Ask BartCop

Subject: Ellen and Anne
Bartcop:
I don't see the Ellen and Anne as a breakup
of lesbians. I see it as a
breakup of a lesbian and a gold digger.
Anne reminds me of a "trophy wife."
She looks like the type of women you see
down at the yacht club. You know, a
gorgeous 28 year old blonde, dripping in
diamonds and gold, hanging on the
arm of a 65 year old goat who just happens
to be worth millions.
If I remember correctly, Ellen and Anne
got together just as Ellen hit it
big. Before, Anne was straight. When she
saw Ellen's money, she found out
she was gay.
Or am I too cynical?

Babbitt Inquiry Report Released
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The special
prosecutor tasked to investigate
Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt released
her final report Tuesday,
explaining why she had previously found
insufficient evidence to prosecute him.
The investigation stemmed from
allegations that Babbitt rejected a proposed
Indian casino because of campaign contributions
and then lied to Congress about it.
Sidebar:
Remember when that Semper
Fi traitor Ollie North lied to Congress? The GOP
justified that by saying,
"Congress is such shit, they don't deserve the truth."
That's a true story, Kay.
The report, over 600 pages long, was met
with sharp words from the
chairman of the House committee Babbitt
testified to, and relief from
Babbitt's office that the ordeal is finally
over.
Secret-bastard maker Dan Burton, (R-Watermelons),
said he was disappointed at
statements in the report that Babbitt conceded
to a grand jury that some of his statements
"either were not entirely accurate or at
least constituted 'overstatement.'''
"I am very disturbed that a cabinet official would
come before my committee and give
false testimony,'' Burton said in a statement.
ha ha
Independent Counsel Carol Elder Bruce, a
veteran prosecutor who was
assigned the case in March 1998, said in
October that she would not
seek indictments against Babbitt or anyone
else involved in the controversy.
In the report, Bruce said she found ``no
evidence."
Both Clinton Administrations are still felony-free.

Subject: lesbian quiz, all is explained!!!
Hi. I'm a lesbian. self-proclaimed.
i can't speak for everyone but i can give you
my own point of view, and maybe my experience
talking to other women about
these same issues.... apologies
if this is too long-winded....
> Let's say Ellen meets a 9, that is
a girl more butch than herself.
> Does Ellen then become the fem?
Is it all relative?
I'd have to say it's relative. everyone
sees "butch/femme" differently. i guess if you were
looking at them as an outsider you would
say "there is the butch one" but i'n not sure that
it really matters to the subjects.... i
dont' know many lesbians who go around with a calculator
planning out the dynamics of a relationship.
a lot of people i know totally disregard the
butch/femme thing as a self-identifier.
In the sense that it is not necessary to have a butch
and a femme in a relationship.
Oh!
That last sentence was important, but how
can that be?
Maybe instead of butch/femme, we should
talk dominant/submissive?
Traditional male/female relationships usually
have the man in charge.
That reckless testosterone is a motivator
and instigator, and the female
is usually the governor that holds the
testosterone in place.
I don't know Anne and Ellen, but I see Ellen
saying, "I'd like to see this movie
and eat dinner at that restaurant,
is that OK with you?"
And Anne would say, "I'd lke that movie,
but not the restaurant," so they compromise.
On Ellen's next date, if she starts picking
the movie and the restaurant, and her date
is an 8 or a 9, wouldn't that start a fight?
<snippage>
> And if that's true, how does that work?
How would you tell?
> Are signals, say, at a nightclub,
sent via dress code?
All i can say to that is, it SUCKS.
I guess if you go to gay bars, which i don't,
you can expect the women to be mostly gay,
but still straight ppl go to gay bars.
my friends always talk about getting hit
on by men at a LESBIAN bar. i dont' know.
I can never tell when a girl is gay, unless
they have some kind of rainbow logo somewhere,
Years ago, Al Pacino did a movie called
"Cruising," where the bi's would put a hanky in
the right pocket, and the gays a hanky
in the left. That's what I meant about the dress code.
Maybe things have come a long way since
then - that movie must be 20 years old.
> Likewise, if Anne (is she still gay?)
is a 4, and meets a 2,
> does she then become the one who has
to take out the trash?
Every relationship is different even for
lesbians. it would just depend on the person
and what kind of power balance they like
in a relationship.
Interesting... I see the embryo of some
humor there.
When Anne is looking for her next partner,
she'll have to factor in whether or not she'll
be the one getting up in the middle of
the night with the shotgun to check on the noise
they both heard coming from the
garage. If she picks "Sally," then Sally would be the one
getting up, being the 9, but if she decides
on "Julie," who's a 5, then Anne has to get up.
> And if she DID make the conscious choice,
would that not then bolster the GOP's
> argument that gays shouldn't adopt?
If gay behavior is learned, wouldn't the adopted
> child have a better chance with straight
parents?
I don't believe gay behavior is "learned".
If emotional/physical attraction and relating
were learned, i would be straight.
I would be living in Rat's Ass going to
community college and dating a raging alcoholic abuser
if i modeled after what i saw as a kid.
ha ha
SO. i don't believe that if someone's
parents are gay it would make any difference.....
i think it has so much more to it.
I'm saying there are no blanket statements that define
the origins of sexual orientation.
At least according to my own judgment after having
done a lot of reading, research and talking
to other gay people.
Anyway, what's so bad about being gay??
(Oh, i forgot, we're taking this country to
hell in a handbasket, and we want to teach
fisting in 3rd grade. We so evil!!)
ha ha
Must be part of the "secret gay agenda."
> If two 5's meet, is there simply no
friction? (pun intended)
> And how is no friction possible if
one 5 looks like Angie Harmon?
Again, depends on the individuals.
Every time. I dont' know of any fixed norms in the
group i hang around with. It might
be different with some who are older or in different groups,
but i can't speak for them.
As for angie harmon, that's a tough one as well....
But - would a femme "butch up" for an Angie
Harmon?
Would a butch start using lipstick for
an Angie Harmon?
The point I was trying to get to there was,
assuming other people agree that Angie Harmon is
very attractive, wouldn't 3's and 7's both
be attracted to her? It's easy to figure out with straights,
because all men are pigs. Most men would
do anything for a woman like that. My first boss in
the finance busines, Danny Ray McCown,
used to say, "BartCop, see that blonde in the red dress?
I'd ride a garbage truck in Tyler, Texas
for 50 years for one night with her."
Trust me, most straight men think like that.
That's why a president would risk everything
for
a little tongue action.
Sometime i'll send in this funny story i
got from a brochure of the Rush Limbaugh tour of
Cape Girardeau. Apparently you can
tour around to see where rush plunked his nazi ass
all over Cape. I'll have to find
that thing. It's hilarious.

