Bush economy 'weakest in decades'
 That's what happens when you coddle the super-rich

 WaHoPo

 Excerpt:
Der Monkey presided over the weakest eight-year span for the U.S. economy in decades and
economists across the ideological spectrum increasingly view his two terms as a time of little
progress on the nation's thorniest fiscal challenges.

The number of jobs in the nation increased by about 2 percent during Bush's tenure,

Wait a minute - what time is it? 
Bush lost 524.000 jobs in December, that's 17,000 lost jobs per day.
January is on track to break that record, so throttle back on the idea that The Idiot
had a positive affect on anything he did after stealing power from Al Gore.

...the most tepid growth over any eight-year span since data collection began seven decades ago.
Gross domestic product grew at the slowest pace since Truman amd Americans' incomes grew
more slowly than in any presidency since the 1960s, other than that of Bush's father.

See?
It's the job of a Republican president to destroy the economy to the super-rich
can swoop in and buy bankrupt American companies for 10 cents on the dollar.

Bush and his aides are quick to point out that they oversaw 52 straight months of job growth
in the middle of this decade, and that the economy expanded at a steady clip from 2003 to 2007.

No, no, no, no, no. They don't get credit for growth after causing a giant downturn
and then getting back half the economic losses they caused.  What's wrong with you?
Only an idiot or someone on the Bush payroll could argue such nonsense.

But economists, including some former advisers to Bush, say it increasingly looks as if the nation's
economic expansion was driven to a large degree by the interrelated booms in the housing market,
consumer spending and financial markets. Those booms, which the Bush administration encouraged
with the idea of an "ownership society," have proved unsustainable.

Bullshit - they stole that money.
The only thing that was unsustainable is, after a while,
there we no longer any banks left that had not yet been robbed.

The Washington Whore Post will lie to the ends of the Earth to try
to convince their readers that Bush wasn't the worst president ever.

Quotes

"Do you remember what it was like right after 9-11 around here?  People were saying,
"How come they didn't see it? How come they didn't connect the dots?" Do you remember
what the environment was like in Washington -- I do -- when people were hauled in front of
Congress and members of Congress were asking questions about, "How come you didn't
know this that or the other?" And then we start putting, you know, policy in place -- legal
policy in place to connect the dots, and all the sudden, people were saying, "How come
you're connecting the dots?"
      --  The Delusional Monkey,    Link
 

 George, try to concentrate when I tell you this:
 Connecting the dots and torture-for-fun are two different things.

 Somehow, your pea-brained mind thinks you're being criticized for connecting the dots.
 That's not the case.

 You're being criticized for attack an oil-rich country that didn't attack us.
 You're being criticized for raping the Constitution.
 You're being criticized for murder, torture and kidnapping.
 You're being criticized for fabricating evidence to invade and steal Iraq's oil.

 Nobody is criticizing you for connecting the dots.

 How did you and your abby-normal brain ever get to the White House?

Bush's 8-Year Ripoff

 Link

 Excerpt:
Three days after the world learned that $50 billion may have disappeared in Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme,
The Times led its front page of Dec. 14 with the revelation of another $50 billion rip-off. This time the vanished
loot belonged to American taxpayers. That was our collective contribution to the $117 billion spent (as of
mid-2008) on Iraq reconstruction — a sinkhole of corruption, cronyism, incompetence and outright theft
that epitomized Bush management at home and abroad.

The source for this news was a near-final draft of an as-yet-unpublished 513-page federal history of this
nation-building fiasco. The document was assembled by a Bush appointee, no less. It pinpoints, among other
transgressions, a governmental Ponzi scheme concocted to bamboozle Americans into believing they were
accruing steady dividends on their investment in a “new” Iraq.

Hey Bart!

So they're getting Jack Bauer to torture people with a Bic pen?
They must be teeing it up for a bunch of comedians.

Is Jack supposed to be MacGuyver with lax moral standards?
Or is he trying to finally prove that the pen can be mightier than
the sword - if you know how to utilize it properly?

Do you think maybe 24 has jumped the shark here?

Bush VS Yellowstone Wildlife

 Link

 Excerpt:
Winter in Yellowstone National Park is breathtaking in its stillness, solitude and beauty. Yet the park is not
always the peaceful sanctuary it appears to be. This winter, Yellowstone's iconic wildlife -- wild buffalo,
wolves and grizzly bears -- are suffering greatly after eight years of disastrous policies championed by the
Bush Administration and the surrounding states. "As soon as President-elect Obama takes office, we'll be
calling on his interior secretary for a more sustainable, ecosystem-based approach for protecting the park's
struggling wildlife populations," says Louisa Willcox, senior wildlife advocate in NRDC's Montana office.
"But right now we've got our hands full trying to prevent serious, eleventh-hour damage that an Obama
Administration could find difficult to reverse."
 

