 America where are you now?
 Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
 Don't you know we need you now?
 We can't fight alone against this monster

 Update:
 In the next 20 minutes, Tommy and I will tape Radio Show 24.
 It's going to be good, and why do I say that?
 Because I'm in a pissed off mood.
 I have two kinds of pissed off moods:
 One where I'm too angry to type,
 and the mood I'm in right now which is perfect for radio.

 The next issue might be up as early as tonight, but I had to get in this VCR Alert:
 Tonight's World Poker Tour on The Travel Channel is the very best ever!

 This is the very best of the Pro-Bowl, all star, big money poker players.
 You're going to see a guy bet $200K with absolutely nothing.

 In my poker education, I'm just now getting to the point where
 I'm starting to understand what they've been saying all along:
 It doesn't matter what cards you have in your hand.
 The only thing that matters is the timing and size of your bet.

 If you've ever had even the slightest interest in real poker,
 watch tonight and see the game played as good as it gets.

 This isn't celebrity poker where it's all about the yuks.
 This is real poker, for the $3,000,000 grand prize.

 It's a fantastic look at human nature and expecially the art of the bluff.
 If you've got a totally screwed hand from hell, ignore it and start bluffing.
 You can use these lessons in everyday life again and again.

 Of course, I'm insane to mention this 11 days before the big Vegas Pokerfest,
 but when we meet on the 24th, it'll be more about the sipping some ultra-smooth
 Chinaco Anejo than slitting the financial throats of our good friends.

"It's one thing to believe Bush's policies are leading his country toward a bleak future

 Precautions in the name of air security are about to taken to a level unimaginable in the United States only a few years ago.

 The Washington Post reports Bush is expected to order as soon as next month the first step in setting up databases
 on all air passengers, to be used to color-code each air traveler according to his or her potential threat level.

 Passengers coded red would be stopped from boarding; yellow would mean additional screening at security checkpoints;
 and green would mean an only standard level of scrutiny.

 Airlines and airline reservation companies would reportedly be forced to turn over all passenger records to U.S. government
 officials, who struck out in a trial program was based on voluntary surrender of airline industry data.
 

 ...and anyone on the BFEE's enemies list with either be barred from flying or super-frisked at every airport.
 My SW frequent flyer miles won't do me any good if Bush's goons won't let me on the plane.
 They could also use this to shut down Michael Moore, Al Franken, Sean Penn and all war critics.

 Can't we get a real president before we forget what America used to be like under elected Bill Clinton?

  Excerpt:
"Criticism of Bush and his ever-shifting pretext for a first-strike war (what exactly was it we were pre-empting anyway?)
 has proved so serious a violation of Clear Channel's cultural taboo that only a good contract has kept me from being fired
 outright. Roxanne Cordonier, a radio personality at Clear Channel's WMYI 102.5 in Greenville, S.C., didn't have it as good.
 Cordonier was the South Carolina Broadcasters Association's 2002 Radio Personality of the Year. That apparently wasn't
 enough for Clear Channel. Her lawsuit against the company alleges that she was belittled on the air and reprimanded by her
 station for opposing the invasion of Iraq. Then she was fired."
 

 This is one of the calling cards of the today's fascist goons.
 Since they can't win in a fair exchange of ideas, they play dirty.
 Money (even a lone dollar) is more important than integrity or trust.
 Anyone who doesn't play along had to be fired, injured or killed.

 Binions closure sends dark message

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Downtown took a big hit when Binion's Horseshoe was forced to close its doors Friday.

 A dark casino amid the neon on Fremont Street sends a negative message about the vitality
 of the downtown casino district, and Binion's closure is even worse since the 52-year-old
 casino is one of the city's leading icons, experts said Sunday.

"Dark neon on Fremont Street is definitely a setback to the new synergy,"
 Councilman Lawrence Weekly said.
 

 In the early nineties, the downtown merchants and casino owners got together and built the
$70M  "Fremont Street Experience."  You'd think it would be a good idea to not have one
 of the corners dark. Considering the money involved, why can't hey come up with a mere $5M?

