Miller Surprised Many
especially BartCop
The addition of Dennis Miller was widely considered a surprise.
Michaels and Ohlmeyer said they were “just blown away”
by Miller’s audition two and a half weeks ago.
Miller learned of his appointment Wednesday night.
"Without a single note in front of him, Miller knew player bios,
the plays themselves, the history of the teams,” Michaels said
of Miller’s audition. “We were speechless.”
Miller said he has a “nerd’s knowledge of football” and
“hoped to bring some humor to the booth.” He said he
planned to continue doing his weekly comedy show on HBO.

Dennis Miller apparently has the inside
track to become the next color

Michael Eisner threatened
to fire everyone involved if Rush Limbaugh
was hired for the job.
I'm looking forward to him comparing Randy

There will be a palpable silence from the
booth as nobody gets the reference.

Begala Shoots the Bull
The Book of Deuteronomy (17:6) says, "On the testimony of two
or three
witnesses a man shall be put to death, but no one shall be put
to death on the
testimony of only one witness." This wise and ancient rule is
repeated in the
Book of Numbers (35:30): "Anyone who kills a person is to be
put to death as
a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is
to be put to
death on the testimony of only one witness."
Today, George W. Bush will bear the moral responsibility for a
man scheduled
to be put to death on the basis of the testimony of just one
eyewitness -- the very
scenario the Bible warns against.
Think about these facts, as reported by Dave McNeely, the brilliant
columnist
for the Austin American-Statesman:
* There were six people who witnessed the shooting. Only one identified
Graham;
* Graham's trial attorney failed to call the other five.
* Graham's four alibi witnesses were never called;
* The ballistics tests did not match a gun Graham was carrying
when arrested;
Does George W. Bush care about any of this?
Whether you are for or against capital punishment, the notion
of this callow,
shallow, cynical frat-rat making life and death decisions should
chill your blood.
If Bush allows his state to kill Gary Graham,
some will say Graham died for Bush's lack of character.

Does Al Gore read bartcop.com?
According to Public Citizen, Texaco’s first-quarter profits jumped
473 percent
over 1999. Conoco and Phillips, respectively, saw profits
go up 371 percent
and 257 percent over the same period.
“Now you put two and two together and look
at the huge price increases
that they say they can’t explain and look
at the 500 percent increase in profits
and look at the way they’ve been getting
bigger,” Gore told CNN.
Recently, it was stated on bartcop.com that
the easiest way to see if the
government's insistence on cleaner gasoline was the cause of
the massive
price increases would be the oil companiy's profit margin.
Here's how it looked: (From Volume 216)
Y'know, it's too bad there are no gamblers

I'm in a gambling mood, after listening

Rush says the increase in gas prices
is Al Gore's fault, due to the
"new, obtrusive, unneeded and expensive
clean air requirements"
forced on the poor, poor oil companies
by the big, bad government.
If the oil companies are not
price-gouging,
if the oil companies are merely passing
on the high-costs of
Al Gore's extremism, that means their
profits will not increase.
Any gamblers out there now?
ha ha
The oil company's profits are about to
shoot thru the goddamn roof.
Actually, I shouldn't try to claim credit for that.
Catching the vulgar Pigboy in a lie isn't exactly rocket science.

Carrie, I sure like your sense of justice. :)
When dealing with the vulgar Pigboy, it's almost impossible to
go too far.
Rush re-wrote the rules on ethics, accuracy and good taste years
ago,
and the whore mainstream media followed him right into the gutter.
True, I don't have a tape of Rush saying, "Ha ha on the dumpster
vets,"
but he likes to go on and on about the "proper etiquette" for
homeless
people who are forced to scrounge for meals in a dumpster, and
he loves
to ridicule the poor bastard who decided to sleep in a dumpster
because
the benefits of hiding from the rain or the cold outweighed the
stench
of sleeping inside the dumpster.
Where Rush really gets his best laughs is when he reads that some
poor
schmuck, asleep in a dumpster, was picked up and crushed to death
by the
compactor inside the goddamn garbage truck. That sick bastard
cackles
with glee when he sees a report like that - that's the kind of
slug he is.
The veteran reference comes from a generic statistic that a "high
percentage"
of the homeless are Vietnam Veterans. If I had a staff, or more
time, I could
track that percentage down for you. Since that percentage means
that a
much-higher-than-usual rate of Vietnam vets are involved, the
only decent thing
for the vulgar Pigboy to do would be to not make fun of ANY dumpster
deaths,
so as to insulate himself from those kinds of charges.
But no, he'd rather shit on the homeless vets and enjoy a big hearty laugh.
...and if he doesn't like it, he can always sue me.
He said it again:

