"When it comes to this Republican presidential field, it's not much of a beauty contest - it's more like an ugly contest." -- Gillian Tett on The McLaughling Report Send e-mail to Bart Subject: "assassinating" bin Laden Bart, a lot of people (including GHWBush) have tried to make the claim that, in any war or "police action," the US does not target specific individuals. In battles, this has never been the case. During the "gentlemanly" wars of the 17th to 19th centuries, officers wore special, bright uniforms or sashes as "the honor of being a special target." We stopped doing this, temporarily, from about the time of the US Civil War (a "total war" that involved killing everyone you saw and burning civilian cities to the ground) through World War II (firebombing civilian cities, and dropping the A-bomb on both a military and a civilian target). Now the Geneva Conventions require us to limit our attacks to military targets -- but some people complain that we are trying to "assassinate" military leaders. You can't have it both ways. Either we can target specific areas and individuals or we're reduced to "total war." Personally, I prefer the specific targeting. Russ I think the rules don't apply to bin Laden. His sneak attack on civilians was almost unheard of in modern history. And in war time, why would the leaders be immune from targeting? That makes no sense to me. Send e-mail to Bart Shopping online?

Quotes "Rush Limbaugh can sell bedpans and resentment forever, but the demographic trend is not his friend." -- John Avlon, talking about Rush's ratings decline, Link Even if Rush gets down to 5,000 listeners, he's still claim that he has "more than 20 million daily listeners." ...and his sheep will believe every word of it. Send e-mail to Bart Giving billions to BIG OIL Link Saving money requires a lot of difficult choices. Which programs do we cut in tough times? Which priorities are more important than others? As we've seen here in the Senate and across the country over the last few months, a lot of people have a lot of different answers to those questions. Then there are the choices that aren't so tough at all. There's clear waste in the federal budget and the tax code. And then there's Big Oil. We're giving billions and billions of dollars every year - $4 billion - every cent of it taxpayer money - to oil companies that already are more than successful. Yes, Obama's on a roll (up to 60% in the polls) but he's still the guy who gave the super-rich a trillion dollars and cut heating subsidies for the poor. Why? Send e-mail to Bart I'll bet the back issues have 15-20 examples of these "mistakes" by the dirty lying whores at FOX News. Every time a Republican gets caught with a man in his mouth, (like wide-stance Larry Craig) FOX labels him a Democrat for the first few days. Then they say, "Oh, our bad" and then admit he's a Rethug. Funny how the semi-legit news networks never call them on that. Quotes "The Newter announced his presidential candidacy this week on twitter and facebook. Perhaps he can hit the trifecta by announcing his withdrawal on You Tube. This should happen in more or less time than it takes Newter to whip out his Johnson and slip it into a patriotically spreadeagled campaign aide..." -- BSmasher via e-mail Send e-mail to Bart Gingrich: Philandering a Political Asset Link How are the Churchers going to get behind this serial cheater?

I think it's logical that our military has capabilities that they have yet to share with law enforcement. Poker If I'm not mistaken, online Poker is perfectly legal in England, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Australia and pretty much every "normal" country in the world. Yet our president had a hardon to go after online poker - why? He said we had to "look forward" when it came to the crimes of the Bush bastards, so why can't he "look forward" when it comes to the terrible "crime" of poker?

Wildlife Picture of the Day Link Send e-mail to Bart Subject: curious question Hi Bart, Just a question for you and your readership. When and how did bin Laden become the de facto reason for 9-11? Does American justice forgo the innocent until proven guilty reasoning in this case? Just wondering how and where it all got started. Maybe someone in your sphere can enlighten me. Mary in Seattle Clinton was in Australia when 9-11 happened. He said his first thoughts were "This is either Iran or bin Laden," then concluded it was bin Laden because Bush would glass Iran if it was them. At first. bin Laden denied the crime, then admitted it months later. Anyone else have thoughts on the subject?
