For conduct so
shoddy, a bunk and a potty ..
The sentence for Traficant's conduct so shoddy:
Eight-years in a room with a bunk and a potty !
The Judge let him say
his last-wish today:
He looked to the sky and said, "Beam me up,
Scotty" !.
..
Inspired by the July 30, 2002, sentencing of Ohio Congressman Traficant to eight
years in prison for misuse-of-office convictions. I imagine his final wish
to the Judge would be the same as the final wish in most of his speeches on the
House floor: "Beam me up, Scotty." --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

Did experts in
running the bulls convert to Enronning the bulls? ..
Though Merrill-Lynch ads by tradition are full
of claims they are experts in running the bulls,
they've now lost the flavor
of dusty Gil Favor*
[*Trail
boss in the '50's TV show "Rawhide" featuring Eastwood as "Rowdy
Yates"]
by setting a record Enronning the bulls
.
..
Inspired by a July
29, 2002, news report of claims that Merrill Lynch helped Enron mask some of
its liabilities, which Merrill Lynch denies.

Dead crows in DeeCee now suggest
West-Nile-type mosquitoes on quests,
but that isn't news--
We long-ago knew
DeeCee is attractive to blood-sucking pests.
..
Inspired by a July
29, 2002, Drudge Report that examination of a dead crow found on the
White House lawn led to speculation that mosquitoes carrying the West-Nile virus
may now be in the DeeCee area. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

A U-F-O scare was hysterical

there simply can't be
such things in DeeCee,
where U-F-O means "Up-Front Oracles."
..
Inspired by a news

Washington D.C. but found nothing on arrival.

The good and bad
vibes in the days of our lives..
Though carry-on luggage is time-saving,
when baggage on board began gyrating
attendants demanded
the owner be candid
and show them the cause of the gyrating.
She told them 't'was merely a time-saver
a simple device with a gyrator,
but nevertheless
they made her confess
't'was really a feminine vibrator.
She said, "To explain the vibrations
exposed me to great degradation,
which makes me resort
to going to court
to tell it to all in the nation."
Her suit said the airline should pay 'er
for causing emotional nadir
by making her name
that "thing" and explain
it's merely a surrogate satyr.
..
Inspired by a July
26, 2002, news report about a female airline passenger suing an airline for
humiliating treatment. Detecting suspicious vibrations emanating from her
carry-on baggage, the attendants forced her to open the bag and identify the
battery-operated device that accidentally began vibrating inside the baggage.

Daily Update #20020726-01.©.2002.
Why Bush should
repeal his CBS deal..
C-B-S gets a Bush honoraria:
His Nine-One-One talk to America,
but Bush should re-plan
for C-SPAN 'cause Lamb's
the fairest of all in America.
..
Inspired by a July 25, 2002 news report stating that Bush granted CBS' 60
Minutes II an exclusive interview as his only interview for
broadcast on the anniversary of 9-11. If Bush were to grant an exclusive
interview to any media for that day, he should have granted it to C-SPAN
on two conditions: First, that it be made available to be
simultaneously broadcast by all other media desiring to do so; Second, that the
interview be conducted by Brain Lamb, who has consistently demonstrated over
many years an unsurpassed and unequaled skill in conducting interviews in a
fair-minded manner. It's downright offensive for Bush to have given
such undeserved honor to CBS, the most ideologically biased broadcast network
there is (although ABC is running a close second and the Today Show wing
of NBC is running a close third). --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

Daily Update #20020725-01.©.2002.
Moussaoui's admissions of terrorist missions..
Moussaoui in court has confessed an admission
of joining Al Qaeda for un-disclosed missions,
so Ashcroft's retort
should say to the Court
"His statement removes him from your jurisdiction."
The right way to end this procedural limbo
is simply an order in lawyerly lingo:
"Defendant's admission
of terrorist missions
requires he be transferred directly to GitMo."
..
Moussaoui's in-court admissions today (July 25, 2002) that he had joined Al
Qaeda and was on a mission for Al Qaeda (but not 9-11) was sufficient to establish him as an agent of an alien organization waging criminal warfare against the United States. Such persons belong in
the custody of the Defense Department rather than the judiciary. Evidence reasonably establishing an apprehended person to
be an agent of such criminal-warfare organization should be deemed to divest the courts of jurisdiction over him and instead
vest the Defense Department with authority to maintain custody over him for purposes lawfully consistent with the Department's
goal of successfully waging counter-terror warfare against such organization. Adjudication of due-process rights is a function of
the courts, but waging war against such criminal-warfare organization is a function of the Defense
Department. I think he needs
to enjoy Rumsfeld's hospitality for a long time. This is the same
thing I said on July 19, 2002, when he first attempted to plead
"partly" guilty. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

