in Texas to establish public defender programs

Tiger "Slappy" Woods Update
From: skisics@yahoo.com
Subject: Tiger Woods...opinion
I understand your opinion, but disagree
to some extent.
Tiger Wood's is typical of today's athletes.
No matter which one you name, they are
existing in an environment today
built on the hardship of their forefathers.
But so am I.
I am of Irish decent.
Would your opinion be that I should somehow
give something back
to the Irish community, because of the
sacrifice of the early Irish miners?
If the GOP was violently anti-Irish,
If an Irishman was dragged behind a pickup last year,
If Irishmen were regularly lynched in your daddy's lifetime,
If Irishmen weren't allowed on golf courses when you were born,
and you became the best golfer in history and did what Tiger
has done,
your name would be "Slappy" Skisics and I'd never let up on you.
Tiger is Uncle OJ Watts.
He's accepted in whitey's club for one reason only:
He's good at his sport.
Do you think Uncle OJ would be accepted without a football?
Would whitey accept Tiger without his putter?
Tiger could take a stand and push race relations forward, but
noooooo.
He's too busy whoring for more and more and more money.
He had a chance to make a statement about the Slaver Flag in
Carolina,
but he didn't want his money niagra to dry up, so he passed.
He's a multi-million dollar whore and a coward.
Tiger's place is unique.
Nobody in history has had this opportunity before.
There are STILL golf courses with a "no blacks" policy.
Has Golden Boy ever addressed that?
Or would that interfere with his third hundred-million
dollar payday?
Paul Begala Shoots the Bull
On today's Supreme Court school prayer ruling...
Separating church and state is a profoundly conservative idea.
I'm intrigued by
people who don't think the government is sufficiently competent
to write a health
insurance plan, but is competent enough to write a prayer; that
government can't
be trusted to save lives, but can be trusted to save souls.
The real conservative position, it seems to me, is to keep prayer
sacred,
leaving it in the hands of parents and priests and preachers.
...and,
George W. Bush's pre-fab candidacy is being packaged by some of
the slickest
sharpies on Madison Avenue. One of them, Jim Ferguson of the
New York ad
agency Young & Rubicam told USA TODAY they are selling "Brand
Bush" the
same way they sold McDonald's. With Bush, like McDonald's,
"you know what
you're going to get when you get there." Yes you do, amigo.
You're right there.
Bush IS just like McDonald's:
pre-packaged, filled with empty calories and controlled by corporate
interests.

A caller just asked Rush why he hasn't mentioned
.
Rush said, "I have no comment on whatever's on the Drudge Report
because I haven't heard anything back from ABC yet."
Gee, Rush!
Are you claiming
might be wrong?
You've never admitted that before, Rush.
When Drudge has something snotty to say about Clinton, you don't
wait
for any kind of confirmation - you scream the rumor to 500 radio
stations.
Which reminds me...
Remember what Rush said about Imus?
Rush said Imus was the most honest and on-target radio DJ ever.
He went on and on about Imus the Legend and Imus the Honest.
Then, Imus said Porky was a fat , lying bastard, so Rush declared,
"Imus is always honest and correct EXCEPT when he's talking about
me!"
ha ha
It happened with Bob Woodward, too, but in reverse.
When Woodward wrote his Watergate book, Pigboy said it was
"full of lies and distortions" and he said Woodward was a no-talent
hack.
Then Woodward wrote a book claiming William Casey gave him a
deathbed interview and Rush ridiculed Woodward, calling him a
"no-talent hack and the biggest liar to ever write a book."
Then..
Then...
Then...
Woodward wrote a book about Clinton, and lo and behold,
Woodward was suddenly the Mother Tersa of honesty and accuracy.
Gee, it's almost like Rush is the one lying.
Rush likes to cherry-pick his authors and his lies.
This time, Rush wants us to think,
is all wrong.
He's telling us, "You can't trust Drudge."
Thanks for telling us what we knew back in early 1998.

