Democrats should introduce a bill that
says any state that rejects Obamacare gets
put on a 1:1 partity for government funds.
...but they won't, because that wouldn't be nice.
Quotes
"I’m glad that you’re accepting responsibility. I think that ultimately, with your leaving,
you accept the culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11. And I really mean that. Had I
been president at the time, and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi,
you did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, and I would have relieved you
of your post. I think it’s inexcusable.”
-- Rand Paul, giving Jim Inhofe a run for his money as the senate's biggest asshole Link
Butt Rand, you say those four deaths were the worst tragedy since 9-11?
Did you forget a little thing called the Iraq War, where 5,000 soldiers died
because Der Monkey Fuhrer wanted to prove he was tougher than his daddy?
I guess in Teabagger Land, four deaths is worse than 5,000 deaths.
BTW, Rand, you imagining you were president is the closest you'll ever f-ing get.
Hillary, on the other hand...

Boner: Waaah! Obama wants to 'annihilate' us
And what did you try to do to him, Boner?
Link
John Boehner told a group of whining Republicans hat Obama's focus was to "annihilate the Republican Party."
Boehner underlined his point, adding, "And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal – to just shove us into the dustbin of history."
Hey asshole, it's called "Politics."
If you can't compete, slither away and let Obama kick some other Republican's ass.

Round Two goes to Hillary
Angry Little Men Keep Making Hillary Bigger
by Smoking Joe Conason
Link
Anyone truly concerned about the safety of U.S. diplomatic personnel abroad has fresh reason for fury over Benghazi.
But the target of public anger should not be Hillary, whose conduct has been exemplary ever since the tragedy.
Far more deserving of scorn are the likes of Rand Paul (R-KY), Ron Johnson (R-WI), and all the other grandstanding,
conspiracy-mongering, ill-informed politicians who questioned her Wednesday on Capitol Hill.
Republicans still seem to be obsessed with UN Ambassador Susan Rice before. According to Republican folklore,
unsupported by facts, the Obama White House engaged in a conspiracy to conceal the true nature of the attack by
mischaracterizing it as a “demonstration.” The continuing focus on that trivial issue – long since explained,
understandably provoked an exasperated Clinton to scold Johnson, one of the dimmer idols of the Tea Party.
When the Wisconsin Republican began to harp on this topic yet again – interrupting her answer, after stupidly
asserting that Clinton could have resolved any questions about the attack with “a very simple phone call” to the
burned-out Benghazi compound – she responded sharply:
With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because there was a protest or was it
because there were guys who went out for a walk one night who decided they would kill some Americans?
What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and to do everything
we can to make sure it never happens again.
That transcript doesn't do justice to the anger in Hillary's voice.
Scold is exactly what she did to that Johnson handjob and the new-starved networks
have been running Johnson's scolding on a loop with the crawl, "Hillary in 2016?"
ha ha
I watched the snarling Whore House dogs attempt to lay a glove on Hillary.
Even after watching her make fools of the GOP Senators that morning,
the snarling House dogs still fell into Hillary's expertly-set trap.
She did to the House dogs what she did to Giuliani back in 2000.
They kept baiting her, but she never took the bait until, this Johnson asshole went too far.
"Crack!" went the whip and the 2016 race had begun.
Sidebar:
I've also seen those Ambassador Rice interviews a few times and she constantly said,
"From what we know right now, the preliminary points seem to suggest blah blah blah
but it may be days or weeks before we can get a better picture of what happened."
Somehow, the GOP twisted that into "You lied to us," and even our braindead Democrats finally
figured out they could reply with, "You mean like Bush's fake WMDs that got 5,000 soldiers killed?"
I got a tear in my eye when I heard Dick Durbin say that yesterday.
It was like watching one of my kids graduate.

Air Force: Sex assaults "appalling"
Harrump! Harrump! Harrump! they chant
Link
The Air Force recorded an "appalling" number of reports of sexual assault last year
even as it worked to curb misconduct in the wake of a sex scandal at its training
headquarters in Texas, the service's top officer told lawmakers on Wednesday.
Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, said there were 796 reports of cases
ranging from inappropriate touching to rape. The 2012 figure is a nearly 30 percent
increase from 2011 when 614 cases were reported. The number could be much greater,
Welsh said, because many cases are never reported at all.
"Calling these numbers unacceptable does not do the victims justice," Welsh said.
"The truth is, these numbers are appalling!"
Isn't it obvious that raping women is a "perk" men get for joining the military?
They tell women up-front: "If you're raped, take it like a man.
If you report your rape, your squad will never trust you again."
Like a woman needs the trust of a squad of serial-rapists.
Let's hope President Clinton fixes this.

