For transplants, the
latest is transplanting faces.··
··
For surgical transplants the news*
that's the latest
says surgeons are ready for transplanting faces.
For faces the source
is donors, of course--
from dead organ donors they'll harvest the faces.
"This new-face procedure we'll limit," they said,
"to people whose faces are sights others dread.
The candidate lists
will mainly consist
of people appearing politic'lly dead."
To transplant not organs but faces instead
for people whose faces are sights others dread
at first was envisioned
as treatment for Clinton
but Bill said he'd wait 'til they're transplanting
heads.
··
A news
report today is good news for people with faces that are severely disfigured
or otherwise offensive in appearance: *·Transplant
surgeons in Britain are on the verge of being able to transplant the face of an
organ donor to replace the face of a living person. --Jim

Applying the logic of
history's factors...
... to anti-war slogans of Frenchmen and actors.··
The actors and Frenchmen against use of force
say war would increase risks of terror, of course,
so Frenchmen and actors
as warfare detractors
propose "more inspectors" supported by force.
Assume, arguendo, they're right in pedanting*
that war on Saddam would inspire more fanatics
avenging Iraq
by launching attacks
to terrorize us on a scale that's dramatic.
And further assume, arguendo, they're right
inspectors plus force make a noose that is tight,
preventing the noose
from getting too loose
would need long-term presence of forces with might.
Despite recent hist'ry in Middle-East lands
those critics** pretend
they do not understand
that Nine-One-One Terror
was "pay" for our "error"
in stationing forces in Middle-East lands.
To actors and Frenchmen who still want inspections
I'm forced to admit I could favor inspections
that ought to be tried--
In fact, I've described
a plan that's designed for effective
inspections.***···
··
Inspired by the anti-war actors and Frenchmen contending Iraq could be
"peacefully" disarmed by a greatly expanded team of inspectors backed
by armed forces. [*·I'm hereby
coining "pedanting" as a gerund describing what a pedant
does.] [**·The words "those
critics" mean the actors and Frenchmen condemning Bush's insistence that
Saddam Hussein's track record has made it indisputably clear that he will not be
disarmed except through force.] [***·See
the inspection plan I described in my Feb. 6, 2003, Daily
Update.] --Jim

Saddam wants
debate with Bush on his fate.··
Saddam to Dan Rather proposed a debate
with Bush on his plans that Saddam be replaced.

debate take place but that it will be reported exclusively through
PoliSat.Com. Stay tuned to PoliSat.Com for the "Bush versus

Artistically
"stretching" by Clooney reveals that his thinking is loony.··
That "war can't succeed anymore [is our plight],"
says Clooney, whose thinking is blind to the light
that right without might
can never make right
when right is confronted by might without right.
As "Doc" on "E.R." to the top Clooney
zoomed.
"Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" premiered
Clooney's croons.
"Three Kings" mocked attacking
invading Iraqis.
To "stretch" he's begun to produce Clooney Toons.··
··
Inspired by a February
23, 2003, news report of George
Clooney's latest articulation of the defeatist view that we shouldn't use
force against a rogue state run by a sociopathic tyrant possessing weapons of
mass murder because our doing so might anger fanatical terrorists who first
began their continually escalating attacks on Americans as symbols of their
medieval hatred of Western Civilization long before 9-11-- e.g., the 1979
seizure of the American Diplomats in Iran in 1979, repeated kidnappings of
Americans in the Middle East in the early 1980's, the 1983 bombing of the
barracks of U.S. Marines sent to Lebanon by Reagan in an ill-fated, poorly
planned but well-intentioned attempt to provide stability following Israeli
withdrawal, the early-1980's bombing of military personnel in Germany, the 1985
murder of a wheelchair-bound American Jew in the hijacking of the Achille Lauro
cruise ship, the barbaric murder of a U.S. Navy Seal (by pounding him to death
in the face) for the crime of being an American military passenger on a TWA
flight hijacked in Athens in 1985, the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, the
1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassies
in Kenya and Tanzania, the 1999 suicide-crashing of a flight from New York by an
Egyptian pilot, and the 1999 bombing of The Cole. [] --Jim

