Quotes
"For Bush -- the whole day was devoted to linking
his presidency to the aura of the U.S. military.
When the Viking S-3B carrying Bush
made its tailhook landing on the aircraft carrier Thursday,
Bush emerged from the cockpit in full
olive flight suit and combat boots, his helmet tucked jauntily
under his left arm. As he exchanged
salutes with the sailors, his ejection harness, hugging him tightly
between the legs, gave him the bowlegged
swagger of a top gun. The carrier landing capped a recent
period in which the president has tied
himself to the military as never before. And that is no accident:
Bush aides are planning to make his
war leadership the focus of his 2004 reelection campaign, and
yesterday's images are crucial in burning
that impression into the national cornea."
--Dana Milbank,For
Bush, the Military Is the Message for '04
Only in America would the press let an idiot
who deserted his post during wartime claim he's a war hero.
We don't have a free press that
will tell the truth and we don't have an opposition party to the
fascist dogs
who have stolen our government - What's
it going to take to wake up the Democrats?
"I am
a brave war hero who risked my life for others."
..
"You
sure are - and we love you!"
That's strike one.
Excerpt:
"The most important thing to know is that the
Iraqi soldiers and commanders had left the hospital almost two
days earlier," Houssona said. "The night
they left, a few of the senior medical staff tried to give Jessica back.
We carefully moved her out of intensive
care and into an ambulance and began to drive to the Americans,
who were just one kilometre away. But when
the ambulance got within 300 metres, they began to shoot.
There wasn't even a chance to tell them
`We have Jessica. Take her.'"
And:
"She was in pretty bad shape. There was blunt
trauma, resulting in compound fractures of the left femur
(upper leg) and the right humerus (upper
arm). And also a deep laceration on her head," Houssona said.
Ouch!

"Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
It's
well known.
The search for these weapons will be
difficult and lengthy, but ultimately successful.
Iraq's the size of the state of California.
It's got tunnels, caves, all kinds of complexes."
-- The self-proclaimed "president" of the United States
"We believe you ...and we trust you. You're
a great president, and we won't ask about
bin Laden or Saddam or anthrax or the
missing surplus or the stolen 2000 election or
the no-longer-applicable Bill of Rights.
We know you'd never mislead us just to stay in power."

Subject: Anagrams
Bart,
You published an email in issue 1058 praising
the anagram generator from issue 144, and it reminded me
of a few classics discovered by author
Robert Anton Wilson (from his book "Cosmic Trigger, volume II"):
"Ronald Wilson Reagan" can be rearranged to spell
"Insane Anglo Warlord," and "George Herbert Walker Bush"
becomes "Huge Berserk Rebel Warthog."
Thought you'd dig that.

