Quotes
"I see the patriotic people are buying
flags and selling their stocks."
-- rough quote from Bill Maher.
Good point.
The super-rich have had a great time in the last ten days.
Let's say they had a million shares of stock at $20 each = $20
million.
As soon as the market opened, they sold that.
The price continues to fall, and when it falls all the way to
$10,
these same super-rich patriots buy back their million shares
for $10,
so they made ten million dollars by making two phone calls.
No wonder they wanted Bush to win the election.
War and recession have always been a buyer's market.
You can get some real "bargains" when your country is laying
off
a million workers and the fire sale prices are ridiculously
low.
They never had this kind of opportunity under Clinton.
With Clinton, the stocks kept getting more expensive.
Who can make money when stock prices are zooming upwards?
Does Colin Powell read bartcop.com?
Colin Powell told Tim Russert (R-Cheerleader) that the Bush Administration
would "release a white paper" detailing the proof we have on
bin Laden.
Can we trust Colin Powell?
Does he have the authority to promise that paper?
Will Karl Rove pull rank on Powell and deny the paper's release??

Subject: Freedom of Facial Expression
Did you hear pigboy today on Hillary's facial
expressions during President Bobbing & Weaving's speech?
For a minute, he sounded almost sane because
he said "I have no way of knowing what she was thinking",
and then he proceeded to tell us that Hillary's
dour countenance, as well as the reasons for it were,
somehow, nefarious and evil. He even suggested
that it was because she saw her chances in 2004 melting away.
Then, he proceeded to solicit email about other
Dem's facial expressions, and what THEY meant.
I'll bet he's writing to John Ashcroft right
now, asking that he set up an office to keep an eye on
people's facial expressions.
Personally, I think Hillary and any body else
with a weird expression
might just have been completely pooped.
Anne
Anne, Bingo!
I'll bet Hillary has been working 20-hour days since the 11th.
I'll also bet President Gameboy hasn't missed a scheduled nap.

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
you could stand me up at the gates of hell
but I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
and I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin' me around
but I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Do you think, when Barbara Olson's book comes out, they'll edit out
some of the more extra-hateful comments about Bill & Hillary?
Or will they let Barbara further embarrass herself - to make more money?

Subject: Hillary's reaction...
BC,
I don't know if you caught it yesterday, but at
one point the camera pointed
to Hillary (when the were all clapping), the
look on her face was priceless...
It wasn't that poppy dog look that all dems and
republicans had, it wasn't that
"we are so happy you are our pResident" look,
it was the same look that I had
watching this speech "Holy crap, listen to this
dumbass dragging us into a war,
Bill would've handled this so much better.."
I hope you caught it...

Alex, I missed it, but you did a great job of describing it :)
The bad timing award goes to a hip-hop group called Coup.
They thought a good picture for their album would be the WTC
blowing up.
Here's the picture they're not going to use on their November release.
I just saw a sickening report on Fox News.
They hid knives and "bombs" on fifteen people and had them go
thru
airport check in proceedures and only one of the 15 was discovered.
The airport was Logan, in Boston, where two of the planes were hijacked.
Whenever the security people had a problem, they erred on the
side of danger.
If they couldn't get a suspicious bag open, they said, "Screw
it - go on thru."
Two weeks from today, we hope to wake up in San Francisco.
At least that's the plan, unless we die getting there.

