Quotes
“I’m constantly amazed when people complain
about the so-called liberal bias in the press,
and there are still people making a
living complaining about the liberal bias in the press.
Brent Bozell, who run the Media Research
Center, and I keep wondering ‘When are you gonna
declare victory?’... Sooner or later
I think we’re all going to have to acknowledge that the myth
of liberal bias in the press is just
that, it’s a myth. May have been true at one time, but it’s been
beaten out of ‘em.”
-- Time's Jack White on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal
Excerpt:
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan
on Friday signed an agreement for a
US-protected $3.2 billion gas pipeline
project passing through the three countries.
The agreement defines legal mechanism (...are
you ready for this? )
for setting up a consortium to build
and operate the pipeline.
ha ha
Can Bush or Cheney come up with any oilfield equipment?
The B.F.E.E. is the consortium, and also the link
between the pipeline and US-military protection,
and Halliburton will build and operate the pipeline and
factor in a favorable cut for the B.F.E.E.
Federal cost overruns usually run at 300 percent, so that's a
$10 billion payroll they're stealing.
Doesn't anybody care?
Of course, Bush will make sure this black-budget project will
get that money up-front,
and with Cheney's friends at Arthur Anderson handling the books,
a few billion will slip
thru the cracks and Bush will denounce
"simple mistakes that making all people do,"
or however he'll manage to mangle the English language that day.
I wonder how many American lives will be lost securing Junior's
new toy?
What we need is 100,000 people in the streets of Washington chanting,
"What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?
What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?"
"What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?
What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?"
"What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?
What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?"
"What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?
What's Bush's cut of the pipeline?"
Bush will be remembered as the president who left office 1,000
times richer
than when he wasn't elected.

My
mother's visit by Christian
Livemore
Excerpt:
My mother once got kicked out of Boston.
Yes, I mean the entire city of Boston, Massachussetts.
She doesn’t remember exactly what she did.
(Those were my mother’s wild years.) All she knows
is that one minute she and her friend Barbara
Papasefakis were in a local McDonald’s and the next
minute they were being escorted to the
city limits by Boston Police, who agreed not to press charges
on the condition that my mother never come
back.
The Case for Drinking
Excerpt:
Thirty years of research has convinced
many experts of the health benefits of moderate
drinking for some people. A drink or two
a day of wine, beer or liquor is, experts say, often
the single best nonprescription way to
prevent heart attacks — better than a low-fat diet or
weight loss, better even than vigorous
exercise. Moderate drinking can help prevent strokes,
amputated limbs and dementia.
Excerpt:
A 46 year old music store owner from the
St. Louis area, Elliot Sanders, is claiming that while
a college student at Southeast Missouri
University in 1971, he had an affair with Rush Limbaugh.
Sanders claims that he and Limbaugh, the
well known talk radio star, had an affair that went on
for about 3 months in the fall of 1971...

Quotes
“Even if Democrats pull together on some big
issues, they’ll still have to overcome GOP
bully pulpits in the White House and
Congress – and a new reality: conservative bias in
the media. ‘You’ve got Fox News banging
for Republicans every day,’ says a senior
elected Democrat. ‘They’re No. 1 in
the ratings, and they follow everything the
President does all the time. How do
you get around that?’”
-- Time's Josh
Tyrangiel
How do you get around it?
Well, you could run and hide like a scared little bunny like
you've been doing since January 1997
or
You stand up and fight back, stupid!
An African Editorial
Trent
Lott Must Go
from December 12/12/02
Excerpt:
"Southern racism is the original sin of
the modern conservative movement.
That's [why] the Republicans attract bigots
the way Paraguay attracts Nazis":
Outflanked
Democrats need to catch up in media wars
A nation cries out for BartCop Radio
Excerpt:
"...recent Republican gains have perhaps set
the backdrop for the emergence of an angry liberal
who could claim the same outsider status
that worked so well for Mr. Limbaugh in the early 1990's.
...that means beefing up our capacity to
communicate with the public in all forms of media,
not just through obscure web sites but
on television and radio.".
Damn, if we could only find some angry liberal willing to do a radio show...
The
Woman Who Wouldn't Talk
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
Maybe exhibiting her like Hannibal Lecter
wasn't the dumbest thing Starr ever did. He did so many dumb
things. But in retrospect, the image of
Susan McDougal in her simple checked skirt and black stockings,
draped in shackles and shuffling off to
prison with her chin held high, told millions of Americans all they
needed to know about the prissy Torquemada
who ordered it done.

