Kerry.
When Kerry did not stand with the black members
of the House and protest the Ohio vote, that did it for me.
Now, he files this writ in an Ohio court. Help
me L-rd.
Well Bart, thanks again for the outlet to
rant, and you keep on speaking what Democrats need to hear.
Maybe one day, the only ones in the Democratic
party with a set, will not be the ones born without a pair.
Bart, I still believe in a place called, "Hope".

Marty - snubbed again
Excerpt:
The night meant more heartbreak for Martin
Scorsese.
"The Aviator" came away with the most Oscars - five,
including supporting-actress
Cate Blanchett - but Scorsese lost the politics-is-everything
directing race for the fifth time.
Scorsese matched the record of Oscar futility
held by Hitchcock and Altman,
who also went 0-for-5 in the directing category.
Marty, one of the best directors in
history, doesn't get any respect in Hollywood.
Major stars work for mere scale just so they can
put "worked with Scorsese" on their resume,
but Hollywood sees a cute, Susa Lucci story working
here and that blows donkey.
Chris Rock made a great point with his "man
on the street" segment.
Nobody saw "Sideways."
Nobody saw "Aviator."
Nobody saw "Baby."
Nobody saw "Neverland."
Nobody saw "Ray,"
...but they all saw "White Chicks." ...and they all saw "The Fockers."

Medved says skip Best Picture of the Year
Excerpt:
Medved has been a vocal opponent of Clint
Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby with Hilary Swank.
The film involves a jaded ex-fighter-turned-boxing
trainer who undertakes to help a stubborn young
woman, a survivor of much pain and disappointment,
succeed as a boxer.
But Medved feels the widely acclaimed new
film has been marketed under false pretenses. "The whole sell
on this movie is that it's like a female Rocky
-- it's a tough little fighter who comes back and defies the odds,"
he says, "and her friendship with Clint Eastwood
is [supposedly] all so inspiring, and it's all so wonderful
-- that's not what the movie is."
Far from it, the well-known film critic
asserts: for, instead of Rocky's theme of triumph of the spirit over
tremendous odds, Medved says of Million Dollar
Baby, "When you come out of the theater after you've
just seen one of the characters say that another
one of the characters is heroic -- 'heroic' is the word that's used
-- because that character is involved with assisted
suicide, that's the thing that you take home with you."
Medved is a partisan whore who hates the
trashiness of Hollywood, unless it's produced by FOX
and stars Bruce Willis or some other right-wing
actor. Michael, can't you be even a little bit honest?
Quotes
"Despite the generally cheery press reports
of Bush's reunification trip to Europe, he is sticking
hard and fast to a foreign policy that aims
to expel evildoers from our midst, i.e., Iran, unless it
changes its ways. The President's tone throughout
has been more that of a visiting emperor than
a unifier÷telling the Russians to shape
up and smacking down the Germans for shilly-shallying.
It's the righteous language we heard before
we invaded Iraq, with Bush issuing threats under the
guise of a 'higher morality.'"

Fresh
evidence that Bush, Blair lied about the war
Bush swore in 2003 he hadn't made up his mind...
Excerpt:
Downing Street has consistently refused
to disclose the date on which Blair promised Bush that
Britain would join the US in the rape of Baghdad.
But evidence obtained by the IoS suggests that
it was as early as April 2002, when Blair met Bush
at his pretend ranch in Crawford, Texas.
A ruling by the Parliamentary Ombudsman,
seen by the IoS, says the Government sought advice
about the legality of the rape in 2002 as the result
of "statements made in a particular press release".
The issue is now being raised by the Liberal
Democrats, who are concerned about the sudden urgency
of ministers' inquiries immediately after the summit
with President Bush. "To be asserting the authority of
the UN when there were discussions about possibly
breaking the UN Charter is double standards at the
very least," said their foreign affairs spokesman,
Sir Menzies Campbell. "It underlines the need to know
precisely when this request [for legal advice]
was made."
Such an early commitment to war in Iraq
by Mr Blair, who insisted well into the following year that British
military options remained open, would reinforce
speculation arising from a book published last week by
Philippe Sands QC, a leading international lawyer.
It repeats allegations that the Attorney General was
"leaned on" to change his legal advice when the
war was imminent.
It seems that our friends the Brits don't
like being lied into a war and then sacrificing the lives of her
soldier's for no other reason than to placate the
American rapist. Too bad Americans are so eager to
accept the 1496 casualties
and then says, "Shit happends in war" and
then forgets about it.
Latest numbers from right-wing John McLaughlin Group.

Subject: Bush's 'mandate' (not Gannon, the other one)
Why do we keep hearing ''51% is not a mandate'' from the media talking heads?
According to the Brookings Institute, approximately
120,300,000 voted for a presidential candidate
on 02 November, 2004, a 59.0% turnout of 203,898,000
eligible voters in a US population of
293,027,571 (July 2004 est. by the CIA).
Of that, 50.9% of ballots (according to
the CIA) were attributed to Bush. That is, IF the election results
were legitimate; i.e. not tampered with - but,
let's leave that aside for the moment, ignore the hundreds of
''irregularities,'' and assume for the sake of
argument that the election was 100% legitimate.
So, we've got 30% of eligible voters endorsing the GOP.
Of those, a Gallup poll indicated that only
6% of these voters chose Bush due to his ''agendas/ideas/platforms/goals.''
The balance chose him due to some level of brand
loyalty to the GOP, or perceived personal qualities attributed to Bush.
That means 6% of 30% - 1.80% of the electorate
- actually supported Bush's platform. No information is available
regarding the number of Bush voters who understand
and/or can explain any such alleged platform.
So, that's the real number of people who
support the Bush agenda.
Slightly less than one out of every fifty eligible
voters.
1.80% is not a ''mandate.''
But, it gets better.
Consider that 1.80% represents approximately 2,165,400 actual votes, in a US population of 293,027,571.
That means 0.74% of America voted to endorse
the Bush agenda.
Three quarters of one percent is not a ''mandate.''

Subject: Why Clinton and Kerry were not Arrested and put on Trial
BartCop,
I looked it up and Kerry got a pardon from
Jimmy Carter in 1978.
That's only true if you're a cum loudly graduate
of Monkey University.
Carter's pardon had nothing to do with
Kerry or Clinton.
Carter pardoned everyone who went to Canada to
dodge the draft, unlike Bush,
who was too coked up to take his physical - so
he deserted during the war.
Desertion during war time is punishable by death.
He had a Dishonorable Discharge before that
because of his aid and comfort
to the enemy after 1970. He should have been
court martialled.
Blonde Monkey
SCM, you say you "looked it up" but you didn't say where because you didn't look it up.
You lied.
You lied because the truth cannot help you.
You lied because you have no choice.
Even if you say, "Kerry got a dishonorable discharge" 10,000 times, it still won't be true.