do you go after Rush anyway? he's too easy)
Santa Inthemorning
My frustration continues.
Here's how it works:
1. Rush, the lying pig bastard strings together
a series of mean-spirited

lies and distortions on the radio every day.
2. I call him on it.
3. A right-winger writes to me to complain.
4. I challenge the right-winger to speak
for Rush so we can battle.
5. The right-winger says, basically "I
can't defend Rush."
The Internet is a hueueueueuege mother-effer.
There must be millions of Rush wannabees
on the www,
but they're all hiding like that coward
at rushonline.com
Santa, here, can't be expected to defend
Rush if he doesn't like him,
but how many more years must I wait to
find a Rush fan?
Bottom line?
Rush and his idiotic pretend-rants can't
be defended by ANYONE.
That's why Rush can't take unscreened calls.
That's why Rush can't go on a talk show
with non-ditto guests,
because he might have to defend that crap
he spews.
Rush is pure bullshit, just like the Republican
Party.
Santa asks why I go after Rush.
Rush is the leader of the Republican party.
He has more power than Delay or Lott.
I don't attack the Pigboy because he's a radio clown.
I attack him because millions of people believe he's God.
He's not.

Justices uphold prayer ban at
schools
Public support for pre-game activity doesn’t
sway court
WASHINGTON, June 19 — Ruling in a case that’s become an issue
on the campaign trail, the Supreme Court on Monday finally pulled their
head
out of their collective asses and struck down a Texas public school
policy of
student prayers before football games.
Smirk has strongly supported the practice. The 6-3 ruling, the most
far-reaching
school prayer decision in nearly a decade, said such prayers violate
the
constitutionally required separation of government and religion.
Two hours into Pigboy's show today,
and all he can talk about is Tiger "Slappy" Woods.
He had about 3 minutes to scream at Richardson for the hard drives,
but other than that it's nothing but praise for the great, white
golfer.
The most nonsensical bullshit-o-rama, perhaps,
ever to come out of the mouth of the Methane Factory.
"Tiger wins because he's on a higher plane.
Tiger lives and breathes the game.
I'm a great golfer myself.
Tiger this, Tiger that.
Tiger dissed Clinton's invitation to the White House.
Have I told you lately that I'm great?
Tiger doesn't use hyphens.
All the other golfers are jealous.
Tiger is one of the good ones.
Tiger this, Tiger that."
How long before Tiger and Smirk play a few rounds?
Makes me want to fucking hurl...