If humans as
"shields" would think 'stead of feel.·
·
To Baghdad they've traveled with moral aplomb
as shields in Iraq from American bombs,
while blind to the fact
that most in Iraq
would rather be shielded from goons of Saddam.···
··
Inspired by yet another news
story about the misguided souls traveling to Iraq to serve as "human
shields" to "protect" the people of Iraq from American
bombs. Once Saddam's regime collapses or is defeated, are these misguided
souls likely to have their eyes opened? Are they likely to feel shame that
they were protesting in a way that served to perpetuate, rather than terminate,
one of the most brutal dictatorships in history? Naaaa! [] --Jim

An SUV
Pledge to give us an edge.·
·
From Hollywood's preaching I've learned SUVs
are burning more gas than a driver should need
and thereby support
regimes that resort
to funding of terrorists' murderous creeds.
An SUV driver I am, so I pledge,
to stop wasting fuel to give us an edge
in war against terror.
Confessing my error,
I'll stop wasting fuel, I solemnly pledge.
Since "need" is the standard that Hollywood set,
and safety's* a need
by my SUV met,
I'll certainly keep
my own SUV,
but driving for things I don't "need" I'll forget.
I'll not drive to places for things I don't
"need"
like movies where Actors of Conscience are seen
or video stores
or musical stores
or places like Redford's where people can ski.
Since trips to a movie are not for a "need,"
an Actor of Conscience to fans oughta plead:
"To help us fight terror
abstain from the error
of trav'ling to places where movies are seen."··
··
Inspired by the relentless, sanctimonious assault on SUV
drivers by unwitting advocates of a New Utilitarianism. Coming soon-- the
"pledge" SUV drivers will demand that the anti-SUV activists take to
apply to themselves the utilitarian standards they seek to apply to the
activities of other people. Those sanctimonious New Utilitarians waste far
more energy per capita for demonstrably non-essential activities, products,
services, etc. than the SUV drivers at whom they are self-righteously pointing
their fingers. See also Hollywood v. SUVs.
*Despite fraudulent
"statistics" (spouted by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the Hollywood
claque now attacking SUV drivers as "supporters of terror") purporting
to show people are more likely to be injured while riding in an SUV than
smaller vehicles, I know not only from a fundamental understanding of physics
but also from personal experience that my SUV is vastly safer than standard-size
cars, let alone those "Yugo" size cars.
Kennedy says people should not buy SUV's unless they have a
"need" for them-- Notwithstanding his opinion, I consider greater
safety a "need" and don't buy his fraudulent statistics purporting to
show riding in an SUV is more dangerous than riding in a smaller vehicle.
The size, design and stability of my SUV (a 10,000 pound, four-wheel-drive,
wide-track Suburban) has twice saved my family and me from death or
serious injury on the highway.
Are there some SUV's rendered more likely to
"roll over" due to designs allowing greater height without
compensatory increases in width such that they are more likely to "roll
over" after a "blowout" or sudden swerve? Of course.
Are there poorly designed cars making them even more dangerous under such
circumstances? Of course. With respect to SUV's, do such
safety-design issues have anything to do with fuel economy? Of course
not. Do the fuel-economy-driven designs of smaller cars have anything to
do with the reduced level of safety they provide? Of course they do. --Jim

Again Martin
Sheen is venting his spleen.·
·
A headline reports Martin Sheen's made an ad
conveying his wisdom that warfare is bad
and boldly asserting
"Inspections are working,"
and "war" will not "work" on a tyrant
who's bad.
Assume, arguendo, he's right in asserting
inspections Blixeau*
is conducting are "working,"
and then ask him why
Saddam would comply
in ways to assure that inspections keep "working."
Then ask yourself why Martin Sheen cannot figure
the factor that led to inspections configured.
'Twas not demonstrations
or moral persuasion--
Instead, 'twas our soldiers with fingers on triggers.
Then ask Mr. Sheen if he's able to figure
"How long must our soldiers keep fingers on
triggers?"
Then ask him how long
he thinks that Saddam
would "help" if our soldiers took fingers off
triggers?
Then ask if Saddam would assist or confound
inspection of places where weapons abound
if diplomats chimed,
"Inspections need time,"
relieving his fear of our boots on the ground.
Then ask if inspections he now claims "can work"
would ever have started if Bush had preferred
to merely request
the "world" to request
Saddam to disarm with enforcement deferred.··
··
Inspired by a news
report that Martin Sheen has produced a television commercial to tell his
less enlightened fellow Americans: "Don't invade Iraq.
Inspections work; war won't." [*Blixeau

