Fourth
of July Weekend 2009 Inspires Tribute and Thanks to Troops for Courage,
Sacrifices and Successes in Iraq and Afghanistan.·
By Jim
Wrenn,
Editor at PoliSat.Com.
July 2, 2009--
Fourth of July Weekend 2009 inspires tributes and thanks to our troops for
courage, sacrifices and successes in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
What follows is but one example of such thanks felt and tribute paid to our
troops in the hearts and minds of Americans:
When
Freedom's at Peace on a Fourth of July then
pure Celebration should blanket our skies.
But now while our soldiers are risking their lives, and many
so bravely for freedom have died,
we owe it to them on this Fourth of July
to show them our thanks for their noblest of lives.
So
little they ask for so much that they give
so we may in freedom continue to live, that
more than just "thank you" to them we must give. The
"more" they would want is not "something" to
give: It's
what's given best by our lives when we live in ways
to be worthy of all they did give.
The
"everyman" Private named "Ryan" perceived this
insight returning to Normandy's beach by
posing a question whose asking does teach the
answer to what do we owe the deceased-- Asked
Ryan, "Please tell me the life I did weave has
honored the gift that from them I received." For the rest of

The
new General Motors reports proceedings in bankruptcy court by gov'ment contrived
will keep it alive as bond-holding folks they extort.·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
May 30, 2009--
And now Gen'ral Motors reports: "Proceedings in bankruptcy
court will keep us 'alive' by schemes we've contrived so bond-holding folks we
extort." "Although as a comp'ny,
we're neutered, we're forced to say 'thanks' for the sutures. So back we
will bounce, we hereby announce our
plans for our corporate future:
Our name, which was once 'Gen'ral Motors," hereafter will be 'Gov'ment
Motors." Although we'll proclaim in charge we remain, the "boss"
of our boss is the POTUS. Obeying our
leader, the POTUS, the car by the "new" General Motors will win the
endeavor for mileage much better than Hondas or even Toyotas.
You ask how such automobile can beat what
competitors field: For mileage increasing, the answer is easy: produce only
Green Gore Mobiles. We've fired all those
dumb engineers of "Hummers" that Mother Earth fears and hired as our
mentor the Greatest
Inventor Al Gore, whom The
Earth doth revere.
So, now that we've got your attention, we yield to
Al Gore to dimension his insights attained and proudly explain what led to his
Greatest Invention:
I've long been proposing with zeal improvement of
automobiles that warming be ended and so I've invented a car named the Al Gore
Mobile.
I always stay right up to date on ev'rything
science can make So I knew of course a new fuel source:
We now can refine human waste. This auto will
please the whole nation, 'cause no one will need service stations And if
you ask me just how this can be, I'll give you a quick
explanation:
The obsolete gasoline tank will yield to a
nice septic tank And old drivers' seats become toilet seats so
drivers can fill their own tanks. For
health, this will lead to improvement 'cause drivers will learn to fine-tune it
by eating more grain to not have to "strain" to get 50 miles to the
movement.
And thus ends a legend of yore-- the great Gen'ral Motors of yore. It's
sad to observe demise of its verve and loss to disciples of Gore. I
finally close with a note in case as you read what I wrote you deemed the word
usage and syntax effusive and think that good English I smote. Perhaps you've
detected these lines are written in rhythm and rhyme-- If so, cursor-down,
'cause there will be found these verses in stanzas and lines.

Proliferation
of Hate-Crime Legislative Proposals May Apply to Steve Rattner, the Car-Czar for
Obama.·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
May 12, 2009--
The goal of the "hate" crime miscellany political leaders are
bellowing to classify crimes of violent designs? Political-speech
incorrectomy. Defining non-violent, fraught minds' expressions of
hatred as wrought crimes would be to design a law that defines
expressions of speech to be "thought" crimes.
That hate can't be more than a "thought" crime without conduct
crossing the fault-line from hatefulness tracts to violent acts makes violence
required for a "wrought" crime. Since so many
groups have now pleaded for "hate" crime protection, what's needed is not
statute-padding by group-by-group adding-- instead, it's a "catch-all"
that's needed. Instead of more laws to define the "hate" crime
examples of crime, a single amendment could serve the intention to properly
classify crimes:
Since violent acts existentially are needed for "hate" crimes
contextually, then violent crimes without "hate" in mind should
henceforth be called "Friendly Felonies." For Felonies'
"friendly" gestalt examples are: Amious Assault, Hospitable Homicide, Progressive
Parenticideº¹, and Ravishing
Rape of a broad.
Perhaps the most prevalent kind of "hate" that's involved in a crime
pertains to the motives by leaders emoted to feign their reluctance of mind.
Examples abound of this practice to justify acts not attractive:
When leaders propose a tax to impose while claiming to hate to raise
taxes. To bond-holders Chrysler abused Obama's new
"Car-Czar" effused: "If you keep on
sticking to claims, I'd hate sicking the press at the White House on
you." Obama on porkulus growth says, "Bush is to blame,
and you know I'd much rather shrink the tide of red ink and hate to make
government grow."
I finally close with a note in case as you read what I wrote you deemed the word
usage and syntax effusive and think that good English I smote. Perhaps
you've detected these lines are written in rhythm and rhyme-- If so, cursor-down,
'cause there will be found these verses in stanzas and lines.

