"Mrs. Schiavo's life is not slipping away - it is being violently wrenched from her body in an act 
  of medical terrorism.  "Mr. Schiavo's attorney's characterization of the premeditated starvation 
  and dehydration of a helpless woman as 'her dying process' is as disturbing as it is unacceptable. 
  What is happening to her is not compassion - it is homicide. She doesn't need to die, and as long 
  as Terri Schiavo can breathe and her supporters can pray, we will not rest."

 Student's Rampage Leaves 10 Dead in Minn
   New NRA offices are springing up like flowers

  Excerpt:
 A heavily armed teen accused of killing his grandparents later smiled and waved during 
 a shooting rampage at a high school as he gunned down seven more people, brushing off pleas to stop.

 The rampage at Red Lake Indian Reservation in far northern Minnesota was the nation's worst 
 school shooting since the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 that left 13 people dead. 
 When the rampage was over, 10 people were dead and at least 14 others were wounded. 

 Police said the gunman killed himself after exchanging fire with officers

 Auditors find another $108 million in Halliburton overcharges

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Pentagon auditors found another $108 million in overcharges by Halliburton's KBR subsidiary. The overcharges
 took place under KBR's multibillion dollar oil infrastructure contract with the Army Corp of Engineers. According
 to the audit, the company overcharged the military for importing gasoline into Iraq.

 In 2003, Pentagon auditors found an additional $61 million in overcharges by KBR in relation to importing fuel into Iraq.
 Investigators say KBR charged the Pentagon $2.64 per gallon of gasoline while competitors were importing gasoline for
 less than half that price. The Pentagon later fired KBR from this particular task order and assigned it to an office within the
 Pentagon known as the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC). The result was a 50 percent reduction in gasoline prices
 charged to U.S. taxpayers. Critics say this is another example proving privatization of the military has failed.
 

 Bush intentionally concealed Halliburton overcharges

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The Bush administration intentionally concealed evidence of Halliburton's overcharges in violation of UN
 Security Council Resolution 1483, Rep. Henry Waxman has revealed.   He said Bush, "acting at the request
 of Halliburton," intentionally concealed evidence from the International Advisory Monitoring Board (IAMB),
 an international body responsible for auditing Iraq's oil finances.

 Waxman said the evidence concealed by Bush showed KBR (Halliburton) had overcharged the Development Fund
 for Iraq (DFI), which in May 2003 became the successor to the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food Program. The now-defunct Coalition
 Provisional Authority (CPA) was responsible for managing the DFI and had given KBR a total of $1.6 billion from the fund.

 The redacted audit also deleted these sentence: "KBR was unable to demonstrate the proposal was based on actual costs";
"We consider KBR's estimating system to be inadequate"; "KBR was unable to reconcile the proposed costs to its accounting
 records"; "KBR did not always provide accurate information"; "KBR has failed to demonstrate adequate competition in its
 procurement decision"; "KBR did not comply with the stated terms and conditions of its own subcontract clauses"; and
 "We found significant purchasing system deficiencies."
 

 So, all that horseshit about the Kofi Anon Oil for Food "scandal" was to cover the BFEE's money-making machines.

 NYT Backs Off Bush-Iraq Praise
    by Robert Parry at  consortiumnews.com

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Two weeks after that Consortiumnews.com article and a second one making a similar point, 
 the New York Times had come around.

 Instead of granting the Bush administration "a healthy share of the credit for many of these advances," 
 a Times editorial noted that "many of the most promising signs of change have little to do with Iraq. 
 The peace initiatives in Israel were made possible when Yasir Arafat died and was replaced by a braver, 
 more flexible leader. The new determination of the Lebanese people to throw out their Syrian oppressors 
 was sparked by the assassination of the Lebanese nationalist, Rafik Hariri, not the downfall of Saddam Hussein. 
 And in Iraq itself, the voting largely excluded the Sunni minority, without whose cooperation Iraq will never be 
 anything more than a civil war battleground or a staging platform for a new dictatorship." [NYT, March 18, 2005]

 Though the American people might wish that the major news organizations would stop and think before running 
 with the herd, the reality is that it has fallen to smaller outlets like our own to get in the way of these media stampedes, 
 at least in those first crucial days when a dangerous consensus can take shape. And we can only continue to challenge 
 these rushes to judgment with the continued support of our readers.

 Subject: Boston Legal TV show

 Hey Bart Old Buddy,

 That show Boston Legal has been taking it to the Bushies last couple weeks. 
 If you have not seen it, it is usually worth just for some of the comedic value with old 
 Captain Kirk himself, James Spader and some hot chicks thrown in. 
 It is from David E. Kelly so he is usually good for that.

 2 weeks ago it was about a principle putting a filter on the TV's in his school to block out Fox news 
 and they got to thrash the station and actually showed some clips from "Outfoxed". They lost in court 
 and he had to remove the filter but it was good tv anyway.

