Volume 1519 - A matter of pride
Thursday March 24, 2005 Mike Malloy - 10 EST Weeknights AAR
"If a Bush commits a crime and no one hears

U.S. bars Italians from shooting victim's car
You don't need to know why we shot and killed your agent
Excerpt:
The U.S. military command in Iraq has blocked
two Italian policemen from examining the car
in which an Italian intelligence agent was shot
to death in Baghdad, a newspaper said Wednesday.
Corriere della Sera said that the policemen were
about to leave when the Italian Embassy in Baghdad
received an order from the U.S. command on Monday
to abort the mission for security concerns.
The embassy in Baghdad reportedly alerted Rome
authorities, who called off the trip.
Italian authorities say that examining the vehicle
is key to assessing what happened on March 4, when
U.S. troops opened fire on the car carrying secret
service agent Nicola Calipari, another intelligence
officer and journalist Giuliana Sgrena, who had
just been released after a month of captivity in Iraq.
The car is reportedly still in American hands,
at Baghdad airport where it was originally rented.
Why are they saying they can't secure the airport?
Isn't this the airport where David Letterman flew
in?
It was safe enough for Letterman to fly in, but
too dangerous for Italian policemen?
West Wing
and the End of Days
by Michael
Hammerschlag
Dear Bart,
Watching West Wing today, with Alan Alda
playing an honorable liberal Republican Sen. Prez candidate,
I wondered what the deal is with thw writers. Are
they longing for a more noble time, when the Repubs had honor
and honesty, or are they trying to show them the
way, or is it more likely, what's happening across the media -
pressure to portray Repubs as heroes, and maybe
the writers' hunger for some entry into the party of power.
The reality is truth, honor, and decency have been
taking a beating by the goons of the Bush propaganda machine.
First Terry Gross is forced to publicly recant
and apologize for reading some article about bully Bill O'Liely when
he stormed off the air. The Dan is canned for reporting
a true story with a forged document while the deserter
President successfully slanders the war hero challenger
as a coward and weakling. The 2004 election may have been
a sham due to systemic fraud in Republican electronic
voting machines, but the press avoids this gigantic story like
it's Plutonium. Bush is spending hundreds
of millions to produce fake propaganda TV reports, and paying reporters
to act as shills; but they just brazen on through.
NBC- GE spends 10 minutes fawning over Condo-liar's prospects
for the Presidency rather than her record of blindness
and disaster, but is putting on an End of Days show about the
coming Armageddon, something so many wackos in
power believe that they could help cause it.
The truth is there are no Repubs of honor and
integrity any more. Christie Whitman writes about the extremists
campaign against so-called liberals in the GOP
(all 10 of them), but she was instrumental in convincing the public that
people simply couldn't count votes in the
2000 election. Ohhh, surprise, Bush doesn't care about the environment.
Hey, AL GORE did! The level of incompetence,
venality and pure contempt in the Bushista machine is breathtaking:
Rice to Secretary of State, Bolton to the UN, Wolfywish
to the World Bank - the hits keep on coming - the worst of
the worst appointed to places they have no knowledge,
no experience, just an overriding contempt. The ONLY thing
this ugly Administration cares about is blind,
slavish, loyalty - not skill, competence, ability, track record or integrity.
Everyone must sing the Leader's praise and
message in a unified chorus that Stalin would have admired. This, as the
economy is lurching towards the cliff, corporate
pigs keep gorging on the Repub trough while people die for lack of
insurance, American boys keep dying in Iraq for
Bush's alco-Oedipal need to show up his father, as Bin Laden runs free,
and homeland security is shortchanged. This worst,
most corrupt, most totalitarian, most dishonest administration in
American history commits crime after crime against
the nation and Constitution. The neo-fascists in the Senate prepare
a coup that will allow a slim majority achieve
total control, and silence the other 48%. And the media doesn't care.
Hunter Thompson may be right. We are doomed, unless
we are willing to do what it takes to stop these criminals.
Blair Under
New Pressure Over War in Iraq
Bush's poodle finding it difficult to justify ongoing massacre
..
Excerpt:
Opposition leaders and members of Blair's own
Labor Party demanded he explain why
his top lawyer changed his mind over the legality
of Bush's bloody Iraq invasion.
The Foreign Office published her letter on Wednesday
but blacked out several lines of it.
Britain's Channel 4 News obtained the missing lines
and broadcast them.
The lines suggest the government's top lawyer,
Attorney General Lord Goldsmith,
changed his mind over the legality of the war sometime
between March 7 and March 18, 2003
-- days before British and U.S. troops invaded
Iraq. (Did the BFEE write him a check?)
The blacked out words suggest Goldsmith initially
believed war would be illegal without a
second United Nations resolution but later changed
his mind.

interference, or less centralized authority."