 They just sold the Golden Nugget for $215M, so what's holding up this tiny $5M?

 Sidebar Oddity:
 This is the second "Fest" site that closed its doors soon after hosting a party for us.
 The Rio won't close, because their owners, Harrah's, are talking to Mrs Binion about buying her out.

 Factories suffer 41 months of layoffs
  But America loves the way Bush is handling the economy?

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Despite recent sharp jumps in orders and shipments, factories shed 26,000 workers in December,
 the Labor Department said Friday. The December figures mark the 41st consecutive month of layoffs,
 and bring overall manufacturing job losses to 2.8 million since mid-2000.

 The pace of layoffs has slowed since summer, but more than 500,000 factory jobs evaporated in 2003 alone.
 The figures are a disappointment for workers and many analysts, who had predicted the beleaguered
 manufacturing sector was turning the corner.
 

 No, they lied to make Bush look better.
 If Clinton had had this fawning, good puppy press, Gore's Dow would be at 18,000
 we'd still have the Twin Towers and every American would have health care.

 And isn't it disgusting that Americans are so stupid,

 Everybody: How, ...stupid, ..are they?

 They're so stupid, after losing 3 million jobs all the illegal chimp has to do is stand in front of a
 backdrop that says, "Creating jobs," and people tell themselves that he's doing a good job.

 ...but wait - it gets worse.

• AT&T froze 2004 management pay raises. Its 2003 job cuts rose from 10% to 12% of its workers.

• Sprint's local phone unit expects a 17% drop in 2004 capital spending to $1 billion.

• SBC Communications expects fourth-quarter job cuts will total 3,000 to 4,000.

• BellSouth will cut 1,074 jobs.

• Qwest Communications last month cut $3 billion in debt, to save $250 million a year in interest.

 Bush allies to Run Iraqi TV and Radio
 Just like they run American TV and Radio

  Excerpt:
 The Pentagon has awarded a (no bid?) $96 million contract to a U.S. communications equipment maker BFEE ally
 to run Saddam's old TV and radio network, now called al-Iraqiya, for a year.

 Harris Corp., based in Melbourne, Fla., (That way Jeb gets a piece, too) will operate the national newspaper formerly
 run Ootie, in addition to running the broadcast network, said Howard L. Lance, chairman of the company.
 

 Ninety six million to run a TV station and a radio station for a year?
 Nice work - if you're on the BFEE payroll.

 ...and want to bet that $96M turns into $160M due to "unforseen expenses?"

  Excerpt:
 Oil prices hit fresh post-Iraq war highs on Monday as speculators bet on a market underpinned
 by low U.S. crude inventories and the threat of another bout of Arctic weather in the United States.

 Speculative funds have driven the price strength, expecting another spell of very cold weather in the
 U.S. Northeast, a center for heating oil demand.

"It's still a pretty firm market," said Marshall Steeves, analyst at Refco.
"Crude supplies remain quite tight."
 

 Crude supplies remain tight because Bush is letting his friends price-gouge the public - again.
 They knew in September that the Northeast would be cold in January - so why are supplies tight?

 I should get a seven-figure job as an oil industry advisor.
 I could tell them that it gets cold in the winter and less so in the summer.
 I could predict with uncanny accuracy which weekends next year will have a
 disproportionate amount of drivers filling up for a vacatioon to visit the grandparents.
 That way, they won't be blindsided with "unexpected demand" in early summer.

 And guess what?

 It's going to be cold in the Northeast next January, too.
 I'll let you have that one for free.

 Betty: But it was my understanding that the alarmingly indiscrete help in this building called you Pickled, dear.

 Diana Ross to Accept Plea in DUI Charge

  Excerpt:
 There will be no trial for Diana Ross on drunken driving charges.

 During a pretrial hearing in Tucson City Court, Ross' lawyers said she's ready
 to accept a plea agreement and will change her earlier "not guilty" plea.

