"President Bush declared Saturday taxes will
be raised over his dead body.
So far, every President Bush has a
recession, a Mideast war,
a vow never to raise taxes and a Clinton
waiting to take his place.

Excerpt:
The most explosive charge is that the Bush

down FBI investigations of al Qaeda

do a deal with the Taliban on oil
-- an oil pipeline across Afghanistan.

We ran this story months ago.
Hell, we told that story November 16 in Volume
642 - Just Like a Penguin in Bondage
Then we ran the Russian's take on it in Volume

I guess the news value of this "new" CNN report is that they're finally catching up to bartcop.com
Flight
587 Witnesses Blast Feds
From the New York Post
Excerpt:
January 7, 2002 -- New Yorkers who believe
they saw American Airlines Flight 587 explode in flames
before its tail sheared off have accused
crash investigators of ignoring their eyewitness accounts and
prematurely ruling out a terrorist attack.
Six witnesses, including a recently retired
police lieutenant, an FDNY deputy chief and a former firefighter,
have written to the National Transportation
Safety Board, demanding they be called to testify at a public hearing.
What's going on here?
This is an old story, too. We had this a looooong time ago, and
we ran it twice, too.
Why is the New York Post just now finding this story?
This is old, old news.

Bart(?)-
You probably won't read this, but I've recently
bookmarked your site
because it's awfully goddamn refreshing to read
honest political content.
Since the last election, I've been in a
funk with regards to mass delusion
and total lack of media accountability with the
actions of the idiots who
control the so-called Republican Party.
Your site, along with MWO, DU and
a few others, appear to be the only places where
one can find objective
analysis of current events. Too bad you
wont get rich or become the latest
media darling with your honest assessments.
Oh well, guess you'll have to
live with a clean conscience as your only reward.
Anyway, I don't really have much in the way of
money that I can send you.
However, I do have a part ownership in a bar
that my company has in Zhongshan, China (PRC).....
Check out our pics at www.gabrian.com,
there's a link to our bar there. We have brought good old
American drinking values to a Karyoke saturated
society. If you happen to get a chance to visit
(Zhongshan is 45 minutes inside Mainland China
from Hong Kong), I will see to it that we set you up
with a free night's worth of reasonable good
Tiger beer and many games of Lying Dice..
...hope you can take me up on it.
Thanks and keep the good fight going.

Bob, amazingly, I'll be in Zhongshan next week!
Just kidding, thanks for the note,

Who
Killed John O'Neill?
Click Here for the superior today version
Click Here for the lesser, forever version - it's too important to lose
Excerpt:
Just two weeks, TWO WEEKS, prior to the
attack, O'Neill had left his job with the FBI.
O'Neill had quit because he believed that
the Bush administration had stymied the intelligence
agency's investigations on terrorism. O'Neill
charged that it had done so even as it bargained
with the Taliban on handing over of Osama
bin Laden in exchange for political recognition and
economic aid. In the ultimate irony, O'Neill
had gone public with these charges at the same time
that he was leaving the FBI to become the
head of security at the World Trade Center.

Ex-newsman's
case full of holes
by Tom Shales
Excerpt:
Disgruntled has-beens everywhere have a
new hero and role model: Bernard Goldberg,
the one-time CBS News correspondent and
full-time addlepated windbag who is trying to make
a second career out of trashing his former
employer. Goldberg has picked this moment in time
to haul out the old canard about the media
being "liberal" and the news being slanted leftward.
Obviously hoping to follow in the footsteps
of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, two intellectual
giants by comparison, Goldberg has fashioned
his rantings into a book succinctly titled "Bias," which,
appropriately enough, won the dubious honor
of a commendatory editorial from The Wall Street Journal.
And we all know how unbiased those Journal
editorials are.
Gosh it is soooo hard to figure out where
they're coming from.
Shales is a great writer, and considered the best TV writer in
the business,
although I think Matt Roush is more in-line with my tastes.

Collateral Damage
Excerpt:
We are now living in Propaganda Hell.
Our press/media, once the envy of the world for being the
voice of truth, when The Fairness Doctrine
was law, and insured all sides of an issue would be heard,
is now nothing more than a laughable, politically
motivated, corporate finance-generating tool.
What makes it even more obscene is that
they have become complicit in the theft of our democracy.
We should no longer be known as the United
States of America, but the Corporate Controlled
Republic of North America. Freedom of The
Press is nothing more than an historical footnote.

