Quotes

"A former prime minister of Canada said, 'It's not so much that we Canadians are anti-American, 
it's that we are very, very worried about a headless giant.' And that stuck with me because that is an 
apt metaphor in some cases for this superpower right now. It seems leaderless. It seems directionless."

Halliburton steals $169 millions, gets bonuses

  Link

 Excerpt:
The Army Corps of Engineers paid profits and bonuses to Halliburton for work in Iraq even though the 
Pentagon's own auditors declared $169 million in costs for the work to be "unreasonable" and "unsupported." 

Henry Waxman (D-CA) requested hearings on how Halliburton could have been awarded $38 million 
in bonus payments for contract work plagued by overcharges. 

Specifically, Pentagon auditors said Halliburton overcharged the military by $169 million, 
but the Corps of Engineers repaid $124 million of the cost to the company anyway.

"Bush has offered no explanation for this decision," Waxman said.

 Hounding Hillary
  Anti-war group wants four more years of Bush

 Link

 Excerpt:
Anti-war activists furious with Hillary are vowing to bird-dog her everywhere she goes, starting with a
swanky Manhattan fund-raiser tonight.  Clinton's letter last week clarifying her position on Iraq - which
included rejecting a timetable for withdrawal - fanned the anger of some war opponents, who decided
to launch a campaign against New York's junior senator.

"We're calling it Bird-Dog Hillary," said Medea Benjamin of the peace group Codepink.
"I'm so mad at her," said Nancy Kricorian, Codepink's New York City coordinator.
"We will dog her wherever she goes."

I wonder, are they also "dogging" the man who lied 2130 soldiers into their graves?
Or will they just hound our best bet to return sanity to the once-greatest nation in the world?
Is there any GOP money behind the "We Must Stop Hillary" forces?
 

Kricorian's group and several others plan to show up (last night) at Crobar in Manhattan, where 
Bill Clinton is the top draw at a fund-raiser for his wife. The idea is to have protesters tail Hillary
around the state and the country in hopes of persuading her to oppose the war.

Do these people think a BFEE victory in 2008 will save lives?

Yep, I'd sure like to know who's heading this and who's financing it.
The GOP helped finance Nader, and that worked great - why not do it again?

Subject: Heading in the wrong direction

This Iraq war is making America weaker and the enemies of America stronger.
And Bush wants us to "stay the course"?   I don't think so!
When one figures out they are heading in the wrong direction it is time to turn around.

"We were abandoned. City officials did nothing to protect us. We saw buses, helicopters 
and FEMA trucks but no one stopped to help us. We never felt so cut off in all our lives. 
We were cursed when we asked for help for our elderly. We had guns aimed at us by the 
police who were suppose to be there to protect us." 
    --Patricia Thompson, a victim of Bush's Katrina bungling   Link
 
 

Maureen Dowd has offered the first Katrina explanation - that I've heard, anyway .
She told Craig Ferguson that the Giggling Murderer had gained 7 pounds while on his
endless vacation and was busy cycling and exercising, trying to take it off.

If true, that's why they can't explain themselves, because the truth is so damn crazy.

While people were dying of starvation and thirst, Mr Conceited was busy trying
to lose seven pounds so he could look good for Condi, Karen and Harriet.

Remember how the talk radio bastards and the news anchors told us in the summer of 2000 
that there was no need for the president to have a brain, because he'd be surrounded by people 
who did have brains?   Where were the brains for those five days in New Orleans?
 

  Dying in Iraq, dying in New Orleans, while Bush is saying, "Watch this drive!"

 Can there be any doubt he's the worst president ever?

Subject: felt up at the airport

Bart:

Last year I flew to Kansas City for X-mas.
This 68 or so year old lady had to feel me up in order to get through the gate.
It was so disgusting!
She felt my breasts. . .ugh.

FYI to any one flying out of Kansas City: Make sure you go to the bathroom before you enter the terminal!
If you have to leave to pee, you get felt up again on re-entry. I really now understand the right to privacy.

"Duke" heads to the pokey
   by Joe Conason

         "Boo hoo - I got caught..."

 Link

 Excerpt:
For a crude bully who used to bray about lining up Democrats and anti-war protesters to be "shot," Randy (Duke) 
Cunningham cried like a little baby the other day when he finally admitted taking millions in bribes from defense contractors.
During his career on Capitol Hill, Mr. Cunningham's style was loud, mindlessly reactionary and full of flag-waving bluster. 
He once described Bill Clinton as a "traitor" and compared Senator John Kerry to Jane Fonda on the House floor. 
This hyper-patriotic scoundrel also turned out to be avaricious, deceptive and as eager to sell himself as a male escort. 
He misused his authority to steer federal contracts to the contractors who bribed him, and he doesn't seem to have 
hesitated to damage the national interest if his personal interests were served."
 
 

This sick bastard lived in an $8M mansion - on a salary of $150K?
He drove a Rolls Royce and partied on his private yacht?