There's a man in Texas scheduled to die at Smirk's hands tonight.
Gary Graham is supposed to fall victim to Smirk's Swift Sword
at midnight.
Funny, that idiot Smirk claims he has "no power" to stop the Texecution.
This is horseshit.
Every person on the Texas Pardon and Parole Board was personally
appointed by He Who Smirks. To suggest that he's unable
to influence
these blood-thirsty Cro-Mags is too absurd to fool anyone but
a ditto-monkey.
All Smirk would need to do is pick up the phone and say,
"I want that man alive until we get the facts on the DNA evidence,"
but Smirk cries, "I don't have that power. I'm powerless. I'm
a nobody."
But that's not even the biggest dollop of horseshit in this story.
Smirk was whining about the high price of gasoline, saying if
Clinton was a good
president, in he was any good at persuading people, he should
be able to contact
the Saudi Taliban and the OPEC Ministers and convince them to
drop their prices.
Excuse me?
Did Clinton personally appoint the OPEC Ministers?
If Smirk has no persuasive power over fellow-ditto-monkey Texans
that he,
the Smirkster, personally appointed, how in the
wide, wide world of sports
can he call Clinton names for being unable to persuade some 16th-century
hanky-heads on the other side of the world to drop their prices?
Smirk - blow me!
South Park
I'm not the biggest South Park fan in the world, but that could
change.
The only show I ever saw was one last year that featured talking
turds.
Mrs BartCop said I could watch it, but not with her in the room.
(You married men know what that means...)
But yesterday's USA Today said last night's South Park was pretty
funny
so I checked it out last night. When one of the characters was
puking and
blowing blood out of his nose and experiencing projectile
diarrhea,
she left the room but I had to stay and see how it ended. Know
why?
I read an interview with the SP boys recently, and one of them
said
if somebody gives them some shit, they put him in the next show.
So, last night's show featured a visit from the NAMBLA group.
That's the North American Man-Boy Love Association.
They fell in love with the main cartoon kid (red shirt?) and
invited
him and all his little boy friends to a hotel for some hot, illegal
sex.
Do you know who the president of NAMBLA was in the cartoon?
ha ha
Michael Medved, the cowardly, Clinton-hating, self-appointed moralist!
It was funny as hell, and there's no doubt it was
him.
The mustache, the curly hair, the effeminate voice - it was him!
ha ha
I'm guessing he slammed their "Bigger and Better" movie,
so the South Park boys got their revenge this way.
It couldn't happen to a more deserving prick than Medved, either.
Medved is one of those lying whores who, when someone screws
up
looks behind the culprit's name to search for the "D" or "R,"
to see if the guy's guilty or not.
Michael, you big pussy!
If you think I'm saying anything that's not true -
sue me!
I'll make you more famous than you are.
But you can't, you cowardly, snot-nosed hypocrite!