Subject: Priests who bugger children...
oh, BC, don't get me started on this one...in
the mid-90s, the Archdiocese of New Orleans had a
"development drive" whose goal was to raise at
least $20 million...shortly after the drive began, a local
TV station broke the story that the church was
facing $20+ million in lawsuits to settle up for all the
pedo priests around here.
Now, here's the rich part of the story:
two years ago, St. Louis Cathedral, one of the oldest catlick churches
in the country, was found to have termites...so
we had to have *another* fund-raising drive to pony up *another*
$2.5 million to fix what is a french quarter
landmark...(if you ever see a postcard of new orleans where andrew
jackson's statue is in the foreground and there's
a church in the background...that's st. louis cathedral).
Hmmmm...maybe we could have afforded to *protect*
the building from termites if we weren't shelling out
because of punitive settlements stemming from
priests that like children?
And what do they do with the retiring archbishop
who allowed these priests
to bugger children and looked the other way?
They named a high school after him...
Cheers,
Ed.
This is an excerpt from an article Ed wrote a few years back
Those poor kids have nobody looking after them.
Their parents trust the priests, even after reading dozens of
these horror stories.
Reading that excerpt, I thought of that whore Laura Schlessinger.
Her schtick is that she wants to "protect the children."
Have you ever heard her rant away at child-raping priests?
No, because you can't make much money saving children from being raped
by priests,
and Laura, Rush, Fox News, Hannity, O'Reilly, Chris the Screamer et
al are only
interested in one thing and that's making MONEY selling lies to red
meat Republicans..
This morning, laura the panty-dropper spent the first hour on why military
tribunals
are so terribly necessary to Weak & Stupid's quest for oil in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, in some big American city, a priest is raping a child.
It's not about children - it's about making money.

John, you're taking the coward's way out.
You know every word I wrote is true. There's nothing to dispute.
The only possible argument you could have was with the last sentence
- "Religion is the problem."
You seem to think putting your head in the sand will stop these repeated,
aggravated child rapes.
These priests are raping in God's name - that doesn't make you angry?
Those little boys are being told, "This is
our secret, you, me and God,"
and then that zipper drops and that child grows up to be a church arsonist.
...and you think I'm the problem?
You think it'd be better if nobody talked about this?
When did the truth become a problem, John?
Send me your address, I'll send your money back.

Cheney
Discloses Enron Meetings
Cheney denies knowing of financial problems at collapsed
energy giant.
Excerpt:
Under pressure from Capitol Hill, Dick
Cheney for the first time has acknowledged
he and his aides had a series of meetings
with executives of Enron Corp., including
CEO Kenneth Lay, a major backer of the
Bush campaign
Bush's most prominent economic adviser,
Larry Lindsey, and his point man on trade issues,
Robert Zoellick, have both served as Enron
advisers. Lindsay received $50,000 from Enron
for his services, while Bush's chief political
strategist, Karl Rove, owned Enron stock while the
energy task force was conducting its work.
Rove sold his shares for $68,000 last June.
Remember - Enron's collapse is 1,000 times bigger than Whitewater,
yet the press is willing to give Mr.Unelected every benefit of
the doubt.
GOP, Enron in bed but press snoozes
Excerpt:
A few journalists - admittedly, very few
- are asking why their colleagues are
giving George W. Bush a "free ride" on
the Enron Corp. scandal.
If this were Bill Clinton, after all, there
would be front-page stories, nasty editorials,
ranting columnists and a congressional
investigation or two. There'd even be a couple
of "outraged" congressmen suggesting impeachment's
not far off.
I wonder if they'll change the name of Enron Field, where the Astros play?
Special thanks to Mark Taggart
A while back, I mentioned that Christian, my Chief of Staff, was losing
her computer
with her move to Gingrichtown, GA and asked if anyone could help out.
We were hoping someone would offer a discount on an IMac or Apple whatever,
(I don't know the names of those funny machines) but what happened?
Mark Taggart apparently got a new computer for Christmas so he packed
his
current computer in a box and shipped it to Christian's home - for
free.
Can you believe that?
He didn't even charge her shipping.
She said he said, "What the hell - it's Christmas,"
and
just made it happen.
Mark, that was a damn nice thing to do.
We at bartcop.com owe you a favor.
You let us know what it is.