BREAKING NEWS from CNN.com
The Senate has passed a $15 billion relief
bill for the airline industry
struggling in the wake of the September
11 terrorist attacks.
Hey, if we're going to give them $15 billion, let's make it $15.1
billion
and have them hire some competent security people so Fox News
can't board 14 out of 15 planes with knives and bombs.
GOP Deviant Sex Report
Giordano
Says He's Not Guilty of Child Sex Charges
BRIDGEPORT, CT - Jailed Waterbury Mayor Philip
Giordano pleaded not guilty to
federal child sex charges yesterday as new details of the case
emerged.
Giordano has been held without bond since his July 26 arrest.
Prosecutors say he
conspired with a prostitute to gain access to the children —
cousins ages 9 and 11
— who are the daughter and niece of the hooker.
Two civil rights counts were added to charges against him, which
include the use
of an interstate facility to entice a minor into sex. If convicted,
the 38-year-old
married father of three could face life in prison.
The 14-count federal indictment, unsealed yesterday, reveals that
the woman arranged
for drivers to take the girls to the mayor's law office, city
hall office and home for sexual
encounters. Federal authorities learned of the alleged
sexual misconduct while investigating
allegations of municipal corruption in Waterbury.
The mayor answered with a loud "not guilty" as the charges were read
yesterday.
The mayor's co-defendant pleaded the same to a 12-count indictment
at a separate arraignment.
Giordano, a Republican serving his third two-year term, agreed last
month to surrender
the power and duties of mayor. He will retain the title until his term
expires Dec. 31.
Aiming high:
the quest for hypersonic speed
Jane's looks at the toys of ...the future? Or do
we have them right now?
Excerpt:
US defence officials believe that air-breathing
hypersonic propulsion has the potential
to revolutionise warfare by providing US
forces with the ability to take the fight to
the adversary more quickly, at greater
distances, and with greater firepower.
Missiles powered by supersonic combustion
ramjet (scramjet) engines, travelling at four to
15 times the speed of sound,
would vastly improve US capabilities against mobile targets,
hardened and deeply buried facilities and
the adversary's ability in general to deny US forces
access to a theatre of operations. Likewise,
scramjet-equipped strike aircraft based in the USA
could strike targets globally within several
hours and hypersonic transports and reconnaissance
aircraft could place any destination within
timely reach.

Subject: Barrick Gold... stock up on war news
BC,
Just saw that Barrick Gold, part of the Bush
Family Evil Empire, and the
pricks that sued The Guardian, is profiting from
this Bush war.
Despite the huge plunge in almost all sectors
of the market, the only things going up are Defense contractors
and Barrick Gold! Their stock went up 9%
today.(Friday) Why? The only reason I can figure is that they're
tight with Bush, so they stand to make out like
bandits with this sham war.
What the hell do the traders know that we don't?
They obviously know that Barrick, as a big buddy
of Bush, is going to make out like a bandit in
this "war" somehow. It all smells to high heaven!!
Bad Craziness is happening right under our noses
under the cover of "war fever" and we
better damn well snap out of it!!

Catholics are so dangerous
Excerpt:
"The 77-year-old peace activist Philip F. Berrigan
was immediately shifted into solitary confinement
at a federal penitentiary Sept. 11 when
terrorists crashed hijacked airliners into the Pentagon and
World Trade Center. Berrigan was among
a number of 'high-profile' inmates segregated from the
general population in federal prisons across
the nation, according to Internet messages received
Wednesday at Jonah House, the Roman Catholic
anti-war community that Berrigan helped found
in Baltimore nearly 30 years ago." Other
"high-profile" inmates include Leonard Peltier and Marilyn Buck.

Subject: The Impeachment Charade and the Clinton Zipper Hunt
Wonder if this thought hit you like it did me
that you no doubt wished other Americans
saw that impeachment charade involving President
Clinton as what it possibly was or part of
an attempt by Republicans to hijack American
democracy, the popular will and the American
Presidency by first impeaching Bill Clinton then
removing him from office and then having
Al Gore take over as President, impeaching him
and removing him from office and that more
Americans did what the guys on Flight 93 did
and fought back against the whole impeachment charade.

Subject: Dumbya
BC,
Just when I think I'm finished writing for the
night sumptin' on your page catches my eye.
In this case it was your line, "Why invest in
America when its CEO is Weak and Stupid?"
From the beginning of this junta I thought it
would be a great idea for someone (with time on
their hands) to use Dumbya's actual resume to
apply for a CEO position (or upper level management)
at ALL of the "Fortunate" 500 Co's. Include things
like, "In my last position I took my Co. from $6.4
billion in the black down to near $0 in only
5 years." You would have to change a few names to protect
the innocent, maybe anagram G. W. Bush (B. G.
Shug, W. S. Bugh, W. G. Hubs, etc.), make known
the criminal past, spice it all up with a mention
of powerful connections, mail it and wait.
The responses would probably make for some interesting reading.
F.C.