Subject: Lance Armstrong
Bart- this whole thing with LA reminds me a lot of Ken Starr investigating Clinton-
they were not investigating doping in cycling (or any other sport for that matter)
they were investigating one man, and spent millions of dollars doing so, to what end?
I have no doubt that Armstrong is an asshole, just like about 98% of other pro athletes,
because the only way to get to be a pro athlete is to be totally obsessed with your sport
to the exclusion of everything else. so now you have all these sports writers tut-tutting
at him for not being contrite enough, just like all the political writers tut-tutted at Clinton.
Bruce from Charlottes
Bruce, you raise a good point.
I have a question: Why did Lance NEED to be taken down?
They went after him like he was the REAL killer while some poor schmuck
he skillfully framed was rotting away in some dank prison cell.
CBS was the ring-leader in this lynching, breathlessly giving "exclusive" updates
as tho the whole country was following the story like it was OJ f-ing Simpson.
Semi-related sidebar:
Why was Mark McGwire not even nominated for their crooked little Hall of Fame?
The way I remember it, he used "Andro" but he did it openly because it was legal in 1998.
When reporters went to the dressing room after a game, he'd open his locker
and there was the bottle of Andro sitting right there for everyone to see.
You'd think the second-greatest home run hitter of all time
would get a sliver of respect, but baseball just told him to GFY.
Quotes
“Katie, put yourself in my situation. I, my whole world told me that she died on Sept. 12.
Everybody knew that. This girl, who I committed myself to, died on Sept. 12. (Then) I get
a phone call on Dec. 6, saying that she's alive and then I'm on national TV two days later,
and to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?"
-- Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o Link
Dude, really?
You "committed" yourself to some girl you'd never met?
Ordinarily this would be as important as who won some damn bicycle race,
but he's about to ask some NFL team for $50M so his credibility is a factor.

Newtown Truthers Follow NRA
by Gene Lyons 
Link
Conceived in a dream of reason, what the Internet too often reveals is mass credulousness
and fathomless irrationality. According to Salon’s Alex Seitz-Wald, a video depicting
Sandy Hook as a government-sponsored hoax has drawn 8.5 million views on YouTube.
No doubt many viewers were drawn by idle curiosity or sheer incredulity.
What would “evidence” for so transparently preposterous an allegation consist of?
Nevertheless, there appear to be thousands of True Believers.
Try googling “Emilie Parker alive,” to sample the crazy.
Adepts claim that a photograph of a young girl sitting in President Obama’s lap reveals
that six-year-old Emilie Parker was not murdered at Sandy Hook as reported.
Supposedly, the photo reveals a telltale blunder.
In reality, the child in the photograph is Emilie’s little sister, Madeline.
But why go on? There’s plenty more in the same dogged, delusional vein. Debunk one aspect
of the conspiracy, and a dozen absurdities replace it. To anybody capable of imagining that
staging the Sandy Hook tragedy would even be possible—requiring, as it would, the active
cooperation of half the population of Connecticut—mere evidence and logic are beside the point.
Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised.
Gene's got that right.
America is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 crazy - and you ask why I own guns?

GOP's Worst Week Ever
by Matt Taibbi
Link
Have Republicans ever been more disjointed? More confused?
More incapable of getting out of their own way?
Watching America's political conservatives try to counter-maneuver opposite Obama's
re-inauguration last week has been an incredible comedy - like watching the Three Stooges
try to perform a liver transplant on roller skates.
ha ha
First, they set up "Gun Appreciation Day." But when they hold their gun rallies,
on Martin Luther King Day, what happens? Five people get accidentally shot!
Conservatives could have dealt with this post-Sandy Hook political curveball in a number
of ways, from simply shutting up and working quietly behind the scenes to scuttle gun control.
Instead, they decided to piss all over MLK Day and then shoot themselves in the process.
Well done, fellas! You're well on your way to solving your demographic problems.

McCain is pathetic; why would anyone pay any attention to him? He must be losing it.
Can't wait until Bill joins the fray; This might have been their last hurrah to get at Hillary;
and where were all those republicans during Bush's and Cheney's nine year war; probably in a coma!!

Beyoncé Backlash: Stars React to Lipsynch Stink
It's
Beyonce's turn to get dragged over the coals
Link
First, this is almost as important as who won some damn bicycle race.
Who could possibly care if she lip-synched outside in the cold wind?
If she had forgotten the words or burped or coughed at the wrong time
they would've said she "ruined" Obama's inauguration, so why not lip-synch?
Sure, it would be different if, say, Robert Plant lip-synched on Zeppelin's big
comeback gig because that would've been considered defrauding the public.
BTW, I've had that show for two months and haven't seen it yet.
I've heard it 50 times, but I'm saving the video for when I have the show memorized.
Great night for Zeppelin - I hope you've had a chance to catch that.
Whitney lip-synched her famous Super Bowl National Anthem and Aretha said she had
a LOT of trouble with the weather at Obama's first inauguration but our whore media
has chomped onto this "scandal" like a pit bull on a knotted rope.
Cable "news" and the whore networks (NBC and CBS, at least) think this is a
BIG story, but that's what lazy whores call news when they have time to fill.
It would seem, like Lance, Beyonce NEEDED to be taken down - why?
If this was Madonna or Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton or Amanda Bynes or some
other tabloid target it would make more sense - but what's Beyonce's "crime?"

Going to Alaska
Mrs Bart has always wanted to go to Alaska and Hawaii.
Thanks to Scott H (Don HO) we got to Hawaii in 2005 and we thought we'd
better go to Alaska before I have to drag an oxygen tank behind my wheelchair.
We bought tickets last year but we kept running into reasons why we couldn't go so
we're trying once again to go - and we're Alaska newbies. Astrocat says March is the
best month for aurora viewing and the weather isn't always freezing - hopefully.
BTW, there's something else:
Once we land, I'd enjoy a conversation with someone who agrees with me
on the stupidity of the Obama administration raiding legal businesses.
Any Bartcop readers in or near Anchorage?
And some thing new we're trying:
Would you like to sponsor a portion of the trip?
Maybe a tank of gas or a few dollars towards a hotel or a ferry ride or something?
That would get your name in the sure-to-be-fun Alaska Trip Report.
