Clinton - Bad for America?

I heard a blurb on the radio the other day
that oil companies are having
problems finding workers because of the
low unemployment situation.
Ray
Ray,
This is true.
It's just another example of how Clinton has hurt this country.
When Reagan and Butch ran the show, we always had people
that needed work, but not anymore.
Noooooooooooo.
Clinton ruined unemployment for everyone.

Brain Smasher Interviews Mr. Saturday Nite .38 Special
Update
At the address below, you can hear some of each song free.
I got this double-CD in the mail over the weekend.
Nice.
My favorite band was always Led Zeppelin.
I have one of the premier live Led collections in the
world.
It goes without saying that Jimmy Page is God.
However, Robert Plant, for reasons known only to him,
hasn't wanted to play the "good" songs for 20 years.
Page was always the "Led," and Plant was the "Zeppelin."
Page was the heavy monster, Plant was the peacenik hippy.
Page wanted to do In My Time of Dying, Dazed, Heartbreaker,
while Plant wanted to sing Going to California and Tangerine.
Page got together with the Crowes and they're playing the good stuff.
Of course, it's not prime Zeppelin, but it's fun to hear the old classics.
Custard Pie, The Lemon Song, You Shook Me, and
really nice versions
of What is & What Should Never Be, Ten Years Gone
and Sick Again.
Available only on the net.
They're touring soon, and Page says they might do Achilles Last Stand.
That and Time of Dying are the most intense songs I've ever
seen performed.

returns safely)

I'm amazed and amused by the right wing's conception of the proper
role
of government. The same folks who don't trust the government
to write
a health insurance policy DO trust the government to write a
prayer.
So Big Government can save souls, but it can't save lives.
Remember the Republican debates?
George W. was asked last November what he would do if gasoline
prices were to skyrocket, (they were still quite low back then).
His answer was that he would ask his Texas oil buddies to pump more
oil.
The quote I remember was "Hey, fellas, pump more oil."
Isn't that precious?
Smirk apparently knows the oil business like he knows government.
Here's how that works: When the price of oil dropped, wells were closed.
The drillers found other jobs, because starving just ain't worth it.
Now, under Clinton, these drillers and roughnecks have high-paying jobs.
They're not going to leave these high-paying jobs to go back to those
sweaty oil fields hoping that oil will stay high enough long enough
for them to make enough money to justify leaving their current jobs.
"Hey, fellas, pump more oil," is a Smirk-for-brains solution to jack shit.
..and people wonder why I say Smirk won't make it thru August?
The ONLY way I'm wrong about this is if the GOP is so incredibly
goddamn stupid that they'd rather see four years of Gore than admit
they picked the wrong horse to bet on.
So,
...that means,
...I'm betting the GOP is smart enough to pour piss out of a boot?
Uh-Oh!
This Just In...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- While Republicans press for new investigations
into
his missing e-mail and staff contacts with the IRS, Al Gore waves
them off
as red herrings and says there is no scandal there.
George W Bush indicated he would keep both brewing.
"The problem with this administration is that we've heard all
about these red
herrings before, but they always turn into additional ethical
problems when the
truth comes out," said Bush campaign spokesman Ari Fleischer.

Uganda
Religious Leaders Drank Blood
New Vision (Kampala)
March 28, 2000
Kampala - Doomsday cult leaders slaughtered a
child every Friday morning
and drank its blood in their sacred religious
services.
James Mujuni reports that the bizzare ritual was
intended to keep the opposition at
bay and government agencies off the cult's crimes.
A senior special branch Police officer said the
leaders of the Movement for the
Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God contemplated
the murder of over
1,000 members of their flock to stem off mounting
opposition over the victims' property.
"The religious leaders consulted witches in Karoza
and Mityana. The witches
advised them to kill the opposition leaders and
drink the blood of a young slain child
to keep off the spirits and Government," the
police said.
The weekly Orumuri newspaper on Monday quoted
Flugensia Katano, a resident of
Rukungiri, as saying Father Dominic Kataribaabo
and Sr. Credonia Mwerinde
carried out the murders and the cannibalism in
their Kanungu office.
He said he never reported the matter to the authorities.
The Rev. Fr. Paul Ikazire,
the Roman Catholic priest who defected
from the cult in 1994, told The New Vision
on March 24, that senior religious leader Joseph
Kibwetere, ran mad in 1993.
Question.
How can you tell when a religious leader goes mad?
Bill Clinton - making government friendly again...

