It was a good start.
In the coming days, I will re-print excerpts from these early emails up to Bartcop's death from leukemia on March 5, 2014, at age 60. (You can click the title to take you to the actual issue/volume).
I wasn't on the very first listserv that Terry published to, but I somehow found him in 1998, during the ludicrous Clinton impeachment by those self-righteous hypocritical windbags in the GOP. But I get ahead of myself.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+The (Bill) Clinton campaign was driven into delirium at the thought of a Clinton-(Pat) Bukkanan showdown in November (1996).Said Clinton, "I might be a skirt-chasing, draft-dodging, dope-smoking KGB agent, but I could expose myself on live TV and still beat a cop-beating, black-hating, immigrant-denying, Nixonian draft-dodger with Nazi leanings."
Don't get too hung up on the fact that Issue #2 was published the day BEFORE Issue #1. Those early days of the internet were very confusing!
2/24/96 - Issue #2
The AP reports today that a student engineer was in control of a freight train that ran out of control and crashed, killing him and another crew member near Red Cliff, Colorado. Investigators say the train was out of control due to serious human error, specifically the failure to apply the brakes in time. "Analysis of the train's computer records show the air-brakes were applied too late to save it," said Larry Kaufman, spokesman for Southern Pacific. Kaufman said the engineer that made the error was a trainee, Wayne Reagan.
Wait a minute. I'm getting some serious Deja Vu. Reagan.....out of control.....serious errors...... train wreck....death.....destruction.....
All that's missing is the $4,000,000,000,000.00 debt................
The GOP claims to have a "big tent," open to all. If this is true, why can't they just stop the hate and have a "big country?"
The right-wing says America should only have ONE language. If this is true, shouldn't Phil Gramm learn English so we can understand what the hell he's saying?
