February 28, 2001 Daily Update-01

Can Clinton eschew getting into the
news? (PoliSat Limerick)
When Clinton expressed a new view:
"I want to get out of the news,"
Clinphonically
speaking,
we know his real meaning:
He wants to "get out of the noose."
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010228-01) Inspired by a 02-28-01
Fox News report that Clinton, in his 02-28-01 speech to media executives
sponsored by Variety magazine, said, "I want to get out of the news."

To start a new era, reprise Yogi Berra.
(PoliSat Limerick)
Tonight Bush began a new era:
'Though critics expected more errors,
Chris Matthews said, "Gosh,
he displayed gravitas
by quoting that sage, Yogi Berra."
In making this speech Dubya gave it
the way Yogi Berra would say it.
"When what you've approached
is a fork in the road,
then the right thing to do is to take it."
When Bush asked for civil debating,
and offered political mating,
Congressional toads
were like forks in the road
who clearly by Dubya were taken.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010227-01) Inspired by watching Bush's speech
tonight to the joint session of Congress and the post-speech commentary on Fox
News and on MSNBC.

With hand-counts completed, Gore still
is defeated. (PoliSat Limerick)
Two newspapers made an announcement today:
Their "undervote" hand-count in Miami-Dade
made Gore forces glum
because Dubya still won
when hand-counts were finished in Miami-Dade.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010226-01) Inspired by 02-26-02
Fox News report that on Feb. 26, 2001, the Miami Herald, Knight-Ridder and
USA Today announced that they had conducted a complete hand-count of the "undervote"
ballots in Miami-Dade using the "most liberal" standard and that such
total gave Gore a net increase of only 49 votes, which were insufficient to make
him the winner.

To claim global warming, they'll skew
what is normal. (PoliSat Limerick)
The folks who proclaim global warming
say Kilimanjaro shows warming.
To "prove" what they fear,
they compare the wrong years
and conceal that they've skewed what is normal.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010225-01) Inspired by article
in JunkScience on 02-25-01 explaining how
global-warming proponents skewed the data by contrasting the 1997 Kilimanjaro ice cap with the 1983
ice cap rather than the 1976 ice cap to support their claims. See the illustration
below, which I adapted
from pictures showing the ice caps in 1976, 1983 and 1997 to illustrate the
scientifically bogus nature of the claim that "global warming" is
melting the Kilimanjaro ice cap.

Says Hill'ry, "I'm shocked"
there were deals on the block. (PoliSat
Limerick)
I'm shocked that my husband, Slick Willie
commuted the terms of Hasidics.
I cannot be blamed
'cause I merely arranged
and attended the meeting with Willie.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010224-01) Inspired by 02-23-01
Fox News report that Hillary Clinton said she "did not play
any role whatsoever" in Bill Clinton's granting of
clemency to the New Square con men on request of their representatives because
she "only" arranged, and attended, a special meeting with him for
their representatives to plead for clemency for the con men. What
"is" the meaning of "whatsoever"?

George Dubya tells how to avoid foot
'n' mouth. (PoliSat Limerick)
When Duya was questioned on how
it's best to avoid foot 'n' mouth,
he sounded quite breezy
in saying it's easy:
"From England don't buy any cows."
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010223-01) Although Bush did not make the
statement attributed to him by this limerick, the 02-23-01
Fox News report about the Bush/Blair press conference following their joint
meeting at Camp David reminded me that England, like Dubya, is struggling with
foot 'n' mouth.

Straddles on cattle beat post-pardon
battles. (PoliSat Limerick)
I'm shocked that my brother, Hugh Rodham
got fees for that drug-dealer pardon.
I told him that straddles
on futures in cattle
go straight to the top from the bottom.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010222-01) Inspired by Hillary
Clinton's official statement expressing shock that her brother, Hugh Rodham,
received contingent fees for the granting of presidential pardons to a drug
dealer and con artist.
February 21, 2001 Daily Update-01

Slick Willie denies it's disgraceful
for pardons to show that he's grateful.
(PoliSat Limerick)
I heard former President Carter
describe as "disgraceful" my pardons,
but I thought it graceful
to show I was grateful
for good-money paid for those pardons.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010221-01) Inspired by 02-21-01
Fox News report that Jimmy Carter described as "disgraceful"
Clinton's issuance of pardons not recommended by the Justice Department.
February 20, 2001 Daily Update-01 © 2001
Please save our tress so that
wild-fires can feed. (PoliSat Limerick)
We hear pantheopeans scream
that Bush will let bus'ness clear trees
on federal lands
and mess-up their plans
for wildfires to clear 'em for free.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010220-01) Inspired by 02-20-01
Fox News report that pantheopeans such as The
Wilderness Society strenuously object to Bush's plans to allow logging, which
will reduce overgrowth and conditions of the type that fed the huge wildfires
that burned hundreds of thousands of acres and homes and buildings in Los Alamos
in 1999 and 2000.

