The Pantheopian Apostles
attack the reporter, John Stossel.
To doubt "global warming" ain't possible
for pantheopian*
apostles,
who place their reliance
on faith
as their "science"
to label that "heretic," Stossel.
They claim there's no doubt in the evidence
that Earth faces warming and pestilence.
The most intense source
of hot-air,
of course,
is their
intellectual flatulence.

(PoliSat.Com Limerick
20010630-01 by Jim Wrenn,
Political Satire Editor at PoliSat.Com
© 2001.) Inspired by the efforts of pantheopian
activists to label ABC-20/20's John Stossel as a scientific heretic for his June
29, 2001 20/20 program ("Messing
with Mother Nature") reporting scientific doubts about "global
warming" theories underpinning the Kyoto Protocol and numerous other
anti-growth, anti-technology proposals. (A June
25, 2001 report in the Washington Post describes criticisms of Stossel's
interviews of school children to demonstrate that schools present such
politically-correct theories to them as articles of faith; a June
27, 2001 Washington Post article describes Stossel's response to such
criticisms.) For a brief explanation of merely a few of the serious,
scientific doubts about, and serious flaws in, the "global warming"
theories touted with religious fervor by Kyoto proponents, go
here. For more about Stossel,

Browser in Wonderland beats Jackson
in Blunderland.
The Judge of the Microsoft creature
said, "Off with its internet feature!"
But higher-court action
proclaimed that Judge Jackson
"performed an illegal procedure."
(PoliSat.Com Limerick
20010629-01 by Jim Wrenn,

Jackson's order requiring Microsoft to divest its internet division on the basis
of the appellate-court finding that Judge Jackson had engaged in "serious
judicial misconduct" in handling the case. See June
29, 2001 report in the Washington Times. (By the way, although I
disagreed with Jackson's ruling from the beginning, I've always preferred
Netscape over Internet Explorer-- Jim Wrenn, Editor.)

The Times simply hasn't reported
the real California shortage.
The L.A. Times
boldly reported:
"Folks doubt there's an energy shortage."
Their claim "It's a ruse"
convincingly proves
for them, common-sense is the shortage.
(PoliSat Limerick

by the June
28, 2001 report in the L.A. Times stating that most Californians think there
really isn't an "energy shortage" and that the current problems are
really caused by corporate manipulations to gouge customers to increase their
profits.

The ACLU in Hawaii has shown it is not
maika`i.*
The ACLU has pretensions
as champ of unpopular minions--
Protector of those
with closed-minded foes
and those facing unfair derision.
However, its Board in Hawaii,
has fired a political volley
by breaking a promise
to ask Clarence Thomas
to join a debate in Hawaii.
Concocting a verbal tsunami,
they likened the man to a Nazi,
a serial killer,
and Anti-Christ figure,
and called him an old Uncle Tommy,
Though most in Hawaii say "No-no"
to slashing with verbalized bolos,**
it's ACLU
by words that it used
has shown its ideas are palaho.***
*
"Maika`i" (mah-ee-kah-ee)
is Hawaiian for "good" or "fine" in the Hawaiian/English
Dictionary.
**
"Bolo" is a large knife similar to a machete.

"Palaho" (pah-lah-hoe)
is Hawaiian for "rotten" in the Hawaiian/English
Dictionary.

Confucius say opera cannot disguise
horror.
Confucius say Jiang singing opera
may show he's a fan of the genre,

cannot hid the credo
of man praising Tiananmen's horror.

by June
26, 2001 "report" by SOHU.Com "news" about Jiang Zemin
singing "O Sole Mio" with Pavarotti at a luncheon in Hong Cong as part
of a singing tour of Hong Cong by Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose
Carreras. On December
29, 2000, "SOHU.Com" received (and, ostensibly needs to cultivate)
Beijing's "approval" to provide internet "news" to the
Chinese people. SOHU.Com also boasts the "best search
engine" for Chinese people to find things on the internet. I wonder
whether SOHU.Com's search-engine would accept submission of PoliSat.Com?

Political Satire Daily Update-01
(a PoliSat Limerick)
The campaign "reform" would
delineate with whom, when and why we associate.
Free speech is our right to communicate
without gov'ment telling us what-to-say,
but campaign "reform"
would alter the norm
on when speech is meant "to coordinate"
"Reform" would require us to moderate
with whom, what and when we communicate
to minimize risks
the Feds could insist
we've shown an intent to "coordinate."
"Reform" to say who can't coordinate
will limit the freedom to explicate
political views
and comments on news
by groups holding viewpoints that resonate.
"Reform" would let gov'ment investigate
with whom, when and why we associate
to advocate views,
and gov'ment could choose
to charge us with plans to "coordinate."
Such reckless reform would attenuate
the government's power to modulate
the tone of debate
and how we berate
the views and behavior of candidates.
Such campaign "reform" would facilitate
a way for the gov'ment to regulate
the speech between groups
as government snoops
on what, when and why they communicate.

