Colombia's 'Narco-Presidente'
   by Jerry Meldon  as seen on consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
The re-election of Colombia's president Alvaro Uribe marked a rare victory for George W. Bush
in South American elections. Uribe gives Bush one regional ally whose country can serve as a base
for challenging Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez. But Uribe also carries with him baggage as a
political leader who tolerates political violence and narco-trafficking by his allies

"But the day ended on a relatively humorous note. I needed rest in order to be mentally prepared.
So I told the agent we're going upstairs, and he reluctantly said okay. Laura wears contacts, and she
was sound asleep. Barney was there. And the agent comes running up and says, "We're under attack.
We need you downstairs," and so there we go, heading straight down to the basement because there's
an incoming unidentified airplane, which is coming toward the White House.  Then the guy says it's a
friendly airplane. And we hustle all the way back upstairs and go to bed...we got a laugh out of it."

Karzai Condemns U.S. Gunfire

 Link

 Excerpt:
Bush puppet President Hamid Karzai on Thursday condemned the use of gunfire by U.S. troops
to suppress Afghans angered by a traffic accident involving a military truck that sparked the
worst riots in the capital since the fall of the Taliban.

Karzai used phrases that left open whether the U.S. troops had fired into a crowd that had gathered
at the scene of Monday's accident, or only over their heads. But he was strongly critical.

"The coalition opened fire, and we strongly condemn that," Karzai said in a national radio address.
 

When his hand-picket puppet condemns America,
 that's trouble for the Murder Monkey.

Reid says he'll Refuse Boxing Tickets

 Link

 Excerpt:
Reversing course and backing down is harry Reid's aignature move. Wednesday, his office
acknowledged that he misstated the ethics rules governing his acceptance of free boxing tickets
and has decided to avoid taking such gifts in the future.

The Nevada senator still believes it was "entirely permissible" for him to accept ringside seats for
three professional boxing matches in 2004 and 2005 from the Nevada Athletic Commission but
has nonetheless decided to avoid doing so in the future, his office said.

"In light of questions that have been raised about the practice, Senator Reid will not accept
these kinds of credentials in the future in order to avoid even the faintest appearance of
impropriety," spokesman Jim Manley said.
 

Is the Governor of Kentucky allowed to go to The Derby?
Is the President allowed to throw out the first pitch on opening day?

If Musclehead attends a movie premier - he should have to pay for tickets?
They nailed Cisneros for Cowboy tickets and accepting a ride to the game.

But it's legal for the Wylie Oil Brothers to give Bush $2M to crush McCain in NY in 2000?

Was the 2004 Election Stolen?
  by RFK Jr.

 Link

 Excerpt:
I spent the evening of the 2004 election wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory
for Kerry, had gotten it so wrong. By midnight, the official tallies showed a decisive lead for Bush -- and the next day,
lacking enough legal evidence to contest the results, Kerry conceded. Republicans derided anyone who expressed
doubts about Bush's victory as nut cases in ''tinfoil hats,'' while the national media, with few exceptions, did little to
question the validity of the election. The WaHoPo immediately dismissed allegations of fraud as ''conspiracy theories,''
(1) and The New York Times declared that ''there is no evidence of vote theft or errors on a large scale.''(2)

 Because both papers are on the BFEE payroll.

But despite the media blackout, indications continued to emerge that something deeply troubling had taken place in 2004.

Subject: pot = cancer?  Not!

Hi Bart:

I didn't need to see that story, because I'd have bet the farm that [pot was harmless.]
"Real" science has been looking at cannabis for around 100 years - a simple 2 by 2 matrix
comparing weed smokers & non-smokers for cancer would have revealed a correlation long ago.

The fact that those who think all pot users should be shot were not whimpering from the mountain-tops,
"Pot causes cancer!" told me all I need to know; I didn't have to look anything up.
There have been *thousands* of studies on the Devil's Own Weed - anyone who says,
"We just don't know if it's a good antidepressant/anti-nauseant/pain-reliever/anti-spasmodic etc.
because there haven't been studies," is either deluded or a flat-out liar.

Masters & slaves, masters & slaves...
 slothrop
 

Dude, years ago the fed did a study on pot, trying desperately to pin a bad rap on God's gift to us.
It was either Nixon or Reagan, and when the report came back it said, "The only difference
between pot smokers and non-pot smokers is their use of pot," which means they found
no harmful effects so they refused to release the study because the truth is a bad thing.

All we know is what got leaked, but once again, the GOP turnd its back on science so they can
"follow God's will," as if God would trust these crazy, lying bastards with anything.

Bush to New York: "GF Yourself"

 Link

 Excerpt:
According to Bush's Homeland Security cronies, New York has no national monuments or icons
- which led to a 40 percent cut in anti-terrorism funding. New Yorkers are seething over the news,
and some are demanding the firing of Homeland Security cromiy Michael Chertoff.