ABC: 'NO CONTRACT' FOR VULGAR PIGBOY ON MNF
ABC-TV has decided not to extend an offer to radio whore Pigboy to become
color commentator of its MNF franchise, the FUDGE REPORT has learned.
Pigboy, who has whored millions of dollars for ABC's radio stations
with his daily
rlitany of lies, was thwarted at the top levels of DISNEY, according
to sources.
DISNEY head Michael Eisner said last week that ABC "would not be hire
the Pigboy."
But Eisner added, "the possibility of guest spots should be investigated."
"It would have been great fun, not only for me personally, but for the
network and its
advertisers," a senior ABC source said over the weekend. "Quite frankly,
Drudge,
the decision was not based on economics, it was based on politics."
The editor of the New York Whore Times must be out of the country,
because an unflatterring article on Smirk was printed this weekend.
Texas Executions:
GW Bush Has Defined Himself,
Unforgettably,
As Shallow And Callous
by Anthony Lewis
BOSTON-There have been questions all along about the depth and
seriousness
of Smirk. They have been brought into sharp focus now by a surprising
issue:
the way the death penalty is administered in Texas. In his comments
on that
subject Smirk has defined himself, unforgettably, as shallow
and callous.
In his five years as governor, the state has executed 131 prisoners
-- far more than any other state. Mr. Bush has lately granted
a stay
of execution for the first time, for a DNA test.
In answer to questions about that record, Governor Bush has repeatedly
said
that he has no qualms. "I'm confident," he said last February, "that
every person
that has been put to death in Texas under my watch has been guilty,
and has had full access to the courts."
That defense of the record ignores many notorious examples of unfairness
in Texas death penalty cases. Lawyers have been under the influence
of
cocaine during the trial, or been drunk or asleep. One court dismissed
a
complaint about a lawyer who slept through a trial with the comment
that
courts are not "obligated to either constantly monitor trial counsel's
wakefulness or endeavor to wake counsel should he fall asleep."
This past week The Chicago Tribune published a compelling report on
an
investigation of all 131 death cases in Smirk's time. It made chilling
reading.
In one-third of those cases, the report showed, the lawyer who represented
the death penalty defendant at trial or on appeal had been or was later
disbarred or otherwise sanctioned. In 40 cases the lawyers presented
no
evidence at all or only one witness at the sentencing phase of the
trial.
In 29 cases, the prosecution used testimony from a psychiatrist who
-- based on a hypothetical question about the defendant's past -- predicted
he would commit future violence. Most of those psychiatrists testified
without
having examined the defendant: a practice condemned professionally
as unethical.
Other witnesses included one who was temporarily released from a psychiatric
ward to testify, a pathologist who had admitted faking autopsies and
a judge
who had been reprimanded for lying about his credentials.
Asked about the Tribune study, Governor Bush said, "We've adequately
answered
innocence or guilt" in every case. The defendants, he said, "had full
access to a fair trial."
There are two ways of understanding that comment. Either Governor Bush
was
contemptuous of the facts or, on a matter of life and death, he did
not care.
At the heart of the problem is the Texas way of providing lawyers for
defendants
too poor to hire their own, as most are in death cases. There is no
state system.
Judges assign lawyers -- often lawyers who have contributed to their
election campaigns.
"The State of Texas is a national embarrassment in the area of indigent
legal services,"
a committee of the State Bar of Texas says in a report just approved.
Again, Smirk
has shown no concern about this reality. He vetoed a bill, passed by
the legislature,
that would have let Texas counties set up a limited public defender
program for the poor.
Capital punishment, long favored by a majority of Americans, has become
a national
issue again because of concern about the fairness of its administration.
Gov. Ryan of
Illinois, a Republican, imposed a moratorium on executions in that
state after 13 men
on death row were shown to be innocent. Pat Robertson and other conservatives
have called for a national moratorium.
The most complete study ever done of the death penalty process, by Prof.
James S.
Liebman and others at Columbia University, was published the other
day. It showed that
two-thirds of death convictions or sentences were upset on appeal for
such reasons as
incompetent defense lawyers or prosecutors who bent the rules.
To all this George Bush is seemingly indifferent. Or perhaps not entirely.
If he were not
running for president, it is doubtful that he would just now have granted
his first stay of
execution. Next week Gary Graham, convicted of murder on the testimony
of a single
witness who said she saw him at night from 30 to 40 feet away, is due
to be executed.
Will Smirk care?
Tiger Woods
From: skisics@yahoo.com
Subject: Tiger Woods in Rush's 'Merica
I was nice to see Tiger win the U.S. Open.
Got me to thinkin':
In Rush's America, Tiger Woods wouldn't
be allowed on
the greens, unless he was trimming or cutting
the grass.
In Rush's America, if the police saw Tiger
Woods with a club in his hand...they'd shoot him.
Sorry, that's Giuliani's New York, my mistake.
ha ha
In Rush's America, Tiger Wood's dad could
be arrested for 'breeding outside of his race'.
In Rush's America, Tiger Woods would have
to be content cleaning houses or other menial jobs.
Luckily, we live in an America where Democratic
President's have worked hard
to make sure the phrase 'All Men Are Created
Equal' has meaning.
Opinion
Skisics,
There's no denying his talent.
The ball falls in the hole when Tiger hits it.
But it pisses me off that I'll have to hear how great he is for
decades to come.
Unluckily, Tiger Woods, the multi-millionaire Clinton-hater, has
become
an icon for the right-wing about how "equal" blacks are now.
I have nothing but disgust and contempt for Mr. Woods.
He has abandoned any pretense of being a hero to black people.
He's as white as any man who ever walked a golf course.
He has become whitey's pet negro.
Tiger doesn't seem to understand the sacrifices of those who came
before him.
He seems to think blacks have acheived equality because HE has.
Remember those two black runners in the 1968 Olympics who raised
their fists
when they received their medals to protest the way blacks were
treated in America?
Tiger Woods is the exact opposite of that.
Somebody needs to buy Tiger Woods a history book.
Tiger had a chance to make a statement in Carolina earlier this
year.
He chose not to make that statement.
After all, HE made it with talent and hard work,
so maybe he feels other blacks are just talentless and lazy?
Tiger's on that same traitor list as Russ Feingold, George Stephanopolous,
Juan Williams, Maryland's Governor Glendenning (sp - I don't
care)
Mike McCurry, DeeDee Myers, and the other back-stabbers.
How much you want to bet, before the year's over,
Tiger and the vulgar Pigboy are seen laughing it up on a golf
course?
Rush could use a man like Tiger Woods.