The nature of Ted's bill is feigned by
starting its name with McCain.
McCain was a hero, no doubt,
but now he craves law-naming clout
with laws having names
that start with McCain
and gripes when his name is left out.
The health-bill proposal he claims
is his 'cause it starts with his name--
Implying a gesture
by Kennedy-Edwards
to throw their support to McCain.
But that
bill's true nature
is feigned
by starting its name with McCain.

declines to confess
it's Ted's
bill endorsed by McCain.

Says Clinton, his Library's view like
him mixes old with the new.
'Twas yesterday Clinton reviewed
the plans for his Library's view
to mix styles of old
with modern and bold
as he
mixed the old with the new.
That ways of the old and the new,
he mixed is undoubtedly true--
the old "missionary"
and young "visionary"
with Hill'ry for "old" and Lewinsky for
"new."

by a 06-23-01
Dallas Morning News story that during Clinton's meeting in Little Rock

All-hail SoCalADA's, political dadas..
The Hollywood group, SoCalADA*
composed of the top social strata
are having a meeting
beginning this weekend
to spout their political dada.*
Of course we all know their debouch*
will claim Duby's not a Green Bush
and claim he won't care
for water or air
and knocks Mother Earth on her tush.
They'll also say Bush has no synergy
for solving their shortage of energy
because he won't make
the rest of the states
send Green-posing dadas their energy.
But some say they also will pillory
New York's newest Senator, Hillary,
and Lieberman's lust
to say that they must
apply sex and violence filtering.
Regardless of what they may say,
we know "At the end of the day,"
their fav'rite solution
is verbal contusion:
to say what it feels good to say.

Political Satire Daily Update-01
(a PoliSat Limerick)
The taxpayer funding of Sojourner
babble supports eco-terror by pantheist rabble.
It's clear NPR's Mary Sojourner
on what's right and wrong is a slow-learner.
So what was her error?
Applaud eco-terror !
For that, NPR should say "Gojourner."
Her right for her speech to be free
can't justify taxes on me
to fund NPR
to make her a star
or give her a bullhorn for " free."
But Sojourner's merely a symptom
of problems much larger than this one.
Ideas that are bad
don't cease to be bad
regardless of how
well they're done.
Our Bill of Rights' first
guarantee
that speech is a right that is free
does not guarantee
the funding of speech
with taxes on you and on me.
The NPR/PBS shill,
"If we do not do it, who will?"
implies there's a need
for law to decree
their funding from taxpayer tills.
Though some of their work is superb--
like News Hour, Nova and Burns--
the market would pay
enough to defray
the costs for such things to be heard.
And then NPR would have rights
to broadcast that Sojourner tripe,
and I would defend
but also condemn
her stupid misuse of her rights.
(PoliSat Limerick
20010621-01. by Jim Wrenn ©
2001 PoliSat.Com) Inspired
by a June
20, Washington Times report about the indefensibly outrageous use of money
coercively taken from taxpayers by government to fund NPR's broadcast of
idiocies such as those espoused by Mary Sojourner in expressing sympathy and/or
admiration for the tactics of eco-terrorist groups such as the Earth Liberation
Front and the Animal Liberation front. I'd prefer to start a Taxpayer
Liberation Front to free taxpayers from being coerced into supporting such
dangerously stupid tripe. One can access Sojourner's outrageous comments
in the NPR
Archives.

Political Satire Daily Update-01
(a PoliSat Limerick)
The third-rail perhaps is now losing
the power to limit our choosing.
Since Lucas by Forbes has been pummeled,
there's light at the end of the tunnel
that voters won't swallow
a claim that is hollow:
That FICA-tax wasn't a funnel.
There's hope that the biggest fraud ever
is losing its role as a lever
for buying the votes
of elderly folks
by calling them "FICA investors."
It's simple and easy to know
it always was "pay as we go"
and easy to do
when geezers were few,
but now far too many are old.
To buy votes with words that were pleasant
proponents call FICA "investments"
'cause geezer receivers
are eager believers
it ain't current-worker divestment.
However, until expiration
of those in the Great Generation,
we Boomers should pay,
but what should should say?
"We pay you for saving our nation."
As Boomers we need to admit
we know that the numbers won't fit
for taxing the few
to pay me and you
pretending we'd "saved" what we "git."
Don't call future-worker divestment
for Boomers "return on investment,"
'cause rightly they'll say:
"It's 'welfare' we pay,
and not your 'return on investment.' "
As Boomers we need to admit
that welfare's the word that would fit.
The word isn't "nice,"
but our
sacrifice
should be
to not burden our kids.

We know for whom leftists were rootin'
because they mooned Dubya not Putin.
In Europe, the protests are different--
They mooned Bush to show their belligerence,
But did they festoon
their faces or moons?
By looking, you can't tell the difference.
And Clinton, who'd faced many throngs,
agreed that such tactics were wrong.
When asked what he meant

"Its best to show moons in a thong."

