Quotes

"Christmas and the New Year are actually two holidays. So there is a plural,
which in the English language, necessitates the use of 's.' I suppose you could say
'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy New Year,' but you probably have shit to do."
     --Jon Stewart, on the O'Reilly whore's objection to "Happy Holidays"

U.S. Journalism's Shameful Anniversary
  by Robert Parry at  consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
One year ago, reporter Gary Webb - his life in ruins - killed himself with a handgun. The tragedy made him
the final victim of a long-running cover-up protecting the Reagan-Bush administration's tolerance of drug
trafficking by its client army, the Nicaraguan contras.

But Webb's death also could be blamed on the fecklessness of modern American journalism. The nation's
leading newspapers had driven the 49-year-old father of three to his desperate act rather than admit that
they had bungled one of the biggest stories of the Reagan-Bush era - the contra-cocaine scandal.

Webb might be alive today if the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times
had shown the decency to explain the importance of what the Central Intelligence Agency's inspector
general acknowledged in a two-volume report in 1998.

Dead soldiers shipped as freight
  It's cheaper because there are so many

  Link

 Excerpt:
Dead heroes are supposed to come home with their coffins draped with the American flag -- greeted by a color guard.
But in reality, many are arriving as freight on commercial airliners -- stuffed in the belly of a plane with suitcases and other cargo.

John Holley and his wife, Stacey, were stunned when they found out their son, Matthew,
who died in Iraq last month, would be arriving at Lindbergh Field as freight.

"When someone dies in combat, they need to give them due respect they deserve for the sacrifice they made," said John Holley.

Soldiers Admit to Rape and Murder
  Hearsay from   stlimc.org

 Link

 Excerpt:
The man apologized and said, "You know I'm just back from Iraq and I'm acting a little crazy...
In Iraq we can do whatever. You think they put all that shit on the news? Man ask anybody.
We rape those bitches over there and we take their men and blow their brains out and nobody ever knows."
 

This was written by a cab driver - says he picked these three men up.
Could it be true?   Sure.  A soldier in Iraq only has to worry about his CO and his friends,
and if they don't have a conscience between them they are free to thug to their heart's content.

This is what can happen in war.

Mike Wallace, a force at 87

 Excerpt:
Question: Bush has declined to be interviewed by you. What would you ask him if you had the chance?

Wallace: What in the world prepared you to be the commander in chief of the largest superpower in the world?
In your background, Mr. President, you apparently were incurious. You didn't want to travel. You knew very
little about the military. . . The governor of Texas doesn't have the kind of power that some governors have. . .
Why do you think they nominated you? Do you think that has anything to do with the fact that the country is so fucked up?"

Hi Bart,

Pryor's most memorable scene (for me) - the old SNL skit where he plays the Exorcist priest
and goes nuts when Laraine Newman (Regan) says: "Yo Mama, sews socks that smell"

Cheers

In that same scetch, Reagan levitated the bed and it came down in the wrong place,
causing Richard to chant, "The bed - is on - my foot. The bed - is on - my foot!"

Richard Pryor
 The NYWTimes gets one right

 Link

 Excerpt:
Pryor's brilliant comic imagination and creative use of the blunt cadences of street language were revelations
to most Americans. He did not simply tell stories, he brought them to vivid life, revealing the entire range of
black America's humor, from its folksy rural origins to its raunchier urban expressions.

At the height of his career, in the late 1970's, Mr. Pryor prowled the stage like a restless cat, dispensing what
critics regarded as the most poignant and penetrating comedic view of African-American life ever afforded
the American public. He was volatile yet vulnerable, crass but sensitive, streetwise and cocky but somehow
still diffident and anxious. And he could unleash an astonishing array of dramatic and comic skills to win
acceptance and approval for a kind of stark humor.

The only war ever waged on Christmas has long sice been over and the dollar won!

And the success of this war was measured the other day by me as I went to the grocery/department store
here in this small town I where live and work and lo and Happy Fucking Holidays, all of the cute little Muslim
checkers and clerks had their red trimmed-in-white Holiday (Christmas) stocking caps on and the entire first floor
of this store was filled with Holiday (Christmas) trees and decorations for same and if that was not enough,
the Holiday (Christmas) sale ends on 24 December 2005.  Even the "dreaded" Muslims are cashing in
on the sprit of the season here in the boonies of South Central Java.

I suppose another merchandizing sale in the great Republican marketing scam
aimed at those Americans entirely too fucking stupid to think.

Dude, America is half-drowning in,"Americans entirely too fucking stupid to think."

Democracy dying in Ohio - now with working link

 Link

 Excerpt:
HB3's most publicized provision will require positive identification before casting a vote. But it also opens
voter registration activists to partisan prosecution, exempts electronic voting machines from public scrutiny,
quintuples the cost of citizen-requested statewide recounts and makes it illegal to challenge a presidential
vote count or, indeed, any federal election result in Ohio. When added to the recently passed HB1, which
allows campaign financing to be dominated by the wealthy and by corporations, and along with a Rovian
wish list of GOP attacks on the ballot box, democracy in Ohio could be all but over.