Political Fallout Over Nutty Schiavo Law
Excerpt:
Congressional leaders Republican
liars have insisted their only motivation in getting involved in the
Terri Schiavo case was saving a life. But Americans
aren't buying that argument, a CBS News poll finds.
An overwhelming 82 percent of the public believes the Congress and President should stay out of the matter.
Just 13 percent of those polled think Congress
intervened in the case out of concern for Schiavo, while 74 percent
think it was all about politics. Of those polled,
66 percent said the tube should not be inserted compared to 27 percent
who want it restored. The issue has generated strong
feelings, with 78 percent of those polled -- wheter for either side
of the issue -- saying they have strong feelings.
Public approval of Congress has suffered as
a result; at 34 percent, it is the lowest it has been since 1997, dropping
from
41 percent last month. Now at 43 percent, President
Bush's approval rating is also lower than it was a month ago.

'Faces
of the Fallen,' a portrait of Americans killed for Bush
Excerpt:
Art and fatherhood became intertwined when John
R. Phelps volunteered to paint
a portrait that would be included in a tribute
to soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
His subject was his son.
Phelps' painting of Marine Pfc. Clarence Phelps
is among 1,327 images of soldiers in an
exhibit titled "Faces of the Fallen." It
opens to the public Wednesday at Arlington Cemetery.
"It's a stunning array of pictures," Phelps said after
his first view of it. "They were all brave Americans."
This poor guy - he's already lost a son and now he has the never-ending
hobby tracking the poor people
who had the bad luck to think patriotic when the Blood Monkey lusted for
grandiosity and self-importance.
Subject: Living wills can kill you
BartCop,
People need to really, really trust those
people who are named in a Living Will
. . . or they can have you killed legally just
because they feel your life isn't worth living any longer.
Shirley the Pillar
Jeb Bush
Seeks to Take Custody of Schiavo
Isn't this taking habeus corpus a little too literally?
Excerpt:
Terri Schiavo's parents saw their options vanish
one by one Wednesday as a federal appeals court
refused to reinsert her feeding tube and the Florida
Legislature decided not to intervene in the epic struggle.
Refusing to give up, Gov. Jeb Bush sought court
permission to take custody of Schiavo."
Subject: Jesus rose from the dead?
Yes, I believe that. The historical evidence
suggests that is what took place.
All 11 of the remaining disciples were tortured
to death, and all they had to do to stop it was admit it didn't happen.
I'm very old and
I've never heard that claim before. I don't think Catholics teach that.
I thought St. Peter founded the Catholic Church
- did he do that before he died?
While people will do a lot to protect a lie, dying
isn't one of 'em. And certainly not all 11 of them.
[Of course, if you want to disbelieve that history,
you can go ahead and disbelieve there was any
such person as Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar.]
History doesn't say
Jesus rose from the dead, the Bible says that.
If history said Caesar changed watre into wine
and rose from the dead, I'd doubt that, too.
Bartcop said, "But wouldn't the real answer be, "Because my parents told me that, and I trust them?""
My parents weren't believers, so that wouldn't
be an accurate statement.
I came to my conclusions about faith and Christ
independently.
Dave the Lawyer
Dave, I'd love to have a long conversation with you about that.
Did you do years of research on the top 10, 20, 50 religions, then compare
each one and then chose a winner?
And did you choose an established religion or forge a personal bond with
God that excluded the money handlers?
Rush Limbaugh's 4th wife
Subject: liberal as a bad name
Bart:
I think that to be fair you should not print the
N word any more regardless of context.
That is until you just as freely print such words
as: Hunky, Dago, Pollack, Greaser, Mick,
Spic, Wop, Redneck and all the rest of the racist
words americans use to refer to others.
You let these people get away with using THAT
word too often when it's not necessary.
In the interest of fairness, I will be watching
to see if you use those words just as liberally.
I've seen you as fair minded so far.
Lonzie
Lonzie, "nigger" is the word that binds the GOP together.
That's what made Reagan, Lott, Thurmond and The South
turn Republican.
(That was before the queers became such a problem
:)
If "Hunky, Dago, Pollack, etc " become the GOP's glue, we might have to start using them.
I also think it's a bad idea to make a list of
things I can't say.
I have no intention of playing by the rules.