 Yesterdays show seemed like it came right from the pages of Bartcop. They went down to Texas to 
 defend a man with an IQ of 80 from the death penalty who had been coerced into a confession. 
 One of the lawyers said "when I called the DA or one of the "high court judges" to say this man was
 innocent as proven by DNA evidence he GIGGLED AT ME!". They tore into how Texas was still 
 responsible for 50% of all execution in the U.S. and how could these arrogant judges be so shallow 
 as to not care. I just thought the giggling murder quote was worth a mention.

 Bart I do appreciate the page, I have been so frustrated as of late (I got laid off about 2 mo's ago 
 from my tech job of nearly 7yrs) and this whole Shiavo case, I simply pop to your page to lift my spirits.

 Keep swinging,
 Denver Dude.

 The Days Of Our Lives
  Or, 'More proof what a hypocrite Bush is"

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Bush signed a law in Texas that expressly gave hospitals the right to remove life support if the 
 patient could not pay and there was no hope of revival, regardless of the patient's family's wishes. 

 It is called the Texas Futile Care Law. Under this law, a baby was removed from life support against 
 his mother's wishes in Texas just this week. A 68 year old man was given a temporary reprieve by the 
 Texas courts just yesterday. Those of us who read liberal blogs are also aware that Republicans have 
 voted en masse to pull the plug (no pun intended) on medicaid funding that pays for the kind of care 
 that someone like Terry Schiavo and many others who are not so severely brain damaged need all 
 across this country. Those of us who read liberal blogs also understand that that the tort reform that 
 is being contemplated by the Republican congress would preclude malpractice claims like that which
 has paid for Terry Schiavo's care thus far.
 

 Nobody cares about the facts.
 Politics is just one giant circle-jerk these days
 and our side hasn't got the slightest clue what the rules are.

 How can hundreds of Democratic millionaires be so f-ing clueless?

  Excerpt:
"Keep it simple' is the key to the White House, Howard Dean told his party last night. 
  One major reason his party lost the 2004 race to the "brain-dead" Republicans is that it 
  has a "tendency to explain every issue in half an hour of detail," Dean told Democrats Abroad, 
  which brought about 150 members from Canada and 30 other countries to Toronto for two days. 
"I'm going to be very disciplined about how we deliver messages. We can have policy deliberations 
  in rooms like this. On TV, we have to be very focused."
 

 Can Dean turn the party around?
 Can he stay focused and on-message?
 Can he shake off the dreary Kerry doldrums?

 Subject: Nancy Graceless

 I agree ONE HUNDRED PER CENT! Yes that's shouting. 
 The only way you can communicate with a rolling bitch like her. 

 She instantly assumes every defendant is guilty until proven innocent, 
 and she is so small-minded that she has to my knowledge never, ever apologized 
 when she was wrong, which in her forum can send innocent people to the death chamber. 

 I'd really like to pull her entire face off, the constant smirk she has on her hideous mug 
 made me finally understand why mothers admonish their children: 
 "Stop making ugly faces, one day it's going to stick like that!". 

 Nancy Grace's mug is unmitigated proof that this is a true statement, not an old wife's tale!!

"To make comments that 'Terri would want to live,' how do they know?

 Subject: Ward Churchill

  Bartcop,

 Fair point on the framing for Churchill. 
 I have huge problems with what he said and I'd punch him in the mouth for it...
 although I'd be the first to defend his right to say it. 

 Eichmann had far more decision making power for the evils he did than the 3,000 
 who died in the Trade Towers so Churchill's analogy is a stretch.  HOWEVER, history 
 (as told in the US) has a tendency to varnish our actions around the world and with the 
 BFEE in charge you'll see even more of that. 

 We really need more free discussion of our history BUT I ain't holding my breath...
 we'll get it about the time we get national health insurance in this country.

 Chris D.
 
 

 For those who don't know, Churchill is a Native American.
 His ancestors were hunted for sport.
 They weren't even worth enslaving, according to the prevailing attitudes.

 Sure, it was dumb for Churchill to phrase things like he did,
 but how would anybody feel if their entire race was 90 percent wiped out?

  Excerpt:
 The future of a vegetative Terry Schiavo, once a vital human being, is being bandied about for political gain, 
 not because it's an easy way to score points with dumb Americans, but because it's the right thing to do.  Isn't it?

"I think so," says David Young, Bush supporter and Schiavo family friend. Young put together a small rally 
 in support of the Schiavos, and means to attract as much attention as possible to what he sees as a worthy cause. 
"I mean, Schiavo is a body with a head and a pulse and hair and stuff, right? She's not a cantaloupe or a zucchini, 
 so I don't get this 'vegetable' thing. Do you?"

