U2 with Britney and Justin?
Well, I'm not sure they're going to really have Britney and Justin,
but U2 is doing a halftime show
of one of the basketball playoff games, but they didn't say which
one, the NBC whores.
BTW,
U2 concert review of their Albany show, from the alt.music.u2
newsgroup:
Other Notes: Bono mentioned being
in the States when John Lennon was killed,
They showed a video of Charlton Heston
talking about guns. Of course at this point
the dullards in my section seemed to be
CHEERING for what Charlton said rather than
getting the real jist of the anti firearm
statement. Perhaps the the video image of the little girl
picking up her parent's gun was supposed
to provoke some thought for the imbeciles who
didn't get the irony of the statement the
first time. In that regard Bono did seem to be more
political than the last two tours, talking
about aids in Africa and 3rd world debt.
All in all well worth the price of admission
and a great performance.
U2 might be Wednesday, if anyone knows for sure, lemme know.
The latest Pearl Harbor complaint
"There weren't enough Hawaiians in the movie."
That's what Pigboy was squealing today.
Of course, he hasn't seen the movie.
Since he's one of the most hated people in America, he can't
leave his house
because, as he put it, "There's no telling
who you might run into."
You mean like the American public, Rush?
This complaint is just about as valid as the others.
The reason there weren't any/many Hawaiians in the film is because
...it was a story about what happened at the Naval base.
If this was a story about a Honolulu cigar store that was bombed
by Japan,
we would've expected to see some Hawaiian customers in his store,
right?
And we would've expoected to see Mr. Hamalagamanagama behind
the counter.
But nooooooooooooo.
This was a story about military personnel, so there wouldn't be
many civilians walking around
a Navy base on a Sunday morning, now would there? Hawaii
surely wasn't one percent of
America's population back then, but according to Rush and the
hate-Pearl-Harbor crowd,
there should've been Hawaiians crawling all over the USS Arizona.
Why is there a built-in hatred for this movie?
Why are they picking on things like the number of Hawaiians
scene in the film,
or the claim they make that the lipstick the women wore made
them look "whorish."
Y'know, there are dozens of celebrity pictures in the BartCop
collection, including
hundreds of stars of the forties - and they're all in black
and white.
Here's a picture of Audrey Hepburn from the 40's.
As dark as that lipstick looks, I'll bet it's cherry red.
Does that mean Audrey Hepburn wore makeup to look like a whore?
Can today's film critics be so stupid that they don't realize
that?
Uh Oh, I just realized something...
I didn't get everyone's permission to have an opinion on
Pearl Harbor.
I better watch my ass.

Subject: Las Vegas?
Is there to be a Bartcop Party in Vegas ?
h, beaudreau
My best guess is yes, but what does that mean?
It seems so egocentric, but I'd like to kick around the idea of why
anybody would want to meet me.
If you (or anybody) did, your first thought would be, "That's him?"
Then what?
Again, ...I realize I'm not Robin Williams, but I just read a TV Guide
account of
a TV interview with Robin to be showed this week. They said he was
fantastic
to meet.
He did all his funny voices and characters and told his wild &
wacky stories and
he was the most entertaining SOB you could ever ask for.
But if you met me, I'd be quiet and polite and boring and all that money
you spent to get to
"The Great BartCop Vegas Tequilafest" would turn out to be the
biggest letdown you could imagine.
...and reading your account of it on the BartCop Forum when you
got home
(shudder) is enough to make me want to locate a bridge to jump
off of.
On the other hand, if 50-60 people wanted to go, maybe we could get
a price break
on a floor of rooms, but what are the odds of that happening?
Sidebar:
But how cool would that be?
If we had one wing of one floor of some fine
casino.
It would be "our" casino for a few days -ha

C'mon with my $600, Smirk.
I'll bet the Hard Rock might do it.
Great rooms on non-peak days for $40 if we buy
40 for three nights?
We make them an offer they can't refuse.
ha ha
The only thing I'd even see as a possible would be meeting at
Taqueria
Cononita
That might result in a temporary but severe chemical imbalance for all involved.
A priority for me is not to promise anything until we know something.
If I say it's true it is, but nothing's true yet.
For right now, let's not rule anything in or out.
(Rich will kill me if this happens!)
We haven't picked a date yet - that's the most important thing.
We might have a date this week, we'll see.
If Vegas, you don't party under a Full moon, you party under a New
moon to
watch the Aurora aircraft with the Roswell package go zoom, zoom,
zoom. at night.

A non-religious person like myself gets pretty
damn excited when my eyes

That first trip to Area 51 will stick in my head
like Fleming, the penicillin guy.
That'll be great to see if it happens.
That'd be cool, ...a whole bunch of Democrats outside Area 51 watching
the planes we won't see
in the daylight for years (or until Smirk bungles up a war for us)
flying around and doing tricks.
Sidebar:
Is Area 51 still there?
It takes 2.5 hours to get there, so you ruin
almost a whole Vegas night if it's for naught.
I heard rumors they moved it to eastern Utah
- anybody know?
So, for now, let's just keep it as an idea, but who knows?
Our own wing would be pretty cool...
I'm not doing this to brag.
I'm trying to make a point.
I said I didn't know how to do that screen grab thing.
You see, I was pressing Ctrl, instead of Alt.
Now that I can make it work, here's my mail box at home.
That number on the left is 9467 unread messages, that take
up 38 meg of room.
I don't know what the other 6.1 meg means.
I have another 5300 unread e-mails on my work computer,
and more on CAL's private line.
..and yes, if I was smart, I could fake that, but I'm not and I didn't.
So after you convince yourself that I ignored your mail,
consider the possibility that I missed it, OK?

