Bush, Katrina & Trent Lott's House
 by Robert Parry

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
Katrina "was massive in its destruction," Bush told reporters. "It spared nobody. 
Trent Lott had a fantastic house overlooking the bay. I know because I sat in it with he..."

Katrina ripped off the pretense of Bush's folksy style, showing that he remains the son of privilege 
who feels for those like himself and feigns sympathy for others. After Katrina hit, White House 
officials even had trouble getting a vacationing Bush to focus on the magnitude of the disaster.

As tens of thousands of Americans in New Orleans pleaded for rescue and as hundreds of bodies 
rotted in the heat, Bush belatedly agreed to cut short his five-week Texas vacation but still insisted on 
fulfilling speaking engagements in San Diego and Phoenix - where he posed clowning with a gift guitar
- before heading back to Washington.

24 Bodies dumped in Baghdad
 They showed signs of Gonzales

 Link

 Excerpt:
At least two dozen bodies, many bearing signs of Gonzales, were dumped in Bush's Paradise Tuesday,
and the government almost doubled the death toll from clashes this week saying 73 people had died.

Attorney General Alberto Torture met with Iraq's deputy PM and said was to promote "the rule of law."
The Prime Minister's office announced that 50 gunmen loyal to al-Sadr had been killed in clashes with
the Iraqi army, which lost 23 troops.

Subject: re Brittany Murphy and tv crap...

aww come on...

I work in the film industry.
I have done a few shows with Brittany Murphy and she is totally cool and super hot... 
I'm not sure what your point is...

Sometimes I say exactly what I mean.
That was the best picture I've ever seen of her.

as far as Survivor goes...  fuck that garbage.  its fake.

I'm confused about the meaning of "fake."
You mean fake like having 150 bug bites above the waist?
You mean fake like losing 30 pounds in 39 days?
You mean fake like the million dollars doesn't count?
 

HRC... same as survivor...  I want to win too, but its not gonna be with her. 
I don't care what someone elses poll says.  I know about the people around me... 
HRC will never be elected president.

Otherwise, keep swinging!!!

you are still the best site out there and together, 
we are gonna take back our country from these crooks.

SF, thanks, but if our front-runner can't win, who can?

Bart, Seems like Hilarity could speak up now and save 40,000 lives

But, chooses to wait til the time is right, that way the Gods Own Party 
(Hez'Bollah) couldn't possibly attack her,, 

Small enough price to pay 
Yeah sure lol

IrishDave, if she speaks up before the proper time (she's the only one who could)
and becomes the focus of the "anti-America victory" movement and loses,
what will she or we or the 40,000 dead soldiers have gained?

I'm guessing/betting she and Bill know more about the right time 
for a strategic strike than Ol' Okie Bart and Irish Dave and his lol.

I don't think I'm exxaggerating when I say Earth's future is at stake.
Do you think she and Bill aren't taking this seriously?
Do you think it's just a joke to them?

Should she speak up now?    ...to please IrishDave?
Or should they attack at the proper time and win?

Polygamist arrested in Vegas

 usatoday.com

 Excerpt:
Warren Steed Jeffs, head of the nation's largest polygamist sect and one of the FBI's
10 Most Wanted fugitives, was captured in Nevada after a routine traffic stop, cops say.

Jeffs, who had a $100,000 reward hanging over his head, is wanted in Utah and Arizona
on suspicion of arranging marriages between underage girls and older men.
 

The Nevada HP arrested this guy which makes me wonder...

When was the last time the FBI caught anybody?
Can you tell me the last time the FBI arrested a bad guy we've heard of?

Or maybe you could remind him how the families of those who died in Vietnam feel a third of century later,
with still-Communist Vietnam coming into the World Trade Organization, and multinational corporations

Yeah, that's what those 50,000 Americans died for.

20 things we know 5 years later

 crisispapers.org

 Excerpt:
1. The Facts of 9/11. We know that Bush didn't want the public to learn much about 9-11.
Bush&Co. had to be dragged kicking and screaming into agreeing to the 9/11 Commission.
Bush would not testify under oath and would deign to appear only with Cheney by his side.

5. The Downing Street Revelations.  We learned that Bush & Blair agreed to make war on Iraq
in the Spring of 2002. The intelligence, they decided, would be "fixed around the policy" to go to war..

