George McGovern: "Another Vietnam"

 Link

 Excerpt:
As a U.S. senator during the 1960s, I agonized over the war in Vietnam. After doing all I could to save our troops
and the Vietnamese people from a senseless conflict, I finally took my case to the public in my 1972 presidential campaign.
Speaking across the nation, I told audiences that the only upside of the tragedy in Vietnam was that its enormous cost in
lives and dollars would keep any future administration from going down that road again.

I was wrong.

Today, I am astounded at Obama's decision to escalate the equally mistaken war in Afghanistan, and as I listen to
our talented young president explain why he is adding 30,000 troops -- beyond the 21,000 he had added already
-- I can only think: another Vietnam. I hope I am incorrect, but history tells me otherwise.
 

Obama might have good reasons for excalating this war - but I haven't heard them.
Obama said, "I'm conviced this is the right way to go," but did he give his reasons?

How is fighting Afghanistan/Pakistan going to stabilize anything?
Is Obama trying to "reason" with al Qaeda like he's trying to "reason" with the Rethugs?

Lying Gingrich Quotes

"If the left manages to drive through a bill which is opposed by 65 percent of the country on health care, 
  our commitment should be simple - when we get a majority, we’re repealing the whole thing. And I want 
  every Democrat who is about to sacrifice their seat for socialized medicine to understand: after you lose 
  your seat, you’re going to lose the socialized medicine too."
       -- Gingrich, pretending 65% of America loves the cost of the health care they're not getting,    Link
 

 The real message is - if you're going to lose your seat, why not go down fighting?
 The Demo cowards caved in to the Fascist dogs in 1994 and lost everything - will they do it again?
 
 

"The other side has no answers. The other side is not going to improve anything. 
  And if we are not careful the other side is going to turn the whole country into Detroit. 
  Then we will all be uneducated, we will all be poor, and we will all live in dangerous places." 
       -- Gingrich, refusing to admit the lack of affordable health care killed Detroit,    Link
 

 If we had affordable health care, Detroit could compete with Japan, 
 but the GOP loves their insurance bribes more than they love their country.

Why I Hate Obama
 by Matt Tiabbi

 rollingstone.com

 Excerpt:
What's taken place in the year since Obama won the presidency has turned out to be one of the most dramatic 
political about-faces in our history. Elected in the midst of a crushing economic crisis brought on by a decade of 
orgiastic deregulation and unchecked greed, Obama had a clear mandate to rein in Wall Street and remake the 
entire structure of the American economy. What he did instead was ship even his most marginally progressive 
campaign advisers off to various bureaucratic Siberias, while packing the key economic positions in his White House 
with the very people who caused the crisis in the first place. This new team of bubble-fattened ex-bankers and 
laissez-faire intellectuals then proceeded to sell us all out, instituting a massive, trickle-up bailout and systematically 
gutting regulatory reform from the inside.

How could Obama let this happen? 
Is he just a rookie in the political big leagues, hoodwinked by Beltway old-timers? 
Or is the vacillating, ineffectual servant of banking interests who Obama really is?...

There's no other way to say it: Barack Obama, a once-in-a-generation political talent whose graceful conquest 
of America's racial dragons en route to the White House inspired the entire world, has for some reason allowed
his presidency to be hijacked by sniveling, low-rent shitheads.

Obama pulled a bait-and-switch on us. 
If it were any other politician, we wouldn't be surprised. 
Maybe it's our fault, for thinking he was different.
 

So Matt, how do you feel about all those vicious lies you told to get him elected?

You might be telling the truth in this article, I have no idea.
But you're a liar and a whore, Matt, so I don't trust a single word you write.

 Subject: Tiger talk

Hey Bart

I hate this topic, but I have to ask what does Tiger’s sexual habits etc. have to do with what he is? 
He’s a golfer not a porn star. The media wonders why we hate them. 

Let’s hear more about George Will getting thrown out of his house for screwing around 
and the rest of these sanctimonious turds. Otherwise they should go GFT.
 Bill from CT
 

George Will got caught?
I had no idea George Will had sex organs. 

Maybe that's why Will said, "People will forgive Tiger."   Link
He's hoping people will forgive him, too.

I'll say it again - Tiger made a billion dollars by selling the idea that he was squeaky clean. 
So when the squeaky clean billionaire gets caught, over and over, it's a story.

In his last interview before getting caught, he said, "I always put my family first," 
which was clearly a lie and now he's paying the price for his betrayal.

I realize you like Eldrick and you want things to go back like they used to be.
I'm sorry, that's not going to happen and that's not my fault.

There's ONE Tiger toon on today page.
Care to guess how many Tiger toons I've gotten in today's mail?

Boner Is Pro-Christmas

 Link

 Excerpt:
Six weeks ago, John Boehner (R-Liar) decided he was fed up with empty, meaningless congressional resolutions. 
These largely symbolic measures are taken up all the time -- it's been routine fare for years -- but Boehner decided 
they're now evidence of Democratic negligence. "These are your hard-earned tax dollars at work," Boehner scoffed.

