'TBH Politoons'

Totally Tubular
The tubularization of politics, or better described as the politicization of tubes, has been accomplished and developed into death and horror for tens of thousands of human souls by the puppet of our current banana republic : Chimpboy.
Mahdi Obeidi, author of "The Bomb in My Garden" states there was no way for a trained nuclear (that's nukeyoular to Chimpboy) scientist to mistake the "irrefutable evidence" of Little Dick Cheney regarding the thousands of tubes made of high strength aluminum, some of which the United States "intelligence" had gotten their little paws on.
These tubes were "only really suited for nuclear weapons programs", Condoleeza Rice, National Security Adviser, said on September 8th, 2002. "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud" she said to terrify an already terrified United States of America. Mr. Obeidi, while peddling his book on C-Span, Sunday October 3rd, 2004, stated one measurement, 81 millimeters versus 131 millimeters, would have shown the 81 millimeter tubes seized by the U.S. intel were an inadequate thickness and were not used by any respectable nuclear scientists to store uranium.
I went to go get a New York Times down in main village and voila!, a TEN-THOUSAND WORD article by David Barstow on the same subject had hit the front page.
Dick Cheney and his thugs and Ms. Rice's creepy staff in fact had been told these tubes were not the thickness used to store uranium, and there are existing memos saying the U.S.'s foremost nuclear experts seriously doubted they were used for nuclear weapons. Talking about flip-flopping. This is flip-flopping on a nuclear level by Chimpboy's regime. And Chimpy followed Kerry's statement in the debate by trying to say 'nukeyoular proliferasshun' was the biggest threat to the world today. Apparently Chimpy doesn't know dick about the subject, or he would have listened to a nuclear expert RE: millimeters can measure thickness, Chimpy.
The experts told Condoleeza the tubes were much more likely to be used to make small artillery rockets you see Iraqi teenagers shooting at American tanks. For some reason, Chimpboy didn't like what he heard from the Condo or the experts in the field, and embraced with open arms the highly disputed theory that the tubes were for nuclear centerfuges, an idea proposed by a scientist in April, 2001. The theory was proposed by a junior analyst at the C.I.A., but his own bosses considered the theory implausible and essentially quelled the theory. But for Condo, the Chimp and Little Dick, this was the kind of shit they wanted to hear. Fuck the experienced experts. Let's use that theory by some young punk at the C.I.A. and scare the U.S. into a conflict his daddy should have finished. It helps show the whole mindset of those hawkish idiots that led us into the quagmire we currently are in up to our eyeballs.
On Sunday, October 3rd, the same day of the NY Times article, Condo was asked about the tubes and she started tap-dancing on the subject, about how she stands by her judgement and the judgement of her primate boss, blahdy blahdy blahdilly bloop (god, don't you get sick of them trying to make excuses for their blatant errors, or more likely blatant diversionary tactics..), even after now there is true irrefutable proof that these tubes were not intended, nor were they even designed for uranium.
How do these people (Condo, Chimpboy, Rumsfeld, and in this case, especially Cheney) get away with all these blatant lies to the American Republic, and the race maintains to be a statistical dead heat? It would seem men like John McCain, Bob Kerry, Chuck Hagel, some of the reasonable moderates of the Republican party, would not stand and defend a sleazebag like Condoleeza Rice. I'd bet Chimpy hates being wrong so much that he lets the horror of war enter in to his vacuous mind without afterthought, then fires people if someone says he's wrong. Getting fired from this regime would be the best thing that could ever happen to any one of them.
It wouldn't be the end of the world for Condo to say, yes, this intel was used in error, we made a mistake, and let's move on. It doesn't take a ten-thousand word article in the New York Times to come out to explain how bad the lies were on this ONE issue of WMD's, and even after a very thorough reporting event, she still says she and Primate-Face were right in their assessment, jeez, they all need some truth therapy.
One of the biggest scores that Kerry made in the first presidential debate was that he admitted he'd made a mistake in the re-authorization of the 87 billion dollar appropriation bill for Iraq (Bush originally opposed it as well), but he copped to it, then said, paraphrasing here, I fucked up, but Chimpboy, you really fucked the U.S. with your bold-faced lies followed by a god-awful war.
I would much rather have a man that can be flexible, be able to improvise, instead of saying things are black and white. Situations have many sides, not just one. Ask any divorce attorney how many versions of the same incident he might get from one splitting family over the course of one divorce, probably more like twenty-five or thirty. Men need to change regarding political situations, so they can rise to the immediate set of factual information.
Maybe Chimpboy needs to go back to Crawford, let the investigations of Halliburton and the Carlyle Group begin, and start preparing the defenses for his and his father's war crimes instead of the next debate. He probably won't go back to Crawford, come to think about it, since The Crawford Gazette, or whatever their news rag down there is, supported our next REAL President, Senator John F. Kerry.
So, Condo has been caught with her pants down once again, along with Cheney's heart fibrillating with this lie. It's just the tip of the iceberg, folks. When Chimpy loses, he's goin' to the pokey, along with Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld et.al. I used to think Ari Fleischer was a dumbass, at least he flew the coup before the barn started to cave.