Subject: The Tequila Twins
I say this about the Jenna and Barbara Bush incident:
Chuy's Restaurant has some great food.
But on a more practical matter, I can't believe
the manager of the Austin branch the Bush twins
were at is getting so much grief! If someone's
breaking the law, you call the police.
I don't know off-hand the phone number to the
Harris County Sherrif's Department or the Houston
Police Department. I'd probably call 911
since that would be the best way to contact the authorities.
The people doing this are ignoring the fact that
A) one was drinking under age,
B) the other has a history of alcohol violations
now,
C) the other was pretending to be someone else
in order to get alcohol, and
D) if they are going to give Clinton a hard time
about he and his family supposedly having to
"set a moral example for the
country" then we should be dishing the same stuff at the Bushes.
Also, I used to think you had to be smart in order

Casey Martin has no room to complain.

Hey, even bars in Harlem have 'em! Billiard

to change the rules. Wheel his ass over to a

It isn't like he's FORCED to play golf.
Damn, it's like every Republican seems limited

The irony is that Casey WANTS equality upon a
golf course?
Uhh, is he like STUPID or something...on second thought, nevermind.
He can still kiss my ass though.

They
All Do It: Same old, same old in Washington
The more things change in Washington, the more familiar some
sleazy things seem.
Item: A nominee for high office--in this case
solicitor general--testifies vaguely about having had nothing to do
with a controversial piece of muckraking journalism, namely the American
Spectator's Arkansas Project.
But the nominee has to revise his testimony as facts out.
No, this isn't Bill Clinton lying for months on end and finally admitting, as he leaves office, that his sworn testimony was false, too. This is Ted Olson giving some all-too-vague testimony when he should have been just telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but. Wasn't this administration supposed to be different? Wasn't one of the reasons George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were elected was to put all these little games with the truth behind us?
Item: The vice president of the United States
holds a reception for big givers at his official residence and government
property. No, that isn't a news item from 1996, but from just the other
day.
Al Gore would try to explain away his sleazy fund-raising
by citing No Controlling Legal Authority. And now Dick Cheney's official
explainers explain that the fund-raiser at his residence was no fund-raiser--because
the guests had already given. They were being rewarded rather than solicited,
and that's supposed to make all the difference. Maybe it does, but only
technically. The spirit of such enterprises is the rotten same.
And they come with the same familiar whiff.
To quote the irrepressible Michael Kelly on this
page the other day: "Originality is hard to come by, but it would be
nice if Bush-Cheney mouthpieces could come up with an excuse that was
not precisely identical to the one used by Clinton-Gore mouthpieces."
This administration's little games--with the truth and with the rules--only
reinforce the ultimate, degrading Clinton-Gore defense for the politics
of sleaze: They All Do It.
Damn, I missed this
EX-CLINTON STAFFERS TO FLEISCHER: PROVE IT!
"I don't have to prove anything."

White
House Takes Soft Line on OPEC
Americans don't mind dying for Saudi and Kuwaiti royalty?
Excerpt:
The Bush administration, at least publicly,
has absolved OPEC of any role in
pushing up fuel prices and instead blamed
a limited refining capacity at home.
Unlike the Clinton team, which interrupted
OPEC meetings and infuriated its
members with cell phone calls demanding
action, the Bush White House has opted
for a gentler approach to its key oil-rich
allies, particularly the Persian Gulf states.
If I was president, I'd tell Saudi Arabia and Kuwait that we want
the same amount
of oil at the same prices as post-Desert Storm or the next time
they need help
they can call the goddamn tooth fairy to give them back their
land.
Sidebar:
You know the Bush family has exclusive
drilling rights in Kuwait, right?
I doin't know the details, but after the
war, the Bush family snuck in there
and got some exclusive on something, and
now they're making so much money
they could afford to buy the White House
for Jeb in 2008.
Who has the details on this Bush Family
Bonanza, paid for with American blood?
We lost over 200 men in Desert Storm.
And for that we get what?
The right to beg OPEC for cheaper oil?
That wouldn't be the case under President BartCop.
But that's what we have with President Weak, Stupid and Greedy.

Republican Responds To Jenna Bush's Arrest

Mentioning Bill Clinton's Penis!
from the always great Betty Bowers
Looking for a Volunteer or two
I have another idea. (Uh-oh)
This is an idea about a hueueueuge five-year project.
Starting December 7, (or sooner, if you want) wouldn't it be educational
for someone to take us through World War II, a day at a time?
Between now & then, you could give us some background on what
led
to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the rise of Hitler.
Each day, you could do a paragraph, or a link, or nothing if it
was a slow day,
and it would end, I suppose, in mid-August of 2005.
Sound like a big project?
Sure, but there's probably a lot of this already on the net.
Maybe all you'd need
to do is change the links each day - might take just five minutes.
On the other hand, if you're a frustrated history professor who
always wanted to teach
a class on this subject, now's your chance. Of course,
as the histrographer (homage to Smirk)
you'd be free to comment on things that need clarification or
explanation.
Example: A year from today, June 4, 2002, you'd tell us about the Battle of Midway.
Three years from today, you could link us to a Omaha Beach in Normandy page.
Somewhere on the www, there's a collection of letters home from
the war.
Linking to those in chronological order might be helpful.
I think everyone could use a few more facts about World War II.

After she got drunk suppose she then got into

I identified myself as a fan of yours, gave reasonable answers

You prefer to carefully pick and choose which

You even have nerve enough to follow them with
"ha ha", as if you actually have proven yourself right.

Some blanket authorization that anything you send will get printed?
Or my guarantee that no letter will ever be edited for length or clarity?