Blixeau, go here.] --Jim

"Our

So-what if we've not
exclaimed 'Saddam stop!' ?
Demanding compliance is 'Not In Our Game.' "

"Our
anti-war symphony, 'Not In Our Name'
tells Bush not to topple Saddam 'In Our Name,'
So-what if our 'symphony'

Protecting his victims is 'Not In Our Game.' "·
··
Inspired by the patently unbalanced, morally contradictory and naive message of
the "Not In Our Name" protestors demonizing Bush's demands that Iraq
disarm without such protestors vigorously and unequivocally demanding that
Saddam immediately comply with Resolution 1441, that he stop the systematic
torture and murder of political opponents, and that he stop diverting funds from
oil sales away from the Iraqi people and toward continuation of his efforts to
maintain, and increase, his WMD programs. How can anyone take one-sided
moral outrage of "Not In Our Name" seriously? [*Red
quotation marks denote paraphrased language conveying the gist of the
message of those invoking the "Not In Our Name" slogan for protesting
Bush's plans to remove Hussein and his WMD by force if Hussein were to continue
refusing to voluntarily do so in compliance with Resolution 1441.] --Jim

It's

When
East Europeans supported us snugly,
Chirac spoke to them in a tone that was ugly,
and then joined Saddam
and Shroeder in song,
who secretly sing as The Ghoul, Bad & Smugly.
However, as singers, they're not without peer.
In fact, if you heard 'em you prob'ly would jeer.
For those who don't fear

Inspired by reports of Chirac's shrill, condescending rudeness to the Eastern
European countries who expressed strong support for the U.S. position on
Iraq. Through highly reliable sources, PoliSat.Com managed to covertly
acquire a copy of one of the secret recording sessions of Shroeder, Hussein and
Chirac practicing their singing as "The Ghoul, the Bad and the
Smugly." Due to the highly experimental nature of these electronic
intercepts by PoliSat.Com, the quality of the audio leaves much to be desired,

Will Franken receive
"affirmation" in radio talks to the nation?·
·
It's rumored the lib'rals are hoping
Al Franken can help 'em in coping
with "right-winger" hosts,
whose ratings can boast
the numbers that justify gloating.
When Franken appeals to the nation
to daily supply "affirmation"

will ratings deserve an ovation?
If Franken succeeds in this calling
'twould be for the lib'rals appalling
because it would mar

Since the views liberals love to hear have long been broadcast by NPR to its
small, but politically loyal, audience, it seems self-evident that between NPR
and the newly proposed "Liberal Radio Network" rumored to feature Al
Franken and other "entertaining" liberals, it will be a zero-sum
gain-- i.e., gains for Franken, et al, will come at the expense of NPR's
listener base, but the "right of center" programs will continue
growing by attracting more listeners from what each side disparagingly calls

Says Clark, Dubya's blare
made France au contraire.·
·
Today, Wesley Clark did assert
contentions that Dubya has erred
in how he approached
the French to propose
Saddam be disarmed not "deterred."
But Wesley's assumption is wrong
for bringing the Frenchmen along.
If Bush had said "Force
requires French support,"
"No Blix," we'd have heard from Saddam.
The French would by now have contended
that sanctions in part must be ended
in hopes to convince
Saddam to permit
inspections he'd not find offensive.
Saddam would continue evading
the sanctions, if any, remaining,
and not before long
he'd prove he's "got Bomb,"
and not need invade to be reigning.
···
··
Inspired by Wesley Clark's respectfully stated, but invalid, criticism of Bush
(today on Meet the Press) for: (1) having told the U.N. that we wanted the
support of the Security Council members for using force against Iraq but would
be willing to proceed without it and (2) having promptly begun assembling
military resources to apply such force. If, in placing the matter before
the U.N., Bush were to have merely expressed a willingness to use force only if
authorized by the Security Council to do so, then by now, Blix still be awaiting
an opportunity to commence "inspections" and France would be proposing
relaxation of sanctions as a carrot to induce Saddam to allow inspections
satisfactory to him. --Jim