Viewing Suggestion
'Cargo'
Hi Marty,
I recently finished "Cargo," a short film which is now playing in IFILM.com. Since I'm in aggressive marketing mode, I thought I'd pass the URL onto you. Nothing political about the short, but it's worth checking out if you like undergroundish film.
The more views it gets, the better its chances of getting wider exposure. I think Bartcop readers might dig it…
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks, Mark!
Great work!

Suggested Reading
Registration Fraud
An Excerpt:
Employees of a private voter registration company allege that hundreds, perhaps thousands of voters who may think they are registered will be rudely surprised on election day. The company claims hundreds of registration forms were thrown in the trash.
Anyone who has recently registered or re-registered to vote outside a mall or grocery store or even government building may be affected.
The I-Team has obtained information about an alleged widespread pattern of potential registration fraud aimed at democrats. The focus of the story is a private registration company called Voters Outreach of America, AKA America Votes.
The out-of-state firm has been in Las Vegas for the past few months, registering voters. It employed up to 300 part-time workers and collected hundreds of registrations per day, but former employees of the company say that Voters Outreach of America only wanted Republican registrations.
Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats.
Thanks, Bruce!

The Wall Street Poet
Captain Pork
When Congress adjourns and Congressmen leave Washington to face the folks back home, what will they boast about? Iraq? The economy? Health care? Or, as this poem suggests, something else?
Captain Pork
You may talk of balanced books
And call big spenders schnoocks
When the media is gathered round to hear;
But back where they elect you
Something else makes folks respect you,
It's the goodies you bring home that makes them cheer.
Whether times are bad or good
They want bacon in the 'hood,
And think old Uncle Sam's their local giver.
Any rep who proves a sloth
In the race to tap
this trough
Is soon replaced by one who can deliver.
For it's pork, pork, pork,
The pros all doff their hats to Captain Pork.
About war and peace they'll argue
And debate a trade embargo
But the bottom line is always: "where's my pork?"
Though many call it waste
None won't queue up for a taste,
For legislators this is a no-brainer.
They'll trim approrpriations
To needy foreign nations,
But the pork will pass through any budget strainer.
Be it roads that go nowhere,
Dams and dikes, a country fair,
Or a monrorail that none will ever ride;
It's the universal grease,
"Give me some, you'll get your piece,"
All the well-connected float upon this tide.
For it's pork, pork, pork,
The feasting beast would-be incumbants stalk.
Cut it thick and grab a fork,
No one walks or balks or squalks,
They'll never put a cork in Captain Pork.

