 Halliburton's work in Iraq called 'Poor'
  Poor work makes you super-rich if Bush is a friend

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Serious cost overruns and "poor performance" have plagued the Halliburton's $1.2 billion
 contract to repair Iraq's vital southern oil fields, a new State Department report says.
 The news adds an additional layer of troubles to the company's multibillion dollar operations in Iraq.

 Among guerrilla attacks, the unexpectedly decrepit state of oil facilities and delays in repairs,
 Iraq's oil output of 2.1 million barrels a day  (Do the math - 2.1M barrels @ 55.80 = $117M a day Bush is stealing)
 in February was lower than it was last fall, says the report, a quarterly update on Iraqi reconstruction
 that was delivered to Congress last week. Disappointing oil exports are worsening the Iraqi transitional
 government's budget deficit, which the report estimates could reach $5 billion this year. The report does
 not detail what it called the poor performance and excess spending. But it said that on Jan. 19, the American
 Embassy took the unusual step of issuing a "Cure Notice," a threat to terminate the contract.  Halliburton
 replaced some senior managers but the government remains dissatisfied, the report says.
 

 Trust me - Halliburton could build a pipeline to the f-ing moon in two years with unlimited (stolen) money.
 All Bush has to say is "The beheaders blew up the pipeline again and it'll take 30 days to fix" which means
 they get to steal 30 times $117M = 3.5 billion goddamn dollars - why don't we talk about that?

 They didn't rig the elections to help America's poor or to build a better America.
 They rigged the elections to steal 3.5 billion goddamn dollars - why don't we talk about that?

 Subject: republicans and catholics

 remember when the republicans were fearful of the pope and catholics because
 they didn't want so many millions of americans living in america but taking orders from a foreign leader?
 
 wow, how times have changed.
 
 as long as the pope intervenes in politics by bashing the other side, the republicans are willing
 to suppress their traditional hatred for the papacy.
 
 Andrew R
 

 I'm so old, I remember 1960, when the nuns at Holy Family Catholic School wore
 Kennedy pins AND Nixon pins because they didn't want to be seen as partisan.
 
 Now, it's "If you vote Democrat you're going to Hell."

 I'm not looking forward to bashing the pope in the coming years,
 but if the glove fits, I'm going to speak what I believe to be the truth..

 Get a load of this...

 Neil Bush, P. Benny co-founders
  Perfect - Joey Rats has a BFEE connection?

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Neil Bush, (R-Prostitutes, Silverado S&L) six years ago joined the new Pope as
 a founding board member of a little known Swiss ecumenical foundation.

 The charter members of the board were all well-known international religious figures,
 except for the Bush criminal and his business partner, Jamal Daniel, whose family has
 extensive holdings in the United States and Switzerland, public records show.

 The Foundation for Interreligious and Intercultural Research and Dialogue was founded
 to promote ecumenical understanding and publish original religious texts, said a foundation official..
 

 So what the hell is Kneel "I dunno - the whores just came to my room" Bush doing there?
 How did the BFEE make money promoting ecumenical understanding?

 How close is the BFEE to this "Kerry is a sinner" pope?

 Antarctic Glaciers Shrinking

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The first comprehensive survey of glaciers on the Antarctic peninsula has shown
 that the rivers of ice are shrinking, mostly because of warming of the local climate.

 It is unclear, however, whether the increased temperature causing the shrinkage is
 a natural regional effect or a result of global warming, said the scientists.

 Researchers analyzed more than 2,000 aerial photographs dating from 1940 and
 more than 100 satellite images from the 1960s onwards.  They calculated that 87 percent
 of the 244 glaciers going out to sea from the peninsula have retreated during the last 50 years
 and that the pace of shrinkage has accelerated in the last decade. Until now, scientists were
 uncertain whether the glaciers were growing or melting.

 Subject: Spit in Jane's face

 I read today that Smith claims he doesn't chew tobacco but did so on this occasion
 so he could do what adolescents do from time to time before they mature enough
 to realize that spitting on people is not socially acceptable behavior.

 So not only is this guy a useless punk with the manners of a four year old brat,
 but the admission that he doesn't chew crushes any credibility he might have had to begin with.
 I wonder if the filthy shit ever actually spent any time in 'Nam.

 go3
 

 That same punk probably had a chance to spit in John Kerry's face but he was too afraid.
 But he was plenty brave when attacking an elderly woman.