Gas Prices
If the USA Today can believed (50-50 chance)
the price of a barrel of oil October 1, 1999 was $24.
As of yesterday, a barrel of oil costs $27.
That means gasoline that costs $1.20 on October 1
should cost about $1.35 today.
I think if Sherlock Holmes was here,
I think he'd deduce that we're getting hosed by Big Oil.
You see, Congress could be looking into something like that, an
illegal
price-gouging scheme by Smirk's friends, the Wiley Brothers and
Big Oil.
But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
You know why, don't you?
How long you been reading bartcop.com?
The answer is always the same.
It's got nothing to do with Clinton's cock,
so there's no reason for Congress to investigate.
Am I sick yet?
Am I fucking sick yet, America?
I'm pissed off!
I'm mad as fucking hell!
I'm fed up!
Are you fed up, too?
I want everyone - right now - to go to your windows,

BartCop on Their Side
I need to jump into bed with Mitch McConnell and Tom Coburn for
a minute.
(Shudder)
Last night, I saw Mitch McConnell, (R-Whore) on Chris the Catholic,
saying,
"If we amend the Bill of Rights to prohibit flag-burning, then
we should ban the
singing of the Star-Stangled Banner like Roseanne did, right?
And if we do that, we should make it illegal to burn a Bible,
because that's worse than burning our flag, right?"
The Republican is right.
Leave the Constitution alone.
This morning, I heard Sen Diane Feinstein (D-Wrong) arguing FOR
the
amendment to criminalize flag-burning, which is really free speech,
right?
The Democrat is wrong, the Republican is right
(Shudder)
Then I hear Tom Coburn telling his constituents NOT to fill out
the long form
of the census, because it's "too intrusive."
The Jesus Twin is right.
No wonder Perkel for US
Senate burned his census form on the capitol steps.
(see below)
Some spokesman for the administration came on and said, "It's
inportant to
fill out the forms so we can count the people, or we might lose
a member
of Congress due to under-reporting of the population."
But,
The long form wants a LOT more information than just numbers.
Koresh!
They want to know what time Ol' BartCop leaves for work?
That's horseshit!
How does that accurately measure population?
The administration is wrong, the Jesus Twin is right.
I don't like agreeing with the cavemen.
The Democrats need someone strong to lead them out of the abyss
as the best president of our lifetime looks at retirement.
What this country needs is top minds like BartCop and Perkel
in charge.

Weddings are So Beautiful!!!
Congradulations to K-Drag AM radio Nazi Michael Del Giorno.

Isn't marriage a wonderful sacrament?
A marriage is a contract between a man, a woman, and God.
Y'know, some of us, when we stand before God and take an oath
to love,
honor, respect "till death do us part," some of
us take that oath seriously.
To some of us, an oath means something, Michael!!!!
I know, I know...
That lusty itch you get between your legs can be very powerful.
But, I guess if you claim to be a person of faith, like Amy Grant,
and that itch is just keeps burning and burning,
because he/she has such a sweet, tight ass that just calls
to you,
you can just hop from bed to bed from here till eternity, right?
I mean, screw the kids and my vows, because you have needs, right?
After all, it was God who put that itch in your pants,
so He's really the one at fault, right, Amy?
Isn't that right, Michael?
It's God's fault, right?
Blame God!
Swear to Koresh, there are times when I think I'm the one
with the spirituality.
If Ol' BartCop was religious, he'd live that faith every day
in every fucking way.
These "occasional" Christians really make me sick.
They can't stand on the ground and let sleeping dogs lie, nooooooo.
They'd rather climb a tree to SCREAM at Clinton for his
sins, then drop their
panties for somebody they're not married to and that makes me

sick.