Are too many limericks about William
Clinton? (PoliSat Limerick)
Each day when I author a limerick,
I try not to write about Clinton,
but limericks like elves
appear by themselves,
and most spring from conduct by Clinton.

Pardons for sale or rent, Lincoln
Bedroom is no longer for rent. (PoliSat
Limerick)
To prove the Rich pardon a sale,
they'll prove through a Swiss money-trail
the gift to my fund
was a real smoking gun,
but that doesn't prove I inhaled.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010218-01) Inspired by 02-18-01
Fox News report about Clinton's New York Times article explaining why
donations by Denise Rich did not influence his decision to pardon her
ex-husband, Marc Rich.

The lib'rals like stats so much better than facts.
(PoliSat Limerick)
The lib'rals are stressed to the max
that census-counts only state facts.
They'd rather add guessing
by people professing
that stats are much better than facts.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010217-01) Inspired by 02-17-01
Fox News report that some politicians object to Commerce Secretary Don Evans'
stripped the Census Bureau of authority to adjust the census count by making
statistical adjustments.

Will Hill'ry soon gripe about Mary Jo
White? (PoliSat Limerick)
We're waiting for Hill'ry to gripe
that Clinton's appointee named White
by checking his pardons
is leading an ardent
conspiracy run from the right.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010216-01) Inspired by 02-15-01
Fox News report about Manhattan U.S. Attorney, Mary Jo White, whom Clinton

The Senate approves the eight-million
for Hill'ry's book to be written. (PoliSat
Limerick)
Eight-million from Simon & Shuster
for Hill'ry got Senate approval.
Eight-million's quite rare,
but clearly it's fair,
'cause liers sell better than truthers.
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010215-01) Inspired by 02-15-01
Fox News report that the Senate approved the $8 million advance to Hillary
for her yet-to-be-written book about her 8 years at the White House. (A

Will Clinton's "Good Fellas"
become his "protectors"?
(PoliSat Limerick)
My pard'ning of many Good Fellas
made cowardly folks at Pain-Webber
refuse to hire me
to give them a speech,
but maybe they'll buy some "protection."
© 2001 (PoliSat Limerick 20010214-01) Inspired by 02-14-01
Fox News report that UBS Warburg, the parent company of Paine-Webber,
reversed its prior decision to hire Clinton for a speech.

My new college course as Professor
Green Gore: (PoliSat
Limerick)
The college-type lectures I've given,
"Community-Building Intentions,"
show how
to be "fair"--
i.e., say
that you "care,"
the same way I cared for my tenants.
I always have helped the downtrodden,
but my tenants acted so rotten.
They dared to complain
about clogs in their drains,
so, read-on in case you've forgotten:
**
Some bad
news has come to the fore
disputing that I'm a Green Gore
But clearly it's false
to say it's my fault
or that I don't care for the poor.
My tenants have called me slum-Goring
and claim I invented slum-lording
They claim I don't care
and don't do repair
'cause rent-money I have been hording.
I swear that I just didn't know
that each time my tenants would
"go,"
They suffered in slush
'cause after each flush,
the toilet would soon overflow.
And then as though that ain't enough,
the cleanup was always so tough,
'Cause when they got up
to clean up the muck,
they found that the sink had backed
up.
When E-P-A checked-out the lumps,
and OSHA examined their rumps,
The experts opined
that I should be fined
for causing such hazardous dumps.
(**We
originally published this set of limericks titled, "Green
Gore," on June 4, 2000.)

Fox News report that Al Gore has now begun a series of college lectures in
Tennessee on "Community Building," which reminded me of my previous

Tennessee property.

Bill Clinton knows as a con he's a
pro. (PoliSat Limerick)
I'll say that I knew all along
a high-dollar penthouse was wrong.

Chairman Purcell takes the blame for
hiring the Man with No Shame. (PoliSat

To Clinton says Dubya, "I won't

Dueling Limericks between Gore and
Clinton.
You claim that the reason I lost
was not letting you be the boss
of how I campaigned
and dealt with your name,
but you were a big albatross.
You call me a big albatross
and claim I'm the reason you lost,
but your type of speech
put your list'ners to sleep
as though they had watched growing moss.
Although I'm incredibly boring,
and most of my list'ners are snoring,
at least they are sure
I'm not immature
and not still obsessed about scoring.
You claim my obsession with scoring
restrained your political whoring,
but single moms needed
vicarious dreaming--
they're doormats for guys who are scoring.

A limerick for Reagan's birthday.
(PoliSat Limerick)
The folks who said Ron's brain was small
were quick to just laugh and guffaw
especially when
he said in Berlin
to Gorbechev, "Tear down this wall."
Those same folks were also aghast
and claimed he'd returned to the past
the time that he said
when speaking of Reds,
"The Soviet Empire won't last."
They called him a man of the past
and made him the butt of their laughs,
but when the Wall fell,
then Empire as well,
I'm thankful he had the last laugh