11. Perilously Close to Dictatorship. We know that Bush prefers to rule as an oligarch, so he had
Alberto Torture devise a legal philosophy that permits Bush to ignore laws, disappear U.S. citizens,
authorize torture, spy on citizens - whenever Bush says he's acting as "commander-in-chief" during "wartime.".

Subject: JonBenet

Sorry Bart, no conspiracy here.

This dirt bag was not thrilled about being a Thai bitch in a Thai jail.
So how do you get out? Confess to a high profile crime
you have perved on, but not committed, and get extradited to the US.

You get an all expense paid business class trip to the U.S and by
definition get out of the Thai jail. You did not do it and are
fully prepared to take your "misdemeanor" child porn rap in California
(misdemeanor" child porn is the ultimate oxymoron). You
take your slap on the wrist and in the good old USA sell your sick
perverted Jon Benet fettish to a waiting film maker and laugh
all the way to the bank and this doesn't even include book deals and
talk show circuit.

I'm afraid W and Rove aren't to blame for this one.

Subject: America's Pet Goat

Bush will always be defined by his frozen, deer in the headlights look,
when informed of our country being under attack as he read "My Pet Goat."

There you saw the man he is, and isn't.
He was immobilized and unable to respond.

There was no one to tell him what to do and how to act.
Therefore, he didn't do anything.

FEMA's Prison camps
 How true is all this?

 freedomfiles.org

 Excerpt:
There over 600 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners.
They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are
to be operated by FEMA should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States.

The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a mass of illegal aliens crossed the border,
they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many
military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons.
 

If these 600 prison camps exist, they could also hold "dangerous people" such as Democrats.
Some Americans like sticking to the Constitution "too much" and that threatens this gang of thugs.

Subject: genetics

Bart, you asked:

> Is the percentage of gays equal in all sub-cultures?

I think you've got your heart in the right place, but the science isn't that simple - such an oversimplification
may backfire if the results aren't across-the-board as you're expecting. Me? I wouldn't  expect things to be
that simple. First, genetics are tricky -  assuming homosexuality has a genetic component, there's no reason
to assume such a gene must be consistently expressed across all ethnic groups.  That's like saying
"They say heart disease is genetically  influenced - so to prove this, do Eskimos have the same level of
heart disease as Jews?". Probably not, but that doesn't mean there  isn't a genetic cause, or even influence.

I don't think genetics is "tricky."
I think medical science is like math.

I get that blacks get sickle-cell and whites don't (or not as often) but that tells me that the gay gene
might be 10 % in Group A,  9 % in Group B and 13 % in Group C, but always roughly 10%.
 

Further, unless we're talking about sampling all culturally homogenized subjects - Jews, Eskimos, Japanese,
and so on, living in  the same neighborhood, going to the same schools, and having the same  culture, then you
can't rule out a cultural influence, since homosexuality is inherently self-defined. So a secular WASP may be
more inclined to accept their homosexuality than perhaps a devout Muslim.

All I'm saying is that you're setting up a very shakey standard on this issue.
There may well be a big genetic component to homosexuality, but the test you've proposed
has too many holes in it to be useful - if anything it'll backfire as it makes it too easy to  "prove"
that it's all cultural under this test.

Your fan and honest critic,
Roger in LA
 

I guess the biggest problem is getting people to tell the truth.
Like you hinted, there may be "zero gay Muslims" because they would
presumably lose their 72 virgins in Heaven if they preferred a Muslim dude.

Disaster Relief - for Profit
 He'll do anything to make a profit

 Link

 Excerpt:
Under Bush, whole sectors of the government, and particularly Homeland Security, have been turned into
glorified temp agencies, with essential functions contracted out to private companies. The idea is that
entrepreneurs, driven by the profit motive, are always more efficient than government.

We saw the results in New Orleans: Bush was weak and incompetent in part because the FEMA experts
had fled to the private sector and its technology and infrastructure had become positively retro. In a crisis,
government looks frighteningly inept ( "doing a heckuva job") while the private sector can seem modern
and competent, at least by comparison.

In truth, when it comes to reconstruction, contractors are hardly wizards. "Where has all the money gone?"
ask desperate people from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf Coast. One place a great deal of it has gone is into
major capital expenditures for the private corporations.

Friends and contributors of Bush, with secret, no-bid  contracts with a clause that says they get paid
even if they don't deliver - that is out-and-out stealing money.

This state within a state has been built almost exclusively with money from public contracts,
yet it is all privately owned. Taxpayers have absolutely no control over it.
 