He apparently didn't persuade his own caucus. 
This week, 19 House Republicans unveiled a resolution (H. RES. 951) to make it clear that Congress likes Christmas...

That'll show the anti-Christmas crusaders. If this entirely toothless resolution garners support, everyone will know 
that congressional politicians approve of the holiday. All of those folks intent on "banning references to Christmas"
-- presumably they exist outside of far-right imaginations, right? -- won't know what hit 'em.

'These are your hard-earned tax dollars at work.'"

When Is Obama Bluffing?
 He Approaches Issues with a Poker Player’s Sensibility

 Link

 Excerpt:
If there is a single game that comes closest to recapitulating modern existence - it is poker, where quantitative analysis 
and calculated deception come together, and where skill wins out over luck in the long run, except that most people 
don’t have the luxury of waiting until then.

President Obama calls himself a pretty good poker player, with skills honed back when he took part in a regular game 
in Springfield, Ill. The other players in that game - lobbyists and fellow members of the state Senate - describe him as 
a cautious participant: patient, conservative, patient, level-headed, patient, affable - and did we mention patient?

That game started more than a decade ago. Today, Obama confronts more-formidable foes, and for much bigger stakes. 
But in his first 10-plus months in office, he has approached the major issues facing his administration and the country with 
a poker player’s sensibility. That doesn’t mean that he necessarily has been dealt good hands. It doesn’t even mean that 
he has always played his hands well. He hasn’t. What he has done, though, is to make an effort to read his opponents, 
hold his own cards close, keep a straight face, and wait, calmly, for the winning play...
 

So, Obama is letting his enemies roll over him - to set them up for later?

I wish I believed in that 100%.

Subject: How can Palin deny that the poles are melting?

Bart,
Palin can say that because Wolf-fucking-Blitzer will quote Al Gore and then say, "But Sarah Palin says..."
as if that ignorant slut is in the same league on this issue as one of the world-wide experts in the field. 

Blitzer and Chris Matthews are determined to keep Palin's profile as high as they can, 
no matter what she says or does.

Subject: Obama vs Huffington

Bart,

You know old Adrianna was a hard core conservative not too long ago and I think she's Trojan horse for the GOP. 
I'm getting sick and tired of all the Obama bashing. He bowed too deeply, he wore "granny jeans, shouldn't have won the nobel prize, 
"dithered" on Afghanistan, went on an "apology" tour and on and on. 

One year ago the economy was about to collapse, we were shedding jobs at a horrendous rate, fighting two wars (which Bush 
left a mess of), North Korea and Iran trying to get nuclear material for weapons, GM & Chrysler were tanking, the stock market 
was in the toilet, real estate values plummeting, the world hated the U.S., etc., etc. Obama has only been in office less than 11 months 
and what do these back stabbing Dems want? Not to metion the idiot teabaggers, Palin worshipers, and GOP. 

I wouldn't give those troubles to a monkey on a rock!
Shut the fuck up and be patient. 
It took Bush and the GOP 8 years to wreck America, now you expect to have it fixed in less than a year? 
If it's the same old shit 3 years from now, then I will join in, but until then SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Marijuana's Big Fat Zero
Alcohol: 2 million, Tobacco: 5 million, Cannabis Zero

 Link

 Excerpt:
Of course most people know - or should know by now - that cannabis (the Evil Weed, Marijuana!) doesn't kill anybody. 
It is not carcinogenic and appears to be an untapped source of new medicines.

For those who ARE behind on their information about cannabis I point you to this pdf Congressional Research report on 
Medical Marijuana:Review and Analysis of Federal and State Policies

This is a special report produced for the US Congress on your tax dollar. This report is made available to all your legislators 
and this represents the information available to them. It is a little over 50 pages in length and is focused on medical marijuana policy, 
but the real value is in the details of the report which clearly show that cannabis is not remotely the health hazard or social disruption 
tobacco or alcohol - or other hard drugs - are.

If you read this report you will pretty much know what you need to know in order to talk about the topic of "marijuana" 
like a knowledgeable person and not sound like the clueless people who just regurgitate US Government propaganda.

 Subject: Those "Democrats"

Bart,

Watching this Congress trying to pass a health care reform bill is enough to make your head explode.
I've never seen a more dysfunctional unit.  I am about to lose all respect (what little I had left) for Democrats in Congress.
What happened to representing the people who voted you into office? 
Oh yeah, that's not how it works anymore.

With Democrats like Ben Nelson  who need Republicans? He'll sink the bill over abortion.
And  even worse, you have Joe Lieberman,  who has already said he doesn't like the public option 
OR Medicare buy-in, and WILL filibuster.  So how can Democrats expect to accomplish reform 
that isn't a big fat Christmas gift to insurance companies?

Who's in charge here?
It appears to be Joe Lieberman.

I wish Obama would come to work, too.
He's the president - why won't he act like it?.

Democrats couldn't see this coming?  Yeah, right.
They done nothing but enable him all the while.