 Details of the agreement, including what type of plea Ross may enter
 or whether any type of sentence might be involved, were not released.
 

 Why do we have "secret justice?"

 For all we know, she blew the judge and he dropped the charges in return.
 I thought the public had a right to know - at least we did under rightfully elected Bill Clinton.

 This wasn't a lawsuit that both sides settled in a non-disclosure agreement.
"Ms Ross" endangered lives when she drove double-drunk.
 The public has a right to know how she made this go away,
 but I have bigger, smellier fish to fry than some pop diva's DWI coverup.

 Sopranos Update
 A visit finds the smash-hit series in robust health

  Excerpt:
 Look out for the new Tony on "The Sopranos."

 No, it's not a replacement for James Gandolfini.
 America's favorite mob boss will be back March 7 after a 15-month break.

 It's Tony Blundetto, a Soprano cousin just out of prison, played by Steve Buscemi.
 

 Wow!
 It doesn't get any better than Steve Buscemi.
 he was one of my favorite people in all of show business before
 he put on that firefighters uniform and helped out at Ground Zero.

 Besides marrying Nancy Grace, this is one of the only ways I know to slow time.
 March 7 seems like forever, but it'll be here before the body hits the ground.

 Also, Head Goombah David Chase says The Russian that Paulie and Christopher shot in
 "Pine Barrens," (funniest Sopranos episode ever, directed by Buscemi) and sadly, Furio, are history.

 Subject: WTF - please respond

 I just want to know one thing.
 If your boy Clark doesn't get the nomination, will you support whomever the nominee is in the general election?

 Sure.
 

 Also, whomever the president is next year, don't you think that they should represent the American people
 rather than some shady corporate interest? Isn't that the problem we have now? I don't know who Bush
 represents, but it sure as shit isn't the American people.

 I am anti-Bush.
 I kinda expect people who read this page to know that.
 Who *I* think the president ought to support is hardly the issue facing this country.
 We need to get rid of Bush and I think Clark would be more effective at that.
 

 One more thing, Fuck You.
 Sorry, but you had that coming for insinuating that i'm some kind of Naderite or Repub brownshirt
 because I disagree with you. If you read Eschaton on a regular basis, you know that shit ain't true.

 I wrote:

> I can't tell if you're anti-Clark or pro-Dean.
> You could be a Republican who wants the best Democratic candidate to lose.

 For that I get a "fuck you?"

 I don't know most of the people who post at  bartcop.com
 How am I supposed to know the regulars at Eschaton?
 With your manners, I'll bet you're very popular.
 

 For the record, I'm voting Dennis in the primaries (the ONLY serious candidate who isn't Bush Lite),
 but I will support "Unnamed Democrat" in the general election.
 Will you? I hope so, but somehow I doubt it.

 Powell: No Proof in Linking Iraq to Al Qaeda

..
      "They made me lie.
    I didn't want to do it."

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Colin Powell conceded Thursday that despite his assertions to the UN last year,
 he had no "smoking gun" proof of a link between the Saddam and Al Qaeda.

 "I have not seen smoking-gun, concrete evidence about the connection, but I think the
 possibility of such connections did exist, and it was prudent to consider them at the time that we did."  .
 

 You Sir, are a liar.
 "Prudence" didn't get 500 soldiers killed.
 Your boss's unquenchable hardon for oil and your bald-faced lies got those men killed.

 You should be in prison for telling lies that killed 500 soldiers.
 You're a disgrace to this nation and your reputation is ruined.

 Your obituary should read, "Colin Powell, the lying bastard who helped Bush kill 7000 soldiers
  in the Iraqi quagmire, died today from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his home."

 Move ON's statement about the Bush-Hitler dustup

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 We do not support the sentiment expressed in the two Hitler submissions. They were voted down by our
 members and the public, who reviewed the ads and submitted nearly 3 million critiques in the process of
 choosing the 15 finalist entries.