The GOP is ramming similar bills through state legislatures around the US, starting with Georgia and Indiana.
The ID requirements in particular have provoked widespread opposition from newspapers such as the New
York Whore Times. The Times, among others, argues that the ID requirements and the costs associated
with them, constitute an unconstitutional discriminatory poll tax.

I remember watching him on Johnny Carson.
He talked about getting in trouble when he was a kid.

He told the story about the cops calling his dad and telling him they had Richard in jail.
They asked his dad what to do with him. He said, "Let him escape, and shoot him in the back."

Richard was from Peoria, Illinois.
That was about a half hour from where I grew up.

Random Thought...

Probably the most important news from this holiday season is that little Joshua Woods
was singing a Christmas carol when he was crushed by than plane that ran off the runway
in Chicago Thursday.  That most-important fact is making headlines all around the world.

Also important is which song he was singing.
It was Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

DoAn, the original link is with http://www.capitolhillblue.com
They must be at least as reputable as the NYWTimes, but what does that say?

But what they reported sounded like the frightful ramblings of an insecure man-boy who finds himself
in deep water in the dark, having never taken a swimming lesson in his snot-nosed, rich-boy, arrogant life.

Sounds like America's free-market, religiously-insane, supply-side, pre-emptive invader.

Bart, you wrote:

Sorry, but FUCK YOU, Bart.
Until you stop blaming Gore for what the worthless media did to
this country in 2000, you're not much better than they are.

They attacked, and lied about, Gore until they were blue in the face,
and you're doing the same thing. Lazy, cheap-shot bullshit.

For two cents, I'd tell you how I really feel.
Dan Leahy
 

Dude, I can tell you're not related to Patrick because you're a fighter.
Too bad you're wrong about this.

"The media" didn't prevent Gore from using the BIG hammer, which in 2000
was the fact that Der Monkey would do all he could to strip women of their rights.

"The media" didn't tell Gore to run with Lieberworm which, looking back, seems like
a really, really bad decision and his "I love Dick" debate performance proved it.

"The media" didn't hire a "clothing expert" for $10,000 a month to dress our boy,
and if that story is false, why didn't Gore let somebody know about it?.

"The media" didn't force Gore to fight with his pinkies out - and to take the high road
while the Bush bastards were talking every low blow and cheat shot they could find.

"The media" didn't tell Gore to sigh 30 times in the first debate.
"The media" didn't tell Gore to agree with every idiotic thing Bush said in the second debate.

"The media" didn't tell Gore to concede, then unconcede that same night.
Gore, like Kerry, was TOO EAGER to concede and I hate that shit.

"The media" didn't tell Gore to just contest certain counties for a recount, noy all of them.

"The media" didn't tell Gore to stop fighting "for the good of the country."

Gore screwed up half his chances, but fewer than Kerry which is damn faint praise.

You can be angry with me for having an opinion, but each time we tell them "Great campaign,"
that tells them we want them to lose the same way in the next election cycle.

We need to get the message to our fighter in 2008 that we're tired of losing with quiet dignity.
If Gore and Kerry weren't so eager to quit, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I'm tired of playing nice.  Damn f-ing tired.
Gore and Kerry play a decent game of beanbag, but you-know-who has eight years
of battlefield experience and she wants it more than Gore and Kerry did combined.

I want to win - so until something changes - I'm pulling for Hillary.

...and because  bartcop-ism  is nothing if not compassionate,
I forgive you for your clumsy and unwarranted personal attack.

Subject: Pride of Peoria

Bart,

Most of us here in Peoria are proud as Pickles that we can call Richard one of ours.
Sam Kinnison was another from Peoria; maybe there's something here that generates
a comedic backlash against either racism or Fundie absurdity.

It's noteworthy, at least, that today's Peoria Journal Star newspaper made Richard's passing
the front page story, and even included a mention that the current Repub mayor Jim Ardis
actually cast one of two votes a few years back in DENYING that a scant two blocks of
street where Pryor grew up be named after him.

No matter what truths they tell, you can't have them uppity nigras getting any honors, no sir.
Luckily, nationally renowned sculptor Preston Jackson of Peoria is working on a statue of that "crazy n***ger."

Four friends and I went out to a Peoria tap tonight and howled for three hours over his best lines.
My favorite, from Mudbone:  "I understand the white man. I know how to deal with the white man.
That's why I'm in the position I'm in today."

RIP, Richard.
Peoria will always love you.
Danno

Musclehead: Kill the Pulitzer nominee

 Link

 Excerpt:
Musclehead on Monday refused to spare the life of  Tookie Williams, the founder of the Crips gang
who awaited execution after midnight in a case that set off a debate over the possibility of redemption on death row.

Schwarzenegger said he was unconvinced that Williams had had a change of heart, and he was unswayed
by pleas from Hollywood stars and capital punishment foes who said the inmate had made amends by
writing children's books about the dangers of gangs.

