Quote of the Day "Bush can't rewind the    TiVo and go back to before."       -- The vulgar Pigboy, coming close            to admitting Bush has made mistakes.

In Today's Tequila Treehouse... Military hara-kiri  Perky & Hillary  Too Many Mommies Hillary vs Obama?  Our big cash crop War is already lost  Is Religion Homicidal? War on Christmas  Lara Flynn Boyle

Quotes

"Harry Reid, when asked if he would support more troops in Iraq, he said he would as long
  as Bush promised him it would be temporary in nature. I am sure Bush will promise him that.
  Then he'll share a laugh with Cheney over how easy the Democrats are to push around.
  Democrats need to shake the cobwebs out and realize they have been given power.
  They weren't given power so that they can continue to bow down to Bush's absurd ideas."

No Military Hope, More Troops
  by W. Patrick Lang and Ray McGovern

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
Rather than admit responsibility for one of the worst political/military blunders in U.S. history,
Bush is on the verge of committing more American soldiers to the quagmire in Iraq, a course
that faces unanimous opposition from the Joint Chiefs, according to the Washington Post.

This so-called "surge" could put the U.S. military in an untenable position of waging a bloody
battle to reclaim Iraq while deepening the prospect of strategic defeat:  Robert Gates probably
does not realize is that the U.S. military is about to commit hara-kiri.

"They had a dictator who was brutal but they had their streets, they could go out, their kids
  could go to school and come back home without a mother or father worrying.  (Under Bush),
  the Iraqi government has not been able to bring the violence under control."

Subject: cash crop

Just a point about the #1 cash crop.
If it was legal, do you think it would sell for $200 an oz. I don't.

If it was legal, you could get a pound for $100!
If corn was illegal, it would cost $50 an ear.
If it was legal, it would be down there with wheat and corn,
and you could buy it just like cigarettes or a pint of Jack Daniels.
 Bob n Simi
 

They say it doesn't work that way.
I talked to "the dude" and he assured me those
California pot stores pay $3,000 per pound or more.

I asked why someone didn't sell it to the store for $2500 and he said
"They just don't do that," which sounds crazy to me.

It stands to reason that somebody with 20 pounds of pot
would rather have 18 pounds and $5,000 in cash.

It's my understanding those Cali pot stores charge $300-$400 an ounce.
You'd think a pot store (it's crazy to write those words) would open up
down the block with $250 ounces and the bidding war would be on.

If  you  are from Califormia and know how this works - write to me.

Does Couric's Stumble Signal Hillary's Fall?
  by stupider-than-dirt, former Democrat Susan Estrich

 foxwhorenews.com

 Excerpt:
America wasn't truly ready for the first solo woman evening-news anchor, let alone
someone smart and attractive with pretensions to sounding puckish and hip...

Now consider: if this is what Katie gets after three months,
just imagine, imagine what we're in for with Hillary.
 

Why does FOX Whore News spend so much time telling YOU that a vote for Hillary is wasted?
Why does FOX Whore News want every Democrat vote to count?

You know the reason.
They're afraid of Hillary and they want her stopped.

That show Big Brother?
They have cameras all over the house and CBS webcasts the contestants nude

It just seems like an odd thing for CBS to do.

"The $40 million that was set aside to treat rescue workers, volunteers and firefighters
  who became ill after the 9/11 cleanup will run out in months, federal officials say.
  They said at the current spending rate, the treatment money would run out by summer.
  They may be forced to notify thousands of patients that their treatment could soon end."
     --Sewell Chan,    nywhoretimes.com
 

"This is America. We use our money for wars against countries that present no threats
  against us, not to help the heroes who risked their lives on 9-11 as their own government
  lied to them about the health effects of breathing the air there. So quit whining .."
    --Eric Alterman,   nywhoretimes.com
 

We spend $2,000,000,000 per week on Bush's bloody quagmire.
Each week, we throw away a year's health care for Bush's 9-11 victims.

Subject: Powell, Hillary

Bart, I've been a member for years, but this is thefirst time I've called you out.

I'm overdue for a good straightening out.
 

You referenced this quote by Colin Powell:

> "If it's grave and deteriorating and we're not winning, we are losing."
    -- Colin Powell, (Liar, manslaughterer) on CBS's face the Whore
 

You seem to be forgetting that your front-runner went along with the
same info that Powell had, though Hillary (D-Complicit) gets a pass?