Perkel Runs for US Senate 
Marc Perkel, publisher of bartcop.com is running
for the US Senate.
Swear to Koresh, this is not a joke - he filed yesterday.
He's running against impeachment-loving John Ashcroft (R-Handjob)
Rumor has it, if Smirk picks Ashcroft as VP, to placate the McVeigh
wing,
Perkel would run against Missouri's Governor Mel Carnahan in
November.
How did Perkel kick off his Senate bid?
Like anybody would.
He set a fire!
This is Marc Perkel, today, setting fire to his long-form
census form,
between the Missouri State Capitol and the Missouri Supreme Court,
right after filing for the position of US Senate candidate..
Perkel has promised Ol' BartCop a part in his campaign.
Of course, "a part" is typical political weasel
words, but I
trust Perkel.
(cough)
But wait - I haven't told you the
best part.
He's running as a REPUBLICAN!!
ha ha
In Missouri, you don't register as Nazi or Democrat.
You just vote.
Perkel's politics are eerily like my own.
I asked him how he could run as a Republican since, on his web
pages,
he argues for the de-criminalization of marijuana.
"Simple," he said. "I'm
for less government. Why should the
government
pay for men in helicopters to fly over
private land and search for weeds?
I'm for less government!"
insisted Perkel.
ha ha
I asked how he could run as a Republican if he's pro-choice.
He reminded me, a majority of the GOP is pro-choice.
He expects that to help him,, not hurt him.
...and then the big one - legalized prostitution.
I asked him if he was going to deep-six his popular
"How to find the Best Escort Service" web page, you know
what he said?
"This is America, and I'm running as
a Republican.
I'm a capitalist, and even though the
government wants her to give it away,
I think a hard-working woman should
be allowed to earn some money."
ha ha
Perkel wants to deliver LESS GOVERNMENT!
The Republicans all claim they want less government, but
then the Coathanger
Coalition writes a bunch of stupid, illogical laws for their
trained monkeys to push,
even though they admit they're getting their instructions
from invisible ghosts!!!
Let's hear it for LESS GOVERNMENT!
You don't ever want to tell Marc Perkel he cannot do something.
Remember in 1998, he was falsely ARRESTED and illegally JAILED
while an active candidate for the US House of Representatives.
http://www.perkel.com/senate/index.htm
I asked him if he was jail-proof as a candidate for the
US Senate, and he said,
"No, but they won't murder me while
I'm running."

The topic this week?
"Smirk vs Gore"
Tune in, see who he hates more...
The Wiley Brothers
He Who Smirks has an editorial
in today's USA Today.
(I wonder how many staffers proof-read it for spelling errors?)
Smirk explains all about campaign finance problems and how to fix them.
His suggestions:
- ban corporate and union "soft money."
- require unions to get permission to spend money for politics
- require instant disclosure on the Internet
- prohibit donations while congress is in session
- adjust contribution levels for inflation
- eliminate the "rollover" loophole from previous campaigns
Poor Smirk, he got one out of six right, the blue sentence above.
Wait - one out of six - wasn't that his average at Yale?
Smirk failed to mention the Wiley Brothers.
Many people know about them, but in case you haven't heard...
When McCain was kicking Smirk's ass in New York, by 15 points or so,
the Wiley Brothers, good old rich Republicans from Texas,
showed up
with their big wallets and bought $2,000,000 in New York TV time to
run commercials saying McCain hated clean air and clean water.
Even in New York, $2,000,000 will buy a lot of TVcommercials.
Under Smirk's "new campaign finance rules," that's legal.
It's like Smirk wants to regulate ten and twenty dollar bills,
but wants 50 and 100 dollar bills to be regulation free.
Smirk is so stupid, he might believe he's doing the right thing.
But what good does it do to see a list of Smirk's contributors on the
Internet
if the Wiley Brothers can secretly whip out their wallets 1,500
miles from home
to finance a stealthy hate-campaign against a decorated war hero?
Sherlock Pigboy
I didn't hear every Pigboy lie yesterday.
Did he mention Andrea Mitchell's husband?
It's unusual for Alan Greenspan to speak in clearly-understood English,
but yesterday he told the Senate Special Committee on Aging:
"Saving the surpluses is the most important measure we can take
at this time to foster continued improvements in productivity."
Now, Sherlock Pigboy is going use his magnifying glass and find the
words,
"We need to give the rich a huge tax cut," in those comments by Greenspan.
Like a good detective, Rush catches what we all miss.