I don't agree any bill is better than no bill. This whole thing has become FUBAR.
And it's been an eye opener for how Democrats are divided into at least 2 factions, 
making them ineffective and lacking strong leadership.

I don't recognize this Democratic party anymore. (Yes, I'm that old.)

Obama's Squandered Presidency

 Link

 Excerpt:
"After Reagan and Bush the elder, came Clinton who didn’t inhale. (What a stupid line to inhect into an argument
but the insane Clinton-haters never pass up a chance to trash our only double winner in 65 years.) Afterwards the radical right
found their champion in a particularly dense, immoral simian, named George Bush.  Junior bumbled into office nefariously
and deceptively. Progressively inclined Americans are now met face to face with the grim reality that perhaps no progressive
presidential contender is ever going to come forward. At least not one with a chance of being elected. Obama was thought to
be such a man until, after his election, his embracement of progressive ideals were revealed as little more than an election ploy...

Obama is very busy undermining the goals the progressive community sought by his election. The republicans, anxious to
regain the congressional majority, and get Sarah Palin or her equivalent elected as president, are attacking the soft underbellies
of the shameful cowards that make up a Super Majority in Congress. The House and Senate leaders are so frightened by the
eventuality they may be expected to make a decision they appear as tiny figures seen from the wrong end of a telescope
- their comparatively tiny voices squeaking in dismay. With no leader to encourage them, they have predictably abandoned ship.

They shrink to inconsequence when a rising star like Alan Grayson wins recognition by the sharp contrast he defines between
himself and his frightened colleagues. Grayson has no problem standing on the House floor and openly referring to republicans
as “knuckle dragging Neanderthals”. Grayson doesn’t mix metaphors or message when confronting republican troglodytes for
whom he pays not the least respect. Just as the republicans daily disparage “liberal” democrats.

Leading by example, in Grayson’s case, has been a largely thankless task. Imagine Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid, growing a spine.
The Democratic Super Majority, terrified and rendered helpless by its new found power, rolls onto its back and hopes the
republicans will forgive its unexpected and unsought new powers.

Today’s Congressional Democrats are desperately reaching for some comfortable purgatory where edging further right is not
acceptable to their base, but any leftward leanings will anger the republicans. So they compromise, as it were, by floating like
gas filled balloons that are easily smacked back and forth across the middle. Obama is the heir apparent of these new, gaseous democrats."

Golf World in shock
 Eldrick decides to stay in hiding

 Link

 Excerpt:
Tiger Woods’ decision to take “an indefinite break” to repair his marriage was greeted with surprise, bemusement and
even  relief Saturday as golfers, fans and commentators contemplated the immediate future of a sport without its only star.

These are tumultuous times for golf after Friday’s announcement by its No. 1 player that he is taking time out.

“For years to come he will be a figure of fun to comedians great and small,” said Peter Allis, BBC’s tio golf commentator
“Now we have to see how strong his mind is.”
 

Seems to me golf is just what Eldrick needs.
They say his wife moved out - so how's he going to "work on his marriage?".

Also, they say (not a joke) Tiger is loading his luxury yacht for a trip out to sea.
I hope he's not considering doing something really stupid. (Think Big Pussy)

If he kills himself people will blame me and I'm not in the mood.

It was a great weekend!

I went to a basketball game last night - seriously.
Bartcop - at a short-pants sport that isn't boxing?

We got to Oklahoma City early so we could try Irma's Burger Shack.
Mmmmm buy, them's good burgers.
This is a tiny place, maybe 20 seats - a real throwback to the late fifties.

Then we went to the game and picked up our tickets.
There were four tickets and there was just two of us, so we had a debate on
the morality of selling the extra tickets because ticket scalping is legal in Oklahoma.

But in the end, Wiseguy the Bootlegger quotes Nixon and said, "...but that would be wrong."
so we gave the tickets to a guy who wanted to see today's best basketball player (they say).

 The Game

My good friend Joe fixed us up with excellent tickets.
We were right under the basket and Shaq fell on me - damn he's a heavy guy.

But Lebron put on a clinic. I was impressed. One time, he was in the corner and 
he f-ing FLEW towards the basket and just as he got there, the ball appeared and 
he slam dunked it to the ooohs and ahhhs of the OKC crowd.

Another time he ran thru the entire team - like he was smoke - and slammed it in.
The Okie crowd was seeing real basketball (Like I would know :) maybe for the first time.

Another time he stole the ball and, with nine other dudes chasing him, he outran them while
he was protecting the ball like a running back while flying thru the air - then he did a reverse
and back-slammed the ball in and the crowd made a sound like we heard at that last Vegas
Tequilafest when we all tried the Chinaco Emperador for the first time.

Shaq?
He played a few minutes here and there - if you can call that playing.
He basically leaned on smaller dudes (everyone there was smaller than Shaq.)

But we had a great time and it's all because Joe in Cleveland fixed us up with tickets.
Thanks, Joe, I hope you enjoy your Bartcop radio :)