Happy Father's Day, Dad!
.
On Father's Day I am so glad
to have time to be with my Dad.
His goal in life:

I'm proud to have sons of my own,
and both into good men have grown.

It's Putin and Dubya or Mutin'

Though experts say Putin is fiendish,

we all can agree
that both would concede
they simply can not speak in English.
Both Putin and Dubya have critics,
who try hard to put them in thickets.
Eschewing false pride,
Bush takes 'em in stride,

by the inexcusably stupid decision by a school suspending a student for placing
a knife in his locker after retrieving it from a friend threatening
suicide. Why don't we put everyone in a straight jacket so no insane

it's lack of access to parental authority, discipline and supervision.
Decades ago when many schools allowed high-school ROTC students to bring rifles
to school there were not enough incidents of criminal use of such weapons to
register even a blip on the national agenda. In those days, parental
discipline was the rule not the exception, and students unambiguously viewed the
teacher as boss rather than as a potential target in the sights of daddy's
lawyer. That was when surveys of principals identified their most serious
problems as students being tardy, talking during classes and chewing gum.)

should warrant a flatulence
tax.

of a policeman to apologize for his flatulence during a drug raid.

D-Day.
(Reprise of PoliSat Limerick)
The Sixth Day of June is a Day
to paraphrase Churchill and say:
If freedom is here
a thousand more years,
that still would be its finest day.
Like no day since freedom's beginning
was so much at risk for so many.
But they overcame
such terror and pain
to give freedom one more beginning.

The Good [and] the Bad and ...
Ridiculous ... made Fox's O'Reilly ubiquitous. (PoliSat Limerick)
Who wrote The
Good ... Bad and ... Ridiculous ...
?
Who's Factor is always punctilious?
Who's on
World Net Daily?
Who's NewsMax unveiling?
Who's called by the Left "supercilious"?
Who always attacks the perfidious?
Who sometimes is quite supercilious?
Who beats Larry King?
Who's everywhere seen?
O'Reilly, who now is ubiquitous.
© 2001 PoliSat
Limerick 20010605-01. Inspired by the June
4, 2001, press release by NewsMax stating that Bill O'Reilly will become a
regular contributor to it's monthly magazine and by the recent tidal-wave of
publicity about O'Reilly and the rise of Fox News relative to other
cable/broadcast news networks. See also, "The
Wisdom of Dan Rather-Blather ... Displayed on O'Reilly's 'The Factor' "
on May 18, 2001. Editor's
Note:"The
Good ... Bad and ... Ridiculous"
is poetic license for Bill O'Reilly's best-selling book, The
Good, the Bad and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life.

Economic Power and Tyranny's Hour.
(PoliSat Limerick)
The folks who opposed trade with China
until it gets gentler and kinder ...
.
Do not seem to know
what makes freedom grow
because they see hist'ry with blinders.
Forget
such political fodder;
then study the ole Magna Carter.
And what was the thing
that made England's King
think yielding some power was smarter?
It wasn't his longing to nurse
new freedoms for better or worse.
He chose to agree
because he could see
how strong was the pow'r of the purse.
But
those against trade still have fear,
'cause freedom was long getting here.
Of course, we all know,
back then things were slow,
so progress took hundreds of years.
But now there are phones and computers
to help them resist the storm troopers
In this modern time,
it won't take much time
for tyranny's rule to be neutered.

The Tee-Ball ovations beat campaign
donations. (PoliSat Limerick)
We're glad Dubya's hosting Tee-Ball
instead of the end-all and be-all
of fund-raising hosting
when Clinton was toasting
his best Chinese donors at Tea Balls.

Our kids misbehaving just prove an old
saying. (PoliSat Limerick)
When Jenna goes drinking with friends
repeating her Dad's youthful sins,
it makes Dubya mad,
but his
Mom and Dad
know grandkids are parents' revenge.

Limerick 20010602-01. Inspired by a May
31, 2001, news report of another alleged underage-drinking incident
involving Jenna Bush.

Did Roosevelt know in advance that
Pearl would be bombed by Japan?
(PoliSat Limerick)
Did Roosevelt know in advance
that Pearl would be bombed by Japan?
De-classified hist'ry
has shown it's no mystery
that he was aware of their plans.
But those who call Roosevelt bless-ed
get angry when this is suggested,
and don't want to know
that decades ago
't'was told by The
Man Called Intrepid.
© 2001 PoliSat
Limerick 20010601-01. Inspired by Inside
the Beltway column by John McCaslin on June 1, 2001, about the reluctance of
some to contemplate whether Roosevelt knew in advance that the Japanese planned
to bomb Pearl Harbor.
**Pan'-thee-oh-pee'-uns
(or pan'-thee-oh'-pee-uns--
I use whichever best fits the rhyme) is a term I coined to describe
the activist philosophy of those exhibiting a worship of nature (pantheism) with
the zealotry of utopians. For more about Pantheopians, go
