Hey, I love your site, by the way. I usually

"She was in 'Finding Nemo' and she played a
character who couldn't remember anything that happened more than a year ago,
so I figured maybe she was a teabagger." -- Alan Grayson, seemingly attacking
Ellen Degeneres, Link
What am I mssing? (besides the obvious)
Why did Grayson semi-call Ellen a Teabagger?
Since I own guns, I'm not usually with the Brady Campaign
but this gun show loophole is a joke and it needs to be plugged.
Last time I went to a gun show, maybe 2005 (back issues)
they couldn't clear me in time to buy a "Gun show" gun,
but they said I could buy one of the gun salesman's "personal" guns.
That's completely crazy.
We sure do! In today's GOP if there's one thing they're short on it's racist, crooked sons of bitches.
BTW, Democrats in Oklahoma would like to thank the racist teabaggers
in Arizona.
If you guys keep this shit up, Oklahoma will no longer be the
most backwards state.
Things are going so well, I told the entire staff

I thought I'd mention to you that I've been picking
up a 100% agave "plata" tequila by the name of Lunazul.
It's origin is Jalisco, it has stupid language
on the bottle about wolves, and it's damned respectable, especially at
$18/bottle.
It's no Anejo, and certainly no Chinaco,
but for a good handmade margarita (buy Mrs. Bart a bottle of agave syrup
next time you decide to squeeze limes and make
her one from scratch- she'll adore you more for it) or even a shot
on a bright, warm day, it's pretty tasty.
For something as raw as a "white" tequila, it's
MILES ahead of that Mexican Gasoline in the Cuervo bottle,
and even has a bouquet that speaks of some fruit
and flowers. No kidding.
Cheers!
Bob at The
Horn
True, if you're making margaritas, it's wasteful to use 100% pure agave
so you're doing the right thing.
Mrs Bart has recently become a fan of agave syrup for her margaritas.

Subject: Arizona's Birther Law
Bart, I think it's clear why they passed that
law.
The next time Obama shows up in Phoenix, Sheriff
Joe can demand to see his papers.
Since the birthers don't think he has any, that'll
prove he's not the legal president
and they can install Sarah Palin and El Chupacabra
in a bloodless coup.

I haven't seen you mention yet the huge glitch
in the AZ Immigration Law.
The part that says if a citizen thinks that the
cops are moving too slow, or that there are still
brown folks who don't have their birth certificates
and passports stapled to their head,
that the citizen can then file a complaint against
the cops and state.
The state has to pay for the lawyer and associated
fees, AND, AND has to pay a fine of $1,000.00 per day
until the case comes to trial. According
the reports I've read, most cases take about a year to get to trial.
So, I think that you and Mrs. Bart should move
to AZ, file a complaint that Sheriff Joe
ain't arrestin' em fast enough and puttin' em
in pink jail clothes.
And then there you are, you're pulling down a
fast $365,000 per annum.
Yer welcome, keep the change.

Right, Mark Halperin is a lying dick, and he's
also a Bush-loving bonehead.
Keep in mind this is a guy who idolizes Karl
Rove, seriously thinks he's a genius, and likes the effect
he's had on American politics. Here's a quote
from "The Karl Rove Crush," Media Matters, Nov. 2006:
"And then there's the new, endlessly worshipful
book, The Way
to Win, by ABC News' Mark Halperin
and The Washington Post's John Harris. (Talk
about a bad time for a Rove-is-a-genius book to hit stores.)
The tome stresses again and again that Rove is
much more than a mere hired political gun, he's a thoughtful policy wonk.
(He reads policy books! He attends policy conferences!)
Halperin and Harris do everything in their power to prop Rove
up as a wise man obsessed with "ideas" and desperate
to implement thoughtful policy. Unfortunately, that loving portrait
completely contradicts previous reports from
inside the West Wing about how the Bush White House is almost uniformly
devoid of serious domestic policy debate. ..."
Link -- Eric Boehlert,
And his track record? Judge it by this idiot
Halperin quote from June 22, 2006:
"If I were them [Democrats], I'd be scared
to death about November's elections."
(Well, yeah, if you're scared of winning big.)
Halperin is one of the worst Republican ass-kissers
in the Beltway media;
he's now trying to pass himself off as a 'real
journalist' but he's still a solid stooge for the GOP.
As Mark Volman (The
Turtles, Flo & Eddie, Zappa) once said...

Who'd a thought that there would be 100 day labor's

Who'd a thought that I would nearly get mugged

After all there is a two wire barbed wire fence

Heck I could hop scotch to and frow across the
border back and forth for miles…

This is why Crooks and Liars is my second favorite
website, right after Bartcop.com.
Not only do they report on the republican crooks
and the lying media whores who prop them up,
but they always post great music new and old.
Tuesday they had a piece about Mike Finnigan,
who played the organ on Jimi's Rainy Day, Dream Away track.
I love both parts of this song. I wish someone
would mash the two parts together just to hear it straight through.
It's great hearing him and Buddy Miles talk about
recording it. Click here and scroll down to the video.

I happen to have that same organ rusting away
in my garage.
My aunt was a church organist and she had a Hammond
C-3 in her living room, along with a baby grand piano.
I spent my teen years playing Rascals songs on
this baby. When she passed away the rest of the family took all
the diamonds and pearls and I took the organ.
The one in the video is a B-3.
The C-3 was the same organ but the speaker was
in the base of the unit. B-3's use a Leslie cabinet and
have an open bottom. I also have the full bass
foot pedal unit. I can barely use both hands on it but my Aunt
had the whole groove down, both hands and both
feet till the saints came a'marchin' in.
If anyone knows a keyboardist who would be interested
in the unit, let me know. It belongs in a band.

It's going to be interesting to see how the Tea
Party crowd responds to the Republicans blocking
the Democrats from stopping bank bailouts and
fixing the problems that led to the collapse of the
economy and the high unemployment and deficits.
Supposedly the Tea Party are "independent" and
are interested in issues. But when the Democrats
give them what they want and the Republicans
block it, will they support the Democrats?
I don't see the Republicans gaining seats this
year when they are against everything that the people want.
