"For Iran to be developing nuclear weapons, it would have to have been prepared to take extraordinary risks. A madman theory, centered around the behavior of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was essential. But as the NIE points out, Iran was “guided by a cost-benefit approach.” In simple terms, the Iranians weren’t nuts. That is why they didn’t build a nuclear program." -- alleged quote from the NIA Report, Link So why is this ignored by Obama, Clinton, Biden, Israel and the NAIA? Is the NIA infected wioth the anti-Israel bug? Or are Obama, Clinton, Biden, Israel and the NAIA "hopeless warmongers?" Send e-mail to Bart Romney: What to do with Newt?
Link Mittens's options are: 1) Go On The Attack 2) Let the SuperPAC Do The Dirty Work 3) Let Newt be Newt 4) Hope Anonymous Groups Get Active If I was on Mittens's staff, I would lobby hard for Option 3. Newt can't control himself - all Romney has to do is wait him out. Newt will soon say something super-stupid and when the press calls him on it, he will call the whore press a bunch of names and they'll tear him into little pieces. Remember: Newt wants to give amnesty to "those dark devils from Mexico." Can the racist Teabaggers stand for that? If there was a God, He would give Obama the Gift of Newt. There is no God so that won't happen. Send e-mail to Bart Seeing the ads puts

Madonna, who has sold more than 300 million records, will perform at halftime of the Super Bowl. The show is the most-watched musical event of the year, with 162 million in the U.S. tuning in. Madonna, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, will join such acts as Springsteen, U2, Paul McCartney, The Who and the Rolling Stones to perform during recent Super Bowls. I like Madonna - and who knows what she'll do with a global audience? Send e-mail to Bart Subject: You're losing it Bart!! Really! When I saw where you wrote that Obama should have bombed Iranian ports and refineries in order to AVOID war my jaw dropped! I had to look back to see if I was reading Monkey Mail! Bombing Iranian ports and refineries would BE war, and very likely a war that would involve an Israel long anxious to destroy Iranian power. Do we actually have any reason to believe that we could control the spread of this war? I don't mean 'Bush-Rumsfeld' reasons, I mean real god damned reason to think that these attacks could actually be kept under control. Bart, you should try to ask all the important questions before supporting an attack that could cause world war. The Iran/Israel situation very much reminds me of the French/German relationship of 1916 that did as much to create wwI as anything else. No one can even guess who might decide to support Iran against Israel? One other thing. Why did we not risk starting a world war when Israel, India, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, South Africa, North Korea and Pakistan developed the bomb? You'll either have to come up with some great answer to that question, or admit there's a huge bias against Iran that favors it's enemy Israel. It's that simple. I don't think it would be worth supporting the Middle East's little bully against what has actually been a relatively peaceful nation! Even when Iran took our people hostage they were only trying to caste out a CIA installed tyrant and replace him with a leader of their own choosing. The answer is to treat Israel like we do any other nation and expect them to negotiate with their enemies like everyone else. Tim in Muldraugh I'm against Iran getting nukes and I'd like to avoid a nuclear war. I'm surprised when people disagree with me on this. Send e-mail to Bart Ron Paul's Wild West World kotorimagazine.com In a political party built on zombie-like conformity to mythical talking points, Ron Paul can appear thoughtful, sincere, and independent. When asked by a moderator about the viability of "non-interventionist policies" in a 2007 debate, Paul said that the 9/11 attacks were a reaction to America's military occupation of the Middle East. Speaking for all of the other Republicans onstage, Rudy Giuliani expressed outrage at Paul's response: "I would ask the congressman to withdraw that comment and tell us that he didn't really mean that." Pressed to soften his stance, Paul instead doubled down. His concluding message was, "They don't come here to attack us because we're rich and we're free. They come and attack us because we're over there. I mean what would we think if…other foreign countries were doing that to us?" It was common knowledge that al Qaeda had long been incensed about the dozens of U.S. bases in the Holy Land, and common sense that violence makes violence, but Paul's statement was anathema to the GOP candidates, who worked from the assumption that Americans had a God-given right to brown peoples' oil. Sometimes Ron Paul tells the truth. Sometimes Ron Paul makes sense. He could come in second in Iowa - then what? Send e-mail to Bart Subject: We have too much gas? Bart, As gas prices run $3.50-$4.00 per gallon, we usually assume it's forced by limited supply. After all, oil is limited, and the price of a barrel of oil is going up. But apparently there is such a glut of gasoline in the US that we are exporting more and more. At an estimate, we export 2.2 million barrels of gasoline every day. That's a quarter as much as we use. So there are two major questions: (1) how much do we charge for this gasoline? and (2) if we really have a glut, why aren't prices down around $1.50? Russ Russ, for gas to come down, we'd need a Democrat in the White House. Send e-mail to Bart Quotes Send e-mail to Bart Sarah Palin Nude
Link Governors ask for Legal Pot Link Govs. Lincoln Chafee (I-R.I) and Chris Gregoire (D-Wash.) on Wednesday called on the DEA to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule II drug, which would allow it to be dispensed for medicinal use. This move by the governors marks the latest development in a larger struggle to curb the threat of a federal crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries operating in accordance with state drug laws. Rhode Island and Washington are just two of 16 states that have legalized the use of medical marijuana, but which in recent months have faced ramped-up enforcement actions from President Eager Beaver. In California, for instance, U.S. attorneys have shuttered multiple state-licensed marijuana dispensaries that had been operating in accordance with local laws and government for as long as 15 years.