The
Letterman "take" on Frenchmen who wait.·
·
The best, most profound entertainer's description
of proof France demands on Iraqi intentions
is Letterman's joke
on yesterday's show
adapted below with poetic invention:
"We must have more evidence," Frenchmen have
nagged,
to authorize putting Saddam in the bag.
The last time they waited
for proof to be sated,
it marched into France with a Swastika
flag..

Political Satire/Commentary
Daily Update #01··©·2003···
The
blindness of those who assert our war-plans caused
"orange alert.".·
·
Our threat-level being at orange alert
is caused, say the critics, by plans to insert
our forces to change
the rule of Hussein.
Let "peacekeepers" lower the threat, they assert.
Assume, arguendo*,
we were to adopt
the "peacekeeper" plan for "containing"
Iraq**
and also assume
they'd promptly exhume
the mass-murder weapons concealed in Iraq.
And then what's the issue we'd have to assess:
How best to continue "containing" the threat?
Saddam would contend
containment should end
'cause weapons destruction had "ended" the threat.
Contending the danger had thus been abridged,
the Weasels*** would
favor containment abridged,
but those who would buy
such pie in the sky
from Brooklyn would probably purchase a bridge.
If we were to then overcome such demands,
we'd still be the target of terrorists' plans
with slogans professing
Iraq we're "oppressing,"
and orange alerts would remain as our plans.
And meanwhile Saddam would be able
to do what before he was able--
Designing "the bomb"
to boost his aplomb,
so Arabs in "streets" would reside in his stable.
And then the world soon would be facing
Saddam as a power embracing
the Arabic lands
in brinkmanship plans
for funds and support for his armaments racing.
The grounds to predict what Saddam would then do
are mere common-sense on what tyrants will do.
The dangers quite plain
were clearly explained
on
twelfth of September in Two-Thousand-Two.****·
··
Inspired by the incredible naivetι of those seriously contending that
our having "contained" the Soviet Union for 50 years is proof we could
"contain" Saddam Hussein's ability and willingness to smuggle
mass-murder weapons to terrorists sharing his hatred of America. Perhaps
if the post-Stalinist Soviet leaders were to have been confident they could have
anonymously inflicted such damage, they would have done so, in which case there
would never have been a Gorbachev or Yeltsin. Why didn't they do so?
Perhaps they lacked the type of sociopathic minds possessed by Hitler, Stalin
and Saddam Hussein. Furthermore, throughout most of those 50 years, the
fact that so few countries adverse to us possessed mass-murder weapons would
have prevented even a sociopathic Soviet leader from realistically expecting to
be able to anonymously inflict such damage. Manifestly, Hussein is
sociopathic and, given the wide proliferation of mass-murder technology in the
21st century, it would be relative easy, and not uncharacteristic, for him to
expect to be able to inflict mass-murder on us anonymously through terrorists.

jargon meaning "for the sake of argument."] [**ee-rock']

Proposing
peace-keepers ignores Srebrenica.·
·
The French and the Germans, who want to
propose
a Blue-Helmet force for Iraq be composed
as U.N. peace-keepers,
ignore Srebrenica,*
where thousands were slaughtered right under their**
nose.
·
··
Inspired by reports that the Germans and French want to propose increasing the
number of "inspectors" in Iraq and "protecting" them with
blue-helmeted U.N. "peacekeepers." Of course, sending a large
force to Iraq is a quite sensible idea, but the French and Germans don't seem to
understand what type of force is needed-- see my February
6, 2003, Daily Update. [*Here's a link
to news archives about the massacre in Srebrenica under the noses of the
blue-helmeted UN "peacekeepers" in Bosnia in 1995; **
The pronoun "their" refers to the Blue-Helmeted U.N. Peacekeepers in
Srebrenica.] --Jim

