Volume 1506 - President Death

Bush's
Troop Deaths in Iraq Top 1,500
We're all willing to die to "liberate" Fallujah, right?
Excerpt:
The number of U.S. troops killed by Bush's
war hardon in Iraq has topped 1,500 Thursday
after the military announced the deaths of three
Americans, while car bombs targeting Iraqi
security forces killed at least three people in
separate attacks.
Since May 1, 2003, when Bush put on a
Halloween costume and pradaded around like a preening dick,
1,362 U.S. military members have died. That includes
at least 1,030 deaths resulting from hostile action.
Are they any closer to coming home than
they were in May of 2003?
How many Iraqi's have we killed trying to "liberate" them
from the evils of sovreignty?
Did America really vote for more years of
war, as Bush, Kerry and the networks tell us?
Poll: Monkey is clueless, Iraq looking up
Excerpt:
A majority says Bush has a different
set of priorities to theirs and oppose his plan to "reform"
the pension system but are more optimistic about
Iraq. Bush's approval rating hovered at a
nasty 49 percent, while 53 percent felt efforts
to bring order to Iraq were going well, up from
41 percent a month ago. Those who disapproved of
Bush's Iraq policy fell from 55 to 50 percent,
while those who approved rose from 40 to 45 percent.
This week we saw the most deadly car bombing
ever (125 killed) AND we topped the 1500 dead
soldiers mark,, but people say they like the direction
Iraq is headed? Will they have the same opinion
in March of 2007 after 3500 soldiers have died?
Subject: BTK
Bart:
I'm from Wichita. I was born in 1974,
graduated high school in '93, and left the city for good in '96.
And I gotta tell you: I never thought twice about
BTK. I'm not trying to belittle the concerns of those
whose lives were actually touched by the nutjob,
but--it's really not as thought the whole city (of 300,000 then)
had its panties in an unfathomable knot.
On a related note--they arrested this
guy less than a week ago, on a tip from his daughter.
Hey, here's an idea--what if it ain't the right
guy?
What if his daughter is really malevolently vindictive,
or just plain wrong?
Call me old-fashioned, but wouldn't it
be cool if this guy at least showed up for day one of a TRIAL
before we all start to put this behind us as "solved"?
Just a thought.
Ryan in Tampa
Ryan, as a man, it's understandable that you weren't as scared.
His primary targets seemed to be women.
I believe the daughter's DNA told the cops they were thisclose to
BTK,
but since she wasn't producing any semen...

Subject: Feedback on Part 4 of BCR Show 69
Hey, Bart.
About Part 4, I think Mr. bL is still
considered an "asset" and his people are still on the payroll.
The Afghanistan mess was 1) to get their pipeline
and 2) to reinstate the poppy crop, so that the "war on drugs"
could be extended into Southern Asia and Uncle
Sam could establish bases there (to better control the oil and drug trade).
Either that, or somebody in the Al Kayda
(didn't he used to run a Chevy dealership?) got far enough off the
reservation
that they now have to be bribed. Wouldn't
put anything past the BFEE. As one of the thousands of nobodies who watched
that b-i-g fire in September of 2001 and then hiked
up the FDR breathing in cement dust and PCBs and human remains,
I am convinced that the Neocon Death Cult (thanks,
Marc Maron) is more than capable of cutting deals with anybody
to get it what it wants: 1) power and 2)
money. The corruption of these people is hard to comprehend.

Party
needs a fighter
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
If the AARP wanted to fight fire with
fire, it might respond with an ad showing Bush
himself pledging to protect the Social Security
Trust Fund during the 2000 campaign,
vowing in 2001 to devote the entire $2.6 trillion
budget surplus to shoring it up, then
recently telling one of his captive, GOP-only "town-hall" audiences,
in characteristically
ungrammatical fashion, that no trust fund exists. "The
money, payroll taxes going into
the Social Security, are spent," Bush said. "They're
spent on benefits and they're spent
on government programs. There is no trust." Geezers
being geezers, many also know
that they've paid sharply increased payroll taxes
since 1983 specifically to pay for the
Baby Boomers' retirement. So if the money was spent,
Bush himself spent it. Howard
Dean puts it bluntly: "The truth is not one Republican
president has balanced the budget
in almost 40 years. You cannot trust Republicans
with your money."
GREAT West Wing last night
I could do several pages, or hours of
radio, on a show like last night's West Wing.
They got into a dozen deep subjects that
would take us hours to discuss - that would be fun.
Bill Maher is the same way - we could
take apart one of his shows because he, too, touches on
10-15 subjects in each show and I want to do ten
minutes with each of them.
But the format just isn't there - at least not
at present.
Jimmy Smits showed how the Democrats could
win - if they just had the will.
Kids rights were discussed, and some new-to-me
valid points were made.
The military had their hardon-to-kill
displayed, but calm diplomacy eventually won out.
Bartlet's arrogance, which might be the most realistic
part of the show, was on full view.
When he became annoyed at an old adversary's success,
CJ told him, "Sir, as President,
you're really not in a position to hold any
kind of professional jealousy against anybody."
Good old West Wing - they can still deliver.
Also, did you notice the ass-bite Speaker of the House on West
Wing is the sexually repressed
husband of Marcia Cross on Desperate Housewives? ha
ha He can't perform sexually until
after he's licked his mistresses boots with his hands cuffed behind his
back. Typical GOP...
Sidebar:
On Tuesday's House, which I think
is THE best show on TV right now, Dr House diagnosed
a patient with leprosy, and he said he had to have
caught it in Asia if he caught it lately, because
the last Leper Colony in the United States, located
in Carville, Lousiana, closed up decades ago.
Hmmm, do we know anybody from Carville, LA?