Sounds good.

The whole phenomenon would be injured

Survivor Fever
From: (Withheld)
Last spring, one or two months before CBS's
Survivor
premiered, I was
watching an NBC Dateline broadcast at 2:00
am on a Monday morning (part of
NBC's All-Night broadcast.) It concerned
the winner of the Survivor contest,
and some controversy involving his personal
life. No, it had nothing to do with his
sexual orientation, but if I recall, he
was from a New England coastal town.
It was definitely not Rudy--of him, I would
have remembered...the winner, therefore,
I "predict" will be Richard. Look,
I could be totally wrong about this, what with
NBC apparently in collusion with CBS and
everyone else in withholding the identity of
the lone "survivor." And I am getting a
bit old, but I don't think my memory's gone
THAT bad. I'm wondering if any other
Bartcop fans recall that Dateline broadcast...
P.S.--Please don't publish my e-mail address.
Thanks. And I've been
digging your RL-LNW/Bartcop page since
discovering it via Yahoo in 1997.

Do you think Eminem will live to see 2001?
Don't you get the feeling he's one bad
day from checking out?
He's in the news again today.
His wife filed for divorce, which will
probably save her life, and she has said
in court papers that he's, "a nut." and
should not be allowed to have visitation
with their daughter because of his "ongoing
antics."
And he's a gun nut.
Sure, I carry a gun, but you don't see my
name in the paper ever week
because I pistol-whipped some dude while
my bodyguards held him.
Oh, yeah, his mother has filed a second
suit against him, based on
comments he made to the press about the
original, $10,000,000 suit
she filed last year - and then, of course,
there's the drugs.
This guy has "Tupac" written all over him.
I've never lost a wife, mother and daughter
all at one time,

If you have debt, credit or alcohol problems, that may not be

What else do I need to cover...?

I said I wasn't going to watch Survivor tonight, but I'm going
to straddle and
flip-flop on that topic and reverse my course with a totally
new direction.
This Survivor deal is probably going to be a big thing.
In the TV Guide, it says they start with two stabs-in-the-back,
which includes some
old-fasioned 
leaving
two, then the last seven losers put
the final two under cross-examination, using "tribal justice,"
(ha ha - I'd like some of that!)
then closing arguments and then the big vote, followed a by an
hour of drinks
with - this can't be right - with Bryant Gumble?
I won't admit to watching it, I know who Rudy and naked Rich are,
but when people talk about it I can't buy a clue. But Mrs. BartCop
watches,
and she's picking Rudy to walk away with the million dollars.
I don't guess this will get Super Bowl ratings, but it gets 28,000,000
people now,
(Regis only gets 21,000,000) and if anyone ever watched any
episode,
they'll be watching tonight, right?
And don't we owe CBS for putting something on during the summer?
(Yeah, like our eternal gratitude...)
So if you watch it tonight, maybe something funny will happen
and we can talk
about it Thursday, but don't write afterwards and say, "I knew
XXX was going to win..."
