Quotes
"The one thing that is very difficult for me to understand, Mr. Vice President, is the
fanatical, ferocious opposition to your desire to try to save Social Security...
What kind of mistake or motivation do you think is behind some of this opposition?"

Delay guilty of fundraising shakedown?
Click Here
Excerpt;
Fundraisers for a political committee founded by Tom DeLay routinely solicited donations by identifying
legislative actions that prospective givers wanted, from video gambling to lawsuit limits, memos show.
"What companies that you know of would
be interested in tort reform in Texas with asbestos problems
that might support TRMPAC?" one DeLay
fundraiser wrote in a memo prospecting for donors to Delay's
political
action committee, Texans for a Republican
Majority (TRMPAC).
Gee, that looks like a crime to me, but maybe it looks a lot different when you're on
the BFEE payroll and it's your job to help crooked Republicans and attack Democrats.

Quotes
"Perhaps the worst of these monsters was Bernard Law. Law reassigned Father John Geoghan
from parish to parish even though Geoghan had been accused of child abuse. Law received one of
the highest honors of the church, giving one of just nine eulogies for the Pope. Law is a disgrace to
the Church. He ought to be cleaning bedpans for the poor in Haiti, not being honored in Rome."
--Paul Begala, Crossfire,
How can the Church be so blind?
Why would they reward the child molesting monster?
Are they begging Catholics to withhold their donations?

Shays and Santorum take aim at Delay
Click Here
Excerpt:
The near-solid wall of public support that Republicans have displayed for beleaguered Tom DeLay
began to crack Sunday, with a Senate leader saying the Texas Republican needed to "lay out what
he did and why he did it" and a House member calling on him to step down from his leadership post.
Sen. Rick Santorum, crazier than canned corn, told Judas Maximus that DeLay needed to explain his actions..
Rep. Christopher Shays - a moderate - was more blunt. "Tom's conduct is hurting the Republican Party,
is hurting this Republican majority, and it is hurting any Republican who is up for reelection," he said.
..
"Playing rough with
me, eh?"
Quotes
"Can there be anyone worse than John Paul? Yes, there is: The borderline insane people
who are chanting "Santo subito!" ("make him a saint soon") at his funeral mass.
Make a man who protects men who pimped the children of their own congregations
to sexual predators a saint? It's a good thing they believe Jesus was resurrected,
otherwise he would be spinning in his tomb like a whirling dervish by now."

Did Wyly Coyote buy the White House?
Click Here
Excerpt:
On Friday, the Manhattan District Attorney's office announced it had captured the Wyly Brothers, Charles and Sam.
The two have 'fessed to concealing half their holdings in one of the rich boys' companies, Michaels Stores.
The grand jury is still out on deciding to indict the two for the crime of fraud upon the stock market.
Who are these guys? The billionaire brothers are "Pioneers" - not the kind that built little houses on the prairie,
but the kind that agreed to raise over a hundred grand for George W. Bush's first Presidential run. Sam anted up
more than a quarter million for the Republican National Committee in 2000.
But that's just the tip of the cash-berg for Bush. In 2000, Sen. John McCain was wiping the electoral floor with
Bush Jr. in the Republican primaries … until that March when the Wylys secretly put up two and half million
dollars for a campaign to smear Bush's opponent just days before the crucial Southern primaries.
They repeated the trick in 2004, putting up cash for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth,
the vicious little snipes who tore apart the Kerry campaign.
The Wyly's own an oil company - Wyly Oil.
Think of the hundreds of millions they made back in return for giving Bush $2.5M to smear John McCain,
who went on to blow Bush for doing that to him . McCain is blowing Dubya because they told him he was
on the short list for 2008 - but they're lying to you, John.
..
Sam Wyly with Mr Skull and Bones
You're not BFEE material and you know it, I know it,
the American people know it and even old Bob Dole knows it.
So why are you blowing the owner's son, the Monkey?
For what reason?

