"Will the last Republican in Hollywood turn
off the lights?"
-- UncleDon, commenting on the death of Dennis Hopper
I always liked Dennis Hopper - until he turned Bush bastard on
us.
I thought his best scene was in True Romance, written
by Quentin Tarantino.
He had information that mobster Christopher Walken needed,
and Walken's goons were ready to torture him to get that info.
But Hopper and Walken connected non-verbally and Walken
permitted Hopper to die suddenly instead of torturously.
"3,000 killed on 9/11 was tragic enough. The
solution? Invade two Countries illegally and watch another 5,000 die, not counting many,
many thousands more civilians and children in Iraq & Afghanistan. Add in refugees fleeing these Countries
and you have literally millions of people displaced or dead. If this is ‘winning’, wtf does losing
look like?" -- Zimzone
Under federal law oil companies like British Petroleum
can only be held liable for up to 75 million dollars.
However if an individual downloads music illegally
it will cost you a fine of 250 thousand dollars.
So the maximum penalty for destroying the entire
gulf coast is the same penalty as downloading 300 songs illegally.
After we the taxpayers bailed out the banks, now
we have to bail out the oil companies?
Although the Constitution says "We the People"
it seems like the country has been run like
"We the Corporations". Whatever happened to concepts
like fairness and honesty?
"When are you going to get out of Afghanistan?
Why are we continuing to kill and die there? What is the real excuse and don’t give
us this Bushism 'if we don’t go there they’ll all come here.' " -- Helen Thomas, the only WH reporter with
courage, Link
We have been in Afghanistan longer than Vietnam.
We know it's going to end the same way so why are we still there?
"BP's top official upgrades impact of Gulf
oil spill from "very modest" to "environmental catastrophe." -- CNN Breaking News

This is where out hapless, loser Democrats should be saying, "THIS
is why we have to get off our oil addiction," but no, that wouldn't be nice so they remain silent when they
should be speaking up.
Meanwhile, Republicans (who are determined to win) are calling
this "Obama's Katrina."
Like I've been saying for many years, the GOP is willing to work
24/7/365
to win.
Democrats, however, will consider allowing victory in after it
knocks on their door.
Democrats are addicted to losing the way the Catholics are addicted
to raping children.

Quotes
"The disaster in the Gulf may well spell the
political end of the president and his administration." -- Piggy Noonan, trying to make the
spill Obama's fault, Link
First, Brit Hume and the vulgar Pigboy say there's no problem
in the Gulf.
Why is there never a penalty for even the most bald-faced lies?
Second, if there was a God, this would be the end of off-shore
drilling and
the beginning of the end for the internal cumbustion engine -
but there is no God.
Third, do you think Obama has ordered Ken Salazar to check every
off-shore well
for inspections and compliance? If he has, why not
mention it to the press?
"It's hard for Republicans to work with me
right now because there are members of their base who, if somebody even smiles at me, they
think, You're a traitor. You smiled at Obama. You're nice to him. You were polite. And if you're rude
to Obama, we can raise money. So the incentive structure right now for cooperation within the Republican
Party is not real strong." -- Obama, listing the facts and almost
making me faint Link

Joyce, I didn't see your name on the subscriber list.
Crazy as this sounds, is there anyone on the Internet

McCain and W tried to stop the Wall street madness
and the housing madness
and Dodd and Frank claimed they were trying to
keep poor people out of homes.
As Acorn's chief attorney, Obama shares
plenty of the blame as do Repubs for pressuring Clinton
into repealing Glass Steagal. So yes Bush hit
the iceberg but the Dems put it there.
Carson, Mayor of Monkeytown.
Really?
McCain and Head Monkey thought Wall Street was
making too much money?
And Dodd and Frank wanted poor people put in
McMansions?
Did you hear that from Rush or Beck?
Is that why you didn't include a link?
Because it's something you heard a partisan liar
say?
And how did ACORN get enough money to hire a sitting

Steve, you could be right, but I don't know.

The City is Cleveland, OH.
The destruction was caused by East Ohio Gas Company
explosion and fire of 1944.
Large above ground gas storage tanks blew up.
130 people were killed and a few square blocks
of homes were destroyed.

Gil, that looks like Downtown to me - but you could be right.

The streetcar looks like the ones Detroit used
to have, before they sold them to Mexico City in 1964
(where they are still in operation). The
buildings don't look familiar, though.

In an e-mail obtained by The Whore AP, the Gores
said it was
"a mutual and mutually supportive decision that
we have made
together following a process of long and careful
consideration."
OK, what are we not being told?
After 40 years together, suddenly one of them
has to get away?
They have enough money to own two homes, so who
needs to "get away?"
My guess: One of them has found somebody else and they're
tired of hiding it.
They want to go out in public and this prevents
the "scandal" of doing so.

So, all these people near the coast are going to have headaches,
vomiting and reproductive problems?
"No one seems capable of doing one damn thing...It

Hello Bartcop,
Maybe you mentioned it on a previous page that
you were going to be
out of action for awhile but just checking to
see if things are alright.
I hadn't seen a page since the last Tuesday-Wednesday
edition and
started worrying that something happened to you.
May that not be the case and its that I just haven't
been paying attention.
Take care,
Bert
The clue was in last page's title - Two outer.
I was hoping to get another chance to go to the
World Series of Poker

a "two outer" in poker terms.
Well, I got lucky and that's where I was the last
half of the week.

Shirley got married over the weekend. Link "It was very unromantic. We eloped and went