"Is Williams' redemption complete and sincere, or is it just a hollow promise?" Musclehead wrote less than
12 hours before the execution. "As long as he's alive, we'll never know," which confused bystanders.

Musclehead has come under fire from members of his own party as too accommodating to liberals
— rejected clemency twice before during his two years in office.

Why should anybody bother to reform?

Once you have a death sentence, you might as well kill every inmate and guard you can,
because no amount of perfect behavior or good deeds means anything to a Republican,
unless you are related to one and then they say, "This case is different."

Plus the whore Associated Press chose not to include in this story the fact that Williams was
nominated for a Noble Prize because facts might cloud the case for the blood-thirsty GOP.

As far as I can tell, with the exception on Klinton's Kronies at the DLC and you, NOBODY likes Hillary.

Actually, Hillary is by far the top choice, but the ultra-left crowd is the noisiest so yes,
Hillary has a real battle on her hands, fighting the left as much as she's fighting the right.
 

Shit, she's a guaranteed LOCK on 08 for the GOP.
Fuck, I might even subscribe to BCR just to hear you rend your tent-shirt when she loses
the primary to some goon like Kerry, and then the Dems go on to implode on election day.

Kerry couldn't even beat Bush, the stupidest crook in all of American history.

Bart, great tribute to the absolute King of comedy.
The "jack off" joke left me in stitches. Absolutely hilarious!!!

I always enjoyed his biting, sardonic wit, and his movies as well (especially "Stir Crazy" and "Silver Streak").
He also had a Saturday-morning live-action series in the mid-'80's called "Pryor's Place" I remember watching.

He was truly a great, and will be missed.
Oh, and by the way, Keep On Hammerin'!!!

The best comedy comes unexpectedly, and a blue-balled young man asking his enraged
father for that particular favor was about as unexpected as any joke I've ever heard.

Maybe most people see Richard as a writer, but his timing and delivery were pure f-ing gold.
Damn, even the voice inflections he did when the Doberman was talking, or the cocaine,
you always immediately bought into it, never saying, "That's silly, dogs can't talk."
Once Richard started talking, you just wanted him to keep talking.

I saw a quote I'd never seen before.
"I put the pipe down, and I swore I wouldn't do any more.
  ...but then the pipe jumped back into my hands."
 

Comedy without rules.

The A.P. is killing our troops?
 I know they're shameless whores, but killers?

 Link

 Excerpt:
The Associated Press has caused some U.S. soldiers to lose their lives.
The terrorists know they cannot defeat us militarily. They understand the only way they can win
is if our military withdraws because the American people stop supporting the war.

Terrorists are trying to get their message across to us, but instead of issuing press releases,
they are killing our troops...The consequence of the AP's coverage of the War on Terror:
they have allowed themselves to become a pawn of our enemy. The terrorists are as cunning
as they are evil, and they have incorporated media coverage as part of their strategy to win the war.

Intuitively, the AP and the rest of the mainstream media understand that the promise or hope for
press coverage influences behavior. After all, every year the public relations industry spends
billions of dollars hoping to position their clients' message in the media."
 

So why isn't the super-rich White House spin machine at least as good as the Medieval cave dwellers?

Fake Wikipedia Post
Man sorry his joke went "horribly wrong"

 Link

 Excerpt:
A man who posted false information on an online encyclopedia linking a prominent journalist
to the Kennedy assassinations says he was playing a trick on a co-worker.

Brian Chase, 38, ended up resigning from his job and apologizing to John Seigenthaler Sr.,
the former publisher of the Tennessean newspaper and founding editorial director of USA Today.

"I knew from the news that Mr. Seigenthaler was looking for who did it, and I did it, so I needed to
let him know in particular that it wasn't anyone out to get him, that it was done as a joke that went
horribly, horribly wrong," Chase was quoted as saying in Sunday editions of The Tennessean.

Chase said he didn't know Wikipedia was used as a serious reference tool.

TV Stuff

Last night, I caught a few minutes of Elton's John's Las Vegas show on NBC.
About half way thru, did ran thru a medly of songs by The Who.
That seemed like a mean trick to pull on his fans.

(Just kidding!)
 

It's not often Leno shows more class than Dave.
Leno respected Richard Pryor during his monolog last night, but Dave never said a word.
Conan was a repeat, and I set the VCR for Kimmel and Craig, but Christ... 

It's not like there's some risk to saying, "We lost the best guy on our team last weekend."
It's not expensive to say, "Nobody ever made me laugh harder than Richard Pryor."
There's no downside to saying, "All comedians wish they were as good as The King."

Even if you didn't like Richard Pryor for some personal reason, he was Richard Pryor!
Saying "the best" was "the best" doesn't take anything away from you.

If you had a nightly jazz TV show on CBS, ...and Miles Davis died...
If you had a nightly NASCAR TV show, ...and Dale Earnhart died... (guessing, sorry...)

I'll bet Dave meant to say something.
I'll bet it slipped his mind and he feels bad about it.