...and the American whore press 
stayed silent to protect him 
because he was a Republican.

They allowed him to direct defense contracts to companies who paid him the most.
That's f-ing treason and we'll never know how many men died so "The Duke" could live like a king.
 

Cunningham Corruption Put Troops at Risk

 Link

 Excerpt:
Cunningham's Washington meant launching biting partisan attacks and questioning the patriotism of his foes, all based on 
ostensible fealty to what was best for the troops, while in reality putting his own enrichment as his top priority. A look back 
at some of his most scathing denunciations of fellow veteran John Kerry last year shows that some of them came on the 
same days he was getting checks for as much as $500,000 in bribe money.

Cunningham has now confessed that he steered defense contracts because of that bribe money "and not because 
using Coconspirators Nos. 1 and 2 was in the best interest of the country." 

Considering one of those contracts was to find better ways to protect American troops from roadside bombs in Iraq, 
that alone is an admission that would bring shame to Cunningham. But there are many more admissions in that document
— enough to catapult him, amazingly, to the top of the historical list for corruption in Congress.
 

...yet they calll Clinton "corrupt" because he had a girlfriend.

Pirro: Nowhere to run
 Hillary kicks her ass before the race starts

 Link

 Excerpt:
Jeanine Pirro is preparing to call off her challenge to Hillary, but she might be boxed out of the state attorney
general's race, too, Republican insiders said yesterday. Well-placed GOP sources said there could very well
be no room for Pirro on the Republican ticket.  Pirro apparently has fallen victim to the feud between her mentor,
Wacky Pataki, and Senate GOP leader Joe Bruno - and to the taint around her husband, Al, a mobster.

"The husband has become a much too heavy load for her to carry into the attorney general's race,"
said Roger Stone, a veteran GOP strategist.

You could call it the Contradictory Strategy.

If I was head of the DNC, Hillary wouldn't have to pretend so much.

Random Thought...

No doubt, Victoria's Secret very attractive women modeling their products, but what's up with the wings?
I thought the whole point was to create a mood-inhancing fastasy that would make you whip out your wallet.

I don't know about you, but I've never wanted to have sex with a bird.  A Bunny, maybe, but not a bird.
Guys, what would you do if your wife or girlfriend went to Victoria's Secret at the mall and bought home 
some frillies and furries to model for you at bedtime - then came out of her closet wearing 10-foot wings?

Maybe, as a child, I was chased by a hungry goose at a lake.
Maybe a robin stole a worm from me when I was too young to remember.
Maybe a woodpecker landed on my head and went rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat.

I get that they're supposed to be angels, but the ten-foot wings scare me to death.

Maybe it's a Catholic thing?

Subject: Wikipedia

Bart,

Wikipedia is an open editorial system, that allows anyone (or  virtually - rules have changed a little, for the better, this week),
to contribute new articles or edit existing ones. It has standards -  primarily that all submissions should attempt to provide a
neutral  point of view - but like all wiki (it's not unique) it can be at  least temporarily spoiled by people with an agenda.
That's both the  up and downside of this medium - it's a democratic system, where  devoted users do attempt to keep an eye
out for malicious edits, and  by and large it works quite well - but things do slip by.

But at the end of the day, someone's in charge, right?
If anyone can edit it, the last thing they have is a shred of credibility.
The Bartcop Forum and the Bartcop Chat Room have many moderators,
but when a decision needs to be made, the guy who writes the checks decides.
 

You shouldn't ever take a single Wikipedia article, at a single point  in time, as representative of an agenda, or the project
as a whole.  It has a strong tendency to be self-correcting, and since everyone can be an editor, if you have a beef,
nothing prevents you from making  a change instantly. It really is that easy - in fact I'd bet that editing on Wikipedia
is a lot easier than what you go through to publish your site (another topic I've been meaning to take up with you).

I think your information may be inaccurate.
They decided Perkel was a self-promoting fraud because he puts reality above religious superstition.
They decided Perkel's Church of Reality only had one member, himself, when the truth is that several hundred
logical realists have signed on and I'm proud to be one of them. He asked Wikipedia to correct their mistakes, they refused.

A non-whore objective reply would've been, "The size of CoR membership has yet to be verified," at the least,
but they saw a chance to go after a lefty and they took it and refused to back off.

I don't mind someone putting an opinion web site together - but they need to dial back the 
"You can trust us because we're honest and factual" throttle until someone takes control 
of the bad neighborhood that wikipedia has become.
 

Don't write it off - it's truly one of the greatest phenomenons on  the Web to date, and there doesn't seem to be any
indication it is  falling apart or breaking - but at any given moment you may well  stumble across a political agenda
demonstrated in a sneaky edit.  That, like in all democracies, is the cost of doing business this way.

Keep up the great work, and keep swinging that hammer!
RH
 

RH, thanks for that, and please don't assume my anger is directed at you.
But as long as "everyone" can edit, Wiki is nothing but grafitti spray-painted on an html wall.

