"Pardon my French, but the barred owl is kicking the ass out of the northern spotted owl. 
  They're raping female spotted owls -- exactly. So if you're going to put an abuse billboard anywhere,

Right attacks 'Sicko'
  by Jay Diamond

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
IDo a search on "Hannity 'Sicko'" or "Romney 'Sicko''' and you will find Sean Hannity recycling talking points
off the panicked presses of the Heritage Foundation, CEI, AEI, Manhattan Institute, etc., bearing dire warnings
of the health care terror Michael Moore and other evil progressives are preparing to inflict on America.

But in all their fear-mongering invocations of the purported evils of "socialized medicine," there is something that
Romney, Hannity, and all the other American rightists consistently omit; and in that deliberate omission is an
important lesson in the way America's hard right works their deceptions.

They never mention that there are more individuals right here in the United States who receive their health
coverage on what you call "socialized medicine" than there are people in the entire country of France.
Add up all the people on Medicare and the Veterans Administration.

Hey Sean, Hey Mitt, Did you forget about Medicare and the VA ?

"I liked Obama, but his comment that Hillary's husband is ready
  and the implication that she isn't seems sexist to me."

W learns from Students

 Link

 Excerpt:
A group of high school Presidential Scholars visiting the White House on Monday surprised Bush by slipping him
a handwritten letter pleading with him not to let America become known for torture and urging him to stick to the
Geneva Conventions with terror detainees.

Since it's rare that Mr. Bush ever sees groups that have not been prescreened to be nice to him, he made the mistake
of opening the letter in front of the students and was surprised to learn that he has made many Americans ashamed by
subverting values that the country has always held dear, like abiding by the Constitution and respecting human dignity.

"We asked him to remove the signing statement attached to the anti-torture bill, which would have allowed
presidential power to make exemptions to the ban on torture," said Mari Oye from Wellesley, Mass.
 

Bush has no shame, so he'll continue to kidnap and torture and murder whoever he wants,
and he'll continue to steal hundreds of millions of dollars a day from Iraq's oil fields.

A legal noose around Bush
 by Sidney Blumenthal

 opendemocracy.net

 Excerpt:
The resistance within the administration to Bush's torture policy, the ultimate expression of the war paradigm,
has come to an end through attrition and exhaustion. More than two years ago, "Scooter" Libby and then general
counsel David Addington physically cornered one of the few internal opponents, subjecting him to threats,
intimidation and isolation. About that time, the tiny band of opponents within approached Karen Hughes,
hoping that the long-time confidante of  Bush, might be willing to hear them out on the damage done by
continuation of the torture policy. But she rebuffed them.
 

Didn't Bush push thru a law that says anything they do concerning the war is legal?

Can Gore save the Earth and John Edwards?

 towncalleddobson.com

 Excerpt:
I am truly saddened about Edwards' message not being as well embraced as I had hoped.
He is running a vastly different campaign than I recall seeing before. He has made it a point
to bring activism to the issues instead of the same tired message of "vote for me."

I was especially impressed how he went to the mat on the war funding bill.
His message of send it back was strong, well received and really did separate him from
the rest of the hand wringers who waited to the last minute to vote "no" on the funding bill.
 

Reminder: It's a lot easier to be for or against an issue when you have no constituency,
no angry mob of voters to face or to hold your feet to the fire when they might disagree.

Obama might have voted for the Iraq Resolution if the Sears Tower was brought down.
and Edwards doesn't have to worry that Carolina is what, maybe 50/50 on this war (?)
because he could lose Carolina and still be president.

Show me a senator who always does the right thing and I'll show you his headstone.

Who's the Phoney?
  by Gene Lyons

 nwanews.com

 Excerpt:
From 1992, the GOP smear machine made Wright look like a prophet. They accused Clinton of everything
from bank fraud to drug-smuggling, rape, even murder. I once asked the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, who peddled
the infamous "Clinton Chronicles," if the commandment against bearing false witness was less important than
the other nine. He said no, then alibied that he didn't know if the allegations in the video were true or not.
That's actually a better answer than you'd get from The Washington Post.

Today, many Democrats harbor similar misgivings about Hillary Clinton's candidacy. Is the U. S. ready to
elect any woman, much less her ? Issues aside, many fear that her nomination would set off a bizarre national
psychodrama ending with Democrats losing the most crucial (and winnable ) presidential election in living memory.
Others are simply sick of her the way they're sick of Paris Hilton and the media's prurient speculation.
 

