"If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed." -- Mark Twain, one hundred years ahead of his time Send e-mail to Bart The Middle Class is at Stake
That's Obama's strategery for 2012
Link Declaring the American middle class in jeopardy, Obama has outlined a populist economic vision that will drive his re-election bid, insisting the United States must reclaim its standing as a country in which everyone can prosper if provided "a fair shot and a fair share." While never making an overt plea for a second term, Obama's offered his most comprehensive lines of attack against the candidates seeking to take his job, only a month before Republican voters begin choosing a presidential nominee. He also sought to inject some of the long-overshadowed hope that energized his 2008 campaign, saying: "I believe America is on its way up." This is a smart move for Obama, something I don't get to say much. Of course, he's blessed by the idiocy of the "Screw everyone but the rich" Republicans. This is why Obama is going to win a second term. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Obama to women: drop dead Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services today blocked the over the counter sale of the emergency contraceptive "Plan B" from being purchased by girls under 17 years old. Because the pill is most effective when used in the first 24 hours Obama is intervening to help ensure that girls 16 and under are more likely to get pregnant. I don't know why the Republicans are trying to defeat Obama. It seems with this decision along with other similar decisions that we already have a Republican president. Marc Perkel Both NBC News and CBS News said this was the first time in history that a president has blocked a science decision by HHS. Then they played a clip from Obama in 2008 saying is was wrong for an administration to block science for political purposes. Even worse, how man more 11-18 year old girls will have to have abortions because Obama wants to please the sons of bitches on the right? Plus, if they don't have that abortion, we're going to see 11, 12 and 13 year olds walking around pregnant? That's pretty disturbing. I agree with Perkel: Why do Repubs want to replace a guy who's doing what they want? Send e-mail to Bart Seeing the ads puts

Ranking Payouts #6-ranked Arkansas lost two games all year - to #1 LSU and #2 Alabama. But they're getting a tiny $3.5M at the Cotton Bowl while #15 Clemson gets $17M with #23-ranked West Virginia at the more prestigious Orange Bowl? Is college sports just as crooked as everything else in this once-great country? And this isn't about my 'favorite team,' either. This is about #6 getting one-fifth of the money #23 gets - WTF? Arkansas took the news like a bent-over senate Democrat: "The University of Arkansas is thrilled to accept a bid to play in the broke-dick Cotton Bowl. Congratulations to Coach Bobby Petrino and the team on earning the opportunity to participate in one of college football's lamest postseason traditions." -- Director of Athletics Jeff Long, either lying or stupid, Link Yeah, we're all f-ing THRILLED to get $3.5M instead of $17M. Logic says #6 would get in one of the five top-tier bowls, but noooooooooooooo. Even the gag-me Chick-fil-A Bowl pays $5.8M to #25 Auburn and unranked Virginia. Who's at fault here? Who decided #6 should get one-fifth of the money #23 gets? Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Your bitching about David Sirota Bart, You need to get some things straight. Obama won the primaries fair and square. Obama won with the help of the GOP and the whore media. That doesn't mean he cheated, it just means his allies were suspect. Clinton didn't have the right strategy, she didn't have the ground game, and she thought she was going to get the presidency like it was inheritance rather than something to be earned. Yes, the smart money was on Hillary. Who could've predicted the Clintons would become "racists" so Obama could win? And worst of all, she surrounded herself with corporatists like Mark Penn (for up to date evidence that Clinton would be just as much of a corporate whore as Obama, see Penn's article here: And get this through your damned thick skull: CLINTON VOTED FOR THE FUCKING ILLEGAL, IMMORAL IRAQ WAR. There has to be consequences for one's actions. Gee, it's almost as tho your emotions are doing your thinking for you. You won't believe this, (in your emotional, agitated state) but if Mohammed Atta had brought down the Sears Tower and killed 3,000 Chicagoans, Obama would've voted for that war, too. So get the fuck over it. How am I going to get over the fact that Obama's is in over his head? Someone recently said "Obama vacillates between making mistakes and surrendering." I find it hard to disagree with that. The Clintons are not some liberal lions. They are corporatists. Obama is a corporatist too. To get elected, one has to "play ball." I think Hillary's a better ball player than Obama. Maybe you now realize that, too - is that why you're so angry? Did you finally come to the realization you bet on the wrong horse? But I don't remember you posting a bunch of articles about this (you were just bitching about anyone who dared to support someone other than your beloved Clinton) back in 2008. Liberals/progressives want liberal/progressive policies. You care more about "team Clinton" or "team democrat." Tony W If you're happy with the job Obama is doing, God bless you. I believe you're going to get four more years of Obama. For the record: I'm OK with anybody who preferred Obama to Hillary in 2008, but I have a problem with those who screamed, "that racist, fucking whore" at Hillary and you should, too. Send e-mail to Bart Coburn: Why I Hate Newt Link Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Jesus Twin) says he “will have difficulty supporting Gingrich as president” based on his experience serving in the House during Gingrich’s years as speaker. “The thing is there are all type of leaders. Leaders that instill confidence, leaders that are somewhat abrupt and brisk, leaders that have one standard for the people they are leading and different standard for themselves,” Coburn said on Fox News Sunday. “I found his leadership lacking.” Coburn says “Gingrich is brilliant, he has lots of positives.” But he suggested that other Republicans would have similar reservations about a Gingrich presidency. Damn, one could infer that Coburn wants to see Obama beat Gingrich. What does Coburn know about Newt that he refuses to vocalize? Send e-mail to Bart Mittens attacks Snoot Link Mitt Romney is aggressively attacking Newt Gingrich as the former squeaker rises in the polls. Romney's campaign on Thursday was set to point out a series of issues in Gingrich's record on a conference call with other Nazi pigs. The Romney campaign attacked remarks Gingrich made criticizing Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan's plan for the federal budget. Gingrich once referred to Ryan's anti-middle-class plan as "right-wing social engineering." It's a significant shift in strategy. Romney's campaign has not previously criticized Gingrich head-on. The moves show that with Iowa's caucuses drawing near, Romney views Gingrich as a significant threat to his chances of winning the Republican nomination. Poor Mittens has been running for the White House for 6 years or so and here comes Newt, a guy left for dead six months ago when his staff resigned en masse because he refused to work.