A shot of Chinaco for people and groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council
for keeping an eye on the Bush bastards as they do their best to soil our finest national parks.

A List of Bush Failures
 Is this list even close to complete?

 Link
 

First thing I looked for was the crime of letting Bush's Enron friends horse around
with that submarine that killed a bunch of Japanese students just off Hawaii.

The whore media covered that up and looked for ways to blame Clinton.

Right after that, Bush donated a futuristic spy plane to China and his biggest
concern was whether our captured sailors had enough Bibles.

Bart, have you seen this?

"It was, finally, through pioneering websites like Bartcop, Buzzflash, and the late great
Media Whores Online (moment of silence to show respect) that we liberal grassroots/intellectual

challenge the Democratic Party status quo as well as the Right. So far, the result are mixed,
but I do believe we are having an impact."

Quotes

"There are many terrible handoffs that Bush is leaving for Obama. But there is one overriding
large one -- there has been no terrorist act in this country since 9/11. And I think that is a very
sobering, weighty handoff for this administration.  I think that how Obama handles that -- I think
that's going to be one of the toughest, toughest challenges going forward."
    -- Thomas Freidman.   Link
 

 IF, as I suspect, a deal was made between Bush and Osama, it would figure that  a terrorist attack
 will happen soon after Obama takes office - to prove how great Bush was at keeping us safe.

 The fact is that al Qaeda can hit us anytime they want to but they've CHOSEN not to.
 What else explains that but a deal between Bush and Osama?

 It's a life-and-death puzzle we need to solve.

 Since Obama won't be a party to such a deal - Osama's head is back on the chopping block
 starting January 20th, so America must prepare for another terrorist attack.

 Subject: The Decider, lying again

The liar that he is, Bush said with a straight face at his "last" press conference that He inherited the recession.
He can say that until his face turns blue, but it's so damned far fetched it's unbelievable.

In the summer of 2000, Bush said we needed tax cuts BECAUSE WE HAD A SURPLUS.
Hey Monkey, how did we have a SURPLUS during a recession?

I'm very old, and I'm here to tell you that Bill Clinton, the greatest President of my time,
had this economy in tip-top shape;  in fact better than it had ever been.

How do you say SURPLUS, jobs for all, and peace?
 Marian in MO
 

I agree. If the free market worked,
Bill Clinton would've been the highest paid CEO for 8 years.

In truth, he got $200K for delivering peace and prosperity
while Bush got $400K to kill 4,000 soldiers and bankrupt America.

 Subject: Republicans are great at creating...

Poverty.

Like father like son:
Bush I when he left office unemployment was 7.4%
Bush II will leave the office at 7.2%

America under Bush grew by 23 million.
Two point nine million jobs were created.
So, nine out of ten people didn't find work.
Where are they?

Land of opportunity? Only under Democrats.
Clinton created 23 million new jobs.
Anyone who wanted work found it.

continually reminding the public of the dark years under Bush.

Bart,

Wow, I thought you were the smartest man in Oklahoma.

You actually wrote:

> The tax cuts got the GOP on board,
> but leave it to the Democrats to fuck this up.

Do you really believe the repuglicans are on board because Obama offered to compromise?

He threw some red meat to the wild animals.
Wild animals like red meat - what do you want me to say?

I’m following your earlier advice and waiting to see what happens. The cries from the left
over useless business tax cuts will only help Obama get the stimulus package he wants.

I...might be following you, there...

I’d also like to say, your negative opinion of organized labor is another demonstration of your
Okie intellect, and evidence that you have been brain-washed by Chamber of Commerce propaganda.
My little teamster pension is saving my bacon, the first of every month.

I don't have a negative opinion about unions because I don't know much about them.
Apparently, unions are big back East, but in the Midwest and West, not so much.

You ran the cartoon, but I don't think you really understand?

Still your pal,

I'll run most any toon that's not anti-Obama or anti-Hillary

 Subject: Saddam and his WMDs

I am dissapointed.

It was pretty well covered on the news when the first BS attack Iraq scheme went off.
Did you see how well scud missiles worked ?!? What did that tell you about their missile capability?!? 

Are you saying a blind man firing a gun isn't dangerous?
The Israelis who died in 1991 might disagree with you.
 

...and that was before they were locked the fuck down and their army burned. 
You did hear about the no-fly zone didn't you?!?!

You mean the one that prevented boats from leaving Iraq?
No, I missed that.
Besides, Schwartzkoff's "no fly zone" didn't even cover helicopters.
Are you saying a nuke can't fit on a chopper?
I've seen choppers pick up tanks, so I think you're wrong there, too.