Great GOP Quotes
"God does not forbid women to be leaders in society,
...but when that
occurs it's usually because of the abdication of men. As in the
situation of
Deborah and Barak, there's a certain shame attached to
it. I would vote for
a woman for the presidency, in some situations, but again, there's
a certain
shame attached. Why don't you have a man who's able to
step forward?
God's Word says very plainly that an elder is to be a man; he
is to be the
husband of one wife. It's harder when there are women who are
CEOs of
companies and so forth. Still, it comes down to the question
of 'Do we trust
God and do we believe that He has wisdom that we don't have.'

Do you really think there's a way to stop me from publishing?
I'll publish what I want, when I want.
You can't stop me.
Pigboy can't stop me.
Laura can't stop me.
Smirk can't stop me.
If your lawyer is Scalia, you can't stop me.
You gonna file a lawsuit against Ol' BartCop?
Could you please do it in a state where cameras are allowed?
I'll bet the bartcop.com readers would love
to see it.
Hey, maybe it'll be on Court TV!
ha ha
Tell you what, I'll make you a deal:
I won't publish this image anymore.
I don't even know what the fuck it is.
You see, it wasn't accompanied by any text, so it could be anything.
Is this Rush dancing?
Is he putting out a cigarette with his shoe?
Who knows what the fuck that is...
That's why I stopped using your work.
It's just not good enough for bartcop.com
The images have digital watermarks imbedded in
them and
I'll have no problem proving that they are mine
Duh!
Who else would claim them?
You expecting a big court challenge from others claiming to be the
Wizard of Whimsey?
When did the doctor say that head swelling would go down?
...this is your final warning.
ha ha
Make him stop!
My final warning?
ha ha
You gonna come get me, Whimsey?
Maybe you could get the others and team up against me!
Rush, Laura, Larry Klayman, Liddy and the Wizard of Whimsey!
The Dream Team!
The Dream Team, against Ol' BartCop!
ha ha
Tell me, who'd be the brains of your team?
I'd suggest Liddy, but I've already kicked his ass.
Y'know, as fun as this is, my heart's just not in it.
It would be so much more fun if you were a Republican, but noooo.
You're a Democrat, a good guy, who's just a liiiiiiiiiittle too proud
of some less-than-extraordinary images.
That's too bad.
If you were a Republican prick, I'd enjoy teasing you more.
Tell you what, since you're on the right side of the issues,
I'm going to do you a favor.
Before you spend any money, have your lawyer contact me
and I'll straighten him out so it won't cost you anything.

