  Excerpt:
 What has caused the Democrats to grow a new spine? They appear less defensive,
 more willing to make their arguments without so many equivocations. Though there are
 still flashbacks to the old Democrats, Joe Biden's reference to Alberto Gonzales as
"old buddy", those examples are rarer.  One explanation for the Democrats' turnabout
 is the rise of progressive media, most notably progressive AM talk radio

 ...a political market is emerging that rewards courageous Democrats and punishes wimpy ones.
 That is why references to Lieberman bring derisive laughter on progressive talk radio shows because
 he is viewed as an archetype of the Democrat who seeks acceptance from the Brit Humes and Tim Russerts.
 

 As always, you should read Parry's whole article.
 Every word he writes is money in the bank.

 ...and I sure wish Biden and Lieberman would retire.

 Subject: judicial nominees

 Bart,

 If these ten judges are being blocked because they are "people of faith,"
 does that mean the 205 other judges nominated and approved by the Senate were NOT "people of faith?"

 Why doesn't someone challenge these ditto-head Dominionists?
 Fred in TX
 

 Fred, the Democrats are afraid to think, but I have to say,
 they're a little braver now than they've been in the last few years.

 New questions about Bush's 'male escort'
  Guess who spent nights in the Lincoln bedroom?

..
      Wanna see my 'Lincoln log?'

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Guckert made more than two dozen excursions to the White House when there
 were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press
 gaggles aboard Air Force One÷which raises questions about what Guckert was
 doing at the White House. On other days, the president held photo opportunities.

 On at least fourteen occasions, Secret Service records show either the entry or
 exit time missing. Generally, the existing entry or exit times correlate with press
 conferences; on most of these days, the records show that Guckert checked in
 but was never processed out.
 

 When they suspected Clinton of having straight sex, they created entire TV networks
 to chase down rumors and they held forever-roundtables to discuss "what's going on?"

 But with Bush,
 they hide it,
 they cover it up and
 they change the subject to protect the guilty.

 Italy Furious as Report Is Said to Clear GIs on Agent
  America can murder anybody and tell the world to "F off"

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Tensions between the United States and Italy surged on Tuesday as Italian opposition politicians
 and citizens reacted furiously to leaked reports in the Italian media that a joint investigation into the
 shooting death of an Italian agent in Baghdad would absolve U.S. soldiers of guilt in the incident.

 On Tuesday, the U.S. ambassador to Rome, Mel Sembler, met with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi
 and his top aides twice at the government headquarters to try to avert a crisis that could cost
 Washington one of its staunchest European allies in the Iraq conflict.

 Berlusconi has kept 3,000 troops in Iraq, even though Italy's involvement is wildly unpopular here.
 The news that the investigation might pull a Lee Hamilton comes at a tough time for Berlusconi,
 who was forced to resign last week and has since formed a tenuous coalition government.

 Quotes

"There's something about that image of Bush and Prince Abdullah holding hands as they
  walked through a field of bluebonnets on Monday that just won't quit. Is it the way it plays
  against Bush's cowboy image? Is it the contrast between Bush's talk of global democracy
  and his embrace of the leader of an absolute monarchy? Is it that it reminds us of our
  dependence on Saudi oil? Is that it looked, well, a little gay? I suspect it's all those and more."

 Oil bastards drowning in cash

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Exxon's "soon-to-retire CEO suddenly has a new anxiety: how to spend the windfall
 wrought by $55-a-barrel oil. By the end of April, Exxon will have a cash hoard of more
 than $25 billion. And if crude prices stay where they are, this geometrically growing
 bonanza could soon give Exxon more cash on hand than any other U.S. company...
 the cash is building at a remarkable rate. Each dollar jump in the price of a barrel of oil
 adds another half billion in earnings. Based on current prices, Exxon is accumulating more
 than $1 billion a month - even after allocating for dividends, share repurchases, and capital spending.
 

 Bush is letting them gouge America like he let Enron rape California - and nobody cares?
 They duidn't steal thew White House to make America a better place. They stole it to steal
 hundreds of millions of dollars and now they've succeeded because Democrats refuse to fight back

 Subject: Martha - when will it end?

 These Republicans are truly whores!

 Kenneth Lay is still walking the streets Bracelet free.
 The Anthrax poisoners of Democrats still roam unfettered.
 The traitorous exposers of Valerie Plame are hiding with the help of
 Bush's Justice Department, and here they go again after Martha Stewart.

 Are the American people as dumb as as they appear to be or am I cynical?
 
 These Republicans really have the Bible on their side.
 You can find them in the Bible passages describing Pharisees.

 Daniel F
 

 Dan, according to Bush. Kerry and the networks, this is what we asked for.
 We don't care about bin Laden or Anthrax Boy or the spy exposers.
 We want Martha jailed (again) we want more God, more guns, less education ,
 gays hanging from the trees and Tom Delay in charge of pulling Grandma's plug.