 We agree that the two ads in question were in poor taste and deeply regret that they slipped through our
 screening process. In the future, if we publish or broadcast raw material, we will create a more effective filtering system.

  I guess the only way to determine if this is a "backdown" would be to see the ads.

 If the swastika fits, you must admit.
 

 Sidebar: (From an e-mail without attribution)
 As The Nation's John Nichols reports, MoveOn.org is being pounded upon hysterically by the Republican Party
 over two ad contest entries -- mailed in from the public, not endorsed by MoveOn and even apologized for and
 pulled from the website -- ads that compared George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler.

 MoveOn notes sourly, however, that none of this indignation was around when Max Cleland was smeared by
 the GOP with TV ads comparing him to Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
 

 Our side simply has no stomach for a fight.

 We get beat up and spit on and shit on and we smile and ask for more.
 We're Democrats.

 Meanwhile, if CBS does a Reagan movie that doesn't have "Saint" in the title,
 the right-wing media pound them until they take the movie off their schedule - sight unseen.

 I know this will make many of you flinch,
 but the Democrats could use a little more BartCop aggression.

  Denver slut re-writes Dowd's column to try to be just like her

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 I don't know what's come over me. Suddenly I just can't take my eyes off Gen. Wesley Clark.
 I mean, since he started wearing argyle sweaters and corduroy pants, yum!

 I'm telling you, when it comes to the other Democrats in the race for the presidential nomination,
 all buttoned-down tight in their conservative dark suits and ties, it's just soooo over.
 Or ... maybe not.

 Apparently it worked for Madonna.
 She announced her endorsement of Clark "not only as a celebrity, but as an American citizen and a mother."

 But we're not all material girls.
 

 Gag me with a swastika.

 This talentless, streetwalking hack could win a Pulitzer, just like Dowd, for attacking Democrats.
 This is what reporting has become under the giant whore tent that was once the Fifth Estate.
 Take something as trivial as wearing a sweater, then pile on every possible negative connotation
 and get a big raise from your Bush-loving boss (after sleeping with him, of course).

 It stands as proof that Clark is such a threat to the B.F.E.E.'s domination of global affairs that they order
 Clark to be hit with these silly-ass charges that he's a fake if he puts on a sweater in January in New Hampshire.
 Every candidate in the last forty years has made an appearance without wearing a suit, but Clark is guilty.

 Little Miss Ass-for-Sale wants to tie Madonna to Clark?
 Why not remind everyone that every four years, the GOP nominee is endorsed the the KKK?

 No, you can't tell the damn truth - there's no money in the truth.

 I say fuck Bush's good puppy press, and it's a good thing the policy here at  bartcop.com

 Subject: Perkel's server = extra low spam

 Hey Bart,

 I saw you talking about Perkel's extra-low spam rates and I thought I'd share my experience with your readers.

 I have had the same two email addresses since 1997 -- if there is a spammer out there who says he doesn't have
 my email address on his list, he's probably lying - ha ha. With Perkel's system, spams get filed in a special folder
 which can be conveniently ignored. You can click on that folder to see the number of spams you didn't have to look at.

 I just checked mine, and in the last 12 hours, I received 355 pieces of spam, of which I had ONE mistakenly delivered
 to my inbox. I dragged that one over to the 'This is Spam' folder, and the system will 'learn' how to recognize it in the future.
 What a system! If I had to press delete on 700 spams a day, I would be totally insane by now, I'm sure.

 Thanks for the sanity, Perkel!

 And thanks for mentioning my band on your great page, Bart -- keep up the good work!

 PN: Didn't our ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, know about and green-light the invasion of Kuwait?

 WM: Let's deal with the present, shall we?

 WM: The main point is that we are invading Iraq because Resolution 1441 threatened "severe consequences."
 If we do not act, the Security Council will become an irrelevant debating society.

 PN: So the main point is to uphold the rulings of the Security Council?

 WM: Absolutely. ...unless it rules against us.