The French and the
Germans promoting a right to use force without voting.·
·
The French and the Germans approve use of force
without UN voting in favor of force !
You ask what's my source--
It's hist'ry, of course.
In year '99 they were eager for force.
Remember when France craved American force
without the U.N. having authorized force
for bombing the Serbs
so "cleansing" was curbed?
Conveniently, France has forgotten, of course.
UN resolutions on "cleansing," of course
condemned it while failing to authorize force.
The Franco solution?
Enforce resolutions
despite lack of language to authorize force.
Because the U.N. had declined to use force
for ending Milosevic's murderous force,
the Germans and French
said NATO should send
American soldiers to battle that force.
They stoutly contended such force would be just
without the UN having said it's a must
'cause barbarous features
of Serbia's leaders
meant changing regimes for the Serbs was a must.
When "old" Europeans said force was a must,
the Hollywood Left didn't brand it "unjust."
From folks like Sarandon
no ads were demandin'
an answer to "What have the Serbs done to
us"?
Buchannan et al's Isolationist Right,
by strongly objecting to use of our might
in Europe's back yard
or Arabic sod,
at least are consistent, though wrong 'stead of right.
So, therefore, what is it that Dubya should say
to France and to China and Russia today?
"If y'all tie the hands
of U.N. demands,
with allies I'll soon send Saddam on his way."·
··
On
March 24, 1999, the U.S. began bombing Serbia in accordance with requests from
the French, Germans and NATO members without a UN Security
Council resolution authorizing force. The Franco/German rationale was, of
course, that such use of force constituted a lawful method for enforcing a UN
resolution which the UN was unable to enforce by virtue of opposition by Russia
and China as permanent members of the Security Council. --Jim

Daily Update #01··©·2003···
"A spade is a spade" means truth is conveyed.·
·
The outrage the French and the Germans displayed
when Rumsfeld made clear that a spade is a spade*
precludes our reliance
on them against tyrants:
In war, French are lovers and Germans were spayed.··
··
With respect to Rumsfeld's characterization of France and Germany as "old
Europe" and his listing Germany with Libya and Cuba in response to
senatorial requests that he identify countries categorically refusing to aid us
if we attack Iraq, the shrill reactions by France and Germany merely serve to
underscore the validity of his assessment of their views about Iraq in sharp
contrast to the overwhelming majority of other European countries.
Regarding his statements I characterize as "calling a 'spade' a 'spade,'
" see my Daily Update for January 30, 2003.

Deny Helen Thomas her first-question dramas?·
·
For years Helen Thomas enjoyed without hassle
the first-question rights in the press-conference gaggle,
but now she unleashes
not questions but speeches
contending that Bush is a dog by tail waggled.
Though Thomas believes as a pundit she's regal,
she speaks with a breath that's politic'ly fecal
and sings a cappella
with Nelson Mandela
as co-equal heads of the Axis
of Feeble.*
Though fair-minded folks think it's time to recast
the order to change her from first to the last,
it's better not worse
that Helen go first
to taint views she spouts as the views of an ass.·
··
Inspired by continual observations that since Clinton left office, Helen Thomas
has consistently used her first-question status at White House news conferences
to make inane, ad hominem speeches against Bush transparently presented
as questions. *·I used the term "Axis
of Feeble" in my January 31, 2003, Daily Update. --Jim

Advice from the French, who stay on the bench.·
[The French response yesterday to
Powell's speech warrants a reprise of my Jan. 28, 2003 Update, reproduced below.]
·
The French have predictably chimed:
"We need for inspections more time."
They're right when they plead,
"Inspectors proceed,"
but wrong about whom to assign.
With numbers the French are too thrifty--
Instead of a hundred and fifty
inspectors assigned
for weapons to find,
with more, the inspections could end in a jiffy.
A mere hundred-fifty is clearly absurd
except to depend on Saddam Hussein's word.
To find his misdeeds,
we plainly would need
to increase their number by ten to the third.
And what is the other advice we should heed?
To make those inspections effective we'd need
inspectors we've schooled
to use the best tools
and need to be certain they're armed to the teeth.
And what's the right name to assign
to teams that would fit this design?
The best name, of course?
The name of the force
that Rumsfeld for Bush has designed !