 ...according to Bush, Kerry and the networks.

 Gore Blasts GOP on Filibusters
  Promises to 'fight hard' in 2000 campaign

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Al Gore on Wednesday blamed Republican "lust for one-party domination" for the fascist
 campaign to change Senate rules on filibustering judicial nominees, and he assailed religious
 crazies for driving the effort.  Gore warned that altering rules that have served the nation for
 230 years would result in a breakdown in the separation of powers.

"What makes it so dangerous for our country is their willingness to do serious damage to our
 American democracy in order to satisfy their lust for one-party domination of all three branches
 of government," Gore said of the GOP in a speech. "They seek nothing less than absolute power."
 

 Al, it sounds like you've been reading bartcop.cop
 Too bad you didn't attack when you had a majority of the nation behind you.

 Delay donates to Castro's regime

..
   "I have no honor - I am the government."

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Arguing against loosening sanctions against Cuba last year, DeLay warned that Fidel Castro
"will take the money. Every dime that finds its way into Cuba first finds its way into Castro's
 blood-thirsty hands.... American consumers will get their fine cigars and their cheap sugar,
 but at the cost of our national honor."

 DeLay has long been one of Congress' most vocal critics of what he calls Castro's "thugocracy,"
 which is why some were surprised last week to see a photo of the bastard smoking a Cuban cigar
 ÷a Hoyo de Monterrey double corona, which generally costs about $25.
 

 If fine tequila was illegal, I'd have a moral dilemma on my hands.
 Do I drink it, and support the illegal regime that produced it?
 Or do I honor the boycott and drink Jose Cuervo, instead?

 Whatever my decision would be, if I drank some I would be a hipocrite and demand that
 others not drink it, then sneak a drink whenever I could. I can understand how a cigar
 connes, ..connie, ..connoou, ...lover of fine cigars might feel, but I also understand what a
 small bastard Delay is - always doing what he wants while screaming at others to stop.

 The definition of treason

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:

  Iran-Contra
 The Constitution contains a one-sentence definition of treason:

      Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them,
      or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

 If you're an American pondering whether to sell missiles to a foreign power with a proven history
 of sponsoring terrorism against the United States, you probably ought to think twice. It could
 reasonably be argued that this would be giving aid to an enemy of the U.S., and therefore expose
 you to a charge of treason. Seems pretty straightforward, doesn't it?

 And yet this is precisely what President Ronald Reagan did. But did he get impeached? Nope.
 The American people decided that if the President was paving a road with his very best intentions,
 it didn't really matter where that road ultimately led. Who cares about a few broken laws?
 And in the wake of overwhelming public apathy, the whole affair was quietly set aside.
 

 But the real truth is, the Democrats were "too nice" to impeach the old coot,
 and how did the Republicans repay the niceness of the nice Democrats?
 They impeached an innocent president because he whipped Bush and Dole at the polls.

 "Nice" doesn't win wars, and this is a war for the future of America.
 I wish the Democrats would fight the facists like there was something at stake,
 but since it's only the future of America, Kerry and his friends choose to sleep, instead.

 Monkey's Social Security Plan Cuts Benefits

..

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Bush refused to back off his desire to carve private retirement accounts out of Social Security.
 Democrats say those personal accounts are a deal-breaker that would keep most of them from
 supporting Bush's revisions.

 But for the first time he proposed changes under which Social Security checks for low-income
 workers retiring in the future would grow faster than those for people who are better off.

"By providing more generous benefits for low-income retirees, we'll make this commitment:
 If you work hard and pay into Social Security your entire life, you will not retire in poverty," Bush said.

 
 What is a promise from this murderer worth?
 "Work all your life, give me the money, and when you retire I'll take care of you," he promised.

 Sounds a lot like religion - getting your benefits after your life is over.
 Hell, I'd trust a non-existent God before I'd trust Bush.

 Hey Bart,

 You keep saying the Dems are scared.
 They're not scared, they're just sucking from the same corporate teat as the Repugs.

 Indy, if the Dems were the same as Repugs, we'd win half the elections
 and there'd be no need to rig the voting machines to let the fascist thugs win.

"All five Republicans on the House ethics committee have financial links to DeLay

 Every Republican on Delay's "jury" has either accepted money from him or contributed to his defense fund.
 I guess the vulgar Pigboy would say that's proof they have nothing to hide.

 Subject: Nam vet

 As a someone who protested against Nixon and the "police action" in Viet Nam
 I'd like to make a donation to bartcop in honor of Tim, the Nam vet who was spit on.

 If I'd have been there I probably would have punched the spitter.
 I'm a  liberal, not a pacifist -- no pink tutus here.

