Paul Krugman: Panic of the Plutocrats (New York Times)
It remains to be seen whether the Occupy Wall Street protests will change America's direction. Yet the protests have already elicited a remarkably hysterical reaction from Wall Street, the super-rich in general, and politicians and pundits who reliably serve the interests of the wealthiest hundredth of a percent.


Ted Rall: Ah, To Be Young And In Hate
Right here and right now, though, the young and the old are on the same side. Though the young are getting screwed the hardest, almost everyone else is getting screwed too. And with 80 percent unemployment, the young have a lot of free time to rise up.


Mark Shields: Republicans Just Want to Fall in Love (Creators Syndicate)
To understand the 2012 Republican presidential contest in the fall of 2011, think of GOP voters as a young maiden writing for advice from a wise elder such as Ann Landers.

"The Complete Interview: A Conversation with Acclaimed Artist Jane Rosen" with Richard Whittaker (Parabola)
Success in the art world is a wildly relative term. And no one would say that Jane Rosen has not been successful. But something happened that took her away from the kind of success she might have found had she continued to pursue her fast start in Manhattan.


Stefany Anne Golberg: Ambrose Bierce's "Devil's Dictionary" at 100 (Smart Set)
CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.

Trivia Question from Yesterday


Who was born Nathaniel Adams Coles?


   Nat 'King' Cole                                                      Source



Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 - February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. Although an accomplished pianist, he owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death.        Source






mj was first, and correct, with:
   The man whose music
  Would soothe the nerves of our guinea pig. The man who did the only Christmas album I can stomach. The man who was part of the Greek chorus in Cat Ballou. The real king, Nat "King" Cole.

Sally said:
   Nat King Cole was born Nathaniel Adams Coles.
  Nat appeared several times on the Ed Sullivan show in the 1950's, and did other prominent gigs as well. Finally, he landed his own show on TV circa 1957, and was quite good. I remember that show very well. Unfortunately, the haters could not stand that a (very) black man was on THEIR television, and dogged the sponsors to withdraw, and shut him down! That being said and done, I think Nat opened the door for so many Black entertainers, who followed him shortly thereafter - and are we glad the did!!

  Nature Boy, who sang his way right into our hearts...
  PS: @Adam, I about choked on my OJ after reading your comment, "'Not to be confused with "The Queen of Choot-spa', Michele 'My husband is not gay!' Bachmann" yesterday morning... Funny! :)

And, Joe S     answered:
   I'm gonna make an educated guess here and say Nat "King" Cole. It seems to make sense to me, but I'm not going to simply go with Nat "King" Cole with out checking the Googles first. So if you'll excuse me for just a minute, I'll be right back. Hang on, I'm gonna put you on hold. Be right back.

  Hello, I'm back. Yes, it appears I am correct in my assumption. The answer is Nat King Cole, one of my favorite singers. One of my favorite songs is Ramblin' Rose. It came out the Summer of 1962 when I was 18.

Campaign To Raise Hunger Awareness

Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono is launching a global campaign to raise money and awareness to help fight childhood hunger and poverty.

The 78-year-old widow of John Lennon is asking that on Nov. 1, at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT), people "take a moment to imagine a nourished and abundant world, where 'the world will live as one.'"

Hard Rock International and WhyHunger are partners with Ono for the campaign called "Imagine There's No Hunger." Various Hard Rock locations will host events on that day aimed at raising awareness.

Sunday would have been Lennon's 71st birthday, and Tuesday is the 40th anniversary of his song "Imagine," which Ono co-produced.

Members of the state Assembly passed the bill by a 74-1 vote on September 10. The state Senate passed it by a 34-2 vote the same day.

Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, a Democrat from Sylmar, sponsored the bill, which former Gov. Arnold $chwarzenegger R-2 Passports) first signed.

Reporter Incites D.C. Riot-To Write About It

American Spectator

A reporter for the American Spectator--who says he "infiltrated" a group of Washington, D.C., protesters "in order to mock and undermine" their cause in his magazine--claims he helped incite a riot at the National Air and Space Museum on Saturday afternoon and was pepper-sprayed in the process.

Patrick Howley, listed on Spectator's online masthead as an assistant editor , described the incident in a post ("Standoff in D.C.") on the publication's website. Howley claims that as the 100 or so protesters--affiliated with the ongoing "Stop the Machine" protest--approached the museum, "all of a sudden liberal shoes started marching less forcefully"--but not him:

     After sneaking past the guard at the first entrance, I found myself trapped in a small entranceway outside the second interior door behind a muscle-bound left-wing fanatic and a heavyset guard. The fanatic shoved the guard and the guard shoved back, hard, sending this comrade -- and, by domino effect, me -- sprawling against the wall. After squeezing myself out from under him, I sprinted toward the door. Then I got hit.