Texas GOP is so wacky even Smirk
is scared away
BY BOB HERBERT
GOV. George W. Bush chose to stay away from the
state convention
of the Texas Republican Party last week. If you
were trying to sell yourself
to American voters as a sane, moderately conservative
candidate for president,
you'd have stayed away, too.
The rest of the nation is not nearly ready for
the zany extremism of the Republican
Party in Bush's home state. The convention was
held in Houston, and here are just
a few of the items in the platform adopted by
the delegates:
--The income tax and the Internal Revenue Service should be abolished.
--All minimum wage laws should be repealed.
--The Social Security system should be phased out entirely.
--All U.S. participation in the United Nations should come to an end.
-- The North American Free Trade Agreement should
be repealed and
the United States should withdraw
from the World Trade Organization.
-- The federal monetary system should return to the gold standard.
They're serious. The hard right rides at a gallop in Texas.
Another item in the platform declared that ``homosexual
behavior is contrary
to the fundamental unchanging truths that
have been ordained by God.''
Governor Bush's wife, Pickles, spoke at the convention,
and Bush told
the delegates, in a videotaped statement: ``I
really don't like missing my
first Texas state Republican convention since
1990.''
(Ediotr's Note: Lying bastard. You could've been there if you'd wanted
to,
but you know your party is too goddamn insane to be seen with.)
The Texas Republican who is running for president
ran as far from the weirdness
of his own party's convention as he could get.