Rep. Peter King (R-Bush fellatist), says Bush had "declared war on New York" with its decision to
reduce anti-terrorism funding by $83 million while increases went to cities like Jacksonville, Fla.,
Louisville, Ky., and Omaha, Neb.  "Why would you cut the No. 1 target in the country by 40 percent?"
said King the fellatist, who demanded an investigation. "How can you possibly justify that?"
 

Omaha got more than Las Vegas, and Las Vegas stands for excessive American fun.
Vegas has 15 of the world's biggest hotels - and Omaha got more money?

New York can't afford protection because Bush gave the super-rich another tax cut.

Too bad the Democrats can't think of a way to take advantage of that fact.

"In 1997 or 1998, George Bush had a meeting with the Uzbek ambassador to the United States,
 Ambassador Safayev, which was actually organized and set up by Kenneth Lay of Enron...
 Karimov is one of the most vicious dictators in the world, a man who is responsible for the
 death of thousands of people. Prisoners are boiled to death in Uzbek jails. And he was a guest
 in the White House in 2002. It's very easy to find photos of George Bush shaking Karimov's hand."

Subject: Alito

Bart, these goddamn sons-a-bitches went along with this meat head-in-chief  and put Alito
on the bench, and now a government employee can't tell someone when the government harms all of America?

Also, I hear that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will not vote for impeachment if the Dems take over.
What the f--k do they stand for???
I'm so mad I wish I could afford to smash this computer.

Yes, the Democrats sold us out (not to mention what they did to women)
with every evil fascist that Bush nominated because they wanted to "be fair."

I wonder if the YearlyKos crowd will ask any tough questions at their fest with Reid and Pelosi,
...or do they only display their rage for the Democratic front-runner?

Hollywood Liberal meets John Kerry

 Link

 Excerpt:
I was invited to attend the Pacific Conference on National Security's meeting at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Century City.
The guest speaker was Senator John Kerry. Actually it was Kerry who invited me through Democratic Daily.com.
Kerry asked a friend of his who was with DD to invite some L.A. Bloggers. Writers from Daily Kos, The Huffington Post,
and DD showed up along with H.L., and we watched Kerry give a speech in which he discussed a wide variety of topics.

Subject: Del Castillo

Hi Bart.

As always, I look forward to reading your web page daily.
The Hammer never sleeps.

From time to time you post Del Castillo dates -- they've always been in the west, so I never thought
I'd have a chance to see them -- but they're playing a free concert here in Pittsburgh -- where I think
you have many readers -- on June 13, 6-7PM, at the main stage of the Art Festival.

I just wanted to spread the good news to the "Yinzers" at Bartcop, should you feel it is appropriate to
post this as a Del Castillo tour update.  You've been telling us about them for years, and I am looking
forward to hearing them.

Wishing you all the best!

Your friend,
Chookie
 

Chookie, when they take a break, tell Rick

that "Bart says hey,"
but don't shake his hand because it'll be really hot.
 

Del Castillo Owns the Night
 Review in the Dallas Morning News

 Link

 Excerpt:
Del Castillo sizzled, delivering tight musicianship, passionate showmanship and an intoxicatingly rhythmic
combination of flamenco, Latin rock, blues and some R&B.  From the opening number to the encore finale,
the band was tireless. Sure, the Del Castillo brothers had to stop and stretch their hands after many flamenco
jams that had them furiously strumming their instruments, but they never lost the energy.

Now combine that with killer songs, most of them culled from Brotherhood.
Watching Del Castillo perform makes you rejoice over independent music.

FBI to Spy on Your Internet Use

 Link

 Excerpt:
The FBI wants Internet providers to retain Web address records for up to two years
to aid investigations into terrorism and pornography, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

The request came during a May 26 meeting between Tortureboy Gonzales and FBI hack Robert Mueller
with top executives at companies like Google Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL.
 

Two things for sure:
They claim they want to fight child porn, but they really want to blackmail anybody who
    has ever visited a web site featuring anything other than lights-out, missionary GOP sex.
    Heavern help a woman who bought a vibrator online.
Google, Microshaft and AOL will sell you out faster than you can say, "McCarthyism."
 

Let's all move to whatever country most closely resembles pre-Bush America.

Pickles Fakes AIDS Compassion
 Trying to paint her husband as human?

 Link

 Excerpt:
Pickles Bush (R-Manslaughter) told a major AIDS conference that more people must
understand how the deadly virus is transmitted, and she called on countries to improve
literacy so their citizens can make better choices.

In a short speech to the U.N. on AIDS, Bush warned that no country can ignore the AIDS crisis,
which the GOP pretended didn't exist until it became a full-blown epidemic, killing "those people."

She said education is "spreading hope" and that the "ABC" model ÷ abstain, be faithful and use condoms
÷ has led to sharp declines in HIV infections. But people still do not properly understand the disease, she said.
 