...and nobody will speak up.

       We can't get anything from the whore press,
       and the gelding Democrats are scared to speak.

          "But Bart, you see the Constitution as half shredded...
            while we see the Constitution as half intact..."

Random Thought...

It's been a full year and still they won't say what went wrong with Katrina.

Last September, they said, "We'll investigate and see what went wrong,"
but all we got was a soothing, "There were breakdowns at every level," which says nothing.

Bush sat there and stared at his TV for five days.
Why can't we get a simple explanation of why?

At the time, all we got was, "Stop playing the blame game,"
and we never got anything close to an answer.

Why wasn't Bush screaming, "I want to see trucks there TODAY!" at his aides?
But no, he played golf and ate cake with McCain and pretended he was a country singer.

  "Lookie me, Pickles - I'm playing the gee-tar. Yee-Haw!"
   and then he lifted his leg and farted.

Baghdad Year Zero
 a column from Sept 2004

 Link

 Excerpt:
McCain said, "Iraq is a huge pot of honey that's attracting a lot of flies." The flies McCain was referring to
were the Halliburtons and Bechtels, as well as the venture capitalists who flocked to Iraq in the path cleared
by Bradley Fighting Vehicles and laser-guided bombs. The honey that drew them was not just no-bid contracts
and Iraq's oil wealth but the opportunities offered by a country that had just been cracked wide open

The honey theory of Iraqi reconstruction stems from the most cherished belief of the war's ideological architects:
that greed is good. Not good just for them and their friends but good for humanity, and certainly good for Iraqis.
Greed creates profit, which creates growth, which creates jobs and products and services and everything else
anyone could possibly need or want. The role of good government, then, is to create the optimal conditions for
corporations to pursue their bottomless greed, so that they in turn can meet the needs of the society.
 

But there is no capitalism if there's a clause in your no-bid contract that says you don't have to perform.
If Halliburton was getting paid for every neighborhood with full-time electricity, there would be electricity.

But they get paid secret, huge amounts of black-budget money no matter what.
So why should they provide electricity?
Why buy the cow when the milk is free?

Subject: homosexuality

There are a number of interesting scientific studies out there on the biology of homosexuality. 
One recent article within the last year, for example, reports that a second or third male offspring 
stands a higher chance of being gay than a first male offspring. This relates to how the mother's 
body reacts to the "foreign" male hormones during pregnancy. For that reason, this study wasn't 
able to focus on female homosexuality, but essentially, this further proves that homosexuality is 
biological - not a "choice" or thing that can be changed.

We covered that in a recent Bartcop radio segment.
Science is real and that study proved that being gay isn't a choice.
 

Studies based on cultural factors are much harder to fund in the academic community (either for a 
scientist or a sociologist). Why, for example, would a gay Iranian risk a stoning to help prove a study?

But you're right - there are many many studies that prove homosexuality is biological, but you won't
find those in the press - you have to resort to academic journals (Journal of the American Medical 
Association, for example). Don't be surprised by this, however. I learned in "An Inconvenient Truth" 
that 0% of academic journal articles cast any doubt as to whether global warming is real. 
In the mainstream press, about 50% of articles cast this type of doubt.

Advice to you and your readers that took me years to learn: if you have the opportunity, read peer 
reviewed academic journals (not just the natural, but also social sciences) because you'll find a 
wealth of undisputed information that no one in the press has the stones to report.

Best,
M - New York

Subject: The press and Big Oil

Dear Editors:

As I was driving to get gas for the bargain price of $2.54/gal today, a thought struck me.
If the oil companies can afford to make a profit at this price, how much did they make
at $3.04/gal this entire summer?

It is an absolute travesty that you networks have allowed the Worst President Ever to gouge
the American people in such blatant fashion. They make record profits every quarter, and you are silent.
They are pumping oil from unmetered wells in Iraq, and you are silent.

Remember journalism?
That's where you hold someone accountable by asking tough questions and helping to enlight the citizenry.

When Halliburton received no-bid contracts for Iraq, you were silent.
When Halliburton gouged the taxpayer millions for work they didn't do, silence.
When the buck for Valerie Plame's leaker stopped at the Worst President Ever's desk, you let him go.
Let's not even go into the Iraq war, or I'll overload my ISP's buffer.

Dude, I'll plead guilty to the modem, the smart mouth and the Shirley pictures.