A sight to be seen
on August Eighteen..
A space-rock will near the Moons orbit
named Two-Thousand-Two, N-Y-Forty
on August Eighteen--
Thank goodness that means
collision with Earth it's avoiding.
..
Inspired by a July
23, 2002, Space.Com News report that on August 18, 2002, an asteroid
estimated to be more than twice the length of a football field will miss the
Earth by a mere 375,000 miles. This is just the most recent example of why
we need to commit resources for a project on the scale of the
Manhattan-Project to detect these objects and develop ways to destroy or deflect
those posing a risk of colliding with earth. For my most-recent
rant on this subject, click here. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

The Brits say
demand/supply blunders have led to a shortage of plumbers..
In Britain, to separate wheat from the chaff,
the schools are now teaching their lasses and lads
that experts perceive
the Brits direly need
more plumbers instead of more "media" grads.
But we who know hist'ry don't wonder
what caused this demand/supply blunder--
The "Yanks" are at fault
'cause Watergate taught
it's fame for the media, jail for the plumbers.
..
Inspired by a July
21, 2002, Netscape/AnaNova News Report that education experts in England
are urging the school system to encourage more students to choose vocational
rather than academic careers on the basis of their findings that England needs
more "plumbers" and fewer "media" graduates. --Jim Wrenn,

The Little Rock Zoo
and a Liebrary
too !..
The efforts by Bubba have broken taboos
for Library funds for a timely debut
including of course
a suitable source:
The fees paid for touring the Little Rock Zoo.
..
Inspired by a news story on hurtles confronted and overcome in process of
planning and constructing the official Clinton Library scheduled to open in
November, 2004. Remaining to be resolved is litigation over the legality
of Little Rock's funding the acquisition and donation of land for the Clinton
Library by floating bonds to be repaid with fees for admissions to the city's
zoo, golf course and fitness center. See the July
19, 2002, Washington Times article by Frank J. Murray, which also notes
that "The Clinton library project has been widely lampooned on the
Internet, where satire runs the gamut from a book
called 'The
Clinton
Liebrary
[Book]'
to depicting a ramshackle trailer in the path of a tornado...." (Links/Color

From Hill'ry to
Russ... a slug, not a buss..
To Hill'ry, the plea came from Russ
to stay on the C-F-R Bus.
Ignoring his babble,
she told him she'd travel
on PAC-jets instead of his bus.
..
Inspired by a July 19, 2002, NY Daily News report that Hillary sternly rebuked
Russ Feingold for demanding that she comply with his interpretation of
recently-enacted Campaign Finance "Reform" legislation. Holding
my nose at being somewhat on the same side as Senator Clinton, I look forward to
opportunities (before, during and after elections) to violate the patently
unconstitutional Campaign Finance "Reform" legislation by expressing
my opinions in contravention of its attempts to ration free speech. It's
indefensible that in "the land of the free and the home of the brave"
Congress has enacted legislation in the guise of "Reform" that in
effect makes campaign-law lawyers the Priests of Political Speech with
government bureaucrats as the Cardinals of Campaigns and Government as God
of the Church of Speech. For more of my rants against such
unconstitutional laws, go here. --Jim Wrenn,

While Bill

the Hardball is swatted by Hannity/Colmes..
Since
we said M-S-N-B-C
with Phil can't beat Bill on TeeVee,
we're glad to announce
O'Reilly has trounced
Phil Donahue, Prince of PeeCee.
Though Matthews once tried to atone
for partisan views of his own,
the old Chris is back
as partisan hack,
whose Hardball was swatted by Hannity/Colmes.
..
Inspired by a July
17, 2002, report*
that O'Reilly clobbered MSBNC's much-vaunted re-launching of Phil Donahue as a
political talking head and that Hannity & Colmes swatted Hardball out
of the park-- thanks, in part, to Chris Matthews' nearly-complete re-emergence
as a partisan hack. Also inspired by a desire to gloat that on April 3,
2002, in response to MSNBC's announcement that it had hired Phil Donahue to host
a program opposite O'Reilly, I predicted the Prince of PeeCee would simply be
more fodder for O'Reilly--see http://polisat.com/du2002/du020430.htm#20020403-01. --Jim