Imagine if the Democrats would think to actually
point this out how much effect it would have.
I'm beginning to wonder what it will take for
the Democrats to confront this moron and begin
to take him down for his own constant misdeeds. W

Subject: Terri Schiavo
Tom Delay and everyone of those pandering fakes
are hereby invited to
go to Florida and personally revive this now-deceased
person.
Bring Bill Frist and have him apply his vast medical
knowledge.
Failing to revive her, the cheap Repugs should
shoulder the burden of
medical costs out of their own pocket, not with
taxpayer money.
Or, maybe they should just recognize States' rights
and try to act rationally.
People die. Face it.
Chris
Tom Delay keeps
saying Schiavo is "lucid."
Webster defines "lucid" as "having full
use of one's faculties."
If Terri is that lucid, why doesn't she pull her own tube out
and order a cheeseburger?
Hannity mail
I have a good friend with an e-mail address
that's similar to Sean Hannity's e-mail address.
Sometimes he gets e-mail mistakenly addressed to

When he told me about this, I suggested he answer his e-mail honestly using Hannity's name.
He did that.

Rumsfeld questions Venezuela's purchase of AK-47s
Excerpt:
Rumsfeld said Wednesday that reports of Venezuela's
efforts to purchase 100,000 AK-47s
were troubling, suggesting they have "no
need" for so many weapons.
"I can't understand why Venezuela needs
100,000 AK-47s," he said with a straight face.
"I personally hope it doesn't happen. I
can't imagine if it did happen it would be good for the hemisphere."
I'm confused:
This administration fought for and got the right for criminals on the terrorism
watch list
to buy assault rifles, but the country of Venezuela has "no
need" for so many weapons?.
That means they understand why criminals
on the terrorism watch list need AK-47s,
but not our neighbor to the south?

Subject: Would those 'Christians' volunteer to help take care of Terri?
None of these idiots that are protesting the removal
of terri 's feeding tube would actually go
into the hospice and care for her for the rest
of her life. They would not change her diapers
and give her baths and turn her so she won't get
bedsores.
I know, because I have a handicapped daughter
and all the people who have shaken their fists
in my face about giving birth to her have never
once volunteered to watch her for an hour so
I could go to the store or take a rest. Even
if all they had to do was sit in the same room with her,
they won't do it, including my religious christian
relatives.

Judges Should
Stick to Draping Statues' Breasts
by Brit Hume, as seen on fauxnewschannel.com
Excerpt:
Republicans believe the government should prudently
spend its citizens' taxes. By our way of thinking,
everyone should get a fair shake. No one -- not
even the largest corporations -- should be immune from
a fair-handed tax code. Republicans think
the government should respect an individual's rights to privacy.
We hold that even the most intimate of bedroom
details between consenting adults should be kept just that: intimate.
Republicans have a libertarian streak; we don't
like big government handouts, or federally-mandated education standards.

I couldn't believe his last few shows. Now
he is suddenly rethinking what bush did in Iraq?!
What the hell is that about? So even if
things end up successful in Iraq, which I highly doubt,
Maher believes that the ends justify the means?
What happened to the lying monkey and his wmd's?
Maher really made me mad when he toned down his
manor to ridiculously because he happened to
have bussed in a load of conservatives. What
the heck, that should change Maher's views, or aggressiveness?
I have to agree with Hal, it may not be long before
we're all talking about what the heck happened to Bill Maher!

Guest rant by Toomey
Excerpt:
But I - a mere ordinary unknown Catholic layman

who votes for unjust war - who supports torture

who interferes with a legal guardian of an unresponsive
person in a permanent vegetative state.....
Well I have news for them: THEY ARE VIOLATING
OFFICIAL CATHOLIC CHURCH DOCTRINE!!!
Will the right-wing bishops condemn this?
Subject: defending Ward Churchill
I would just like to say that I'm sick of you defending Ward Churchill.
Even if he is an American Indian, nothing justifies
what happened on September 11, 2001- nothing.
Churchill didn't just "phrase" what he said incorrectly;
he said that the World Trade Center victims were Nazis.
I mean, come on!
What Churchill said was just as disgusting and
despicable as the comments Jerry Falwell made after 9/11.
And he may have the right to say it, but I think
what Ward Churchill said makes him a scumbag, just like Falwell is.
I must say, as an honest liberal, I really thought
you knew better, Bartcop!!
Bryan
I didn't say Churchill was right.
Maybe he's as crazy and evil and you say, but to disagree with him 100
percent
you have to say America has a blood-free past. Are you ready
to do that?

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of
witches pass over, their spells dissolve,
and the people, recovering their true sight,
and restore their government to its true principles.
It is true that in the meantime we are suffering
deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of
a war and long oppressions of enormous public
debt........ If the game runs sometime against us
at home we must have patience till luck turns,
and when we shall have an opportunity of winning
back the principles we have lost, for this
is a game where principles are at stake."

Jefferson, 1798, who saw the Monkey coming over 200 years ago.
