"The rich are not paying their fair share in
any nation that is facing these kinds of employment issues. Brazil has the highest tax-to-GDP rate
in the Western Hemisphere and guess what – they're growing like crazy. And the rich are getting richer, but
they're pulling people out of poverty. There is a certain formula there that used to work for us, until we
abandoned it, to our regret in my opinion."

Our brain-dead Democrats are so stupid, they can't even follow
Bill's blueprint.
He already should us how to make the economy hum, but our Democrats
can't figure it out.
He showed them how to win elections, too, but they're just not
into winning.
I'm just hoping that after the worst oil disaster
in history that if it's really going to be bad that it is bad enough
to shut up the "Drill Baby Drill" crown and those
who keep saying that we don't need government regulation.
Without regulating these companies the Taxpayer's
have to pick up the cost of these corporate mistakes.
They want to play "capitalist" and "free market"
but when they fail we have to bail them out. I wonder if the
Tea Party thinks that the taxpayer should bail
out the oil companies in the name of corporate freedom?
We deregulated the electric companies and had
rolling blackouts. We deregulated the Savings and Loans in the
1980s and they collapsed and had to have a taxpayer
bailout. Then we deregulated the banks and the securities
and we had the taxpayer bailout of 2008. We didn't
regulate the mines enough and miners die in explosions.
Now the oil companies have liability caps which
means that someone else has to pay for their mistakes.
Where were the government regulators?
They were literally downloading porn, doing drugs,
and having sex with corporate lobbyists.
Our nation is a nation of people, but corporations.
It's We the People. We have to vote out the politicians
who put the companies who bribe them first before
the interests of the common good of the humans they are
supposed to represent. Maybe finally this latest
disaster will be bad enough to shut up even Rand Paul and
Sarah Palin who seem to think that foreign oil
companies have superior rights to the American public.
I think we should make off-shore drilling illegal.
Did we know the oil spills could be this bad?
What if a second and a third well explodes?
BP obviously has no clue of how to stop this massive spill so why the hell do we give them permits to drill that deep?
We may have lost the Gulf of Mexico for our lifetime.
Do we want to gamble with the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, too?
Ands why the hell are we still using oil?
Why doesn't Obama lead us into solar and wind and whatever else works?
I wish we had a president who was awake and responsive.

Around 1960-1963 I was 6 yrs old and living in
a Chicago Suburb (Downers Grove).
I went to a Three Stooges Live Show in Chi-town.
I can still picture the circus tent they performed under.
When the show ended they left the stage and walked
out through the crowd. I was a very young child and
a giant fan, Moe walked directly towards me and
shook my hand. I'm 55 and can still see it like it was yesterday.
The jet-black mop hair, his face looked so old.
Also lucky enough to see the Beatles during their
1st American Tour in 1964 in Chicago.
My sister is three years older than me and for
her birthday my parents got tickets, I was "forced" to attend.
I have yet to meet anybody else who saw the -Best
Band Ever- live.

"Those who are fond of Joe McGinnis might remind
him that Alaska has a law that allows the use of deadly
force in protection of life and property." -- Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman Editorial,

But doesn't that law work both ways?
If Palin steps on Joe's property, he can legally shoot her,
right?
> Second, if there was a God, this would be
the end of off-shore drilling and > the beginning of the end for the internal
combustion engine - but there is no God.
God didn't invent the internal combustion engine.
That was Gottlieb Daimler.
God also didn't invent offshore drilling. The
first platforms in the gulf were put there by Texaco, now Chevron.
But God did make the sun to shine and the wind
to blow.
God has escaped his right-wing handlers and come
out as ecologically-minded liberal, providing abundant clean energy.
Genesis 1:4,16: "God said, 'Let there be light,'
and there was light. God saw that the light was good...
God made two great lights—the greater light to
govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night."
Amos 4:13: "He who forms the mountains, creates
the wind, and reveals his thoughts to man,
he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the
high places of the earth— the LORD God Almighty is his name."

"The Florida Keys, third longest barrier reef
in the world, is a dead zone. Ninety percent of the big fish, the tuna, the sharks, and other things,
are already gone in the oceans. There's a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico every summer the size of New Jersey,
where there's not enough oxygen for things to live. So it's not a question
of 'Can the oceans take any more?' The
oceans can't take any more. They couldn't take any more fifty years ago. The question is, when are we going
to stop?" -- Phillippe Cousteau Jr.,

We're going to stop when the Democrats find a spine - which is

Bart, I am writing from Dearborn, just outside
of Detroit.
I am commenting on your piece Thank God you don’t
live in Oklahoma.
I don’t know if you saw the piece that was in
the media on Detroit recently and yes it’s that bad.
At the moment, I’m employed but with the way
our economy is going here who knows.
Wejust had three people shot and several stabbed
right down the street from my home
over the weekend. Empty storefronts…it’s like
I’m watching the whole town close up.
Hillbillies…I’ve got them too, living right next
door to me!
Our politicians want to enact the same racial
profiling legislation that Arizona passed recently.
Backwards thinking rednecks…
If you’re African American or any other minority,
better get out by sun down.
Of course you’ve heard of the fine militia folks
that populate my state.
If I lose my job (forget even thinking about getting
another one here), I may end up in Oklahoma.
I’d take it ANY day over where I am living now.
Love your page, keep swinging that hammer.

Hey Bart,
If anyone deserves some time off now and then,
it would be you.
I do miss your page when you’re away, but I understand
that when you are out, your entire staff is away as well.
BTW: I really like the nature photos you’ve been
running.
I like the wierdities and history pics too.
Makes great wallpaper!
Hammer on, my friend!

Bart:
Tell anyone who is complaining about you taking
time off to stick it.
I am a long time reader and sure, I love it when
there is a new Bartcop page everyday
but I certainly understand that you are human
and need a break too.
I am not a subscriber and I would give you some
money if I could, so I really appreciate
all of the great free content you provide. Its
amazing how much people bitch when they don't
think they are getting enough free stuff. Maybe
us lefties are just walking around with our hand out?
Although, I do get worried about you, with your
health problems and all,
when there isn't an update for a few days. I
hope all is well in that department.

But Barack, what happened to all that "Let's
look forward" bullshit?
I like BP's crimes being punished, but why'd
you let the Bush bastards off the hook?
I was reading about America's idiotic Prohibition experiment
that failed but today's religiously-inbsane politicians pretend
that never happened to please a God who doesn't exist.
The article said in 1875, 1/3
