One Hundred and Fifty Million Zombies. Sixty Million Dogs. All of them hungry for warm human flesh.
The dead have risen, killing anyone they find. The living know what's caused it-a vicious contagion.
But too late to stop it. For now, what remains of society are busy shutting down nuclear reactors
and securing chemical plants to prevent runaway reactions in both.
There's little time for anything else.
Failed comic book artist Rick Nuttman and his family have joined
thousands of other desperate people in trying to find a haven from the madness.
Kindle $2.99
Paperback $12.05
150M zombies and 60M wild dogs for $2.99?

Quotes
"If he didn't possess/own a gun, Jovan Belcher and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.
Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments,
and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it."
-- NBC's Bob Costas, stepping in it deeeeeeeeeep Link
Bob's right, of course, but nobody wants to hear it.
America loves guns and most people are OK with mass shootings
and senseless murder-suicides because America loves guns.
That's not my opinion, that's a fact.
Every poll shows the idea of more serious gun control laws is a non-starter.
I wonder why Bob thought that would be a good idea?

Assad needs to watch his ass
Link
Obama is weighing military options to secure Syria's chemical and biological weapons,
after U.S. intelligence reports show the Syrian regime may be readying those weapons
and may be desperate enough to use them, U.S. officials said Monday.
Obama pointedly warned Syrian President Bashar Assad not to use his arsenal.
"Today I want to make it absolutely clear to Assad and those under his command:
The world is watching," Obama said. "The use of chemical weapons is and would be
totally unacceptable. And if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons,
there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."
Hillary, in Prague for meetings with Czech officials, said she wouldn't outline any specifics.
"We are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur," Clinton said.
I like having a president who doesn't want to go to war.
If we NEED to go to war, Obama couldn't have a better wartime consiglieri than Hillary.

The Case Against Hillary
by MSNBC's Joan Walsh
Link
I understand why some Democrats are giddy over the chance of a Clinton candidacy;
I’ve gotten caught up in it occasionally, too. She’s the most popular political figure in the country,
on either side of the aisle. And if Obama could pass her the baton in 2016, we’d get a chance at a
21st century New Deal, a 12 to 16 year Democratic era (maybe even more) that could eventually
rival Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s in accomplishments.
In 2008, Mark Penn advised Clinton to minimize the historic nature of her bid to be our first female
president, and to instead maximize her hawkishness and her credentials to become the first female
commander-in-chief. He reportedly told her not to apologize for voting to authorize the president to
use military force in Iraq, which opened up a large space on her left for a newcomer who had
opposed the war (from the safety of Chicago), Sen. Barack Obama.
I get the feeling Joan needed to write a column and this is the one she came up with.
I'm not sure we learned a lot about "the case againmst Hillary" from Joan.

Subject: Punishing Success?
I keep hearing on the news Republicans saying that we shouldn't raise taxes in the rich because
we are "punishing success". Are you kidding me? They turned Wall Street into a casino and when
they crashed the economy we had to bail them out. And that's what they call success.
We bailed them out and we owe the money? No no no no no!
We bailed them out, that is not success, and they owe us money.
Why should we reward failure with upper class tax breaks and have their wealth explode while
the rest of America is being tricked down upon? I don't think so! They should pay us back through
higher taxes until their debt is paid off. They caused the problem and we shouldn't be stuck paying for it.
Marc Perkel
It's also funny when the Republicans say, "Why raise taxes on the rich? That won're balance the budget."
That's such logic-free thinking.
Why should *I* pay taxes? That won't balance the budget, either.
I say we make the super-rich pay MORE than their fair share and if they don't like it
I'm sure there are plenty of other countires that would accept them - for a fee.