Lazio’s Stock Deal Smells Like
D’Amato’s
by Joe Conason
Without any primary contests to preoccupy the would-be heirs of Daniel
Patrick
Moynihan, the New York Senate race already is approaching autumnal
levels of
partisan acrimony in the first weeks of summer. Although both
Hillary and Rick
Lazio are battering each other over policy issues for the moment, the
"character issue,"
that great favorite of the political press corps, appears due for an
imminent revival.
And despite the perennial presumption of guilt that has colored so much
media
coverage of Mrs. Clinton since 1992, she won’t be alone in defending
her
personal integrity this campaign year.
Mr. Lazio flagged his own potential vulnerability when he told Observer
reporters
Josh Benson and Greg Sargent that he holds Alfonse D’Amato as a role
model.
While he was no doubt referring to the former senator’s reputation
for constituent service,
that isn’t necessarily the first description that comes to mind when
Mr. D’Amato’s name is
mentioned. As Mr.Lazio’s financial dealings, campaign contributions
and official conduct come
under increasingly close scrutiny, Republicans are rediscovering the
chief drawback in nominating
a senatorial candidate reared in the dubious political culture of the
G.O.P. machine on Long Island.
Meanwhile, however, just in case any voters have forgotten the dog-eared
litany of
accusations against the First Lady, a lengthy recapitulation was provided
in The New
York Times on June 19 by Neil A. Lewis of the paper’s Washington bureau.
(Let it
be duly noted that several weeks ago Mr. Lewis trashed The Hunting
of the
President, a book I co-authored with Gene Lyons, in the paper’s book
review
section.) The occasion for Mr. Lewis’ piece was a forthcoming report
from the
Office of Independent Counsel concerning the so-called Travelgate affair,
which has
been under investigation by prosecutors for more than four years. Mr.
Lewis moved
swiftly past the near-certainty that the O.I.C. will clear Mrs. Clinton,
and everybody
else implicated in that fiasco, of any criminal wrongdoing. More important
than her
impending exoneration are the "old questions" that continue to injure
her reputation.
Unsurprisingly, his summary emphasized information that would tend to
encourage
suspicions about Mrs. Clinton, while slighting or wholly ignoring exculpatory
facts.
For example, in recounting yet again the moldy dispute over how her
law firm came
to represent Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan, Mr. Lewis strains
to contradict her
testimony with statements by her former associate Richard Massey. This
was never
a matter of grave importance, as it involves events that took place
in 1985. Although
Mr. Massey’s recollections 11 years later varied slightly from Mrs.
Clinton’s, he
confirmed the broad outlines of her account. That was the conclusion
of the
12-volume report on Whitewater and related matters prepared for the
Resolution
Trust Corporation by the law firm of Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro–-which
Mr. Lewis
doesn’t even mention. The Pillsbury report might have helped him better
understand those infamous Rose Law Firm billing records. He claims
those records
show that, contrary to her previous testimony, Mrs. Clinton worked
on an allegedly
fraudulent development known as "Castle Grande." Yet the actual documents
prove
that, precisely as she had testified, the project she briefly assisted
was known not as
Castle Grande but as the "Industrial Development Corporation" (which
Mr. Lewis
inaccurately identifies as the "International Development Corporation").
Still more sweeping was the overall assessment reached by the Pillsbury
firm’s
investigators. Based on the billing records and thousands of other
documents, the
President and Mrs. Clinton are innocent. The "theories that tie [her
legal work] to
wrongdoing ... are strained at best," they wrote. It is hard to see
how a fair
summary of these stale controversies could disregard the Pillsbury
report’s heavily
documented conclusions. But nobody cares any more about the details
of
Whitewater, the Travel Office firings, the F.B.I. files matter or the
small fortune
that Mrs. Clinton reaped in the commodities market more than 20 years
ago, do
they? No, because the details are convoluted and unsexy. Yet an unfair
impression
of dishonesty lingers long after the facts have been forgotten.
Perhaps the Times editors felt this Clinton scandal rehash, however
slanted and
incomplete, was needed to balance the paper’s recent coverage of Mr.
Lazio’s
lucrative stock plays, which smell a bit like an inside deal provided
to Mr. D’Amato
by a Long Island brokerage several years ago. The Times account of
Mr. Lazio’s
trading noted in passing that, unlike Mrs. Clinton and many other candidates
for
public office in both parties, he has refused to release his income
tax returns.
It will be interesting to see whether the Times editorial board, which
has examined
Mrs. Clinton’s finances with such zeal, demands full disclosure from
her opponent, too.
Some Outrage
The first time didn't take
Battery Night at Shae Stadium
The Republican's favorite baseball player, John Rocker, is in
New York
next weekend to receive a few thousand batteries from the kind
folks there.
Like an idiot, Rocker said next weekend, he's going to take the
#7 Train
he made famous to prove to the New Yorkers that he can take the
heat.
I have a question:
Let's say he gets on the train OK, but is spotted by some brothers
who
know how he feels about blacks and minorities, and let's say
Rocker assumes
room temperature before the train reaches the end of the line.
Would the Republicans want the black youths charged with a "hate crime?"
They're always saying there's "no such thing," and that it's "just
murder,"
but wouldn't they want to make an exception for their hero?
Mets fans: Watch the closing
doors, John
By LUKAS I. ALPERT Associated Press
Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Riders on the No. 7 train Wednesday offered a bit of
advice to loudmouth lefty John Rocker, who intends to ride the subway
next week:
Watch the closing doors, John. Watch 'em ve-r-r-r-y carefully.
"Yeah, let him ride,'' said Wendy Strauss as she rode the No. 7 train
to play
tennis at the Arthur Ashe Tennis Center, directly across from Shea
Stadium.
"Good luck to him. He'll definitely be hassled.''
Robert Illa, standing at the Shea Stadium stop Wednesday morning, wondered
if the pitcher's promise to ride the line -- the one that he vilified
in an interview
with Sports Illustrated -- was just bravado. Rocker and the Atlanta
Braves
come to New York on June 29 to face the Mets.
"I don't think he has the guts to get on this train,'' Illa said. ``This
isn't Atlanta.
He may be able to pull this stuff down south, but this is New York.''
"I'm taking it to Shea Stadium,'' said Mets fans' public enemy No. 1.
"I won't be in a cab. I won't be on the bus. I'll be on that train.''
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said he hopes Rocker reconsiders his idea to ride the subway.
"We're asking the Atlanta Braves to not let this happen,'' Giuliani told WFAN radio.
Giuliani said he expects a ``tremendous'' police presence for Rocker,
estimating 450-500 officers working in connection with the visit.
But Rudy, are these the same Central Park cops that do nothing while
women
are being attacked? It figures they'd jump in to help a
big bruiser of a lout.
Promise me,
no matter what
no matter how bad it gets,
you will not feel sorry for Smirk.
Promise?
The plan is to destroy Smirk beyond all recognition,
and then the Democrats will talk truce with
the Cro-Mags.
We're going to destroy Smirk as pure payback for
Clinton.
He's fucking smoke.
DNA doesn't link Blair

DA discounts test's significance
© 2000, The Dallas Morning Whore
A new round of DNA testing has called into question
a second piece of
physical evidence that condemned Michael Blair
to death row nearly six
years ago for the abduction and murder of Ashley
Estell.
Results of independent genetic tests filed Tuesday
in a federal court in
Midland indicate that a hair found on the floorboard
of Mr. Blair's car
"could not have originated from
Ashley Estell,
Michael Blair or any of their maternal
relatives."