Said Gephardt, "It's really a shame

but Gephardt procured
a loan unsecured
in banking with merely his name.
..
Inspired by a July
12, 2002, report illustrating the patent hypocrisy of Richard
Gephardt in condemning Dubya's loan for acquiring stock in an oil company, which
loan pledged the stock as collateral, as not being the kind of loan that
would ordinarily be made by a bank despite the fact that Gephardt
procured an unsecured $125,000 loan in the late 1980's from Federal City
Bank (founded by Terry McAuliffe and other political operatives), which bank
lost $1.5 million in its first three years in business and in 1991 was cited by
federal regulators for "unsound banking practices" and forced to raise
more capital to avoid being shut-down. --Jim

Daily Update #20020709-01.©.2002.
How "but"
can divest a meaning expressed..
When Muslim fanatics do evil
for goals that are clearly medieval,
the moderate Muslims
should follow a custom
of promptly condemning such evil.
And likewise when cops go too far
with conduct extreme or bizarre,
the rest of the cops
from bottom to top
should label such conduct bizarre.
..
Inspired by observation of a video tape (and related reports)
ostensibly showing gratuitous use of excessive force by some LA police officers
in handling a handcuffed suspect. When non-fanatical Muslims express
condemnation of terrorism followed by "but" to introduce additional
comments, the effect is often to dilute the power of the condemnation.
Similarly, when decent police officers and officials express condemnation of
ostensibly wrongful conduct by particular police officers followed by
"but" to introduce additional comments implying an assumption that
such conduct may have been justified by other, not-yet-understood attendant
circumstances, the effect is to dilute the power of the condemnation. The
proper course is to express unqualified condemnation of such forms of
conduct. It's disrespectful to the vast majority of decent police officers
to imply that we hold low expectations for their powers of self-control under
circumstance in which untrained people would yield to impulses toward excessive
conduct.

Modern-day
dinosaurs..
The Pantheopians*
and Greenpeace *[panth-ee-oh-pee-uns
(defined here)]
want Man to commit to a decrease**
in people-come-first
control of the Earth
to save Mother Earth and her species.
For all but a thousandth percent
of all the extinction events
for all nomenclatures
't'was "kind" Mother Nature
that caused such extinction events.
If dinosaur species evolved
with brains for a high-tech resolve
to learn to control
what Nature unfolds,
by now they'd have gone to the stars.
But trusting their fate to the Earth
produced the great dinosaur dearth,
which made the way clear
for Man to appear
to master, not worship, the Earth.
But dinosaur-species descendants***
want dinosaur-thinking ascendant.
They'd worship the Earth
'til Man becomes dearth
with Nature, not Man, in ascendance.
Inspired by the latest pantheopian propaganda in the form of a July 6, 2002, "report" in the London-based
Guardian Unlimited Observer [see ** below] that "scientists" predict the activities of "modern man" will produce a global catastrophe "by 2050"
unless, of course, "modern man" were to accede to the political agendas of Greenpeace, the WWF, Kyoto proponents,
etc./ad-nauseam.
Such pantheistic groups are the modern-day intellectual descendants of
dinosaurs--the last species to dominate the planet by remaining at the mercy of, rather than achieving control over, Mother Nature.
If dinosaurs were to have evolved better brains and developed a high-tech society determined to exploit Nature for their benefit rather than remaining at
Nature's mercy, and if they were to have continued such high-tech advance over objections of philosophies exemplified by today's
pantheopians, they could have timely perceived, and developed high-tech defenses against, the
real threat to their existence: Mother Nature-- i.e., asteroids and comets.
While we waste countless billions on expensive, corrosive substitutes for Freon in
mindless obedience to the bogus theory that such coolants, rather than Nature, significantly affect the ozone layer,
and while we also waste additional, countless billions in the form of additional costs imposed by compliance with the bogus theory that human
activities, rather than countless other variables, determine when, or whether,
the global climate warms or cools, we're spending a paltry few million a year to identify
and track asteroids and comets likely to impact Earth and thereby cause real
catastrophes.
Although statistical analysis suggests that impacts of objects large enough to cause widespread extinction may be unlikely to occur more often than millions
of years apart, recent analysis indicates that impacts of much smaller objects (i.e., those "only" large enough
for the destructive force of their impacts to be measurable merely as multiples of nuclear
explosions) may well occur as often as once every hundred years or so.
Since the 1908 multi-megaton impact in Siberia (which would have destroyed New York City had it occurred a mere twelve
hours earlier), we've had several "close calls," the latest of which was a football-field-size asteroid that missed Earth by a mere
75,000 miles on June 14, 2002-- See my June
21, Daily Update about that event. It's already almost a hundred years since the multi-megaton comet/asteroid impact in Siberia in
1908, so we may well have
only a few decades (if that long) before the next multi-megaton impact.
Thus, the world needs a Manhattan-project level of commitment of money, resources and expertise to develop high-tech ways to detect such objects on collision courses with
Earth and to destroy or deflect them-- See "T-Minus 7 and
Counting." --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com..