Bush says U.S. secrets would be safe under him
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (Reuters) - Vowing to end a "sorry chapter" of
security lapses at U.S. nuclear laboratories, Gov. Smirk
said Saturday
U.S. secrets would be safe in his administration.
"America's national security should not be a matter of lost and
found,"
Smirk told a veterans' conference in the central Florida city
of Kissimmee.
Bush criticized the Clinton/Gore administration for "confusion
and chaos"
at the Los Alamos Labs that has resulted in mishaps involving
top-secret
nuclear information.
Bush didn't actually make it clear how his leadership would compel
low-level staffers to immediately come forward and notify
superiors
when something wasn't right, but Bush's daddy was president when
that
horrible Reagan Recession bottomed out in 1991, so he can be
trusted.
Bush Missed 'Medical' During Nat'l Guard Service

to take his "medical' and gosh-darn the luck - he just missed
it!

Bush Flies into an Air Force
Cocaine Cloud
Once again, we must go outside of Texas to get
news critical of Bush..
Why is the Texas press giving him a free ride?
George W Bush, was suspended from flying as a young pilot for
failing to takea medical examination that included a drug test.
Documents obtained by The Sunday Times reveal that in August 1972, as
a 26-year-old
flyboy in the Air National Guard, Bush was grounded for failing to
take a medical exam
that would have indicated whether he was taking drugs.
Rumors of cocaine use and "lost weekends in Mexico" have plagued Bush
Jr, 53,
for months since he declared himself a candidate in the presidential
race.
With character an election issue, the latest revelation is certain to
rekindle interest
in Bush's past. Yesterday it provoked accusations by Democrats of a
cover-up.
While he has consistently admitted to a "misspent youth", Bush has
evaded questions
about cocaine or other drug use, implying only that he has not taken
illegal substances
since 1974, the year after he left the Air National Guard.
Allegations about his stint in a reserve unit at the height of the Vietnam
war are likely
to provoke parallels with Bill Clinton, whose early presidential candidacy
was mired in
accusations of draft-dodging and questions of whether he inhaled marijuana
as a student.
Bush was not required to face drug tests when he first entered the reserve
unit
as a Yale graduate in 1968. It was only at the end of 1971 that the
US Air Force
introduced a drug-screening policy. In April 1972 the Pentagon implemented
a
drug-abuse testing program that required at least one random drug test
every year.
The code stated that personnel must undergo the medical in the month
following their
birthday. For Bush, this meant August. In May, the young airman moved
from his
Air Force training base in Houston to Massabama.
To avoid constant travel, he applied to move his training program from
Houston
to Dannelly Air Base in Montgomery, Alabama, but he never arrived.
William Turnipseed, a retired general who commanded the Alabama unit
at the time,
said Bush never appeared for duty. Two commanders at Ellington air
force base in
Houston said in his record they were unable to perform his annual evaluation
covering
the year from May 1, 1972 to April 30, 1973. "Lt Bush has not been
observed at this
unit during the period of this report," they wrote.
Veterans claim Bush has not been shy in extolling the virtues of
his flying career despite not being backed up by his record.
Today, Fox Whore News accidentally let this slip on the air.
Gee, I wonder what was wrong with the 9AM version?
Did that lying shit Juan Williams accidentally tell the fucking
truth?
That might've angered Mr. Murdoch, and jeopardized his kid's
education.
You remembered the last time Fox News pulled the old switcheroo?
They started out saying, "Elian REMOVED from Miami relative's
home."
When the hateboys got to the office it suddenly changed to
"ELIAN SEIZED IN RAID
ON RELATIVE'S HOME,"
because Fox News didn't think " removed "
would cause a riot,
so they changed " removed " to "seized
in raid" trying to incite one.
"Seized in Raid"
is so much more incendiary than a mere " removed,
"
and after all, they ARE in the business of being whores.
I sure wish we could get a look at the version they're hiding from us.