Wanna buy a Vette?
Here, I got one for you.
We haven't heard much about the word "vette" as in, "he's been

ha ha
This is so good.
"Vetted" means you've been able to put-to-rest every bullshit
story that has
ever surfaced against you and your family and it's no longer
a problem.
Between Gore and Smirk, who do you think has been "vetted?"
ha ha
Smirk is the billy goat that ate the dynamite on the Andy Griffith show.
I have an example for you.
You know the Gore handlers are at least 50 times smarter than
Ol' BartCop,
and I thought of a question that might be effective if asked
at the right time.
Let's say the race is a tight one!
We're three weeks away from the election and it's the final debate.
Gore won the first debate, somehow Smirk won the second, and
everyone
knows the White House will probably go to the winner of the final
debate.
It's the rubber match and we're almost out of time.
It's a 90-minute slugfest for the most powerful position on the
planet.
There's only a few minutes left, and they get to ask each other
a question.
Smirk scores a sharp jab about Gore's real role
in the novel, Love Story.
Al has one last shot at winning this debate, so he asks Smirk,
"Governor, .....how do you think your father handled Ruby Ridge?"
Smirk: ....Uh....
ha ha
What's he going to say?
I guarantee you, Smirk's standard answer for that question is,
"I don't dwell in the past. My vision is for America's future,
yada yada yada,"
and that'll work on the no-brain whores of the press but not
in the final debate.
Smirk in the hot seat!
ha ha
I think that's a goddamn show-stopper.
So think of the better, more intelligent traps Gore has ready
for him.
Gore is bringing a gun to Smirk's knife fight.

And what possible trap could Cotton Candy spring on Gore?

in 1977.
I always thought Reagan was like Ronald McDonald - a decent spokesman,
but not the guy you'd want to talk to if you got a bad cheeseburger.

In Defense of Parents.
by Cliff Downing
Is it just me or is there nothing wrong
with giving money to people when
their only disability is that they are
too fat? In the mean time we have parents
that are being driven away from their children
because for one reason or
another they don't have the money to pay
Child Support and Taxes and have
anything left over to pay an attorney so
they can access the court system.
(We'll get into the "all the justice you
can afford to buy" argument later.)
These individuals are forced into poverty
because our elected officials do not
want to give tax breaks to help non-custodial
parents or parents whose children
do not live with them because of divorce
or other situations. Popular sentiment
and the Media have unfairly characterized
these people as "Dead Beats."
Not once has it ever been mentioned that
many single people, not just parents,
have a hard time financially. In this day
and age it is almost impossible for a
single person or one income household to
"get ahead" financially. When we look
around we normally only see the financial
area of a persons life improve when they
get married. This is because in most families
the husband and wife both work.
This TWO income arrangement is not only
given tax breaks but also has the
immediate effect of nearly doubling the
purchasing power of the household.
However, under the current tax structures
single parents that pay child support
are not only unmercifully penalized with
huge child support payments by the courts.
(I know of a case where an individual was
left with only $100.00 per month to
live on after the child support payments
and BEFORE taxes.) They are then taxed
unmercifully by our current tax structure
because they are single.
In fact, many of the single parents I know
of that pay child support eventually end up
so financially destitute that they are
forced to move back in with THEIR parents.
(Please do not confuse this with the group
of "Dead Beats"
who never actually leave their parents
house in the first place.)
One solution would be special tax exemptions
or INCENTIVES for single parents
or SINGLE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS that are required
under court order to pay
child support. This tax "break" would actually
have two benefits:
It would provide some well needed relief
for non-custodial parents. It would reward
rather than punish all those "Dead Beat
Parents" for paying their child support.
Think about it. We are purposely making
in more difficult for a group of parents to
support their children and at the same
time we are giving food stamps to people
whose only disability is that they are
too fat. In the meantime the only people that
stand to loose anything are all the fat
cats in Washington that are waiting to spend
the tax dollars that are collected. In
all honesty the savings in the cost of prosecuting
these "Dead Beats" in court would probably
more than offset any drop in tax revenues.