.**.
See http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,750783,00.html--
a propagandistic July 6, 2002, "report" in the London-based Guardian
Unlimited Observer that "scientists" predict the activities
of "modern man" will produce global catastrophe "by 2050" unless,
of course, "modern man" were to accede to the political agendas of the
World Wildlife Federation, Greenpeace, and other, similar pantheopian
ideologies.
.***.
Today's pantheopian activists (i.e.,
Greenpeace, WWF, Peta, ELF, ALF, the Sierra Club, Kyoto proponents, Priests of
the Greenhouse Beliefs, etc., ad nauseam) are the intellectual
descendants of the dinosaurs in that they prefer that "modern man"
trust his fate to nature (as did the dinosaurs) rather than attempting to
dominate, and overcome, nature, which is far more dangerous to mankind than vice
versa. All but the most insignificant percentage of extinctions were
caused by Nature, and all dramatic changes in the Earth's climate have been
caused by Nature..

Perfection in

The folks who demand with indignant dissension
a right to perfection in terror prevention
are lacking perception
that perfect protection
would leave us with freedoms in total suspension.

What it means to be an
"American."..
(7-3-02 updated reprise of last
year's Update for 7-4-01)
Before July 4th celebration,
let's ask who we'd call "real Americans"
'cause some of us fear
those naturalized here
as though they're not really "Americans."
A few think the place of one's birth
is how we should measure one's worth.
Subliminal ways
are how they convey
"We better since we were here first."
But being American means
much more than the source of our genes.
It's better defined
by hopes in the minds
of those who came here to be free.
..
In celebrating the first Fourth of July since September 11, which
justifies our applying greater scrutiny to foreigners entering our country, it's
useful to remind ourselves that immigrants made the USA the greatest
civilization in all of human history because unlike virtually every other
country, being "American" is a state of mind more than a condition of
birth. I've often observed a better understanding of being an
"American" in the behavior of naturalized citizens I know than in many
natural-born citizens I know. --Jim

Support for
restrictions on tailpipe emissions..
A law so the Left-Coast inhales right
would limit emissions from tailpipes,
but if it's enforced
we all would rejoice
at silence from Baldwin and Cruise-types.
..
Inspired by a July
2, 2002, Yahoo/L.A. Times news report that the California legislature has
proposed severe restrictions on tailpipe emissions. Remember, every cloud
has a silver lining. See also the July 1, 2002, Daily Update "From me
not a nickel for Cruise to launch missiles." at polisat.com/du2002/du020731.htm#20020701-01.

From me not a
nickel for Cruise to launch missiles...
Like many whose brain is no more than a face,
["My country]", says Cruise, "[is a terrible
place ...
a country asunder,
so Nic is Down Under
to bring-up our kids in a much better place.]"*
Like common-sense folk who inhabit our land,
who stop feeding dogs who start biting their hands,
I've made a decision
that Cruise's derision
means henceforth my money won't enter his hands.
..
Inspired by a July 1, 2002, Fox News report of comments
by Tom Cruise about America to
a British newspaper, the Daily Express. Since he chooses to
exercise his free speech to trash America, I choose to exercise my economic
freedom to minimize the risks of any money I spend reaching his pocket.
When entertainers choose to make their political views public and indulge the narcissistic
delusion that their economic success and power manifest public acceptance of
their sophomoric diatribes, Americans with common sense ought to stop
patronizing them just as they would stop feeding the dogs that begin biting
their hands. *This
is my paraphrasing of the gist of Cruise's comments to the Daily Express
as reported by Fox News. According to that report, Cruise described
America as "terrifying" and said he's counting on his ex-wife, Nicole
Kidman, to raise their children in Australia because he believes America not to
be a suitable place to raise children. --Jim
