Update
- Fallujah,
Louisiana
If you can get to a TV, you won't believe the jungle that was
New Orleans.
CNN getting reports that there are no cops or National Guard
anywhere.
There are snipers shooting at hospitals and roving gangs control
what's left of the city.
Jack Cafferty just yelled,
"Where the hell is water for these people?
Can't we drop sandwiches to those poor people in the Superdome?"
Where are those supplies Bush promised?
Where are the soldiers who can bring law and order?
Doctors can't fly in because choppers refuse to fly into a war zone.
Governors talking about "thousands
dead."
Soon, thousands of people will begin marching out of town because
"anywhere else is better than where
we are."
It's the mother of all messes and the federal government is missing.

In Today's Tequila Treehouse...
Quote of the Day “The pattern of blame and denial
seems to be ingrained in the alcoholic personality. The habit
of placing blame and denying
responsibility is so prevalent in Bush's personal history that
it is apparently triggered by even the mildest threat.”

Quotes
"You were wondering why we had a “National
Guard?” You were wondering why we
have a gummint? "We need a ton of help. We could use National Guard
units," said one
Biloxi officer who said he was not authorized to give his name...Sorry
sir, but I’m sure
you’ll be pleased to know that the Guard is doing its new job
over in Iraq; that is killing
people, getting killed themselves, creating more hatred and terrorism,
as well as an
Islamic Republic. Oh by the way, you’re not going to get much
money either.
That’s over in Iraq too."

Bush Family's Terrorism Test
by Robert Parry at
consortiumnews.com
Link
Excerpt:
BOther information that directly linked Pinochet to the Letelier assassination
also began flowing into the CIA.
On Oct. 6, a CIA informant in Chile went to the CIA Station in Santiago
and relayed a story about Pinochet
denouncing Letelier before the murder.
The informant said the dictator had called Letelier’s
criticism of the government “unacceptable.” The source
“believes that the Chilean Government is directly involved in
Letelier’s death and feels that investigation into
the incident will so indicate,” the CIA field report said.
But apparently to protect these U.S. allies from
exposure as international terrorists – and to spare the Ford
administration political embarrassment during the 1976 presidential
campaign – Bush’s CIA dragged its heels
on turning over evidence that might have quickly broken the case.
Instead, Bush’s CIA leaked false stories
to the U.S. media, exonerating Pinochet’s regime of responsibility
for the Letelier-Moffitt murders.

Quotes
"Bush is completely AWOL (again) from his
duties only NOW heading back to Washington
to get to work. Why is EVERY Dem leader on the planet mute? You would
think that Landreau
or the rest of the Louisiana delegation might have something to say
about Emporer Bush
dicking around while New Orleans becomes a modern-day Atlantis, but
NOOOOOO,
they can't criticize Bush. Rush Limbaugh and Fox News will
get mad at them."

Excerpt:
Christos means "the anointed one." Anointed
with what? Holy oil.
"The ancient recipe for this anointing oil, recorded in the Old
Testament book
of Exodus (30: 22-23) included over nine pounds of flowering cannabis
tops,
Hebrew "kaneh-bosm" B, extracted into a hind (about 6.5 litres)
of olive oil,
along with a variety of other herbs and spices. The ancient chosen ones
were
literally drenched in this potent cannabis holy oil."
A Lipstick President
by Hillary hating Maureen Dowd
Link
Excerpt:
Hillary's not playing the vocal peacenik this time - she's the cagey
hawk. She knows if she wants
to be the first woman president, she can't have love beads in her jewelry
box.
She has defended her vote to authorize the president
to wage war, even though it was apparent
then that the administration was snookering the country. And she has
argued for more troops in Iraq,
knowing it sounds muscular but there's no support for it from the public
- or Rummy.
She figures the liberals will stay with her while
she scuttles to the center, even if they get angry
when she's not out front on stopping the war or preserving abortion
rights. No one knows how
she'll vote on John Roberts, so this could be her own Sister Souljah
moment - will she break
with the hard-line left on Judge Roberts?
What Hillary has going for her is exhaustion.
Exhaustion kicks in with any party in power for
eight years, let alone one that tricked the country into war. And at
some point, voters may be
too exhausted to resist Hillary's relentless ambition any longer.
Dowd would love another four years of the BFEE.
She'll do everything in herpower, including telling bald-faced lies,
to screw Hillary.
That's her mission, that's her goal.
Subject: New Orleans
paying the price for Iraq
Normally we would have a national guard to come
in and deal with natural disasters
like the hurricane in New Orleans. Thousands of people are likely to
die for lack of
resources to evacuate people and bring in emergency aid. But we don't
have a
national guard in our own country anymore because they are all over
in Iraq.
Poor judgment has put America at risk.
Marc Perkel
San Francisco, CA.
I think I heard on Randi Rhodes that Bill Richardson, Gov of New Mexico,
and the Demo Gov of Arizona declared a state of emergency in their respective
states which meant Bush couldn't send their Nat'l Guard to Iraq, which
had the
side effect of saving their lives and their arms and legs.
I think all Dem Governors should do the same.
Screw Bush and his nasty, bloody war for oil.