I love what you do, but this was just stupid on your part.
 Minnesota Matt
 

I think one of us is in error.
There's a BIG difference between telling a lie and believing a lie.
Why would you think to equate the two?

Powell knew he was lying - the report we heard was Powell read the speech
he was to give to the UN and threw it into the air saying, "This is bullshit,"
but then he went ahead and lied and now we have 2952 dead soldiers.

Powell also was quoted in 2001 saying "We have Saddam contained,"
but he changed his toon when his White Masters barked at him.

When did Hillary lie?

Hey Bart,

Feeling as you do about the importance of the brothers Parry and their blog,
I was wondering why you hadn't let your readers know of the shameful shortfall
being experienced by the Consortium News site's latest fundraising drive.
Less than a 1/4 of their goal!!??!  It's disgraceful.

I can't afford it, but I'm givin' em a twenty-dollar bill.
Some things are even more important than paying the bills ontime this month.
 Doug
 

The answer is self-preservation.
bartcop.com  is having it's worst financial year ever and we're trying to hang on, like Parry.
Most Democrats are dead broke and there's only a few donation dollars to go around.
(I bought a banner ad on consortiumnews.com this week to help them stay afloat)

If it wasn't for the t-shirts, shotglasses and bc-hotties
I'm back at the car lot with Vic the Racist.

Two Mommies Is One Too Many
 by James Dobson (Right-wing Religio-Crazy)

 Link

 Excerpt:
30 years of social-science evidence indicates that children do best when raised by their married
mother and father. That is not to say Cheney and Poe will not love their child. But love alone is
not enough to guarantee healthy growth and development. The two most loving women in the world
cannot provide a daddy for a little boy--any more than the two most loving men can be complete
role models for a little girl.

Isn't there something in our hearts that tells us, intuitively, that children need a mother and a father?
Admittedly, that ideal is not always possible. Divorce, death, abandonment and unwed pregnancy
have resulted in an ever growing number of single-parent families in this culture.

Dobson, like other right-wing religio-crazies, says having a mother and father is "better" than not.
Maybe most people agree with that, but why set your hair on fire if "better" isn't achieved?

It would be "better" if Mom was paid more than $5.50 for her job at McDonald's,
but the Republicans always veto that idea.

It would be "better" if Mom and child had health care,
but the Republicans always veto that idea.

Dobson and his Fascist friends don't give a goddamn about the mother and her child.
They just want to use gay hatred as a wegde to reinforce their religious insanity
because they can't stand to face the day without a little friend who sits on their
shoulder to protect them from the non-existent demons they claim cause sin.

If they would embrace reality and forget the superstitious horseshit,
the world would be better off - but then, Dobson would need to get a job.

Hillary to destroy Obama?
 by right-wing handjob Tony Blankley

 tnr.com

 Excerpt:
If Hillary Milhous Clinton begins to believe that Obama is a threat to her inheritance of the White House,
it will not be long before his own mother will not recognize the public image that Hillary's operatives will
have drawn of him. He could ask Paula Jones (and all the other innocent women "her husband" attempted
to seduce and abandon) or Ken Starr (one of the nation's most admired jurists before he was assigned to
investigate "her husband"). Or consider my old boss Newt Gingrich (R-Boy Toucher) -- Bill Clinton's
primary political opponent in the 1990s. Mr. Clinton's IRS very publicly opened an investigation of Newt
for tax fraud. They kept it open for years, and then, a few weeks after he retired, the IRS quietly announced
the investigation was complete and he was innocent. (I have cash money that says that's a lie)
But not before Democrats spent years using that phony investigation as a basis for calling Newt a tax cheat.
That's the way the Clintons play the game. They call it the policy of personal destruction.
For Mr. Obama's sake, I hope he is ready for the game he is so anxious to get into.
 

Nobody in politics plays meaner or more ruthless and crooked than the BFEE.
Blankley has to condem Hillary for "crimes" she might commit in the future because
there's nothing in her past to justify such horseshit.

Paula Jones and Hardon Kenny were always about "getting Clinton" and not the truth.
Blankley's just angry because the GOP has been soundly rejected by the voters.

