Quotes

"Come on, Mr. President, this can’t be fun for you anymore.
You can’t spend any of our money because you used it all up. And you can’t
start another war because you’ve used up the troops. The cupboard’s bare,
the credit card’s maxed out and no one’s speaking to you — mission accomplished!
Now it’s time to do what you do best: lose interest and walk away, like you did with
your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. Time to move on
and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or spaceman?  You’ve performed
so poorly you should give yourself a medal.” 
     --Bill Maher, and that's why I like him

 Bungler "Brownie" removed
   Why did Bush put a horseman in charge of disasters?

  Link

 Excerpt:
FEMA fraud Michael Brown is being relieved of his command of Bush's Katrina onsite efforts,
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced Friday.

Remember how loud they screamed when Clinton allowed friends and contributors to sleep over
in the Lincoln Bedroom?  Bush put an unqualified (but intensely loyal) friend in charge of
protecting America from disasters and who knows how many thousands will die as a result?

With Bush, we always have to wait until hundreds or thousands of people die 
before the press or the gelding Democrats dare to question Der Monkey.

When they said "Bush doesn't need to be the smartest person in the room?"
they also said, "Because he'll surround himself with esperts."

"Brownie" is an expert at registering Arabian horses and as a result,
  thousands of poor, black people are dead on the Gulf Coast..

Quotes

"It would be wrong to let Michael Brown be the scapegoat for FEMA's sins.
Turns out that a raft of FEMA's top leaders have little or no emergency
management experience, but are instead politically well connected to the GOP
and the White House. This is a scandal, a real scandal. How is it possible that
four years after 9/11, the president treats a federal agency vital to homeland
security as a patronage prize?

Maybe Bush has Osama's guarantee that they won't strike again on US soil..
That one notion explains a whooooooooooooooole lot of things.

 "GFY" Patriot arrest by Cheney's goons

   Link

  Excerpt:
Ben Marble, a young emergency room physician who plays in alternative rock bands
and does art on the side, needs our help. Since he was the one who told Dick Cheney
to "go fuck yourself" on Sept. 8, that's the least we can do.

        
          Free speech patriot Ben Marble

Marble  is a complex guy, to say the least. Some of the lyrics he writes can be considered
harsh by some – personally what I've heard is very much on target - but he has a softer side
as an organizer of breast cancer fund-raisers, not to mention an ER doctor.

When he, like thousands of others, lost his home due to Hurricane Katrina last week,
it was the single most traumatic week of his life. That led to his Sept. 8 confrontation
with the man who best represents the heartless, shittiest administration in U.S. history.

In The Godfather, at the hospital, right after McCluskey broke Michael's jaw,
he was going to arrest the Corleone 'detectives" when Tom Hagen spoke up.

"These men are private detectives. They are licensed to carry firearms.
If you interfere with their jobs in any way, you'll have to appear before
a judge in the morning and show just cause."

I realize that was a fictional story from the late 1940s, but I believe the principle is valid.
Cheney can't just travel around the country and arrest people for speaking.
In every case, the charges are dropped a few days later but they can't do that.

Why can't a Democrat go before a federal judge and ask him to issue a restraining order
forbidding these fascist goons from arresting people for speaking, wearing a t-shirt or
standing on the side of the road holding a sign that says "F-W."

And if there's some Patriot Act horseshit that does give them the right to arrest people who
aren't a threat, then the Democrats should shame them into stopping this illegal practice.

 
       "Bart, you're always trying to stir up some trouble..."

Sidebar:
Back when we had a leader elected by the people, goons like Rush and Hannity reported every
verbal assault on Clinton inspired by them, and back then they claimed it was proof that Clinton
was "hated by the people."    The vulgar Pigboy even said the Independence Day audience
cheered when the White House blew up because, "Clinton acts like a dictator," remember?

So the next time someone says, "How dare you call Bush & Cheney fascist, Nazi bastards?"
just remind them that speaking, wearing a shirt and holding signs are all illegal under the regime
of the never-elected, Bush Family Evil Empire sons of bitches.

  Excerpt:
Hurricane Ophelia parked off the coast of the southeastern United States on Sunday
and could hit North Carolina later in the week, forecasters said. Ophelia was not
expected to strengthen in the next day but could grow stronger after that.

They expected the hurricane to begin drifting west-northwest by Monday,
with the center on or near the North Carolina coast on Wednesday.

Butcher's Rating Dips Below 40

  Link

 Excerpt:
Bush's job approval has dipped below 40 percent for the first time, reflecting widespread
doubts about his handling of gasoline prices and his going AWOL for Hurricane Katrina.

Bush is now at 39 percent. That's the lowest since the the poll was started in December 2003.
The public's view of the nation's direction has grown increasingly negative as well,
with nearly two-thirds now saying the country is heading down the wrong track.

America - what the hell took you so long?
Bush has been defecating in the center of your living room for almost five years
and now you're starting to think maybe your house is starting to smell bad?

dying..whether they are dying in Iraq or Lousiana."

yoa Bart

The Cheney 'heckler' was an ER doctor from NO who lost his home
and was forced into a half hour round a block detour to get back to
his 1 month old baby by Cheney's dog and pony show in his neigborhood!