 Bush's Midnight Coup on the Constitution

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Republican leaders, eyeing an opportunity to appease their radical right-wing constituents, 
 convened Congress over the weekend to shamelessly interject the federal government into the 
 wrenching Schiavo family dispute. They brushed aside our federalist system of government, 
 which assigns the resolution of such disputes to state law, and state judges. Bush flew back 
 from his ranch to Washington on Sunday to be in on what amounts to a constitutional coup d'etat."
 

 What?
 Bush cut short his vacation?
 1. Bush has never cut short his precious vacation before - not ever.
 2. Bush is always on vacation.

 Torture discussion fails 

 From: Dave, a small pillar
 
 <snippage>

 If you're not prepared to argue about the reality of BFEE torture,
 only impossible movie scenarios, then what is your point?

 Those are two different subjects.
 I've already said 100 times that I don't approve of Bush's tactics.
 You WANT me to jump in bed with Bush so you can hang me for his crimes.
 Permission denied.
 

 I've read the last thirty of your back issues (re-read, for most of them) to track the history.
 Here's how it shakes out:

 You say two things: 
 1.) you'd approve of a "slap" to somebody who was "guaranteed guilty" if it would "save 10 million lives."

 I would, and that has pissed off a lot of people.
 

 Then you say 
 2.) the "doves" would sacrifice those 10 million lives to save the slap.

 That seems to be their position.
 They say"No torture of any kind for any reason ever!"
 

 The first assertion is an opinion based on whatever -- no problem. It's the flimsiest possible scenario,

 It was meant to be a starting point - a line of demarcation - a reference point we could look back at
 and say we agreed on "A," but we draw the line at "B," which is where that debate was going. 
 So far, that debate has not yet started.
 

 ...which you've already batted around in permutations like "sometimes it's OK to smother a baby"
 (because they did it on MASH), but it's still just an opinion that affects nobody outside of your own head.

 That might be the stupidest sentence ever addressed to me,
 and it's further proof that people can't debate certain topics and keep their heads.

 What is wrong with you?
 That is so asinine, I can't believe you'd sign your name to this e-mail.

 I never said "sometimes it's OK to smother a baby" (because they did it on MASH).
 It was one of the most viewed programs in TV History - I thought maybe somebody might've seen it.
 

  Sidebar:
 In the MASH example, Hawkeye and 20 people were on a bus that was hidden by some trees. 
 The North Korean army was just yards away, and a baby on the bus started crying.
 If they were discovered, all 20 would certainly be killed (the story went) so to save 20 lives,
 the mother was forced to put her hand over the baby's mouth to silence it - and the baby died.
 
 

 So, it's settled, then..
 Bart loves torture and smothering babies.

"Is the Terri Schiavo case about the "culture of life" - or is it simply about Tom DeLay 
  and the radical right grandstanding when they don't really give a damn about anybody's life? 
  Some enterprising Democrat should write up the Culture of Life Act (Terri's bill) immediately 
  and introduce it, guaranteeing universal health coverage to ensure that every American is 
  guaranteed their 'culture of life.'"

 Texas baby removed from life support
  Bush bill says they must die if they don't have the money

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The 17-pound, 6-month-old boy wiggled with eyes open and smacked his lips, according to his mother. 
 Then at 2 p.m. today, a medical staffer at Texas Children's Hospital removed the breathing tube that had 
 kept Sun Hudson alive since his Sept. 25 birth.   Cradled by his mother, he took a few breaths, and died. 
 When it came to my son, they gave up in six months...They made a terrible mistake,'" said Wanda Hudson.
 

 Why doesn't the Christian Right care about this baby?
 Why don't they care that Bush is a hypocritical son of a bitch?
 Bush's law that made the hospital kill that baby.

 Don't they know God knows they're lying?
 How can they lie to God?
 Do they think God is that stupid?
 How can you believe in God and then lie to His face?

 Sin City opens April 1

 Robert Rodriguez (and my good friends Del Castillo) scored Kill Bill: Vol. 2 for one dollar. 
 Quentin Tarantino said he would repay him by directing a segment of Sin City for one dollar. 

 Tarantino, a vocal proponent of film-over-digital, has said that he was curious to get hands-on 
 experience with the HD cameras which Rodriguez lauds. When asked about his experience, 
 Tarantino merely replied, "Mission Accomplished."
 

 Welcome to Basin City, home to a menagerie of killers, hookers, losers, and dreamers, all waiting 
 for their next big score to get by. Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a hulking thug, who, after spending 
 one night with an angelic woman (Jamie King), becomes heartbroken and volcanically vengeful 
 when a cannibalistic hit-man (Elijah Wood) murders her. Dwight (Clive Owen) is looking to put 
 the hurt on Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro), after witnessing his violent attitude with the local, heavily 
 armed prostitutes of Old Town (including Rosario Dawson, Alexis Bledel, and Devon Akoi). 
 And John Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is looking for redemption after saving Nancy Callahan's (Jessica Alba) 
 life years earlier, only to be called back into action when The Yellow Bastard reemerges to finish the job.
 

 I'm there on April 1.