Subject: disgraced Cardinal at Pope funeral
Disgraced Cardinal Bernard Law, who moved priests who raped children from church
to church so they could rape again, led a Mass for thousands mourning Pope John Paul II
at St. Peter's Basilica. What this says to me is that the Catholic Church doesn't take
the issue of priests raping children seriously and it makes people everywhere question
the moral standing of this religion.
In the last week we've heard how great the late Pope was and it made it look like being
Catholic really meant something. But I doubt anyone is going to take a religion seriously
that lets those who support child rape play a such a major role in the Pope's funeral.
This is a man who should be in jail. I can't believe he's still a Cardinal!

Bush brings heaving bosoms to Afghanistan
Afghani TV is a lot like a party at P. Diddy's
..
Click Here
Excerpt:
...in
between the polite chitchat, these men--the Afghan version of MTV veejays--play
music videos,
which sometimes feature heaving
bosoms, dancing women and sexually suggestive lyrics.
Such videos have turned the show "Hop" into
one of the most popular programs on Kabul's popular Tolo TV.
They also have drawn the ire of the country's clerics and the scrutiny
of the government.
"Watching a woman with half-naked breasts
and a man and a woman sucking each other's lips on TV,
like on Tolo, is not acceptable," said
Abdul Malik Kamawi, spokesman for the country's Supreme Court.
They never had this kind of filth when Saddam was in charge.
But then that wacko Bush boy showed up, murdered Hootie and Cootie so he could showed their bloated
and bloodied corpses on Arab TV. Then they captured Saddam and humiliated him with a lice inspection on
worldwide TV. Then Bush puts America-style porn on Arab TV, and poisoned their Arab culture.

"If confirmed, I pledge to fulfill the president's vision of
working in close partnership with the United Nations..."
-- John Bolton, sure to be confirmed by the Democrats Attribution
You mean like in 2003 when he told then to fuck off?
When he said, "If you think you can stop me from invading I'd like to see you f-ing try?"
Why are they going thru the charade?
The Democrats handjob us with these "tough questions" then they
vote to confirm - every time.
They already said Bush should have whatever felons, thieves, liars and
killers he wants - so why the handjob?

Liberals: Bullies or Whipping Boys?
by Sam Parry at consortium.com
Click Here
Excerpt
:
While Kerry mostly took the high road in Campaign 2004, the Bush
team, led by Karl Rove,
chose the low road as a far more direct route to victory.
For instance, Bush’s
political allies spread the silly – but effective – notion that
Kerry looked French.
Meanwhile, the Swift Boat Veterans made false and misleading accusations
about Kerry’s war record.
Bush delegates at the Republican convention even distributed Purple Heart
band-aids to mock Kerry's
war wounds. [For details, see Consortiumnews.com’s “Bushes
Play the Traitor Card” and “Reality
on the Ballot.”]
So, while Democrats,
environmentalists and many other groups on the political Left discipline themselves
to stick politely to the issues, Republicans and conservatives score political
victory after political victory
with sharp personal attacks.

Subject: Iraq Casualty Count
Dear Bart: What happened to the casualty count you carried on your page?
The MSM is trying to bury the sacrifices made by our troops and I used to check every day to find out from you.
Are you saying that no one is trying there any more?
Don
Don, as you can tell by the odd sized font and for-no-reason bold type sometimes,
I'm having trouble getting used to my new composer and, in the change, that got left out, but now it's back.
I hope to be switching to a newer/better browser.
(see how the colors and bold changed for no f-ing reason?)
I'm using Mozilla and it's got me handcuffed worse than Houdini's water trick.
It's nowhere NEAR as good as Netscape 4.7 from the nineties.

...the flame-haired singer vividly describes their mutual alienation. "When somebody says,
'Look, I never speak to you normally, but I want you to listen to this and figure out what you can do with it,'
I'm just like. (she flips two slender middle fingers and ratchets up the Scottish-accented indignation)
"Fuck you, motherfucker. First of all, when I come in tomorrow, if you fucking say hello to me, I might
fuckin' consider it; otherwise, you can just fuckin' take your song and ram it up your fuckin' jacksie."