Santa Inthemorning
Santa,
Always good to hear from the Dark Side.
A. Assuming you think the death penalty
is a deterrent,
why don't we use it for car theft, burglary, pot possession,
bad credit,
running stop signs and every other problem society has?
If it's a deterrent, wouldn't we live in a perfect society
the very day the Cro-Mags push that bill thru and Smirk signs
it?
If it's your position the mere threat of harsh punishment will
stop
murderous behavior, wouldn't it stop lesser forms of crime, too?
B. Maybe that's what Novak meant,
but that's not what he said.
He said children, education and the environmentwere
"good things,"
and if you agreed with government spending money on them,
you should vote for Gore.
C. do you believe in "the leftist

If you did, I thought of a little game you and me could play:
Let's agree on a day in the future, say this Wednesday.
I'll pick an hour of Rush's show, in advance, and you pick an
hour of

Ok, I'll take the first hour of Pigboy Wednesday the 21st.
Before then, get back to me with which hour you're picking.
(You can pick two halves if you want.)
If this works, maybe next week I'll take Hannity and you can pick

"Out of my store, nigger," and that was absolutely legal.
A couple of years ago I found out that in the south, some restaurants
had a
white menu and a black menu. If a black couple came in, they'd
see a menu
that had $3 hamburgers when the white menu had fifty cent hamburgers.
One of the first race jokes I ever heard him do was something
about a white
couple left their seats to get popcorn and when they came back,
black people
had taken their seats and they were too afraid to ask them to
move.
Pryor did the white people's reactions and the black reactions
and I think that
was the fist time the masses thought about that from each point
of view.
You didn't do things like that on television.
While I'm on the subject, let me say something nice about a guy
I've had some negative things to say about - Frank Sinatra.
Back in the fifties, racism was much more common than in the
sixties.
So here comes Frank Sinatra and his negro friend Sammy Davis
Jr.
And the nightclub owners and the casino owners would say,
"We love you Frank, but lose the nigger," and Frank would say,
"No."
The way the story goes, (I wasn't there) Frank told them if they
wanted
him, they had to let Sammy eat in their restaurant, sleep in
their hotels
and play on their stages and in their casinos. That took
balls.
I know Frank was no angel, and they say he was the queen bitch
drunk,
but Frank was big on loyalty and he stuck with Sammy.
Now, Frank was never on my top 50 list of people to meet,
and I can't take anything away from Washington or Lincoln,
but I see Richard Pryor as a historical figure so I'd pick him.
Smirk Does Charity Work
Republican presidential hopeful George Bush polishes a car, Friday,
June 16, 2000 in Villach, Austria in the southern province of Carinthia.
Smirk cleaned cars at a fast food restaurant drive-through.
Wait!
Why was Smirk in Austria yesterday?
What?
That's who?
Joerg Haider?
That Nazi guy from Austria?
Are you sure that's him?
How can you tell?
It sure looks like Smirk to me...
Are you sure?
How can you tell them apart?