Hi Bart:
Quote of the Day
"Most liberal talk shows are so milquetoast,
who would want to listen to them?
Conservatives are all fire and brimstone."
-Harry Thomason, Hollywood
producer.
He was that friend of Bill/Hill. He's
rich.
Why won't he fund you or Mike Malloy and
get you on real A.M. radio across the country ?
You should write him and ask him, maybe
we all should.
Hey don't use my real name or contacts,
buddy.
your friend,
Nativeson
PS - ...and yes, I am scoring lots of chicks
with that red corvette I won in the IRC chatroom.
Just what I needed at my age.
ha ha
About the radio thing, I'm leaning towards a different direction
than that.
I don't really need a Hollywood partner with a ton of money and
a list of demands.
In the big leagues, partners and sponsors tend to be very "needy,"
and have lots of
suggestions on which targets need to be hit harder and which
ones I should go easy on.
Na ga da.
What I need to do is get some sample shows on the net and invite
people to listen free.
Maybe I could generate enough interest to compell enough people
send in $5 or $10
so I can remain independent of some rich sponsor who has a big,
fat checkbook.
BTW, a shot of Chinaco Anejo for Marc Perkel, who
I don't thank often enough.
He put bartcop.com on the web back in ...1998?
Remember early this year when the LA cops threw Perkel in jail
without bothering to list any charges?
...and we thought it was, "...Tin soldiers
and Ashcroft coming. We're finally on our own."
Turns out that was just a fun little surprise from his too-sweet-to-be-believed
ex-wife*
and the lying cops
and the crooked, unconstitutional judges who call themselves
'Officers of the court,' in Springfield, Missouri.
"Screw the law - this is Springfield, Missouri - we ARE the law."

Excerpt:

wife more than 100% of everything I own is rather steep."

Excerpt:
"Bush must also be heartsick when he realizes
that his party and his own administration are also
moving backward. Having extended so much
budgetary largesse to the richest taxpayers that the
nation can only anticipate enormous deficits,
his supporters and advisers are now suggesting that
taxes on poor and middle-class families
should be raised...
Is this how the President plans to express
his "love" for those who have so much less than he
and his friends enjoy every day? If so,
he risks being remembered as Robin Hood in reverse,
a parody of charity—and as a conservative
who mocked compassion."
Vic did it again
He brought another feast.
This time is was a turkey he smoked on one of his 3 outdoor grills,
cheesy sausage balls,
black eye peas with giant chucks o' ham, three kinds of pasta
salad I didn't get into,
Rice a la Vic and for desert, homemade Devil's Food Pie
with Oreo Cookie crust.
We eat better than any car dealership in this city.

“Let us find a way to resist fundamentalism
that leads to violence – fundamentalism of
all kinds, in al-Qaeda and within our
government....Our fundamentalism is business,
the unfettered spread of our economic
interests throughout the globe. Our resistance
to this war should be our resistance
to profit at the cost of human life.”

Bush making it a rocky new year
Excerpt:
"Bush got a free ride in 2002. Men like Dick
Cheney and Don Rumsfeld looked competent.
They were tough-talking grown-ups, seasoned
and tested in the worlds of government,
business, and making war. They were the
kind of people you wanted in a national crisis,
and they usefully upstaged comic opera
yokels like Ashcroft.
"...at some point the public has to notice the
threadbare economy, the assaults on privacy
and liberty, the homeland insecurity, and
the reckless foreign policy. At least you have
to hope that it does and that we get through
the year intact."

The Psy-Ops Option
Dear Bartcop,
I want to thank you for the time you put
into bringing humor and enlightenment
to those of us who so desperately crave
liberal intellectual stimulation.
Unitl I went to Missouri for college this
fall, I lived in Wyoming. In right-wing Wyoming, It is often difficult
to find thinkers whose views are at all
inline with my own. Thankfully, one of my favorite people told me
about bartcop.com. As a result I
have been able to keep up with a more straightforward and entertaining
side of current events.

Quotes
"Where's the beef? If I had the ear of the
president, that's the question I would ask him
about Iraq because I don't think it
has yet been answered. In fact, I am terribly disappointed
in the Bush administration's public
case for the war against Iraq. And I am not some left-wing loony.
I served in the administration of Bush
the father. I'm a white guy who is inclined to support this
president. But the administration needs
to show me something before I can buy into the need to
risk American lives to take out Saddam
now. And if I have my doubts, it says a great deal about
the poor public-relations face being
put on the impending war."
--Michael Smerconish, philly.com

Excerpt:
"How did conservatives grasp the concept of the
"war of ideas" and the crucial role of media
in that battle while liberals were lulled
by the dream that some pendulum would swing back
and return the news media more to the center
or left?
Whatever the answer, the "liberal media"
myth has proved so useful to conservatives that they
continue to promote it even after mainstream
news organizations - including the New York Times
and the Washington Post - joined in "press
riots" over Bill Clinton's Whitewater investment and
Al Gore's supposed exaggerations, trivial
issues that paved the way for Clinton's impeachment
in 1998 and Gore's loss of the White House
in 2000, respectively...

"It seems more apparent with each passing day
that American foreign policy is being run
by the Wizard of Oz, hidden behind
the curtain using smoke and mirrors, and anything
that comes to mind, in articulating
its position and place in the world. It is high time that
American citizens pull back the curtain
like Toto, to uncover what is really going on."