Halliburton's 'red neck mafis' beats critic
Click Here
Excerpt:
A man working in Iraq for Halliburton was severely beaten last week
by a group of fellow employees reportedly called the "Redneck Mafia."
And, the victim's father says, it might have been because his son had raised concerns
about security problems at the Baghdad airport, where he works. Ronald Chavez, 40,
was attacked, his family says, by eight co-workers on Easter Sunday at the airport.
He was flown to Germany, where he is recovering, wife Patti Chavez said Thursday.
"We're hoping that he'll be able to travel and to come home to the U.S.," Patti Chavez said.
"We're just anxious to have him come home."
This gives Halliburton that 'Nazi edge.'
They want the message out - "Don't screw with us."
Do you think the next Halliburton employee with security concerns will speak up?

Quotes
"I don't think Cardinal Law, is a monster. I think he's a sinner, just as you and I are sinners.
I think we have to have a little redemption. I think a little forgiveness for a man who obviously
has sinned, I think that's being a Christian"
--Bob Novak, Crossfire,
A rare "Fuck you" to Bob Novak for that shit he's talking.
When Bill Clinton had a girlfriend, Novak was screaming, "Crime of the Century!!"
But when this bastard personally arranged the rapes of hundreds of children
Novak thinks it's time to show some compassion? Fuck you, Novak.

The Salk Youngner vaccine:
Tireless research kills polio
You have to be old to get how big that is
..
Julius Younger (R) and his assistant, Jonas
Click Here
Excerpt:
"Nobody had to give us motivating speeches," said Julius Youngner, Salk's expert
in growing polio in cell cultures in the lab and the only surviving member of the core research team.
Everybody
was well aware of the kids in iron lungs on the floors above
them at the old
Oakland Municipal Hospital, now Salk Hall. Many of them had children of
their own, such as
Youngner's son, Stuart, and his
baby daughter, Lisa. "It was 100 percent effort, without question."
In summer of 1952, more than 57,000 cases
were recorded.
By 1960, the number of paralytic polio cases in the United States had dropped
to 2,525.
..A very rare double shot of Chinaco Anejo for my friend Juli who changed history
and saved untold thousands of kids from a Christopher Reeve-type life in a living coffin.
.
This could be any one of us...if not for Dr. Julius Younger.

Quotes
"We were believers, we really were. I mean, come on. When you have a chance
to do something against a disease as terrible and debilitating as polio and you
see that your work is working in monkeys, I mean ... wow!"
-- Dr Younger, who worked with monkeys in 1952 - just like I do today :) Attribution
It was 50 years ago today that Younger made polio his bitch.
What the hell, ...another shot of Chinaco for Dr, J

Subject: iron lungs
Bart,
When I was a little kid I had a couple of friends end up in these things!
Bungalow Bob
I told Mrs Bart last night - as a kid, I had nightmares about ending up in one of those.
Subject: Polio
Bart, that article said,
> "...thousands of Pittsburgh schoolchildren offered up their arms to be injected with the
> experimental solution, providing enough evidence of its effectiveness to launch a large-scale
> trial of 1.8 million children. And thousands of Pittsburgh parents allowed the trial to proceed....
As we used to say in a more euphemistic day, "That took some glands. Major glands..."

Subject: Julius Youngner
Dear Bart:
If you remember
polio as I do - the kids in iron lungs etc. - have some class and send
the man a case
of whatever he likes. Maybe he
tequila isn't his personal preference.
Perhaps he'd
like a case - a CASE of Chivas or perhaps Benedictine - let me know
and I'll send it in a second.
Nothing personal; I'm older than you are. I
do remember my classmates - through adulthood - that had to be braced
just to walk...
You're aware
of my opinions and conclusions about most everything else.
Elaine
Elaine, the shy person!
I hope to
meet and grovel before Julius Youngner this year.
But yeah, great
idea.
Let's find out
what he likes and buy him a case of it.