Compare
Republican history with the Democrats'
by Tom
Murdock
..
Excerpt:
To stop the Democrats' pro-slavery agenda,
anti-slavery activists founded the Republican party,
starting with a few dozen men and women in Ripon,
Wisconsin on March 20, 1854," the calendar notes.
"Democratic opposition to Republican efforts to protect
the civil rights of all Americans lasted not only
throughout Reconstruction, but well into the 20th
century. In the south, those Democrats who most
bitterly opposed equality for blacks founded the
Ku Klux Klan, which operated as the party's terrorist wing."
The reason black Republicans (that always
makes me laugh) like to talk about ancient history
is because the GOP in the here-and-now is so anti-African
American.
Guess what - there's a reason why 90 percent
of black voters vote Democrat.
The father of Uncle OJ Watts said it best, "A black
man voting for a Republican
is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders at
Ketucky Fried Chicken."
The GOP has to hark back to 1854
when talking about "all they've done for blacks."
The truth is, America is a racist country, and
we used to be even worse.
But in the sixties, the Democrats took the lead
in reaching out to minorities, causing Reagan,
Thurmond, Lott and Barr to jump ship to the "We
hate niggers" party - today's Republican Party.
Why do you think the South voted for Bush?
Because Bush is a racist bastard and
he let the voters know it.
Subject: Bring back MWO
Yes Bart.
I miss MWO a whole goddamn bunch.
Maybe people giving to Pacifica or the
Green Party could give their money to Media Whores Online
(MWO broke the fact the Ralph Nader was buddying up to
right-wingers Grover Norquist and Pyllis Schafley)
I never heard about this at all from the
vaunted Amy Goodman.
If there are any rich progressives out there why
not sponsor MWO?
It was the best blog covering the shamefully corrupt
blowhards and anchorettes that form the media.
Tom in Santa Barbara
Tom, it's my opinion MWO took themselves off the net.
Marc Perkel had declared
that no anti-Bush site will be left behind, meaning (I hate to speak
for others)
to some degree, he will "pay the freight" to help get the truth a[-out
about our Murder Monkey.
As far as I know, nobody has heard from anyone at MWO in a long,
long time.
If they wanted to be online, they'd be online.
Army
misses recruiting goal
Who wants to die to make Halliburton richer?
Excerpt:
In what could be a troubling sign for
the military, the Army missed its February recruiting goal by
more than 27%. It was the first time in almost
five years that the Army has failed to meet a monthly target.
The February shortfall is especially worrisome
because it comes as the Army is trying to lure recruits
with bonuses up to $20,000 for
some recruits willing to sign on for four years.
Army spinner Doug Smith attributed the
shortfall in part to competition from the improving economy
and parents' fears that their children could be
injured or killed in Iraq. Over 1,500 soldiers have died in Iraq.
That number is red is one reason I think
you left-wingers should have some sympathy for the soldiers.
A percentage of them are dying in Iraq because
signing up may be the only chance they'll have to get
their hands on that much money and I'm not talking
about being greedy. If a young married couple are
stuck in a neighborhood of gangs and crime, $20,000
could give them a new start in life in a decent place.
And can you believe that horseshit about competition
from the improving economy?
The poor army can't compete with allllllllll the
high-paying jobs Bush is producing?

Subject: Hilly in '08
I agree with you Bart.
I've been saying for years that a woman
Prez would change the landscape.
A wind of change blowing through the whole country.
I think Ms. Clinton would be just the one to do
it.
She's extremely intelligent. She's recognizable.
She can schmooze with best of 'em.
Plus she's got something most of the no-spine Dems
don't. The balls to spit in GOP's face
and shit on their shoes without appearing to be
a wild-eyed, crazy-ass liberal.
She knows how to play the game, and she
can get away with grabbing the Speaker of the House
by the balls without being accused of being a "Homo" Don't " misunderestimate " Ms.
Clinton.
She may have powder and lipstick, but I think this
lady could make Karl Rove piss his pants.
If she takes the gloves off for the 08 campaign,
stand back 'cause I think there may just be
a comeuppance for the Repugs.

a Cabinet they could assemble!