"It appears that the money
has been moved in the president's budget to handle
homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price
we pay.
Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are
doing
everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for
us."

emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, June 8,
2004, Link
Subject: this could be a problem
If you live in a hurricane area
and have lost your home and job
.... the unemployment office has been blown away.
There is no mailman to deliver your claim to your employer and
your employer's records have all blown into the next county, thus
no
records of how much you made or how long you worked there.
There is no mailman to deliver your check and no house left to deliver
it to.
Not to mention there is no bank to cash it at and no electricy to
run the ATM.
Yikes.
The always compassionate Rude Rich
Pat Buchanan: Impeach the bastard
.Link
Excerpt:
Twice, Bush has taken an oath to "preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Article IV, Section 4 of that Constitution reads, "The United States
shall guarantee to every State in this
Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them
against invasion."
Well, we are being invaded, and the president
of the United States is not doing his duty to protect
the states against that invasion. Some courageous Republican, to get
the attention of this White House,
should drop into the hopper a bill of impeachment, charging George W.
Bush with a conscious refusal
to uphold his oath and defend the states of the Union against "invasion."
Go, Pat, go!

Hey Bart,
Wouldn't have been nice for the oil companies to give free fuel
to everyone needing to evacuate the Hurricane Zone.
Exxon or whoever could have done something really nice and
humanitarian with that 7 Billion dollars made in 90 days.
Or they could use their tax cuts for emergencies like this.
A lousy tank of gas - $20 bucks to them. How about two?
To make sure people would be safe.
Would it have hurt profits that much?
Of course it would.

Bush, Bumbling Feds
Only the Coast Guard looks good after Katrina
..Link
Excerpt:
At his usual leisurely pace, George Bush has returned here to take
a look at Katrina's damage.
With dire warnings all over the news 24 hours before Hurricane Katrina
struck, Bush remained
on vacation until a day after the storm struck. Only after the levees
in New Orleans were breached,
did the president return from his Crawford
ranch to take up the reins of government.
Just as on 9-11 itself, the president preferred to wait until he achieved
what his administration
sometimes refers to as “situational awareness” before
taking any rash action, like sending a lot
of drinking water to the stricken Gulf Coast, for example.

Subject: Iraq & Vietnam supporters
Bart, am I the only one who has realized the
Iraqi War supporters
are the same type of people and, in many instances, the very same
people who supported the Vietnam War?
There is no such thing as a bad war to them.
Ray in Gillespie
Ray, they know Vietnam was a senseless quagmire, but if they admit
it,
that means people like Clinton, Lennon and Fonda were right and we
can't have that.
Same for this war - they're just lying to themselves. They know Bush
has changed the reason
that we went to Iraq several times - they just don't care. If they
admit Bush is a stupid horse's ass
- at best - then that would mean we were better off with Clinton and
that's not possible because
Clinton had sex and sex is worse than killing soldiers for a war that
W started to get super-rich.

New Orleans: It's about us
by Molly Ivins
Link
Excerpt:
This is not "just politics" or blaming for political
advantage. This is about the real consequences
of what governments do and do not do about their responsibilities.
And about who winds up
paying the price for those policies.
It is a fact that the Clinton
administration set some tough policies on wetlands, and it is a fact
that the Bush administration repealed those policies -- ordering federal
agencies to stop
protecting as many as 20 million acres of wetlands.
In June, Bush took his little
ax and chopped $71.2 million from the budget of the New Orleans
Corps of Engineers, a 44 percent reduction. As was reported in New
Orleans CityBusiness at
the time, that meant "major hurricane and flood projects will
not be awarded to local engineering
firms. Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from
a Category 5 hurricane has
been shelved for now."
The levees of New Orleans, two
of which are now broken and flooding the city, were also
victims of Iraq war spending. Walter Maestri, emergency management
chief for Jefferson Parish,
said on June 8, 2004, "It appears that the money has been moved
in the president's budget to
handle homeland security and the war in Iraq."