     As far as anyone knew I was part of this cause -- a cause that I had infiltrated the day before in order to mock and undermine in the pages of The American Spectator -- and I wasn't giving up before I had my story. Under a cloud of pepper spray I forced myself into the doors and sprinted blindly across the floor of the Air and Space Museum, drawing the attention of hundreds of stunned khaki-clad tourists (some of whom began snapping off disposable-camera portraits of me). I strained to glance behind me at the dozens of protesters I was sure were backing me up, and then I got hit again, this time with a cold realization: I was the only one who had made it through the doors. As two guards pointed at me and started running, I dodged a circle of gawking old housewives and bolted upstairs.

According to Howley, he was aggressive in the march on the museum because, "in the absence of ideological uniformity ... their only chance, as I saw it, was to push the envelope and go bold.

MNF Becomes AMF

Hank Williams Jr.

Country singer Hank Williams Jr (R-Fistula)., whose theme song was pulled from "Monday Night Football" after he compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, lashed out at the media on Monday with a topical song called "Keep the Change."

The track, which borrows its title and certain themes from another song released by Williams' daughter, Holly, in 2009, was offered as a free download on his website.

Williams sparked an uproar when he appeared on the Fox News Channel show "Fox & Friends" on October 3 and said Obama's pairing with Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner (R-Oompah-Loompah) in a June golf summit was "like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."

He also referred to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as "the enemy." That day, ESPN publicly rebuked Williams and dropped his "All My Rowdy Friends" song as the opening theme for its weekly "Monday Night Football" broadcast.

He subsequently issued a statement saying he was sorry for anyone who took offense, but the Disney-owned sports channel and Williams later said they were parting company after an association of more than 20 years. Williams had introduced "MNF" since 1991 on both ABC and ESPN.

Members of a coalition called "Stand up Chicago" march during a protest down Michigan Ave in Chicago October 10, 2011. Mounting anger over joblessness and income inequality snarled rush-hour traffic in downtown Chicago as hundreds of teachers, religious leaders, union workers and other protesters marched on Monday on Michigan Avenue and gathered outside the Chicago Art Institute where a U.S. futures industry trade group was holding an evening cocktail reception. Five separate "feeder marches" -- which converged into one giant march up Michigan Ave -- were inspired by, but not formally affiliated with, the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in New York last month.

Production Raided By Hungarian SWAT Team

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt might be gunning for a hit with his upcoming horror drama "World War Z," but the Hungarian government would prefer that he not do it with actual weapons.

According to Us Weekly, a SWAT team from Hungary's anti-terrorism department raided one of the film's production warehouses and confiscated 85 fully functional weapons -- the majority of them assault rifles.

According to the magazine, the weapons bore paperwork indicating that they were non-functional, and it's not yet known who is responsible for the snafu.

The guns were reportedly flown in via private plane Monday. An official for the Hungarian government told Us that they were wrapped in a parcel addressed "from a company to an individual."

Actress Sentenced To 90 Lashes & Jail

Marzieh Vafameh

Actress Marzieh Vafamehr has been sentenced to a year in jail and 90 lashes for her role in a film about the limits imposed on artists in the Islamic republic, an Iranian opposition website reported Sunday.

Vafamehr was arrested in July after appearing in "My Tehran for Sale," which came under harsh criticism in conservative circles.

The film, produced in collaboration with Australia, tells the story of a young actress in Tehran whose theatre work is banned by the authorities. She is then forced to lead a secret life in order to express herself artistically.

Vafamehr was released in late July after posting unspecified bail.

Former Miss Iceland Gets $2 Million Reward

James "Whitey" Bulger

A former Miss Iceland who met Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger and his girl friend in California was paid a $2 million reward for the tip that led to Bulger's arrest in June, the Boston Globe said on Sunday.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation paid the reward money to Anna Bjornsdottir, a one-time model and Miss Iceland 1974 who had gotten to know Bulger's girl friend Catherine Greig after the two women both took a shared interest in a local stray cat while the fugitive couple hid out in Santa Monica.

But it was Bjornsdottir, the newspaper reported, who recognized Bulger in a news report this summer while she was back in Reykjavik and called authorities.

After the tip, Bulger and Greig were arrested in June without incident at their Santa Monica apartment building in June. Property records showed they moved into a two-bedroom unit in April 1998, playing $863 a month.

Welcome !


You have reached the Home page of BartCop Entertainment.
Make yourself home, take your shoes off...
Go ahead, scratch it if it itches.

The idea is to have fun.

Do you have something to say?
Anything that increased your blood pressure, or, even better, amused or entertained?

Do you have a great album no one's heard?
How about a favorite TV show, movie, book, play, cartoon, or legal amusement?
A popular artist that just plain pisses you off?
A box set the whole world should own?
Vile, filthy rumors about Republican hypocrites?
Just plain vile, filthy rumors?
This is your place.

In other words, submissions are welcome.