Nuclear boat missiles that were going to result in a "mushroom cloud" off the east coast ?!?! 
(hey they are just sand niggers after all so why bother bringing science into the debate of our 
actions including torture and killing a MILLION iraqi citizens?)

My, aren't you the clever wordsmith.

Boat missiles ! BOAT MISSILES ! Are you f**Cking kidding me ! ! ! 
They need to offer you Kos money because they haven't had a Bush press secretary that good in 8 fucking years.
 Chu
 
I never said anything about a "boat missle," so why are you pretend-mocking that?
Are you saying a nuke won't fit on a boat?
Or that a nuke exploding off Staten Island would cause no damage? 
Do you think a nuke has to fly to be dangerous?

I'm glad you're not our last defense against terrorism.

Mortgage Meltdown Linked to 2005 Bankruptcy Law

 Link

 Excerpt:
There’s no shortage of blame for the mortgage crisis that drove the economy into the ditch.
But here’s a fresh culprit: the 2005 bankruptcy reform act, which was strongly pushed by the
credit card industry. So say three researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
who argue that the legislation shifted risk from credit card lenders to mortgage lenders,
helping trigger the surge in home foreclosures.

Before Congress passed the Bankruptcy Handjob Act of 2005, households could erase
their unsecured debts by filing for Chapter 7 liquidation. That freed up income that distressed
homeowners could use to make mortgage payments.

The new law, however, forced better-off households seeking bankruptcy protection to file
under Chapter 13. That chapter requires homeowners to continue paying their unsecured lenders.
Cash-strapped homeowners who might have saved their homes by filing Chapter 7 are now
much more likely to face foreclosure.
 

The credit card companies were already super-rich - and then they got greedy.

They said they had to charge the poor 30% interest on their cards because of the bad loans,
then they bribed congress to take away the poor's safety net and look what it's done to us.

But don't forget that those trillions didn't "evaporate" or "go missing."
That money was stolen by the super-rich with Bush's blessing.

Remember, Bush & Cheney didn't steal power to help the poor or the middle class.
They stole power so they could rape and rob the Treasury of the United States.

Detroit Drops the Ball
 Why America's Automakers Fell Behind

 Link

 Excerpt:
While watching football the last three weeks, I saw commercials for the new Dodge Ram pickup. 
It had the usual sales pitches, it's tough, it's powerful, etc. But the new Dodge pickup truck also has 
another innovative feature: The wall around the bed doubles as a tool box. 

It is so long that you can get a few fishing poles in there. And it's watertight. 
And it locks. And it doesn't take up any bed space. 

This is a great idea: Finding a use for unused space and not adding any weight to the vehicle. 
So, how's that gasoline mileage? About the same as it has been for a V-8 truck. Not great. 

Meanwhile, over in Japan, Toyota is working on a solar powered vehicle. 
 

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this - not that it's funny.

While Detroit is helping Joe the Fisherman hide his fishing pole,
Japan is working on solar-powered cars..

Doesn't Detroit want to stay in business?

I got the DVD of Led Zeppelin's 2007 show and it's awesome.
Everybody had a great night - even Plant - and that great night was caught on video.

If you're a subscriber, I can get you a copy for $37.

One other thing - it has Extras.

The videographer was in England for a few days so he drove around to well-known Zep sites
and filmed them, sites such as the castle they used for The Song Remains the Same, the mansion 
where the machinegun shootout took place before the music started in the film and Bonzo's grave.

Also, there's maybe 100 pictures of Zeppelin rehearsing a couple of weeks before the show.
All in all it's a very nice package and, unlike a regular movie, you can watch this concert
again and again until you get old  :)

If you know a Zeppelin fan, this would make a great gift.
 

 Subject: That Zeppelin DVD

Hello Bart,  I would like to thank you for doing a great job with your site.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford to subscribe at this time,  
but would love to have the link for the Led Zepplin DVD.

If I donate 25.00 now and promise to send a donation every other month,  
would you provide me with the link?

I will follow through.
Thank You

 Subject: That Zeppelin DVD

Hi Bart. Well, I ain't a subscriber and I can't lay out $100 to subscribe at this time. 
I'm sure the DVD is great, having seen them five times....once more would be great.
 Mike on Long Island
 

Mike and Randy, I'm printing your e-mails in case others are confused.
I wouldn't make anyone pay $137 for that DVD, (as great as it is!)

A subscription is only $10, or just $5 if you're a student, retired, disabled or military.

That would give you a month of BCR to listen to or download.
Then, you might like the radio shows enough to stay a subscriber and 
you'll have that terrific DVD to play the rest of your life  :)