 Subject: Jane Fonda

 I'm with you that Jane has apologized enough, but the Vietnam vet I served
 at the bar last night reminded me of this: it's not the picture that they can't forgive.

 It was her standing in front of the Hanoi Hilton, greeting U.S. POW's.
 They gave her small slips of paper with their serial numbers on them,
 hoping she could get them to the State dept.  Instead, she handed them to their VC captors.

 That's pretty wrong.
 Tim in TX
 

 Tim, that 'slips of paper' thing never happened and that's a guarantee.

 Full Story

  Excerpt:
 The most serious accusations in the piece quoted above ÷ that Fonda turned over slips of paper
 furtively given her by American POWS to the North Vietnamese and that several POWs were
 beaten to death as a result ÷ are proveably untrue. Those named in the inflammatory e-mail
 categorically deny the events they supposedly were part of.

"It's a figment of somebody's imagination," says Ret. Col. Larry Carrigan, one of the servicemen
 mentioned in the 'slips of paper' incident. Carrigan was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967
 and did spend time in a POW camp. He has no idea why the story was attributed to him, saying,
 "I never met Jane Fonda."
 

 What Jane Fonda did was bad, but it wasn't that bad so Republicans made shit up.
 That 'slips of paper' story is as fake as the Hillary "Gold Star mothers" story.
 The truth won't serve their needs, so they simply made shit up.

 Maybe the "brave" man who attacked the old woman believed that lie, too.

 Hyde admits - it was payback
  They impeached Clinton because they could

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 As Henry Hyde prepares to step down due to poor health, he reflects on 30 years of service
 and answers a poignant question about leading the Clinton impeachment hearings--Would he do it again?

 The 81-year-old bastard said he has second thoughts about leading the impeachment of Clinton on bogus
 charges because the process led to the embarrassing disclosure of Hyde's own extramarital affair in the 1960s.
 Hyde referred to his affair as a "youthful indiscretion."

"Would you do it again?" asked a reporter?

"I'm not sure. I might not," said Hyde.

"Was this pay back [for Nixon]?" asked the reporter.

"I can't say it wasn't," said Hyde.
 

 Henry, you're lucky there is no Hell because that'd be your next address.

..

 You sons of bitches screwed the best president we ever had AND you directed
 the FBI to comb Arkansas for trailer tramps and distracted enough FBI agents with
 that nonsense to allow bin Laden's elves to go about undetected.

 You bear some responsibility for this, you sick bastard.

..

 Rot in hell, Henry.
 May your worthless soul be eaten by the Devil's rottweillers.

"Simpsons" Bows to new Pope

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 In an effort to keep Catholics from having a cow, Fox and the producers of The Simpsons
 have decided to postpone a religion-skewering episode until after the new pope is inaugurated.

 In "The Father, Son and Holy Guest," a priest inspires Bart after he gets expelled from Springfield
 Elementary and lands in a Catholic school. Hijinks ensue.  Fox moved the episode to May 15

 Desperate Housewives reportedly edited out a reference to Catholics earlier this month.
 During a funeral for Gabrielle's mother-in-law, Bree remarks, "You have to hand it to
 the Catholics, they do grief better than anyone."
 

 I was disappointed when they failed to air this certain-to-be-a-classic episode. Turns out they
 didn't want to offend the pope who once belonged to Hitler Youth, according to Maureen Dowd.
 Wasn't that run by Prescott Bush?

 Comments?

 Subject: You said "Iowa nutbags"

 I live in Iowa and worked hard for the Dean campaign.
 The Kerry thing came out of nowhere and is quite suspicious.

 If you look online at the records of Iowa donations Kerry was low on the list compared to the other candidates.
 He was like fourth or fifth on the list.  But if you look at the list, now unavailable to the public, of Republicans who
 switched parties in order to participate in the Iowa caucus, you'll see a suspiciously large number.  Add to that the
 fact that the local papers started "reporting" that droves of Democrats were flocking to Kerry because Dean was
"unelectable" and you start to see a pattern.

 Most of the Democrats that I talked to who had switched to Kerry only did so after they read that Dean was
 unelectable and everyone else was going over to Kerry.  It was coordinated and slimy.  The Iowa debacle was
 not the voice of the people.  I can't say exactly what happened, but there was some political hanky panky going on.
 Don't generalize Iowans because some sort of political machine rose up and skewed the results.

 Scott in Bettendorf Iowa
 

 Scott, OK, nothing personal against Iowans, but why should you guys decide?
 Iowa is the Church of Ethanol, where politicians go to lie.