Nominee
by Barack Obama for replacing retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter will
redistribute the judicial philosophy of Obama.·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
May 4, 2009--
Supreme Court Justice David Souter's decision to retire infected the body
politic with a political
virus more virulent than the "swine" virus (which should be
re-named the "pussycat" virus since -- so far, knock on wood-- it's
apparently far less deadly than a run-of-the-mill flu virus). And as is
the case with the H1N1 virus, from which experts expect a far more virulent
version to emerge before September, political experts likewise expect the
political virus to mutate into an even more virulent form before September and
spread easily in open spaces as well as closed spaces (thus leaving no
place of refuge for Vice President Biden).
Raising political naiveté to high art, the Bloomberg
news writers Greg Stohr and Tina Seeley speculate that Obama's
nominee to replace Souter will be a "centrist." Amused by
such speculation, Al Gore issued a statement debunking such speculation by
saying, "It will be a cold day on Earth before Obama would try to please
'moderate' Republicans by nominating someone who would serve as a a
'centrist.' on the Supreme Court." Gore issued the statement while in
Washington providing proprietary engineering data for General Motors' new CEO
(also known as General POTUS) to incorporate into instructions for GM to
immediately commence production of the most green vehicle designed thus far:
a prototype designed by Al Gore himself, which he aptly named the "GoreMobile."
In fact, to mock the former GM executives who traveled to Washington on
corporate jets, Gore
drove his "GoreMobile" prototype to a "Global Warming"
concert in the District of Columbia.
In contrast to the Bloomberg news service, the Wall
Street Journal realistically predicted Obama's nominee will prove to
be a liberal visionary in harmony with Obama's "judicial philosophy."
Not so, predicts ABC
News, which seems convinced that Obama's nominee will instead prove
to be a dependable manifestation of "diversity."
Among the more fundamental aspects of Obama's judicial philosophy is his embrace
of the principle that Supreme Court Justices ought to "break free"
from "restraints" imposed in the Constitution by the "Founding
Fathers." In particular, his view in that one of the most significant
failures of the Supreme Court thus far has been it's tendency to view the
Constitution as a framework designed to prohibit things the government otherwise
might do "to you" instead of progressively viewing it as a
prescription for what the government ougt to do "on your behalf."
Obama made this philosophical view clear as far back as 2001 in explaining how
his frustration with the legal system lead him to enter the political arena in
the legislative branch as an extension of "community organizing."
However, having now become President, there can be no doubt that the Supreme
Court voting record of Obama's nominee will reflect not only Obama's world view
but also his view of "economic justice" by shaping Supreme Court
decisions to do what Obama's philosophy says the Court should have done long
ago: redistribute wealth.

Obama-supporting
Critics of Tea Parties Apply Tea Bag Vulgarism to Participants, Who Respond Not
in Kind But Rather in Rhyme.·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
April 17, 2009--
In "verbing" a noun-word by adding
the "i-n-g" ending for "fadding" a noun as a verb, like
"tea bag," I've learned I'm guilty of cultural straggling.
Perhaps it's because I'm a Geezer in need of some cultural tweezers to pluck
from my brain the meaning that came to mind from such "tea-plus-bag"
tweaker.
The purpose of "i-n-g" endings appended to nouns? For extending the
gist of their meanings by "verbing" their meanings-- like
"friend" on the 'net spawning "friending." For
"bag," the agreed etymologyº¹
a form of semantic proctology, says "bag" was around at first as a
noun and then as a verb in chronology.
So "bagging" arose when the word for "bag" became also a
verb defining the act of making a "catch"-- thus "bagging"
arose from a verb. But likewise, most often it's found that "i-n-g"
verbing from nouns leaves meanings conserved like customers served where grocery
bagging abounds. Thus, "i-n-g" verbing of "tea bag"
means placing of tea into tea bags.
However, perhaps the term could be hatched for naming of protests with "tea
bags." Such message above is conveyed at rallies
with tea bags displayed, but critics deplore it with terms metaphoric
'cause substance they're lacking to say.
The answer to what's most conducive to counter such language allusive?
Reply, "Read our lips," and thereby eclipse their crude
metaphorical usage. Such come-back reply will assure that many by metaphor
lured to links where such term appears can discern its meaning from hist'ry
secured. Then minds seeking metaphor-meanings or mocking, political
meanings, will also find sources for learning how forces in hist'ry gave freedom
its meaning.
I finally close with a note in case as you read what I wrote you deemed the word
usage and syntax effusive and think that good English I smote. Perhaps
you've detected these lines are written in rhythm and rhyme-- If so, cursor-down,
'cause there will be found these verses in stanzas and lines.