He heard Cheney wanted to hear from 'locals' so he went down to speak to him!

 No pics of the dead
  Media censored to protect Butcher

 .Link

 Excerpt:
Cadavers raise questions. When people see them, they wonder, how did they get dead?
When a lot of people see a lot of dead bodies, politicians begin thinking of damage control.
Echoing a Defense Department policy banning the photographing of flag-draped coffins of
American troops, FEMA said on Tuesday that it didn't want journalists to accompany
rescue boats as they search for storm victims, because "the recovery of the victims is being
treated with dignity and the utmost respect." An agency spokeswoman told Reuters,
'We have requested that no photographs of the deceased be made by the media.'"

And, of course, the media didn't object to being blindfolded and gagged..

Newsweek has Bush at 38%

  Link
 
 Excerpt:
In Katrina’s wake, the president’s popularity and job-approval ratings have dropped
across the board. Only 38 percent of Americans approve of the way Bush is doing his
job overall, a record-low for this president in the NEWSWEEK poll. (Fifty-five percent
of Americans disapprove of his overall job performance.) And only 28 percent say they
are “satisfied with the way things are going” in the country, down from 36 in August and
46 in December, after the president’s re-election. This is another record low and two points
below the Abu Ghraib scandal. Fully 2/3 are not satisfied with the direction of the country.

What we need is a Democratic House.
What we need is a Democratic House with courage.

Random thought...

Next time you hear them say, "The Democrats are playing politics with Katrina,"
remind them that Tom Ridge has admitted that, while he was running Homeland Security,
the Bush bastards raised the terror alert when they thought it might help them politically.

He f-ing admitted that.

So the next time someone says, "The Democrats are playing politics with Katrina,"
remind them about Ridge before giving them Cheney's famous  "G.F.Y."

Aloha Bart!
Here's a little something from our Ebay sales last week.
We'll actually be on the Mainland visiting family and doing a little "hammerin'" of our own.

We can't wait to see the protest on National TV, which it should be considering all
the other bad press the BFEE has been gettting lately. It's about time! But is it "in time"?
We can only hope.

Subject: Rescue Me

Dear Bart,

In this time of Survivor, American Idol and CNN I wanted to throw my TV out the window.
Then Rescue Me came along. I've admired Denis Leary's work for so long.
He is pure genius.

I wish the networks would get a clue that there is an audience that appreciates
good drama that has nothing to do with cops and crime scenes.
What a powerful performance in last week's show.

Being a former Catholic girl, Mary Magdalene is my favorite character.
Keep telling the truth.

Gerrie in Portland

A couple of shows back, "Tommy" gave mouth-to-mouth to save a little kid
he pulled out of a burning building. When he was done, another fireman told
him to check his lips.  He did that, and found some of the burnt kid's skin on his lips.
I'll bet that's a true story.
Then, a minute later, they do something to make you laugh out loud - hard.

Watching it makes me want to hand a $20 bill to the next fireman I see.

Of course, you have this all wrong.
You say I "seized on" Bush's negligence? ...that maybe killed 10,000 negroes?
That's like Bush drove drunk and killed a city, and I "seized on" the chance to call 911.
How do you spell "Duh!" on your planet?

Good luck in trying to get Bush, nothing else worked and this won't either.

You see him on a winnin' streak, eh?
I think that's why they call it "faith."

Are you hoping his winnin' streak extends to even more success in Iraq,
more success with the economy, and more success saving lives in natural disasters?


Are you having another convention in Vegas soon?

Funny you should ask, because I have half-a-mind to throw another Vegasfest.

 Rehnquist - wacky on the junk

   Link  

 Excerpt:
For the nine years between 1972 and the end of 1981, Rehnquist consumed great
quantities of the potent sedative-hypnotic Placidyl. So great was Rehnquist's Placidyl
habit, dependency, or addiction—depending on how you regard long-term drug use
—that by the last quarter of 1981 he began slurring his speech in public, became
tongue-tied while pronouncing long words, and sometimes had trouble finishing his thoughts.

 Bush lifts wage rules
  That's OK, they're nderprivileged anyway, (giggles)  

  Link

  Excerpt:
Bush issued an executive order Thursday allowing federal contractors rebuilding in
the aftermath of Katrina to pay below the prevailing wage.

In a notice to Congress, Bush said the hurricane had caused "a national emergency" that
permits him to take such action under the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act in ravaged areas of
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi.

The Davis-Bacon law requires federal contractors to pay workers at least the prevailing
wages in the area where the work is conducted. It applies to federally funded construction
projects such as highways and bridges. Bush's executive order suspends the requirements
of the Davis-Bacon law for designated areas hit by the storm.

Here we go again:
Bush gives those multi-billion contracts to Halliburton, who will farm them out to other
greedmeisters who will pay $2 an hour to the darkies because, as the Queen Bitch says,


"...this is working very well for them."

Are the Bushes even human?

The victims of Katrina were supposed to get debit cards worth $2000. but there's

$ 1,000.000.00 vs. $2000