I haven't heard anybody say this yet, so I'll say it.
I think Gene's right, people ARE sick of hearing trash about the Clintons.

Besides talk radio and FOX News, who wants to talk about Clinton's cock for the next 8 years?.
I think it's dangerous for any Republican to try to bring up the past.
For one, it invites comparisons to Der Murder Monkey.

When someone says, "Do we want 8 more years of Filegate, Travelgate, Blowjobs, etc?"
the answer might be, "That's better than terror, invasions, torture, renditions and signing statements."

I don't think the Republican presidential candidates or the networks want to get into that same swamp and
dirty themselves up with hundreds more wild-as accusations when Bush has committed so many more serious,
obvious and tangible crimes right under our nose.

Subject: 9-11 witnesses

 Link

 Excerpt:
Here is a link that shows one of the so-called witnesses, who claimed he saw the plane hit, 
was actually a TV commercial actor, not the college professor that he claimed.

Quotes

"The woman should be in prison. Has the Secret Service investigated Coulter yet 
  for wishing John Edwards assassinated? Oh that's right, George Bush's Secret Service 
  only investigates liberals, while conservative man-whores are given free rein."
    -- --John Aravosis, on Ann Coulter, americablog.com

Global distrust of Bush

 Link

 Excerpt:
Support for the bloody war in Iraq and Afghanistan and American efforts against terrorism have dropped
since 2002, according to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Views of the U.S. in much of the Muslim
world remain particularly negative.

In one measure of Bush's unpopularity, the poll showed he is less trusted on foreign policy than Putin
by allies Britain, Germany and Canada, even as faith in Putin has plummeted. About half in the U.S.
say they have little or no trust in either leader's conduct of foreign affairs.   (Liars! That's 70%)

Bush's sagging numbers partly reflect widespread opposition to Bush's illegal occupation of Iraq.
Of the countries surveyed - which included the U.S. - more people favored the removal of
American forces from Iraq in all but Israel, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya.

Quotes

"If you want points for not using your son's death politically, don't you have to take down 
  all those 'Ask me about my son's death in a horrific car accident' bumper stickers?"  
      --Ann Coulter, voice of the Republican Party,   Link

Bush to Congress: F.O and Die
 Constitutional showdown is looming

 Link

 Excerpt:
President Bush asserted executive privilege Thursday and rejected lawmakers' demands for documents
that could shed light on the firings of federal prosecutors.

Bush's attorney says they would not turn over subpoenaed documents for Bush nanny Harriet Miers and 
former political director Sara Taylor. Congressional panels want the documents for their investigations of 
Tortureboy Gonzales' stewardship of the Justice Department, including complaints of undue political influence.
 

Here we go again.
A "showdown" looms, but Bush always wins the showdowns.

Both sides will posture and spit, then they'll get behiond closed doors and Harry Reid and Pat Leahy 
will cave in - like fucking always - and then they'll jointly announce that they've come to "an agreement" 
where Bush gets every-fucking-thing he wants.

Don't you hate it when the same movie repeats on TV 1,000 days in a row?

Subject: Kos

I think this shows he can't be bought.

If I was a millionaire, I wouldn't run ads for "bamboozlers."

Also HER negatives are huge and have not been discussed on Bartcop. (to my knowledge)

What's to discuss?
Take all her negatives, real and imagined and put them in a pile.
Next to that, put a Republican who says, "I love this war."
Now tell me who's going to win in 2008.

I know people who want to vote Dem but will not vote for HER under any circumstances. 
She will bring the wingnuts out to the polls in record numbers.

I agree - the nuts would rather have a Republican and more war than Clinton 44.
Let's hope more sane people vote than nuts.
 
What do you think?
 Bill in Amarillo:
 

I think she's got it won unless the Democrats suicide themselves.

Agave commodity

 chicagotrib

 Excerpt:
Tequila could be the ruin of Fernando Chavarin.

The sugar cane farmer has invested $18,000 to grow agave, the raw material for tequila.
He couldn't resist jumping in. Agave prices had soared because planting had not kept up 
with the global thirst for tequila.

Unfortunately for Chavarin, thousands of other farmers had the same idea. As the crops planted 
in 2000 and 2001 reach their cycle for harvest, the market is drowning in agave.