Can Bush Afford to Sign
This Death Warrant?
Weeks after granting death row inmate Ricky McGinn a reprieve,
the Texas
governor finds himself face-to-face with another questionable
execution
This pesky death penalty thing just won't go away.
Gov Smirk, who has presided unflinchingly over 131 executions
during his tenure,
is in the spotlight again as the legal murder of Gary Graham
looms ever closer.
Graham will die Thursday unless Smirk recommends a reprieve.
Graham's imminent death, hard on the heels of Ricky McGinn's reprieve,
could be far more damning to Smirk than McGinn's execution.
So what's a staunch defender of the death penalty like Bush to
do?
Any move he chooses will be risky. "If he grants Graham a stay,
he'll look
very political in eyes of death penalty supporters," says TIME's
Jay Carney.
"Here's this governor who's signed off on 131 executions, without
looking back,
and in three weeks, he's considered two cases for leniency?"
On the other hand, if Texas executes Graham, and he is exonerated
posthumously,
Bush's reputation as a glib executioner could achieve its full
bloom.
ha ha
Squirm, Smirk, squirm!
Give us a preview of how strong President Smirk will be!
ha ha
He's gotta ice this guy, he has no choice.
If he doesn't, if he postpones the execution,
he'll be sued by the families of previous fryers.

Lax Los Alamos Security Tied to 1992 Bush Measures
by Tamara Baker
Monday, June 19, 2000 -- SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA
-- Gentle Reader, it's happened again.
No sooner do I whip out a quick column for Ampol and send it off, than
I
get an e-mail with information that would have been absolutely perfect
for that particular column.
Today's instance concerns the FauxGate surrounding the Los Alamos hard
drives, which once were lost but now are found.
It seems, according to a June 16, 2000 article in the Alberquerque
Journal by Ian Hoffman, that the penny-wise and pound-foolish budget
cuts of the Bush Administration are what made the misplacing of the
drives possible in the first place:
No one in the federal government had to do more than LANL did
because no checkout sheets, no tracking or inventories have
been required for information classified as secret since May 1992.
The reason: too many secrets. Defense contractors balked at the
time and expense of bar-coding and tracking every classified
document from creation to destruction. The Bush administration
agreed and rolled back the rules.
"They said this is such an extraordinary amount of effort,"
explained the Federation of American Scientists' Steve Aftergood,
head of the Project on Government Secrecy and a leading proponent
for limiting classification to the truly valuable secrets,
then protecting those well. "Given the expanding volume of secret
level material, it was almost an inevitable decision."
Tracking and inventory bar codes were first dropped in February
1991 for non-nuclear weapons data that were classified
secret, then in May 1992 for all data classified as secret.
Only information classified as top secret - the small amount of
nuclear weapons data with the highest classification - remained
bar-coded and inventoried.
I strongly suspect that, as word of this travels around, this particular
FauxGate will be put out of our misery pretty darned soon.
Meanwhile, the GOP is still refusing to give Los Alamos the money it
needs to do its job.
As Paul Begala has pointed out in a recent column, Secretary of Energy
Bill Richardson (who, by the way, is Gore's lead pick for Vice
President
-- which is the main reason the Republicans want to bludgeon his agency,
using DriveGate as the tire iron) asked for $65 million to improve
security.
The Republican Congress only gave him $11 million.
To quote Begala directly: "It's like ordering someone to paint a fence
that requires seven buckets of paint, then griping when he can't get
the
job done -- even though you only gave him one bucket of paint."
But this is how the Republicans deal with government in general. One
of
my nearest-and-dearest works for the Social Security Administration.
My
N-&-D tells me that the GOP Congress has for years now been using
some
not-so-subtle attempts to wreck SSA, so they can keep claiming that
the
system is broken beyond repair -- so why don't we just turn over the
Social Security trust fund to the GOP's big brokerage-firm donor buddies,
eh?
This is why we need to boot the GOP out of the driver's seat this November.