Purple Gene Reviews
'The Howling Wolf Story
Documentary movie "THE
HOWLING WOLF STORY" (2003) - Directed by Don McGlynn:
I grew up in West Berkeley, California listening to
all kinds of music on the radio.....Big Mama Thornton
(Hound Dog), Gogi Grant (Wayward Wind), Bill Haley &
the Comets (Rock around the Clock), Fats Domino,
Elvis, Johnny Cash.....but I remember this one blues
record by some guy named Chester HOWLING WOLF Burnett
called "SMOKESTACK LIGHTNIN'" .....amazing sound!
Anyway...I was checking a Movie review groove I was
going with since Mt. St. Helens had started steaming
up in Washington State...I had "KRACKATOA, EAST OF
JAVA" (1969) (STZf) and then I was going to watch
"VOLCANO" (1997) (with Anne Heche and Tommy Lee Jones
and the pop topper "ST. HELENS" (1981) "the coast is
toast"...with Art Carney (honeymooners)and Ron O'Neal
(Superfly)...I was even going to include a snip from
"Black Widow" (1987) with Debra Winger, Dennis Hopper
and Teresa Russell...They meet for the first time in
the ashes and lava of a volcano!!!! This would make a
great thematic review!!!!!!
But I got side-tracked by a little documentary made
last year called "THE HOWLING WOLF STORY" ....about
the Delta and Chicago blues legend Chester Arthur
Burnett...HOWLING WOLF...this was a BIG MAN amongst
GIANTS of music.....The opening scene is a segment of
the teen show called SHINDIG in 1964 and the ROLLING
STONES were the featured guests...but they wouldn't do
the show unless Howling Wolf could perform as
well...this was a toned down WOLF singing to all the
"Little Schoolgirls" doing the FRUG!! I started to
melt with maudlin musical memories watching this guy
who was in my ears at such an early stage in my
life....howlin' and moanin' and ROCKIN' & ROLLIN"!!!
This documentary has great clips of Memphis Slim,
Muddy Water, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, the
Great Willie Dixon and a wonderful live interaction of
a very drunk SON HOUSE being scolded and schooled by
WOLF for throwing his life away to the booze!
One of Howling Wolfs' greatest sadnesses was the fact
that his rigidly religious mother completely disowned
him for singing "the Devils' Music"!! Even though his
stage presence was Outrageous and Bawdy, it was always
a stage "ACT"...in his life he was a temperate and
loyal husband, a good business man and a very fair
employer to all the musicians that he worked with!
I really love this kind of documentary film that gives
a glimpse into the life and social scenes of such
soulful people. The music is the mainstay of the movie
and you have footage of frontrooms and kitchens and
clubs with the raw and unrehearsed sound of the blues
guitars, saxaphones, harmonicas and drums and bass.
Even at the end of his life when he was suffering from
kidney failure, he would perform in places where he
could get dialysis and then go out and scream and roll
around on the stage. He died on the same day he was
born...the 10th!!!!
Purple Gene give the "Howling Wolf Story" 9 guitar
picks out of 10 - even though Chester Arthur Burnett
never used one!
~ PURPLE GENE
Thanks, Purple Gene!

To Endow College Scholarship
Michael Moore
Michael Moore promised to endow a scholarship at California State University, San Marcos, the same campus where administrators canceled his scheduled appearance because of what they called his partisan politics.
The "Fahrenheit 9/11" filmmaker addressed about 10,000 people off campus Tuesday night at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, promising $5,000 per academic year to a student who "stands up the most to the administration of Cal State San Marcos."
The student government raised more than $40,000 to pay for Moore's visit after University President Karen Haynes revoked last month Moore's invitation to the school.
Moore accused her of bowing to Republican pressure. He vowed to donate about $20,000 that he earned from the event to the "hellraiser" scholarship.

Producer Sues for Harassment
O'Really
Fox News Channel traded accusations Wednesday with one of the producers of Bill O'Reilly's show, with the woman alleging that the commentator had phone sex with her against her wishes three times. Fox in a claim of its own dismissed the sexual harassment complaint as a politically motivated extortion attempt.
The woman, Andrea Mackris, is an associate producer on "The O'Reilly Factor," a job she returned to in July after a short stint at CNN.
O'Reilly is Fox News Channel's leading personality, and "The O'Reilly Factor" is the highest-rated program on cable news.
A former White House intern in the first Bush administration, Mackris began working for O'Reilly in April 2000. Her complaint said that the first time she noticed odd behavior by O'Reilly came in 2002, when the Fox host allegedly urged her to use a vibrator after her engagement broke off.

HIV-Positive Sidekick
'Green Arrow'
Along with fighting alien menaces and criminal masterminds, the "Green Arrow" comic book will now feature a sidekick engaged in a more personal struggle - this one against HIV.
It's the first major comic book to deal with the illness, and a dose of hard-edged reality to the usually fanciful world of costumed crime fighters.
In the latest issue of "Green Arrow" set for publication Wednesday, a teenage runaway named Mia - who has been in the care of the title hero for two years - discovers that her time spent as a street-dweller and prostitute has resulted in her picking up the virus.

Remains May Be Moved
Charlie Parker
The American Jazz Museum Board is considering moving jazz musician Charlie Parker's remains to a new grave.
The board voted Tuesday to explore the idea of moving Parker's remains to the 18th and Vine District in Kansas City. The vote was prompted by a recent trash dumping at Lincoln Cemetery, where Parker is buried.
The board favors moving Parker's remains to a mausoleum in a sculpture of Parker at Charlie Parker Memorial Plaza, near the jazz museum.

Kerry and Bush Each Gain in Swing States
Daily Endorsement Tally
With election day nearing, at least 23 newspapers across the country have endorsed a candidate for president. In the latest additions to E&P's exclusive tally, The Oakland Press in Michigan and The Leaf-Chronicle in Clarksville, Tenn., have endorsed resident George W.