The oversupply has caused prices to tumble to less than $4 per plant, from a peak of $70.
Agave farmers are going bankrupt, even burning their crops in despair. Some farmers have blockaded tequila
distilleries, begging them to buy their plants before they rot away in the rugged fields of Jalisco state.

"We all thought we were going to be rich," said Chavarin, 51. "But we can't scold anyone.
We have the blame for planting it. If we lose it, we lose it. I'm not going to cry."
 

Well I'm going to cry.

How can we be "drowning in agave" when I can't find Chinaco at the spirits store?
And fine tequila hasn't gotten any cheaper.

Hey Bart, the fight of all fights. Boxing, toe to toe, 
Paris Hilton vs. Ann Coulter. 

People would watch.
 Rdando
 

It wouldn't work, because Coulter isn't that hated.
Paris is hated by everybody, Coulter is hated by just half.

There's nothing Coulter could ever do or say to become as hated as Paris Hilton.

Mike Malloy Interview
 
 buzzflash.com

Excerpt:
BuzzFlash:  How you do handle callers? If a caller upsets you, do you just cut them off?

Mike Malloy: It depends on the nature of the caller. Most right-wing or conservative callers, 
or people who call who think they're going to challenge me on a specific point, are functionally illiterate. 
Their minds are capable of parroting only what they've heard from Rush Limbaugh, or a Free Republic, 
or Sean Hannity. They are incapable of carrying on a dialogue. They are eaten up with right-wing religious garbage. 

Subject: Electric cars

Bart,

Grego is right.  You need to see Who Killed the Electric Car.  

It is a great entertaining and educational movie by Disney narrarated by Martin Sheen.  
It is not an accident that these cars were destroyed in the early 2000's during W's administration.  

Buy a copy of this movie, like I did, and enjoy it with your friends.  You will learn a lot.  
http://www.sonyclassics.com/whokilledtheelectriccar/

Also, you need to know that there is another company that is perfecting electric cars RIGHT NOW!  
The company is Tesla Motors.  

Take a look at their site and you may want to buy one with all the money 
you are making from being a bastion of liberal thought.

I wonder if the families who lost a loved on in Iraq are interested in 
America building cars that don't require wars to keep running?

Subject: BCR Show 120

Bart!
 
My Dad has been singing Bill Richardson's praises ever since he entered the race. 
Thank GAHD he didn't see him on MEET THE WHORE. 

I sat there with my jaw dropped listening to him stumbling to avoid answering questions. 
It was a startlingly BAD performance on Richardson's part, and I find it nearly impossible 
to picture him as even a VP candidate after see how truly lost and clueless he was with Russert. 
Respectfully,
 Gino R
 

It's hard to believe he's so bad at answering questions he's heard 100 times before.

Remember the one about his favorite Supreme Court justice?  (That he double flunked.)
Last night, Larry King asked Paris Hilton what her favorite Bible verse was.
She said she didn't have a favorite, because she's smart enough to know whatever answer
she gave, it would be shoved down her throat (so to speak) for the rest of her life.

Too bad Bill Richardson isn't as smart as Paris Hilton.

Subject: Kerry & campaign history

Bart,
 
There's a little more to it (The Swiftboating) than that.  

I disagree, but I'll read your e-mail before I reply.

With the Rovian convention slated for Sep 11, Bushco had a two month campaign in which to spend their $100 million.  
Kerry had a three month campaign, beginning with the end-of-July Democon.  Rove attacked right after the convention 
in order to elicit an expensive response to try to draw down the strictly limited war chest.  

They, Kerry and crew, made a strategic decision to wait until they could go toe to toe with the principals rather than 
dignify what everyone knew were slanderous aspersions.  He didn't decide not to fight or to throw it to his Bones Brother.  

If he had fought through August and run out of funds in early October, how would that sit with you?  
They made their choices and spent their money.  Bad choices?  
Perhaps, but we will never know if it wold have been worse after an August bloodbath.
 Peter
 

Peter, Kerry made so many bad decisions I couldn't pick out the ten worst.
But it costs NOTHING to fire off a fax to the whore AP, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC etc.

That's what Clinton did right in 92 and 96.
Everytime the GOP slime machine made an outrageous accusation,
Clinton's War Room fired off a fax correcting them and showing how
the Republicans were actually guilty of the charges they fabricated against Clinton.

It works every time - if the truth is on your side.

Funny how Gore forgot that.
Funny how Kerry forgot that.

Well, maybe funny ain't the right word.