Do you understand how stupid your accusations sound?
He lied about Lewinsky, he's had every single sexual assault accuser audited,
There was one step-into-the-spotlight claimant, who owns her
own business.
It's not unusual for the self-employeed with many questionable deductions
to be audited over the course of 20-30 years.
he loves taking credit for that which he was not responsible,
Too stupid for a response.
he uses government agencies (HUD, DOJ) to attack
perfecly legal
businesses (read: fascism).
Objection: assumes facts not in evidence.
(read: hosejob)
He attacks those Americans whom hold memberships
in perfectly legitimate organizations (read:
NRA).
Attacks? How? Verbally?
I don't even want to get into the executive orders he's provided.
ha ha
The fact that he's had such a cloak of scandals
over his administration
does not fair him well either, no matter what
their validity.
ha ha
Make him stop!
Invalid accusations are bad?
So stop making them!
I don't agree with a lot of his politics or policies,
but that's neither here nor there
because we can argue all day long about that.
Pretty much, he's a meglomaniac...
Compared to whom?
List for me, if you would, the Republicans who have run for president
in our lifetime
who never wanted any personal glory, who just wanted to make America
better
for the children, who didn't have a big ego, who just wanted the chance
to serve.
Go ahead, we'd all love to see that list.
Hillary is worse.
She's tried to put a socialist stamp on this
government, and it's fortunately failed.
And it's completely obvious that she's only
working in her best interest running for NY senate.
How do you think you can get away with that?
I could say, "Pickles Smirk is OBVIOUSLY only
out for personal glory,"
but would that wildly inaccurate statement prove
anything?
How does your side gain a goddamn thing if you
throw rocks at Hillary?
Since this is America, why don't you let the
people of New York decide
if they want Hillary to represent them? Got
something against democracy?
Why not Arkansas? Why not Illinois?
ha ha
Why not a duck?
Honestly, explain to me why you think she's running for the NY senate seat.
Santa Inthemorning
If she's committing the worst crime in history, why not arrest her?
What?
What she's doing is legal?
How can that be?
Truth is, New York is too small for Hillary.
She has experience at representing the United States, not some piddly-ass
little corner of the country, but it's the closest fit she could find.
Santa, answer two questions for me, honestly.
1. What was your hobby before it was Clinton's Cock?
2. Do you own a rifle with a scope?

Don't know if this report has made the US press

Health Organisation has just released a report
ranking the various
health care systems of the world.

Here are some higlights from the table:

Of course, this doesn't show that anything is
wrong with healthcare
in the US, and you'd be a fool and a communist
to say so...
Nick
Nick, thanks for that.
Yes, it's a shame our health care is such a pitiful, political mess.
Bill and Hillary tried to fix it, like they fixed our economy, but
the GOP said,
"That's 1/7th of the economy. It's too big to fix. It's too
biiiiiiiig!"
They said we'd all lose our choice of doctors, but we don't have that
now.
They used scare tactics and people reacted with fear.
The very worst ones were the pussified democrats who ran like rats
and refused
to stand with their president. Years later, Clinton is still on top
and those
Benedict Arnold's (Sorry about that, Nick) are nowhere to be found.
So, we kept the old, broken system where a single aspirin costs $90
and a simple broken hand can cost $15,000, and we remain behind places
like Chile and Costa fucking Rica in health care, and
just barely ahead
of under-funded hellholes like comminist Cuba.
We deserve it.
We're a nation of cowards.

Now, we all KNOW that there is no such thing as a right-wing conspiracy.
But isn't the timing of the oil company price-gouging just a little
too
convenient for ol' George W. Bush? Not ONLY do these companies
stand to
make record profits for the year 2000, but it also gives the Republicans
a
little extra ammo to throw at Al Gore. Funny how the states where
the gas
prices are at the highest in the country are the states which Bush
needs
most desperately to win, but has the lowest chances of doing so:
Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin. Thats a lot of electoral votes.
So what are the chances there was a little deal under the table?
Anybody
think it remotely possible that somebody like George W. Bush (who is
from,
um, which state again?) might be able to push a few pieces of legislation
that
are VERY beneficial to his Houston buddies in the dead dinosaur business?