Pity the Poor
Plutocrats
by Gene Lyons
Link
What with Romney’s campaign having come to an ignominious end, new champions have
been called forth lest mobs of pitchfork-waving grandmas and torch-bearing old men rendered
fearless by Dentu-Grip breach the walls of their elegant suburban redoubts.
ha ha
Nobody writes like Gene Lyons.
One such hero is Lloyd Blankfein, the universally revered CEO of Goldman Sachs. At least that’s
how Scott Pelley presented him in a November 19 CBS News interview. Adopting a tone of awed
deference most often reserved for British royalty and Hollywood actresses with breasts bigger than
their heads, Pelley depicted Blankfein as “one of the world’s most influential bankers.”
Who better to advise the nation how to avoid the dread “fiscal cliff”—the latest phony, made-for-TV
Washington melodrama? The great man even permitted CBS cameras into the Goldman Sachs trading
floor, which Pelley treated as a signal honor.
A bunch of guys in neckties sitting in front of computer screens, in case you missed it.
It could have been the sports betting room in any Las Vegas casino, essentially a high-tech bookie joint.
“When we asked Blankfein how to reduce the federal budget deficit,” Pelley said
“he went straight for the subject that politicians don’t want to talk about.”
I doubt Blankfein would have much to tell CBS about the 2010 civil fraud lawsuit the SEC filed
against Goldman for peddling junk derivatives it allegedly designed to fail. Many thought criminal
charges would have been more appropriate. The bank ultimately settled for a $550 million fine.
If nobody went to jail they'll continue to screw more people.
They'll just factor in the fine as the cost of doing buisness, like rent and utilities.
Obama's "Let's look forward" philosophy on crime could continue to screw us for decades.

Video Gyno-Voyeurism
Doctor planted a hidden mini-cam
Link
A pretrial hearing will resume Tuesday afternoon in Lake Charles, Louisiana for a gynecologist
charged with video voyeurism and sexual battery. The question is whether prosecutors can use
evidence found in Dr. Peter LaFuria's truck.
LaFuria is charged with 186 counts of video voyeurism, 78 counts
of sexual battery and five counts of molestation of a juvenile.
So, this guy put a camera in his dressing room?
Or is it a whole lot worse than that?
Did he put a camera in his tie?
It doesn't say if he's a Republican or a Teabagger.
I guess we'll find out at the trial.

Subject: estate taxes
Bart, I am in oil (not big oil, but little oil).
As a landman, I am the one who goes to the courthouse to determine the mineral
ownership, then I buy the leases for a client so that the client can drill a well.
Which leads me to the estate tax lie. We hear stories from the Republicans
about the family farm that had to be sold to pay the estate tax.
I have checked title to over 10,000 tracts of land in my 40+ year career.
I won’t say it never happened, but I will say I never have seen it in the land records.

God, I know you're busy, with the seven million voices constantly talking to you

but did you realize it's December now and you're still sending 80-degree weather to Oklahoma?
Please don't get angry - like you did with Moses.
We don't need a foot-deep ice storm, Your Holiness, I'm just saying we never got
a hard freeze last year and the bugs were thicker than Man-on-Dog's skull so we need

Man-on-Dog Gets a Job
Santorum writes for Birther Site
Link
Failure Rick Santorum had gotten an actual job - one that pays money, one would assume
He now writes for the birther site World Net Daily, and in his inaugural column expanded on why
diabled people should have no rights. Why? Because rights for the diabled “crush U.S. sovereignty.”
Santorum continues his opposition to a push by Democrats to ratify a U.N. treaty to promote
equal rights for the disabled. Last week, he called it ”a direct assault on us and our family.”
He says the treaty has “much darker and more troubling implications.”:
So, the GOP seems to be answering their crushing loss by doubling-down on the crazy.
The vulgar Pigboy and FOX News will beat into their small kinds that Thurston lost because
he wasn't "severe" enough in his conservatism.
There are times when I think the Pigboy is the best player on our team.

It's been a while since we had a fund-raiser.
Subscribers are way off, donations are way down, but we still have a lot of readers.
Bartcop.com is worth saving, right?
Times are tough, and I realize people can't contribute like they used to
but I'd already be gone if it wasn't for Mrs. Bart kicking in her paycheck.
Even the purchases on Amazon.com are down - waaaay down.
PLEASE remember to use the Amazon link when you shop online.
If you think bartcop.com is worth saving, please try to kick in a few dollars.
I will make you this promise: I won't disappear suddenly.
We might end up doing a "Last 90 days of Bartcop" - that'd be sad.

Randall, thanks for that.
I know there are a lot of people hurting out there.
It's a disgrace that getting sick in America means you could lose everything.
Maybe now Obama will stop coddling Bitch & Boner and solve some problems.