It's odd that Blankley, (another GOP Boy Toucher), cares so much about Obama.
He's so afraid that mean old Hillary is going to mistreat poor, helpless Barack?

The war is already lost
 Can't get news like that in America

 guardian.co.uk

 Excerpt:
Once a war goes bad and its justifications are shown to be lies, to insist that a "democratic"
Iraq is visible on the horizon and that "we must stay the course" becomes a total fantasy.
What is to be done?

In the US a group of Foggy Bottom elders was wheeled in to prepare a report. They admitted what
the whole world already knew: the occupation is a disaster and the situation gets more hellish every day.
After the November vote, the White House sacrificed the Pentagon warlord, Donald Rumsfeld.

None of the scenarios being canvassed in Washington, including by the Democrats, envisage a total
US withdrawal. That is a defeat too unbearable to contemplate, but the war has already been lost,
together with half a million Iraqi lives. Trying to delay the defeat (as in Vietnam) by sending in a
"surge" of troops is unlikely to work.

Subject: Hillary

In your zeal for all things Clinton I think your actually managing to do a disservice to us all.
I think a frank discussion of the issues and their adherants serves us far better than
the loud drumbeat of support that you have been rapping out for nearly a year now.
 
No poll this far out is worth spit, particularly when you don't tell us much about what she
has been doing for America and for the issues and ideas that liberals and democrats stand for.
 Nek
 

Nek, I have an opinion.
I think the only thing that can stop her from being president is a Demo back-stabbing.

You might be right about the early polls, but if they don't count,
why are some Demo web sites lying about them?

I would be ashamed if CNN and FOX quoted  bartcop.com
as "proof" that the Democratic front runner can't win.

The War on Christmas
  by Betty Bowers

 bettybowers.com

 Excerpt:
The first shopping skirmish of the season occurred when my Personal Shopper spotted secular
insurgents maraudering behind the Estee Lauder counter.  I personally overheard several of these
"Happy Holidays" extremists, uniformed in the Lauder infantry's blue, paramilitary smocks, boldly
declare a jihad on the Baby Jesus' birthday.  As I feigned interest in an egregiously harloty shade
of bright red lipstick, I overheard the make-up militia chant such bellicose, Christmas-hating
greetings as "Have a wonderful holiday!" to civilian shoppers.

Random thought...

Donald Trump bought the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants
as a power trip and an excuse to be hanging around the babes all day.

He gets to feel he "owns" them.
If a girl has a problem, she must go to King Trump and beg for forgiveness.
I say he's a sick bastard, but not as sick as Rosie O'Donnell.

Why can't she shut her mouth for five minutes?
Rosie makes more enemies each day before noon than most people make in a lifetime.

How do gay people feel about Rosie and her constant headline-grabbing fights?

Is Religion Homicidal?
 
 Link

 Excerpt:
The latest violent video game, Left Behind, is designed for Christians.
The goal is to convert non-Christians and murder the ones you can't.
The game is based on the psychotic ravings of  the Book of Revelation.

Some naïve folks are upset that this game goes against the precepts of tolerance and pacifism
and reverence for life that Jesus preached, but most self-designated Christians seem to have
found ways to spin the doctrine that allows them to be as belligerent, violent, intolerant, and
murderous as Herod himself. In my personal experience (and I was raised Christian) it's easier
to find an atheist practicing the teachings of Jesus than a Christian."
 

Boy, he's got that right.
I've never turned my back on the organized, systemic raping of little boys,
so that puts me on higher moral ground than the Pope, right?

But if it weren't illegal, the price probably would be sixty cents a pound
or maybe even less, since it's so easy to grow.

No war on drugs, no profit on drugs, or at least a lot less.
Think of the poor bankers, Bart.

Not to mention that non-violent drug offenders
make great prison fill (another free-enterprise miracle).

But that's how we'd pay off Bush's deficit.

Pay the farmer a $100 a pound and sell 20 in a pack for $10.
That would make maybe $9 profit that would bring America back!

We could party our way back to prosperity!

Being tired of Stupid Television is why I, whose as far from being
a sci-fi geek as you can get, watch the new Battlestar Galactica.

This show is the best written show on television, now that Buffy's gone,
and Edward James-Olmos and Mary McDonnell give it all the dignity it needs.
Give it a try if you haven't already.