The NYW Times finds a flaw in their precious W?
Link
Excerpt:
Bush gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially
given the level of national distress
and the need for words of consolation and wisdom. In what seems
to be a ritual in this administration,
the president appeared a day later than he was needed. He then read
an address of a quality more
appropriate for an Arbor Day celebration: a long laundry list of
pounds of ice, generators and blankets
delivered to the stricken Gulf Coast. He advised the public that
anybody who wanted to help should
send cash, grinned, and promised that everything would work out
in the end.
Nothing about the president's
demeanor yesterday - which seemed casual to the point of carelessness
- suggested that he understood the depth of the current crisis.
Subject: Hey Bart ! volume 1612 was your worst ever...
I cried all day as our iconic, historic,
BEAUTIFUL, New Orleans was ALLOWED to drown.
Money to maintain the levees was diverted years ago by Bush Co. to
fund the Iraqi oil snatch.
And yet you skim right over this MASSIVE DEVASTATION to re hash the
Cindy Sheehan stuff.

| Getting Agnostic About 9/11
They printed this in
the LA Times?
Link
Excerpt:
What would constitute a "smoking
gun" against the official 9/11 account?
There are many. By just ignoring them,
the 9/11 commission implicitly admitted they couldn't
answer them. The towers coming down into a pile only a few stories
high is a smoking gun.
Many laws of physics had to be violated if the official story
about the collapses is true.
[The collapses] had all the earmarks of a controlled demolition
by explosives. One of those
is total collapse into a small pile of rubble. The fact that Building
7 [a skyscraper near the
towers] collapsed when it had not been hit by an airplane, and
collapsed in seven or eight
seconds, that's a smoking gun. The fact that standard operating
procedures were not
followed that morning, and we've gotten three different stories
now by the U.S. military as
to why they did not intercept the planes, that's a smoking gun.
The Secret Service leaving
the president and themselves wide open to being attacked by [not
responding immediately],
that's a smoking gun. I can't say one is bigger than the other.
You've got six or seven that
are equally big.
It happened again, Wednesday.
At 2:05, I remembered I had a dentist appointment at 2:30.
I showered, then brushed my teeth reeeeeal good, like when you're
going to the dentist,
and drove to the other side of town and still, I was sitting
in that dentist's chair at 2:29.
Funny that our fighter planes can't get up as quick as Ol'
Bart with his bad knees.
Were they ordered to stand down?
Wait, I have an idea:
Instead of looking into this now, let's wait about 35 years
so all those involved will be dead
and nobody will ever be held responsible - that's how these things
are usually handled.
Army sent mentally ill troops to Iraq
They don't say if that counts
Der Monkey's visits
Link
Excerpt:
The Army appears to have "inappropriately" deployed soldiers
to Iraq who already were
diagnosed with mental problems, More than two dozen suicides by U.S.
troops in Iraq,
and hundreds of medical evacuations for psychiatric problems, have
raised concerns about
the mental health of soldiers in Operation Iraqi Liberation. An Army
after-action report
suggests that the Army sent some soldiers to war who were mentally
unfit in the first place.
"Variability in predeployment screening guidelines for
mental health issues may have resulted
in some soldiers with mental health diagnoses being inappropriately
deployed," the report said.
Translation:
"Variability in predeployment screening guidelines"
means they sent everybody
they could find over there and when they got caught, they cop to "guideline
variations."
Could they be doing a worse job if they tried?

Rachel Weisz, in 'The Constant Gardener'
.. 
..Link
Excerpt:
Don't be put off by the title: The
Constant Gardener (* * * * out of four) is a masterwork of suspense,
romance and political intrigue. It is a taut and gripping thriller
that dazzles the eyes and engages the brain
in a way that few recent films have come close to approaching.
Told in a non-linear style that
requires close attention, the film is vastly rewarding to viewers
who seek
a smart and complex love story. That it offers passion, betrayal,
gorgeous cinematography, social
commentary, stellar performances and clever wit puts it in a special
category near perfection.
This movie has an epic feel that could make it a best-picture Oscar contender..
...and they chose to advertise on bartcop.com
bartcop.com, where Oscar goes to advertise.
Shouldn't you advertise
