 Katherine Harris, the controversial secretary of state of Florida and a co-chair of  BOGUS POTUS Smirk,
 is being considered for the post of the president's special envoy for the Americas, according to sources
 in the White House and in both Republican and Democratic circles.

 News Corp. Closes Online Division
    -- AP,   Jan. 4, 2001

NEW YORK -- News Corp., the cock-hunting media empire controlled by Rupert Murdoch,
is shutting down its online division and eliminating more than 200 jobs to conserve badly needed cash.

The company said in a statement released late Thursday that it would transfer the production of three
major Web sites back to the networks they are associated with - Fox Broadcasting Company,
Fox Sports Television Group, and Fox News Channel.

Company spokesman Andrew Butcher told AP, "Without Clinton's cock, we're out of business."
Butcher said the move would save the company "tens of millions" of dollars, but he declined to be more specific.

News Digital Media was formed in 1997 with the ambitious goal of taking down an elected president
while spinning the stupidest man in Texas into the White House.

Subject: be realistic

Bartcop,

       I stumbled upon your site for the first time today and read several of
your issues.  I agree with you on many of your points, but if you are honest
with yourself you will have to admit that you are the left-wing equivalent of
Rush Limbaugh mixed with some alcohol and profanity.  I concede that many of
your questionable tactics, such as constantly referring to people by a derisive
nickname, are for humor value, but nevertheless you still seem to display a
closed-mindedness about politics that equals that of the people you insult.

Arthur, my bombast isn't real.
I don't think I'm God.
I want to have a good time at their expense.
Yes, I use their tactics against them, and sometimes it's ugly.

Sometimes, when I catch them making stuff up, I counter by making stuff up
to demonstrate what happens when you lose track of the facts.

Why does it seem that all who disagree with you are instantly idiots, crooks, or assholes?

You noticed it, too?
ha ha
Actually, my complaint is with people who hold very strong opinions but can't answer
even the most simple questions. If people can't defend themselves, they should be silent.

My conservative mother reacts in the same way to people who defend Clinton or
support the Democrats, and it is scaring me away from conservatism.

You're not alone.
A majority of voters were scared away from conservativism in the last three presidential elections.

My question is, which is more important in determining your views:
the intelligence you display by your wit or the ideologoly you display in your attacks?

Arthur C.

Hmmm, your closing question was a tough one...
(cough)
My goal is to make a better joke about Republicans than they can make about Democrats.
One thing I don't do a lot of, is brag about my intelligence.

Next time you read some  bartcop.com  have a beer or two first
and ask yourself if I'm kidding or on the level.
It's more fun that way.

 So I'm reading my local K-Drag newspaper, and I see where some guy is going
 to do time for carrying an automatic pistol that held more than 10 rounds in the clip.

 Hmmm...

 That's not a fun thing to read after years of carrying the Glock, so I checked it.
 Luckily, the "the baby" can only hold 9 bullets, so I'm OK there.
 (Those 40 cal bullets are hueueueueuge!)
 The 9mm Glock (Number One with angry, white assassins) holds 14, but it stays at home.

 You'd think the NRA would do something to let law-abiding gun owners know that in the
 ultra-liberal mecca they call Oklahoma, you're not free to carry your weapon of choice.
 But no, they're too busy crawling into bed with Jerry Falwell and chasing Clinton's cock
 to inform law-abiding gun owners of their rights.

 Reminder:
 I think this got posted, I'm never sure...

 If just 10 percent of the people who voter for Gore (5 million) joined the NRA,
 we could vote out the religio-nuts and the cock-hunters and steer their influence
 towards some common sense gun law reform that could save a bunch of lives.

 The NRA's mission statement seems to be "We hate Clinton," and it's surely been
 a great fund-raising tool for them, but they never do anything to help.
 They just raise money to purchase congressmen like Bob Barr to go after Clinton's cock.

 Now I'm going to say something here that is NOT well-thought out,
 so if it's not valid, remember why I printed this disclaimer:

 What if  bartcop.com  grew to have millions of readers?
 What if we accumulated enough power and influence to actually convince 5,000,000
 left-of-Limbaugh Americans to join the NRA and votes these bastrads like Chuck Heston out?

 Heston is a whore - that's as clear as Rocky Mountain spring water.

 Look at this picture:

 This overly-dramatic, can't act, got-religion-for-the-money has-been held this
 220-year old musket over his head and said, "Over my dead body, Mr Clinton."

 Hey, asshole!

 Nobody's fighting you on THAT weapon and you know it.

 If you were a fair man,
 if you were a decent man,
 if you were a honest man,
 you'd be holding a goddamn Tec-9 multi-clip, street-sweeper over your head.
 Yeah, the gun YOU fight to keep on the streets with your trash rhetoric.

 But nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
 A little honesty would confuse the easily-led.

 You're holding a rifle that helped make our country free, and lying to those ditto-monkeys
 about what Clinton/Gore want to do to our right to bear arms, you hateful shit.

 So I will take whatever contributions I get to, as Smirk likes to say, "Grow the hammer higher,"
 and increase the influence of common sense on the gun laws and to punch ditto-monkeyism out.
 Maybe with the right combination of outrage and humor, bartcop.com  could be a player.

    That's Reagan - with the whip.

 I just grabbed a 99 cent Chicken Sandwich from Burger King.
 (Not bad for 99 cents.)

 While waiting, I saw their menu billboard that had a small sentence that said:
 "Picture menu available."

 I think that's a pretty good idea.
 You know who could use a picture menu?

 Democratic voters in Florida.

 If they put a swastika next to pictures of Smirk and Buchanan,
 maybe those retired Jews wouldn't have cast those thousands of ballots for Nazis.

GOP Nutcase Legislator Advocates Killing Police Officers
 Washington Post, January 5, 2001

http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A20315-2001Jan4.html

NASHUA, N.H., Jan. 4 - Many people here suspect Tom Alciere won a seat in this
state's legislature by dint of a stealth campaign that slipped under the radar of Republicans
intent on voting a straight party ticket in a presidential election year. So quiet was his voice
that it was not until earlier this week that Granite Staters realized they had elected a man
who advocates killing police officers.

Their newest lawmaker has this advice: "Don't kill anything that isn't a cop."

Subject: Listen to Lincoln

If Lincoln could see his party now he would probably assassinate himself.
In his first major speech as a congressman (January 12, 1848) he said of the
President (Polk):

"...this same president gives us a long message, without showing us, that, as
to the end, he himself, has even an imaginary conception. As I have before
said, he knows not where he is. He is bewildered, confounded, and miserably
perplexed man. God grant he may be able to show, there is not something about
his conscience, more painful than all his mental perplexity!"

Lincoln's speech exposed the fraud of Polk's assertions regarding the
righteousness of the war against Mexico. Lincoln believed that the US should
act with honor and truth so that the world would be inspired by its example.
What an idealist that Lincoln was. Too bad there are no Republicans like him today.
Worse, there are no Democrats like him today who are willing to stand on principle.
Maybe some will be born out of this terrible time in our country.

    when you call that pompous and pusillanimous purveyor of poppycock a whore.