A disaster for abstinence ideology

 Link

 Excerpt:
Crushing news out of Uganda last week. Bush $1 billion experiment using abstinence to stop HIV has born
its first fruit: In a recent speech, Uganda's AIDS Commissioner announced that HIV infections have almost
doubled in Uganda over the past two years, from 70,000 in 2003 to 130,000 in 2005. And despite this chilling
wake-up call, Bush has empowered Christian right activists to continue to push their abstinence-only agenda at
a UN Special Session on HIV/AIDS, to begin next week. The U.S. delegation is stacked with some of the
very people who contributed to the debacle in Uganda.
 

They don't care about the poor, they don't care about the blacks and they don't care about Africans
It's all about stealing money and staying in power by fooling the religiously-insane.

Subject: some Marines like killing

Bart:

I was in the Marine Corps.

In my unit about 5% of the guys were certifiably nuts.  Another 5% or more joined the military to
get out of criminal problems.  Another large percentage of guys signed up to go fight a war.

Of the certified nut cases, we had one guy who would walk around the barracks at all hours of the night
in full combat dress.  Yeah, at 3:00 AM you might encounter this freak stalking the hallways in his camouflage
uniform, face painted, with a helmet on.  If you were lucky his Bowie knife would still be in its sheath.
If he was tripping on something you might need to do a cajones check (literally) after you encountered him.

Now, I live in San Diego and Marines as well as Special Forces troops are everywhere here.
In some bars you go to you will encounter groups of Marines or others sitting around bragging
about the people they killed, and how they killed them, in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Sure, some of the troops hate Iraq and would do anything to come home.  But, there are
the nutcases in uniform, and they are probably having a great time in the desert right now.

Subject: WTC feedback

Hey, Bart, here's a nice message for you.
Really. Have I ever cussed you out?

I'm guessing no :)
When I see an e-mail from a friend that starts out, "because you're a f-ing moron,"
I generally delete it and try to forget that it was a friend who sent the message.

I'm in my 11th year doing this, and by far, the biggest surprise is the fact that friends aren't able
to have a conversation without one of them being labeled as a f-ing moron by a friend.

Logic tells me to blame my combative style.
I think if someone gets a few e-mail replies from me, they feel we're close and therefore
they're free to speak to me in a matter to which I'm not accustomed.
They bark, I bite, and the war is on.
 

I didn't have any worthwhile response to those photos, compelling as they are, because I was hoping
somebody knowledgeable would answer your request for proof of some sort that they weren't doctored,
although I don't have any reason to think they were (or weren't). It's so easy to do that these days that,
like you, I want to know. Also, I'm no expert on any of these things; I'm just cursed with common sense.

I just took a guess that the two WTC factions are split 50-50.
I wonder what the real numbers are?
 

Will they stage the next fake terrorist attack on July 4?

No, because evil men wouldn't kill innocent people to continue stealing unlimited billions while weilding
unlimited world wide power without any checks or balances.  I wish I had a dime for every e-mail I got
that said "Bush is leaving office in 2009 so why do you think he/they will still be dangerous?"

Greedy oil bastards can't get enough money.
They're not going to say, "We stole $60 trillion dollars, we're rich enough, we can stop now."
 

America bought a used car from Bush, the brakes failed, and their sons were killed (and they blamed Clinton.)
Now they're buying another car from him for their daughters, and they're not even looking under the hood.

Liz Mac
 

Liz, that's one of the best analogies I've ever heard.

Network Dramas Challenge 'The Sopranos'

 Link

 Excerpt:
Now that the network TV season and May sweeps officially have come to an end,
some bits of high praise about the state of things in TV world:

It's no surprise that "The Sopranos" continues to rank as the best drama on television.
What is a bit surprising is how close a fistful of network series came to the HBO show this season
in terms of quality. You can make convincing arguments that "24,""Grey's Anatomy,""Lost,""House"
and "Veronica Mars" each deserve the top ranking.
 

Wait, no "Rescue Me?"  No "The Shield" in there?
That premier of "Rescue Me" proves they haven't missed a beat since that great ending last year.
Like "The Sopranos," "House" and "Veronica Mars," today's newer, better dramas have big laughs.

Some say "The Sopranos" isn't what it used to be, but maybe the competition just got better.

B.I.G.'s lawyers: We didn't lie

 Link

 Excerpt:
The family attorneys responded to remarks from Judge Cooper that she believed
an attorney for the rapper's family had "absolutely deceived" the court.

"Defendant has woven fact, fiction and mischaracterization together in a desperate attempt
to prevent additional discovery of LAPD misconduct," the family lawyers wrote in Tuesday's filing.

Family attorney Perry Sanders said last week that after telling the court last year that he knew nothing
about the informant, he realized that his defense team had been "previously contacted" by the informant.

Sanders said he then "made it clear" to the court about the matter. Family attorneys said they had
originally ignored the informant's claims because he claimed to have been interviewed
multiple times by the LAPD, and there were no references to such interviews in a police file.
 

This keeps getting worse because the LA cops can't tell the truth.