 Let's spread that bullshit around in 2008 - how about Arkansas or Oregon or Wisconsin?
 Why does Iowa get to decide our candidate every four years?  There's no reason for that.

 Of course, the Democrats can't figure things out, so I expect we'll let Iowa pick again.
 Democrats don't want to win elections - we're handjobbing ourselves into extinction.

 Nun silenced by Joey Rats
  Former Hitler Youth very "GOP" on gays

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 A nun who was ordered by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to stop ministering to gays and lesbians
 called his election as pope "devastating" for those who believe the Catholic Church needs to be
 more tolerant on social issues such as homosexuality. Sister Jeannine Gramick said the choice of
 Ratzinger, who as the Vatican's guardian of doctrine silenced her and Father Robert Nugent in 1999,
 will likely prevent the church from "moving into the 21st century and out of the Middle Ages."
"It does not bode well for people who are concerned for lesbian and gay people in the church," she said.
 

 Christ surrounded himself with society's "have nots," but today's Church isn't very Christ-like.

 ...and they wonder why people are staying away in droves.

 Subject: anti-Wes Clark

 Bart, I'll give you my reasons for not wanting Clark.

 1. He did not want the job in the first place.

 Confusing, but even if true, that's a bad thing?
 

 2. He is a FOLLOWER, that is the nature of his chosen career.
 He even followed the insistence of his 'drafters' in the election.
 No experience, no passion for the job.

 What?
 The four star general wants to command the Joint Chiefs,
 but you say he strikes you as having no ambition or drive?
 

 3. We do NOT need an armyman to run against the repugs.

 I've seen the "regular" Democrats in action.
 Take away Clinton and they haven't won shit in 44 years.
 I'll take Wes Clark over any man I see in the field.
 

 4. Clark looks like a deer in the headlights when he's on camera.
 He does not have confidence. He was and is an office guy, one who
 has spent his LIFE waiting for the orders. I think he is a nice guy, but I
 wouldn't just assume he would be able to rally me to a political victory.

 First, you're giving me your impressions, not facts.
 Second, to whom is he being compared?
 

 I will tell you this...the only guy so far in the Dem field that is shaking things up
 at the infrastructure, telling it like it is as he did from the get go, is Dean.
 He wanted the job, he never lied, he never compromised, he never apologized,
 he both talked the talk and walked the walk.

 I like Dean, but the BFEE media framed him with that scream horseshit..
 Fair or not, that's a problem he's got to get behind him.
 

 Interesting enough, the first thing he did was wipe out his Democrat enemies
 quite successfully. Think about that...it is a VERY important point...
 He IS everything you say you wish were fighting for you...
 Marc B

 Dean lost his first major test - Iowa - BIG-time.
 I like Dean, like I said, but he came in third in Ethanol State.
 So he didn't exactly "wipe out" his Democratic enemies.

 Look, I like your passion and your willingness to fight for your guy, but right now
 Dean is seen as "that screaming guy" and Clark is seen as "that military, kinda-Republican guy."
 Clark is such a great crossover candidate, the hard left doesn't trust him :)

 Let me tell you my impression of Clark.
 He's not as polished as a 30-year politician - but maybe that's the good news.

 I've met the man, I've looked him in the eye and here's what I saw.
 Of all of 'em, he's most angry about what the GOP did to his country.
 It's possible, behind closed doors, he might sound a little like Ol' Bart.
 He wants the GOP's throat in his f-ing hands.
 I can tell.

 I can't remember the quote, and no time to look it up, but last summer he came right out
 and said something like, "If Karl Rove wants a piece of me, he knows where I am."

 That's what I f-ing want in a candidate.

 In closing (crowd does the wave) Dean's the only candidate I've ever given money to.
 I suspect Wes Clark will be the second.

 Woman Arrested in Wendy's Finger Case
  As predicted on  bartcop.com  weeks ago

..
"I fingered myself."

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 A woman who tried to extort money from Wendy's Restaurants after said she found part
 of a human finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili last month has been arrested and charged with
 larceny in connection with the incident, authorities said on Friday.  Anna Ayala, 39, was
 arrested Thursday at her home and was in custody, police officials said.

 Ayala had said she found the finger in chili prepared at a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose on March 22.
 The charge didn't fool Ol' Bart - who smelled a rat seconds after hearing her claim. The bogus incident
 drew intense publicity from lazy-ass late night writers and shook the image of the No. 3 hamburger chain.