º¹
Etymology of "bag" was as a noun first, then as a verb:
bag
c.1230, bagge, from O.N. baggi or a similar Scand. source, perhaps ultimately of
Celtic origin. Disparaging slang for "woman" dates from 1924. Meaning
"person's area of interest or expertise" is 1964, from Black Eng.
slang, from jazz sense of "category," probably via notion of putting
something in a bag. Baggy "puffed out, hanging loosely" is 1834. Many
fig. senses are from the notion of the game bag (1486) into which the product of
the hunt was placed; e.g. the verb meaning "to kill game" (1814) and
its colloquial extension to "catch, seize, steal" (1818). [source]

Thousands
of Virginians brave cold and rainy weather to attend the Richmond Tea Party
demanding less government and lower taxes..·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
April
16, 2009--
Despite cold and intermittently rainy weather, thousands
of Virginians gathered at Kanawha Plaza in Richmond, Virginia on
April 15, 2009, at a rally
to demand the shrinking
of government and taxes. It was but one of many hundreds of
independently organized "Tea
Party" rallies across the country, with the only common theme
being criticism of both Democrats and Republicans for fostering the growth,
rather than reduction, of the power and spending of the federal government and
for failing to responsibly reform the tax system.
Initial reports estimated the size of the crowd to be two or three thousand, but
according to PoliSat.Com's Washington Bureau Drawer Chief, who attended the
rally, "the after-rally traffic-jam was more consistent with typical
post-game traffic jams at the local minor-league baseball stadium when
attendance is around 5,000." PoliSat.Com's Editor quickly agreed with
such estimate.
Local news coverage via print, radio and television was extensive. A
predicted "counter-demonstration" failed to materialize.
Civility and decorum marked the entirety of the event, but strong hostility to
expanding, rather than reducing, the size and spending of the federal government
and the weight and disproportionate application of the federal tax burden was
manifest throughout the rally.
There were many creative signs. The best source for viewing the largest
variety of signs the report by Old
Virginia News, which includes an extensive gallery of news photos of
the rally. Perhaps one of the most "timely" (i.e., in the
wake of the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from the Somalai pirates who had
taken him hostage) is the one shown above-right. Another clever sign
conveyed a message to the Teleprompter President by saying "My teleprompter
tells me to vote [you] out of office." (That sign, as well as the
"pirates" sign shown above-right, appears in PoliSat.Com's brief video
clip about the rally-- scroll further down for the YouTube video with the title
"Richmond Tea Party 20090415.") (For

Barack
Obama denies bowing to Saudi King; says he was showing how bending at the waist
could give the King six-pack abs like Obama has.·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
April 8, 2009--
Obama denies he was bowing
in greeting the king of the Saudis. He says he displayed how bending the
waist could give six-pack "abs" to the Saudis. Barack said
to those who'd decry
diplomacy skills thus applied at YouTube
perceived that folks should believe his wording instead of their
eyes. This leads to a much larger issue regarding the
statements he issues. So mem'ries are jogged, a rhyme about frogs will aid
comprehending such issues:
We know boiling frogs we cannot by frogs dropped in
water that's hot-- They'll jump from the pan, but boil them we can when
water's first cold 'stead of hot. Succeeding
in ways Machiavellian without causing leaps to rebellion requires cool
linguistics so languages transfixes perceptions that might cause rebellion.
A recipe used making mixtures for cooling linguistic elixirs is made most
expedient by using ingredients defined as "linguistic transfixers."
Of all the transfixers, the "mother" for
quelling rebelliousness druthers asserts that all people created are equal, but
some are more "equal" than others. This
"mother" of Machiavellian transfixers for quelling rebellion compared
to the rest is "best" of the "best" most commonly known as
"Orwellian." The author of
new Machiavellian transfixes most clearly Orwellian named "George" he
is not, but, rather, Barack, surpassing old George with "Obwellian."
Because there's a need for a "logo" (an
icon displaying a motto) for civic rebellion against what's Obwellian,
there's now an "Obwellian Logo." And
thus, the Obwellian Logo for feats of linguistical pogo o'er words that conflict
to meanings transfixed displays the Obwellian Motto:
Of
course we're all sisters and brothers
opposing a system that smothers
the notion that people
created are equal,
but some are more equal than others.
From where what inspired me did come? For credit to whom it belongs, what
needs to be said: My
hat-tip to Ed, the pundit at HotAir.Com. I finally close with a