Quotes
"This is a-just another demonstration, I think,
of President Bush’s courage,
that if these young men and women
are out there defending our country can
face this sort of risk, then
President Bush should be able to face this similar risk.
-- --Congressman Jim Gibbons of Nevada, Countdown
with Keith Olbermann
Wait, you mean a little boy playing pretend pilot off the San
Diego coast is "just like"
flying combat missions over enemy territory with AAA going off
all around you?
Why, the Corrupt Commander is braver than I thought.
The Road to Perdition
We finally rented it, and it could have been a good movie.
Holy Koresh! Give me Tom Hanks and Paul Newman and
$60 million
and I'll bet I could deliver a movie that people would actually
enjoy seeing.
What were they thinking?
Did they sign up before reading the script?
You'd think giants like Hanks and Newman could have their pick
of scripts, and this is
the script they chose? On purpose? Or were
they being blackmailed by someone?
Odds are you haven't seen this movie - nobody has - so I won't
give away the ending,
but I would've rather seen a boring, saw-it-coming traditional
Hollywood ending than
the let's-strangle-Bambi ending we get from director Sam Mendes.
I'll tell you, I'm no movie expert, but if they're going to invest
$60 million in a movie, it would
be worth their money to send me a copy as they're doing post
and get my don't-know-much,
man-on-the-street opinion because they took what was already
a pretty dark film and then
they hit it over the head, dragged it into an alley and beat
it up with that attrocious ending.
Most issues of bartcop.com have a better ending
than Perdition.
Don't we expect more from a Tom Hanks movie?
Has he lost his touch?
Inverted
Totalitarianism
saw it on thenation.com
Excerpt:
While the Nazi totalitarianism strove to
give the masses a sense of collective power and strength,
Kraft durch Freude ("Strength through
joy"), inverted totalitarianism promotes a sense of weakness,
of collective futility. While the Nazis
wanted a continuously mobilized society that would not only
support the regime without complaint and
enthusiastically vote "yes" at the periodic plebiscites,
inverted totalitarianism wants a politically
demobilized society that hardly votes at all.
Quotes
"I have to say, in the current President Bush’s
defense, he was a pilot.
I mean, it wasn’t like the typical
avoiding the military service by serving in the National Guard.
-- Ann Coulter, pretending
rich, connected boys went to Vietnam.
Oh,
wait, that's right.
Al
Gore went to Vietnam while Smirk protected Midland from the Viet Cong
"He was a pilot in the National Guard. He was
training to be a pilot. It’s a dangerous National Guard duty.
If the Vietnam war had continued, he
would have gone to the Vietnam war as a pilot, so - I mean, he is a pilot,
though he was not - he did not serve
in wartime."
--Ann Coulter on Hardballs
with The Screamer
Ann, ...Ann, ... ...Ann!!
Could you stop doing that long enough to
listen to the truth?
(By the way, why don't you get married
or something and stop with the clowns?)
Your hero trained on a "P-type" airplane.
Let's see, "F" is for fighters, "B" is
for bombers, what's a "P" for, ...puta?
Since he was rich, connected and stupid, they agreed to train him to fly a plane that was so old,
...everybody, "...How ...old ...was it?"
His plane was so old, they no longer made spare parts for it, ensuring he'd never see Vietnam, no matter what.
I can't understand why the men missing an
eye, an arm or a leg cheer the rich little snot who's daddy BOUGHT him
a spot in an already-full Air National
Guard Unit.
...just to be sure I have it right - Clinton
is bad because he tried to stop the war, and Bush is a war hero because
his rich daddy bought a safe and cushy
assignment from which he deserted to get drunk and get laid in Mexico.
Do I have it right?

Quotes
"Nobody looks right in the role Bush has set
for the presidency-commander-in-chief, medium height,
medium build, looks good in a jet pilot’s
costume (ha ha)
-or uniform, rather-has a certain swagger,
not too literary, certainly not too
verbal, but a guy who speaks plainly and wins wars."
--Chris Matthews, Countdown
with Keith Olbermann
Chris, so much bullshit, so little time - where to start?
First, we should NOT pick our leaders by height and weight
and bullshit photo ops.
We should pick them on brains, integrity and their non-willingness
to take over the world.
Second, yes, they gave the Bush boy a pilot's costume to wear to the party on the big boat.
Third, yes, that silly snot has a swagger that most people
call "an ugly smirk."
That's why the Manchester Leader, a right-wing New Hampshire
paper, dubbed him, "Governor Smirk."
Fourth, you're right, it takes brains to form a coherent sentence - this chimp has none.
Fifth, if we had trained Bush's dog Barney (You have to look real close)
...to bark once for "Let's roll,"
and twice for "Let's give the sanctions a chance,"
we were still going to win that war, no matter what, probably
with fewer casualties.
The reason Clinton wasn't a "war hero," is because we were
at peace,
because unlike President Monthlong Vacations, Clinton
defended the Homeland.
Chris, in closing, three questions:
1. Why are you such an unmitigated whore for this appointed fraud?
2. How big is your monthly check from the B.F.E.E.?
3. Why do you tell people you're still a liberal?

Hires Christian Extremists to Produce Arabic News
Would we expect anything else?
Excerpt:
The U.S. government this week launched
its Arabic language satellite TV news station for mostly
Muslim Iraq. It is being produced in a
studio – Grace Digital Media – controlled by fundamentalist
Christians who are rabidly pro-Israel.
That's grace as in "by the grace of God."
Grace Digital Media is controlled by a fundamentalist
Christian millionaire, Cheryl Reagan, who last year
wrested
control of Federal News Service,
a transcription news service, from its former owner,
Cortes Randell. Randell says he met Reagan
at a prayer meeting, brought her in as an investor in Federal
News Service, and then she forced him out
of his own company.
I wish writers would quit trying to "be fancy" and just tell us
what the hell happened.
This says she "wrested control" from the owner and forced him
out - what the hell does that mean?
She stole it?
She wrote a check?
She bought the stock?
She had the real owner shot and stuffed in a trunk?
What's wrong with writers that they can't write?
Stand
and Fight
by Eric Alterman
Excerpt:
L'affaire Daschle/Gingrich is just
exhibit A of how our politics are now being driven by a toxic combination
of jingoism, self-righteousness and nearly
divine faith in the rectitude of a President who has cast off the
traditional strictures of consensus politics
in favor of a no-holds-barred assault on those who stand in
the way of his extremist agenda. To question
the path of the President is to invite immediate accusations
of naïveté at best, disloyalty
at worst--and most often both.
What is to be done? Well, plenty, in the
long run.
But in the short run, how about at least
fighting back?
All the Democrats have going for them these
days are the issues
--if only they would stand up for a few
of them.
Eric, they are Democrats.
They're too scared and awestruck by Bush's "greatness" to fight
back.
They'd rather lose in 2004 than fight this monster and his jack-booted
goon squad.