Bob Lancaster's column from the Arkansas Times

Q. My place is overrun with ticks this year. What is the current
thinking
about the proper way to remove one of them?
A. There's no good way to do this, especially if you and a partner
are
romantically involved at the time of the creature's discovery.
The only
consensus at the moment seems to be regarding the tick removal
method
formerly recommended by practically all the authorities --touching
a
hot match to the embedded tick's rear end. Practically every
one of those
same authorities now says you should never, ever do this. Apparently
ticks
evolved thicker, heat resistant rear ends to thwart the procedure,
and
holding the match closer for a longer period of time doesn't
overcome the
adaptation; instead, it tends to cause the tick to explode, and
this can
complicate your situation rather seriously and also gruesomely.
I have a contribution to make at this point. I've found a foolproof
way to rid
yourself of ticks. Just get in your car around noontime, roll
down a window,
turn on the radio to Rush Limbaugh, and turn up the volume. If
you have two
ticks on you or two hundred, they will turn loose and flee your
person and
the car within a very short time. I don't know if it's the annoying
voice or
the annoying philosophy; whatever, it will send many other varieties
of
vermin skedaddling also.

Loyalty

Subject: Russ Fiengold
I'll defend Russ to the end. He is
perhaps the only member of
congress who can honestly claim to an independent.
You might want to
review his last campaign; Strangely, he
actually practiced what he preached,
accepting no soft money, and following
the rules he and McCain had proposed
earlier in the year. Of course 'campaign
finance reform' was defeated,
but he, being a stand-up kinda guy, still
managed to follow them (the afore
mentioned rules), despite intense pressure
from the DNC not to. This
honesty/integrety almost cost him the election.
Every once in a while, I
suppose, the electorate manages to see
through the barrage of advertising, and
pick the more deserving of candidates,
this was definately one of those times.
You might want to check out his voting
record as well.

Jesse,
I admire loyalty.
You say Feingold can honestly claim to be an independent?
I guess he can.
He was certainly independent of the Democratic party during impeachment.
Maybe Ol' Russ is everything you say, but to me, even thirty years from
now,
he'll always be the Democrat who voted to continue to play with the
evidence
when his country desperately wanted the Congress to move on.
...and what did Clinton do?
What was Clinton's reaction to Feingold's knife in the back?
He said, "That's OK. Russ was voting his conscience."
That's 200 times more forgiving that I would've been.
I would've flown to Milwaukee in my big, blue jet and campaign for
some hot,
young Democrat running against Feingold and retire Ol' Russ forever.
Clinton is a lot better man than me.
Elton John Blasts Scottish Cardinal Over Gay Views
LONDON (Reuters) - Pop legend Elton John
attacked the leader of Scotland's
Roman Catholics Thursday for his ''ignorance''
over homosexuality.
"Cardinal Winning and his ignorance, is totally
representative of why people are turning
away from the Church,'' John wrote in this
week's edition of The Spectator magazine.
The singer was responding to an article
written by Cardinal Thomas Winning in which
the priest said homosexuals were ensnared
in ``a lifestyle that can never respond
to the deepest longings of the human heart.''
"As a gay man I am perfectly happy with my sexuality
and my life,'' wrote the singer.
"I can honestly say that the deepest longings
of my heart are satisfied.''
John said he was astonished to be getting
advice from a celibate individual
ha ha
Elton, don't kid yourself.

Subject: Gore & the Internet
Actually... the Internet itself has existed
since 1969 or 1970, created by
the Department of Defense for faster communication
in times of crisis.
It was made available to universities sometime
between then and 1989 or so...
I think what Gore set in motion may have
been an item designed to
improve the existing technology and make
it available to the public at
large, paving the way for existing companies
like America Online and
Prodigy and Compuserve to eventually become
Internet providers, as well
as the startup of all the independent ISPs.
So, while the Internet existed before Gore's
efforts, it seems he was
important in making it possible for all
of us to be here and doing this now. :)
Wildcat!
"I am so stupid!"
(Think Chris farley)
I should've posted the whole story, because I wasn't familiar
with it myself.
The way I understand it, and fuck knows it's every man for himself
since
the whore media can't be counted on to anything but shill for
higher ratings,
Gore authored legislation to convert a tool that academics and
the Pentagon
used into the biggest thing in the history of communications.
I'm not saying "nobody else could've done it."
I'm not saying Gore wrote the first line of code.
I'm saying what he said:
Gore took the initiative in creating the Internet.
Somebody had to - we're lucky it was Gore.