Bartcop PO Box 54466 Tulsa, OK 74155 Send e-mail to Bart Justice in America How can 'The greatest country in the world" be so fucked up? Blago gets 14 years in prison for "bad bahavior," but Conrad Murray got 4 years for murdering one of the biggest celebrities of the 20th Century - and they say he'll only do two years or less? Do you know WHY Murray will only do two years? Because California's prisons are so crowded, there's no room to house the criminals. Do you know WHY California has no room to house the criminals? Because California prisons are full of marijuana offenders. So, we let the murderers out early so we can keep the pot prisoners locked up? How can America be so goddamn screwed up?

Corzine: I don't know where your money is This guy sure smells guilty to me... Link Jon S. Corzine, the former Demo U.S. senator and New Jersey governor who presided over the collapse of the commodities brokerage MF Global, says he cannot explain what happened to “many hundreds of millions of dollars” that the firm was holding for customers. In testimony prepared for delivery to Congress on Thursday, Corzine says he was “stunned” to learn that MF Global could not account for the money. So, "many hundreds of millions of dollars" just "evaporated? No, money doesn't "evaporate," it's gets f-ing STOLEN by crooks, usually Republicans. I may be the first person to point this out, but there's a thing called "a money trail." Since you're not dealing in cash, the money can only be moved with a check or a draft or a money order or some other financial instrument. This country is so screwed - if there's $30 missing from the cash register at Arby's, they can find that. But many hundreds of millions of dollars just walk off under their own power? We all know what happened here: Corzine made a bet that failed and he covered it with other peoples' money. Apparently that bet failed, too, so he covered that with more other peoples' money. Will Corzine get the Kneel Bush treatment? Or will they decide this is an actual crime? Send e-mail to Bart Subject: have you lost your f-ing mind? Bart, you wrote: > I'm agreeing with President Dither, both Clintons, Israel and the NAIA. Thankfully, you certainly are NOT agreeing with Obama, the Clintons or the vast majority of the people of Israel. I'm not sure what you're attempting to say. If Obama and the Clintons don't see a problem with a nuclear Iran then we're certainly not going to war with them - so what's your problem? Besides the blatantly insane neo-cons and hard-right Israeli whackos, you are the only person I've heard calling for preemptively bombing Iran. You say "bombing Iran" as tho I'm ready to level Tehran. I'm talking about a 15-minute strategic strike on some ports/refineries/pipelines that would cripple their ability to export oil and bring them to the bargaining table. Apparently you see our options as "peace" or "war." and you can't understand why I love war so much. I see our options as "small war" or "super-sized nuclear war." Obama's empty sanction threats have left Ahmahandjob rolling on the floor laughing while they get closer to acquiring nukes every day - you're OK with that - I'm not. Honestly, Bart. Your position on Iran is extremely extreme....and way more dangerous than doing nothing. Maybe I shouldn't try to be so polite. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND? Dan L It's a given that if we disagree, it's because I'm insane. Send e-mail to Bart Shame on Playboy for taking advantage of this drug-addicted, rotted-teeth convict. I haven't seen the pictures (who hasn't already seen Lindsay Lohan her nude?) but I guarantee the last adjective you'd use to describe them is "sexy." Playboy models are posed like a broken-bones cavader thrown off a roof. That's why MAXIM and FHM etc are selling while Playboy is dying. Playboy takes "sexy" out of a beautiful nude woman. How did they manage to pull that off? Subject: troops remains dumped in landfill Link Craig Well sure, why not? All they did was give their lives for their country...

Jimmy Fallon - whore? Why is Jimmy Fallon whoring for the Capitol One banksters? Sure, if they asked me I'd do it, I'd have to say "YES" because I'm broke. But online sources say Jimmy Fallon is worth $16M and NBC pays him $100,000 per show - So why does he whore himself out to the f-ing banksters for a few dollars more? "I'll whore for anybody and anything - if the money's right." I always liked Jimmy Fallon - until these "What's in your wallet?" commercials. He can't whore for Pepsi or Ford or a company that's not gouging people? Jimmy, how many more millions do you need before you draw the line? Why not whore for Goldline or Free Credit Report while you're at it? Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Iran Bart, Look at it this way, you’re in agreement with all the right wing whack jobs I know. What’s that tell you? Doug That's one way to look at it. Another would be to say I'm in agreement with our Democratic President, our Democratic Secretary of State, the best president of the last 60 years, minimum, and pretty much everyone within missle range of the ready-to-launch crazies. IF Iran gets the bomb and IF they decide to launch it and start a nuclear WWIII, will you say, "Whoops, my bad! I guess Bart was right?" That really won't be much consolation to the 30 million dead. Someone else wrote, "Do you really think Iran is that crazy?" I think the people who line the streets of Tehran beating themselves bloody with chains, can't be counted on to act logically when it comes to dealing with "The Great Satan." I realize Iran has young, hip, Internet-friendly, pro-American people, too. but they're not in charge of the military and that's who we're dealing with. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: fund-raising idea