squad? Hmmm, it mught be time

Quotes
"Bush joined the Air Guard back when he was
out of college. This guy flew these kinds of planes."
--Chris the Screamer
No Chris, he didn't fly "these" kinds of planes.
He didn't fly anything that's used in 2003, and I'm sure,
because he didn't fly the planes
that were used when he flew the out-of-date planes back in 1971.
We don't know that he actually flew any damn plane at all - do we?
You can't be a moron with zero communications skills and get a
license to fly a plane.
If you tell the tower you're coming in on the runway "that
makes the pie higher,"
you're probably going to die, and since that didn't happen -
I doubt he ever actually flew.
"This guy is used to wearing this uniform because he did it for a living for a while."
ha ha
Yeah, nearly 3/4 of the time he was in the service, he wore the
uniform
"And the fact is, he is who he is. He didn’t make himself."
Correct, that's why Mr. Rove is in charge.
"He didn’t design himself as a softspoken, simple-vocabulary kind of guy. That’s who he is."
Hold it, hold it.
The guy who screamed, "motherfucker"
in a drunken rage at Al Hunt in a Dallas restaurant is "soft-spoken?
is that what you meant to say, Chris? Or did you
mean that Bush screams less loudly than you?
And how about that "Fuck Saddam, we're
taking him out," comment?
Is that what a soft-spoken man of God says in front of reporters?
"George W. Bush doesn’t speak in a complicated fashion. He’s a very basic, clear-thinking guy..."
Oh Christ, show me the evidence that he's a 'clear thinker.'
Did he remember your nickname, Chris? Is that what makes
him a clear-thinker?"
"...who goes to bed at 9:30 with his wife. He’s not complicated. He’s not a problem."
Correct. The problem is the dying economy, the loss
of democracy, the destruction of the Bill of Rights,
the suspension of the Constitution, the secrecy, the appointment
of CONVICTED FELONS to control
Homeland Security, the loss of trees, clear air and clean water,
the Treasury being down TEN TRILLION
since the Commander in Thief stole his way to power, the Corrupt
Supreme Court, crooked Diebold voting machines,
Cheney and Rummy's plans to control the oil in the Middle East
and the fresh water in southern California.
So you're right, Chris - Bush isn't complicated, Bush isn't the
problem.
The crime cartel crooks he fronts for, the rich bastards who
raped the Constitution, are the problem
"He is George W. Bush. And I think the beauty
of the guy’s presidency is it’s so custom-made for him.
He’s designed a presidency to be him,
and I think that’s clear."
--Chris the Screamer, Countdown
with Keith Olbermann
Wrong again, Chris.
Bush couldn't design a plan to get a condom over his penis when
he
raped that 15-year old Houston girl.
Screamer, you're nothing but a GOP tool. I think you should
have "GOP Tool,"
tattooed on your forehead, so you can remember which side
you're on.
You're a paid-for whore, Chris - how do you sleep at night?

There are lots of things to hate about this new fascism that's

One of the worst is they'll take everything and then try

They're not happy controlling the White House, the Senate, the

the Treasury, the Supreme Court and the appointment of future
judges - that's not enough.
They want a lot more than that.
They want your children's futures, too, they want all radio and
TV programming to go thru Mr Rove
and worst of all, they expect us to say, "Thank
you. May I have another?" after each attack.