Bush's
'Reform' Program Smells Like a Con Job
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Like a grifter conjuring visions of wealth
if only we trust him, Mr. Bush spouts promises that
evaporate upon closer inspection. First he predicts
that we will earn far higher future returns on
our "personal" accounts, the name he prefers to "private" accounts,
which doesn't poll well.
(He never mentions the substantial risks, or the management
fees that would drain away income.)
Then he promises that we will each control every
dollar diverted from Social Security. (He actually
knows that your investment choices would be strictly
limited.) He says we will be able to leave the
privatized accounts to our heirs. (He neglects
to explain, of course, why his plan would make that
virtually impossible.)
Meanwhile, directing our attention away
from all this fine print, he warns repeatedly that should we
decline his amazing offer, all the taxes we've
paid toward Social Security during our working lives will
disappear when the system suddenly goes "bankrupt." (That
alarming assertion contradicts his confident
prediction of burgeoning equity growth, but he's
betting we won't figure that out, either.)

Oil
prices could hit 80, 100,
125 dollars: OPEC
...but that's old news if you read bartcop.com
Excerpt:
Prices of crude oil could surge to as
high as 80 dollars a barrel within the next two years
but such a level would not last long, OPEC's acting
secretary general was quoted as saying.
Shehab-Eldin said a price rise to between
50-60 dollars a barrel for a period of two years or more
will boost investments to increase supplies and
lead to a drop in demand, eventually reducing prices.
Under Clinton, we were drowning in cheap oil, but right
after the two oilmen stoile power,
they did what their oil buddies wanted them to, more than doubling their
profits.
I mean, ...why steal power if you're not going to abuse it?
Quotes
"A statistical study in the medical journal
the Lancet estimated
that Iraqi civilian deaths could be as high
as 198,000."

Quotes
"What we need to do is to make the case that
abortion needs to be permitted
through the 75th or 80th trimester, not just
through the first two, because to
the left it is perfectly fine to kill a human
being in the womb."
--the vulgar Pigboy Rush Limbaugh,
calling Pickles Bush a lefttist baby-killer
Subject: Hillary
I'm afraid you're deluded about Ms. Clinton.
While we want to look for signs of hope
for the Democratic party, nominating Hillary Clinton
would be playing right in the R's hands. She would
be a disaster. Might as well nominate Barbara Streisand.
At this point the D's are in the wilderness.
If there is any hope for the future, it has not yet emerged.
Time for a fundamental re-org, in my opinion.
The first step would be for the party
to stop and listen to it's members instead of its corporate donors.
Second step would be to stop begging for crumbs
from the right and "undecideds", and go after the
vast numbers of non-voters. Talk about an untapped
resource.
Third step: find out WHY people don't
vote. Number one reason: there is no party that represents
my issues or point of view. That brings us back
to the first step.
Regards,
Kirk in Albuquerque
Kirk, you were nicer to Hillary than most of the naysayers.

Yesterday was a big day for me.
I thought I was going to have to take today off, to pay Caesar
what is Caesar's.
But...
Not only did we finish piling every BartCop Manor box into Casa
de Bart, - I finished my f-ing taxes.
In just about two hours, I went thru those taxes like I go thru a disoriented
(aren't they all?) Ditto-Monkey.
(I hope they agree the $6500 in tequila was a legit business expense.)
I'm apparently "good with numbers."
I credit the Catholics.
From early on, they taught us that "Jesus, Mary Joseph," (they
called it 'an ejaculation',) was worth
100 points, and the Lord's Prayer, which took 1600 percent longer to recite,
was a mere 300 points.
To save my young ass from an eternity of flames, I went with thousands
of ejaculations instead of
hundreds of lumbering, lazy-as Lord's Prayers that took me a full 36 seconds.
This meant that those
who were good at math would spend less time burning in Catholic Purgatory
- that didn't seem fair.
If you're Catholic, you learn the math real quick or your ass burns.

Gave lifetime immunity to Monkey Deserter
Excerpt:
Farewells aren't supposed to go this
way.
You're supposed to go out riding high,
as Brokaw did when he stepped down last fall, not with
co-workers sniping that they don't watch your broadcast
because there's something odd about you
You don't need your goodbye to come on
the heels of a panel criticizing your highly controversial story
that cost four colleagues their jobs. Yet for Dan
Rather, leaving next Wednesday, that's the way it is,
Dan, you committed the biggest mistake
a big-time journalist has ever made, and then, like a Democrat,
you refused to defend yourself so now you go out
a sorry loser who fell for Karl Rove's cheapest trick.
What's wrong with you, Dan?
Perhaps if you'd played more poker, you'd
understand that sometimes people lie.
You'd also understand that sometimes you have to
take a stand, but noooooooooooooo.
In true pink-tutu fashion, you go out a loser who
refused to fight when attacked.
Note: Loser Dan will be on Dave tonight.
Now that the battle is lost, now that it won't help him, will he
try to defend himself?