 I also had the privilege of hearing Jane Fonda speak twice during those dark days
 and I still admire her and also feel she saved lives by helping end the war sooner.

 The check will be in the mail today -- seriously.
 Aloha,

 ps -- Thanks for what you do!
 Wish the check had a couple more zeros.
 

 Pat, thanks for that.

 Weapons Inspector Ends WMD Search in Iraq

 So all those soldiers died, 1576 of them, for no fucking reason?

 ...and the military loves his lying ass more than ever?

 Clinton never sent a man into battle who didn't come home and they hate his guts.

 How is that murdering idiot still president?

 If he'd had sex, we could impeach him, and the killings would stop,
 but since all he did was lie America into a stupid, never-ending, bloody war
 that ruined our reputation worldwide - we have to put up with more of him?.

 Subject:  Vietnam and spitting

 Who is worse: the person who spat on you, or the person
 who sent you to die in for nothing in Vietnam (or Iraq)?

 Somehow, to these people, Clinton getting head in the White House and lying about it
 is as bad or worse than Bush killing and maiming over 100,000 people, lying about it,
 AND getting head in the White House (can you say Jeff Gannon?).

 Why are so many Americans emotional children without the ability to reason?
  John F
 

 John, I blame America's religious insanity.
 Religious insanity causes serial killers.

 Think about it - nutty religious quackery and easy access to guns
 are why America is ultra-violent but Canada, England, etc are not.

 Would somebody please argue with me on that?

 Do "spychips" pose a threat to your privacy?

..
   Chip in Gillette razor - tracking you?

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification, a technology that uses tiny computer chips
 smaller than a grain of sand to track items at a distance. RFID "spy chips" have been hidden
 in the packaging of Gillette razor products and in other products you might buy at a local
 Wal-Mart, Target, or Tesco - and they are already being used to spy on people.

 Each tiny chip is hooked up to an antenna that picks up electromagnetic energy beamed at it
 from a reader device. When it picks up the energy, the chip sends back its unique ID number
 to the reader device, allowing the item to be remotely identified. Spy chips can beam back
 information anywhere from a couple of inches to up to 20 or 30 feet away.

 Just a few words about this week...

 I've been going crazy lately, acting as construction foreman for the repairs at BartCop Manor.
 Each morning I have to open up for them and each night I close it down, taking hours from
 a day that's already jam-packed with no hours to lose.
 
 I'm still trying to outwit the new browser - just about the time we gave up, we got some
 Blogads so that thrust us back into class just as school had let out - bummer.
 Then there's keeping the page going and getting BCR 74 finished and uploaded
 - plus the project many of you subscribers are seeing in your mailboxes.

 I'm trying, Ringo, I'm trying reeeeeal hard, so hang in there with me.

 Subject: new Garbage CD

 Please find some time to check out the CD, seriously.

 Carl
 

 Carl, I f-ing lost my new Garbage CD.

 Sidebar:
 Everything is spinning out of control.
 My "to do" stack is a foot high.
 My "must do today" pile is taller than that.

 Three weeks from today we'll be out of town for 8 days.
 For the first time in years I'm thinking about taking a break
 My mind needs to be emptied, like it was back in October 2001.

 I was going to use "Why Do You Love Me?" as mortar in BCR 74,
 ...which I'll finish today if there's a God in Heaven above.

 That song is damn addictive.

 First few times I heard it, I thought, "That's OK, nothing special,"
 but then I clicked on the video, watched it a few times,
 (What's more fun that watching Shirley get dressed?)
 and went back to working on the page while the audio played.

 After a few listens it joined the other 30 Garbage songs that have
 been playing continuously in my head since October 3001.

 Subject: the vet spitting thing

 One of the points made by John Baky and Gary Lembcke in their research is that veterans
 arrived back from Vietnam through military airports, then generally changed to civvies before traveling.
 Tim A. doesn't say he was returning from Vietnam, so the story could be true. However, many, many
 people told Baky and Lembcke provable falsehoods by claiming to have been spat upon at military airports.
 That's why Lembcke and Baky concluded this should be called a myth.

 Another point they raise and a reason I tend to doubt Tim A.'s story is that veterans, especially those
 coming back from war, were not exactly people to take any disrespect. Yet Baky and Lembcke
 couldn't find any cases in newspapers or in MP records of people who had had the holy farm product
 beaten out of them by veterans. Tim A. doesn't say what he did in response, and that makes me wonder.

 Chautwa
 

 Chautwa, I especially agree with your second point.
 You won't catch me hassling who has just left a war zone.

 I got a call on the BartPhone from a lady worried about a soldier who was punished
 for calling (or e-mailing) home that things weren't going well in Iraq and he was punished.

 We can't begin to shine some light on that without the fellow's name.
 Please send that to us and we'll see if we can help.