Bartcop PO Box 54466 Tulsa, OK 74155 Send e-mail to Bart Someone wrote... and complained about too many ads on Bartcop. I cannot find your e-mail now, but I wanted to explain. I'm surprised more people haven't complained - maybe I'm just lucky. But it's a different world than it was a few years ago. You can't think I want to have all those banners, do you? I feel like a member of congress where I have to think about fund-raising every damn day. Years ago, when people had jobs and money, we didn't need as many ads. Plus, those ads aren't really working. Hits are up - possibly quite a bit - but income is down. That's why I've been asking for help with these non-working banner codes. A guy wrote yeaterday to alert me to a problem on Page 972 of Hayden Panettiere. Did he really click 972 times? Thanks to Blue, some weeks we actually put up thousands of pages. If others are clicking 972 times, where is my income boost? These days, to stay alive, one scrambles for $25 here and $50 there. If I had a brain or some help or a spare five minutes to think, maybe I could weed out the ads that don't produce much and the pages might load faster. Those Mystery Pages get a lot of hits, but the ads on those pages pay just pennies. You're right - I need to re-work things, but I have an IQ of 64 and I need help.

Legalize and Tax It, Already by Carl Gibson Link Tobacco use claims more than 440,000 deaths annually. Alcohol kills an additional 37,000, not including alcohol-related car accidents. Prescription drugs killed 30,000 Americans in 2009. These addictive drugs kill almost half a million Americans each year. Marijuana has killed zero. Critics argue that legalized pot would turn the country into a haven for drug abuse, yet Portugal has dramatically lowered their incarceration and addiction rates through decriminalization. Alcohol and tobacco are both valuable sources of tax revenue for state governments - Texas is expected to make $2.8 billion this fiscal year from excise taxes on those drugs. As California's biggest cash crop, cannabis would generate almost as much tax revenue as the wine industry. Repealing marijuana prohibition would boost America's economy with jobs and more than $46 billion in tax revenue. But that would be using our brains and we don't do that in America. I heard someone saying legal pot is like gay marriage: A few years ago, everyone was against it but now we've moved on. Everybody but President Eager Beaver. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Obama should've hit Iran a year ago or longer ...Why? Bart, Are you freaking serious? Iran? It never has been a threat to the USA. It hasn't attacked a neighbor in hundreds of years. It has not violated the nuclear non proliferation treaty it signed. Our NIE report states Iran is not building nuclear weapons. It certainly has a right to defend itself from the rogue nuclear, terror state of Israel, which threatens to destroy millions of Iranians at any moment. Wil B Some people act like I'm the one with the odd, pugilistic point of view here. I'm agreeing with President Dither, both Clintons, Israel and the NAIA. I'll bet the people Iran can reach with their missles agree, too. If we took away the pro-anti-Israeli folks and took away the "fighting is always wrong, no matter what" Democrats, I wonder how the numbers would fall on this. I believe there are times when doing nothing is extremely dangerous.

Possibly interesting idea...
I want to try something ...unless you think it's an invasion of your privacy. If you would, e-mail me a number. That number would be the ratio of the list price of your car vs what you paid for your home. So, if your car costs $20K new and you paid $400K for your home, you would have paid twenty times more for the home than the car so your number would be 20. I find it interesting because you can move a car, but not the house. Update I got some interesting answers but my question missed the mark. What happened was - I saw an issue of Maxim where they talked about a $200K automobile and I wondered, how rich does a guy need to be to buy one of those? In lesser America, homes are dirt cheap. You can get a nice, 2000 sq ft home, granite kitchen, etc., for under $200K. We watch those HGTV shows that tell us a 2000 sq ft home in say, Pasadena, cost about $2 million dollars - TEN times what that same home costs in Tulsa. But in both cases, a new Camry or Accord costs about $25K. So in Tulsa, you might spend EIGHT times more on your home than your car. But in Marin County, you could easily spend EIGHTY times more on your home, so I was wondering if you rich people splurged for that $200K automobile? Put another way, in Tulsa we get TEN TIMES more house for our dollar than you rich people who own homes on the coasts. If you own a $2M home in Malibu, you could sell that, move to Tulsa and buy a $2M home that looks like the homes that Oprah has, or Clooney has or Jennifer Aniston has... Jennifer Aniston's home in LA ...but you would still be driving that same ratty-ass Camry - I find that interesting. Send e-mail to Bart Why donate to Bartcop.com?