Spokane GOP Mayor Recalled in Gay Sex Scandal
 Isn't there one 'normal' Republican left in the country?

 Link

 Excerpt:
Mayor James E. West was recalled from office Tuesday in a special election over
allegations he offered jobs and perks to young men he met in a gay Internet chat room.

West, a former Boy Scout executive and sheriff's deputy, was elected mayor in 2003
after serving more than two decades as a fascist bastard where he voted against gay-friendly bills.

Gay Republicans have no choice but to hate themselves, right?
 

The recall petition contended West used his political office for personal benefit by offering a city internships
to gay online chatters and with whom he had sexually explicit chats.  One person he believed was a high school
senior was actually a computer expert hired by the newspaper to snare West.

Opie & Anthony stunt injures reporter

  Link

 Excerpt:
Today a fan sounded an air horn in a reporter's ear and this action may result in permanent hearing damage 
for the reporter who was harassed.  Reporters are professionals who provide a great service to the public 
by delivering news.   They should be treated with respect and not antagonized as part of a radio show gag.
 

I admit it's wrong to injure a reporter, but how crazy do you have to be to authroize a statement that says,
"Reporters provide a great service to the public?   They should be treated with respect..." 

ha ha

That's crazy talk.
If it wasn't for lawyers, reporters would occupy the lowest rung on the scum ladder.

Subject: Changing careers

I have a request...and if you can't do it, that's fine.
I have decided to leave the "treatment center" business. 

I'm tired of working every holiday, 100 hour weeks, and not having much of a life outside work. 
So, I have asked to step down, and they are willing to keep me for a few months while I look for another job. 

I've been working in group homes for teenagers so long that I might soon see the kids of residents 
I worked with in the past, and I'd like to have a weekend off for the first time since 1988.

So, since I know you have DOZENS of readers in the Minneapolis area, I was wondering if you'd 
put the word out on your page that I'm looking for a management or HR position in the area.

Jeffry Alan Rogers - Dead at 21
    by Bob Reynolds

 Link

 Excerpt:
Jeffry Alan Rogers was a handsome young man. Born January 26, 1984, he had volunteered to join the Marines
just out of high school. The minister said that "911 had a great impact on Jeffry." Apparently, he had joined the
Marines to fight against those who would fly airplanes into our buildings. He had a girlfriend and had purchased a ring.
He planned to propose to her when he got back home. Jeffry was excited when he described the ring to roommate
(now 13,000 miles apart) "do you think she will like this one?"

Cheney - the Velcro Bastard
  White House problems stick to him

 Link

 Excerpt:
The most powerful vice president in American history (because Bush is a brainless puppet) finds himself at the center 
of storms these days over prewar lies, the love of torture and his treasonous Chief of Staff.  Cheney is unwilling to 
admit mistakes, he's wedded to oil greed and secrecy and the press has started to report evidence of his crimes. 

"The paradox of this vice president is the things that made him so valuable in the beginning to the president have 
come back to haunt him," says Paul Light, a political scientist at NYU.   "Everything that's bad in the administration 
has come back to stick to Dick Cheney. I call him "the Velcro vice president."

Cheney has been publicly reproached in recent weeks by Brent Scowcroft and Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff 
Colin Powell.   Wilkerson called Cheney the leader of a secretive administration "cabal" that undermined the normal 
decision-making process in its push for war.  Scowcroft said Cheney was "the real anomaly in the administration" 
and added, "Dick Cheney I don't know anymore." 
 

How long before Cheney has "a health problem" and resigns?
To whom will Der Monkey hand the 2008 momentum?

Some say Kinda Sleazy Rice, the only possible concrete barrier in the way of The Hillary Juggernaut.
Dick Morris (R-Ho-Toe-Sucker) has a theory:

In 2000, Gore got 49 percent of the female vote
In 2004, Kerry got only 46%, because women "thought Bush would keep them safe."
In 2008, Hillary could get 65% of the female vote, which is about 10 million votes.

Would Democrats welcome an additional 10 million votes on Election Day?
Do we want to win in 2008 and bring back a Democratic House and Senate?

Or do we want to punish Hillary (and America) because some differ on her anti-war timing?

The Next Iraq Offensive
  by Wesley Clark

  Link

 Excerpt:
As the Bush administration and its critics escalated the debate last week over how long our troops should stay in Iraq, 
I was able to see the issue through the eyes of America's friends in the Persian Gulf region. The Arab states agree on 
one thing: Iran is emerging as the big winner of the American invasion, and both President Bush's new strategy and the 
Democratic responses to it dangerously miss the point. It's a devastating critique. And, unfortunately, it is correct. 
While American troops have been fighting, and dying, against the Sunni rebels and foreign jihadists, the Shiite clerics 
in Iraq have achieved fundamental political goals: capturing oil revenues, strengthening the role of Islam in the state, 
and building up formidable militias that will defend their gains and advance their causes as the Americans draw down and leave."
 

 We need a guy like this in the White House.