SAINT PAUL, Minnesota, March 27 (AmpolNS) --
"When I do it, it's OK; when YOU do it, it's bad."
I swear to God, folks, that seems to be the motto of the Republican Party.
-- Republican Newt Gingrich got Democratic House Speaker Jim
Wright ousted
over a $55,000 book deal Wright cut. Then, one week before Newt
becomes
Speaker in 1995, what did he do? Gingrich cut a book deal with
Rupert
Murdoch for $4.5 million -- nearly eighty times what Wright
got.
-- In a blatant quid pro quo. In exchange for his $4.5 million,
Newt
passed legislation that, among other things, put $65 million
into
Murdoch's pocket by slashing his taxes (and his alone), and
allowed the
existence of FOX News by repealing the law against foreign ownership
of
more than 25 percent of a US media enterprise.
-- Dick Armey attacked Clinton over Paula Jones, saying that
if he, Dick
Armey, had even faced accusations (not convictions or even evidence,
mind
you, just mere accusations) similar to the sexual harassment
ones leveled
against President Clinton, that he, Dick Armey, would resign
his position.
However, Mr. Armey is not a man of his word: several females,
all former
students of his, came forward to say that the former Economics
Chair of a
Texas university did not take "no" for an answer when it came
to having his
sexual advances being rebuffed...and Dick Armey didn't resign
from anything.
-- Bill Clinton got raked over the coals for boneheadedly succumbing
to the
blandishments of an intern with a groupie mentality. Meanwhile,
Republican
horndog serial adulterers such as Henry Hyde, Bob Dole, Helen
Chenoweth,
Bob Barr, Dan Burton and (but of course!) Newt Gingrich are
called "statesmen."
And now, we have another example.
RNC Chair Jim Nicholson has just been burning up the fax lines
trying to
get his Freeper minions to keep up the heat on the mainstream
press to
"cover" the Maria Hsia campaign-finance convictions I mentioned
last week.
But what Mr. Nicholson would rather you didn't know, is this:
Even as the GOP harangues Gore over foreign donations that were
all
returned, and over a case against Hsia so bogus that Hsia's
presiding judge is
even now considering dismissing the charges despite the guilty
verdict, the
Associated Press reported on March 24, 2000, that the Republican
Party
has been pushing strongly for legalizing foreign soft-money
donations.
You read that right.
As Jonathan Salant reported for AP, records showed that in 1999,
Republican Party lawyers argued that contributions from foreign
sources
should be considered legal -- even as GOP officials were attacking
Democrats for accepting those contributions.
Here are some excerpts from Salant's story:
* In a case that escaped much public attention, GOP lawyers submitted
briefs to the Federal Election Commission last year claiming
that the federal
ban on foreign contributions applied solely to donations to
candidates, not the
unregulated sums known as soft money that are given to the political
parties.
* "Foreign national donations to party committee non-federal
accounts are
legally permissible...," the Republican National Committee's
lawyers wrote
in a brief in a dispute over a loan from a foreign businessman.
"It could
not be more apparent that ... Congress intended the proscriptions
of the
Federal Election Campaign Act to apply only to 'hard money'
contributions."
Yupper, folks: The GOP says that foreign-money donations are
OK so long as
it's "soft money." But wait! There's more:
* Republican officials said lawyers were simply trying to make
the best
possible case from the available law and rulings, but did not
believe the
loan should have been treated as a foreign donation as regulators
argued.
* "It has always been the policy of the RNC not to accept foreign
national
contributions," spokesman Mike Collins said.
...unless, of course, they're cunningly-disguised book deals
from Rupert Murdoch,
or monies given to then-RNC Chair Haley Barbour by Chinese businessmen
in
Kowloon Harbour (more on that little sweet little arrangement
in a moment.)
But back to the excerpts from Mr. Salant's story:
* ...the GOP has relentlessly tried to make the vice president's
involvement in
the controversy -- including his visit to a Buddhist temple
where illegal donations
were made -- an issue in the campaign...
* But the same scandal prompted revelations that Republicans,
shortly
before their historic 1994 election victory that gave them control
of Congress,
arranged a $2.1 million loan from a Hong Kong businessman. Former
RNC
chairman Haley Barbour has defended his role in arranging the
loan.
* The FEC's chief lawyer recommended a full-scale investigation
into
whether Barbour knew the money came from foreign sources, but
the
six-member commission deadlocked along party lines.
* Before the case was dropped, the RNC defended Barbour in a
series of
legal filings. The GOP's main argument was that the loan should
not be
considered a campaign contribution and therefore the ban on
foreign
donations was irrelevant.
* The party's lawyers also argued that if the loan was considered
to be a
contribution, then the foreign ban did not apply. The lawyers
said the
rule applied only to donations to candidates, known as hard
money, and not
to the unregulated contributions to political parties often
referred to as
soft money or non-federal donations.
* That's the same argument Attorney General Janet Reno used in
refusing to
appoint an independent counsel to investigate the 1996 fundraising
practices, a decision often criticized by Republicans.
Again: If the Republicans do it, it's okay. If Democrats do it, it's bad.
Salant reports that the DNC has gone to court to force the FEC
to continue
its investigation of Barbour. I should certainly hope
so!
Perhaps the FEC needs a little extra persuasion.