A great story from Marty at
Drove to just over the AZ border to meet
up with dear old Dad & the Babe.
All went well, and a long told family tale
was proved true, to boot.
There's a privately run museum along the
way, east of Palm Springs (which Sonny Bono
accurately referred to as 'Death's waiting
room'), that honors George Patton.
Dad (his name is Sam Guaglianone) was one
of 20 guys that were part of the 12th Corp - the frontline
accountants, for lack of a better phrase,
and he was the kid (& the hick) of the group.
Initially the 12th Corp was Omar Bradley's,
but ended up with Patton on the march to the Rhine.
When pressed, Dad had a story about Patton
wanting to piss in the Rhine.
And how Dad was busted for taking a picture
of the occasion.
Back in the 80's, I came across a story
in 'Spy' magazine about Bob Hope's house
& how one of his most prized possessions
was a picture of Patton pissing in the Rhine.
Turns out there's also a copy of it at the Patton museum.
So, the weekend turned out much cooler than ever anticipated.
Thanks,
Marty

By the way, Ari the Forked Tongue lied his ass off for the 1,000th
time on this stupid stunt.
He said Bush HAD to take a plane instead of a chopper because
of "the hours" it would take
to reach the Lincoln by chopper which was waaaaay out to sea.
Lying bastard!
It was 39 miles out.
It was so close to the shore, they had to position the ship to
hide the San Diego coastline.
They lie so blatantly, again and again, and nobody,
not
the Democrats, and certainly not
the press ever calls them on their lies, no matter who
dies, no matter who's arrested or invaded.
If Clinton had half the media fawning Bush gets, we'd all have

Bush rapes the truth bride constantly and the press gives him

... a Democratic candidate who refuses

should adjust their support accordingly.

Spying Puts Twist on Jefferson Saga
Racists sabotage blacks, preserve a "calm and civilized"
gathering
Excerpt:
The wife of a Thomas Jefferson family association
official said Friday that she
masqueraded as a 67-year-old black woman
on an Internet chat room in a bid to
keep descendants of a reputed Jefferson
mistress out of last weekend's family reunion.
"It might have been somewhat unethical," said
Paulie Abeles of Washington, D.C.,
who participated for eight months in the
Yahoo! message board created for
relatives of Jefferson slave Sally Hemings.
"It might have been childish, but I really
think I was working in the best interest of the
majority of the family members to make
the reunion a calm and civilized gathering," she said.
Comment: Those blacks can get so excited and be so uncivilized,
especially after being raped by their owners.
For the sake of calmness and civility for the majority, they should be
excluded from their heritage.
More Info:
Excerpt:
In May 2002 the Monticello Association
(descendants of Thomas Jefferson) voted to
not admit descendants of Sally Hemings
into their organization. The decision came after
their careful review of all available information
resulting in the conclusion that there was
not sufficient evidence to prove Jefferson
fathered Hemings' children.
Fact:
The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The Fifth Of May, commemorates
the victory of
the Mexicans at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. Who did they beat?

It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state
capital city of Puebla and throughout
the state of Puebla, but is also celebrated in other parts
of the country and in U.S.cities where fine-palated

and he'd be peeing on a lot more than the
Rhine.

Subject: IRS refunding Lying Corporations
Bart,
There seem to be a growing numbers of instances
where corporate fraudsters are actually
recieving re-payments of taxes paid
when they illegally inflated their earnings.
Paying taxes on false income was neccesary
to convince shareholders, SEC, etc that the
earnings reports were true and accurate.
Worldcom (now spun as MCI) has already received
$300
million back from the IRS,
Qwest is expected to ask for money back
as well, others are likely lining up...
US Taxpayer "So let me get this straight...
You corporations LIED about earnings to inflate
the value of your stock, many top execs
reaped huge bonuses in conjunction with those inflated
stock values, and in order to validate
your earnings claims, you paid taxes to the IRS (must not have
been Andersen clients).. then when the
shit hit the fan and the ruse was discovered, you asked for
the tax money back...and the IRS
said...OK...?!!"
This is such a lovely precedent to set.
"Hey !!!...you gave Worldcom their money back, we want ours!"
Basically anyone who has to "re-state earnings"
will feel justified in asking for money back from the IRS.
I wonder how much is "Kenny Boy" going to want...? (even though Enron hadn't paid taxes in years)
I gotta go...I need to "re-state" my earnings....

Subject: 50 Cent Lyrics
Bartcop,
If you are going to criticise someone's
lyrics,
you could at least that get the lyrics
you quoted right.
Rory
Rory, sorry to offend you - I wrote what I heard him say.
One of these days I'll do an issue that pleases everybody.
Bill Kristol on Bill Bennett's gambling problem
"This is a matter between Mr. Bennett, his
wife and his accountant. I'm sure he
doesn't regard gambling as a virtue
but as a rather minor and pardonable vice
and a legal one and one that has not
damaged him or anyone else."
So, Bennett's wife and children had no need for the eight million he threw away?
Must be nice.
We had to finish today's issue early so we could start the party.
