Al Gore accuses George Bush of "betraying" our country.·

    Today, new information from PoliSat.Com's highly reliable sources emerged about Al Gore's speech in Tennessee on Sunday, February 8, 2004.  Witnesses say Gore gave a political fire-and-brimstone speech that would have made Cotton Mather turn green with envy.  Among his most memorable lines was his statement that George W. Bush "betrayed this country."  Most politicians understandably have a hard time resisting the impulse to jump onto a bandwagon.  Few have the urge to jump onto one careening over a cliff, except, of course, Al Gore.  Fewer still have exhibited Gore's skill in pushing bandwagons over cliffs.

    Apparently fearing that Howard Dean's scream may have firmly established him as the "Alpha Male" for the entertainment-industry pack, Gore gave a speech today in which one of his goals was for his carotid arteries to appear much larger than did Dean's during his eloquent "I Have a Scream" speech.  Another goal seemed to be to demonstrate that he could scream in a much deeper voice than his protégé, Howard Dean (the Beta Male).  A third seemed to be lure some of the intellectual heavyweights currently supportering Wesley Clark (such as Michael Moore, Madonna, Ted Danson, Drew Barrymore, Peter, Paul & Mary, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, etc.) out of Clark's Military Industrial Duplex and into the MoveOn.Org cult running the Doctor of Spleen Machine.

    Responses to Gore's speech were overwhelming.  He received calls from John Edwards, Wesley Clark, Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton, Howard Dean, Lyndon LaRouche, Hillary Clinton and George Bush begging him to endorse John Kerry.  McGovern asked him to endorse Nixon.  He was also swamped by calls from a number of world leaders.  Jacques Chirac asked him to endorse Tony Blair; Tony Blair asked him to endorse Jacques Chirac; and through intermediaries, Saddam Hussein asked him to endorse Bush.  The Christian Coalition urged him to endorse MTV.  John Kerry called to say he would categorically repudiate any endorsement by Gore.

    Offers poured in from the business world as well.  Pepsi offered to pay Gore to endorse Coke in the next Super Bowl.  Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant and Martha Stewart asked him to endorse their prosecutors.  CBS asked him to endorse Michael Powell.  Dave Letterman asked him to become a regular guest of Jay Leno.

Was Gore right in saying who stooped to betraying?·

I'm Gore, who believes I'm behooved
by speeches I'm giving to prove
the anger of Dean
is wimpy and lean
compared to the hate I exude.

Attacking George Dubya, I say:
"'Twas not just from wisdom he strayed.
I'm raising my voice
alleging his choice
was he would our country betray."

Hey, Al, as the Joe who was nearer
to you when your thinking was clearer,
I sadly must say
to see who betrays
just look at yourself in the mirror.

    Joe Lieberman expressed sadness that Gore had endorsed Dean.  According to PoliSat.Com's highly reliable, anonymous sources, Lieberman told his closest aides, "Gore owed it to me to help me win the nomination, so why didn't he endorse all the candidates (other than me, of course)?  If he had done so, I'd be soaring to victory by now."  Bill Clinton, always eager to express an opinion on issues of great political import, confidentially told the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the National Enquirer and several other papers of record, "Gore's getting a bum rap.  He was the key to my success in avoiding impeachment because a majority of Senators was unwilling to take the heat from their constituents for casting a vote that would make Gore the President."

Bush's State of Union speech sparks reactions from Dean, Kerry, Edwards, Clark, Lieberman, and Kucinich.·

    Responses to Bush's State of the Union speech set the stage for Campaign 2004.  Howard Dean responded, "Yaaauuuugggghhhhh" while displaying his famous Iowa smile.     

Says Al, "I've invented the means to help Re-InviGore-ate Dean."·

I'm trying to figure why Kerry
and Edwards passed Dean in a hurry.
Though some say his raucous
displays irked the caucus,
the cause may be diff'rent, I worry.

I then began wracking my brain
to figure what made him go lame,
and now I profess
to know what is best
for Dean to get back in the game.

While list'ning last night to George Bush
I thought how I better could push
for Dean to do best: 
Support I'll express
for all of the rest and for Bush.

Litigation erupts as Sony Unveils World's First 'Running' Humanoid Robot.·

According to news reports today, Sony has produced a humanoid robot that can "run."  Although this new Sony robot, "Orio," is much smaller than Honda's "Osmo," the human-size robot able to walk and "dance," Sony expect to soon make a human-size model of the "running" robot.  Because running requires both feet to be simultaneously off the ground plus the ability to maintain balance when the ground is struck successively by one foot at a time, the software to enable a robot to "run" is extremely complex.  However, PoliSat.Com's highly reliable (reliably high?) sources have revealed how and where Sony obtained software for such robotic feat.
Running Robot.
Today, Sony claims to have done
what no other comp'ny has done:  
Robotic construction
enhanced by instructions
for "humanoid" robots to "run."

The code in its brain that is stored
for both of its feet off the floor
prevents it from stalling
or stumbling or falling
when foot-after-foot strikes the floor.

But someone who's done this before
has now dispatched lawyers to court
with legal contentions
of patent infringements
on codes in the brain of Al Gore.

In a press-release issued upon the filing of this suit, Gore's lawyers touted the case as a "slam dunk."  When asked to describe the scientific evidence and identify the experts upon whom they would rely to prove their claim for patent-infringement on programming for a robotic humanoid to "run," Gore's lawyers said they would not need to present scientific evidence or expert witnesses because the court would be entitled to "take judicial notice" of a fact widely understood as a matter of common knowledge-- i.e., undisputed evidence that Al Gore can run.  Gore's publicist indicated there are already offers to acquire movie rights to the story combining the inspirational Pinocchio-type story of a wooden figure learning to run as part of a campaign to promote sensitivity to the environment.  The movie is tentatively titled, "Run Forest," starring Al Gump (a son of the forest) planting Apple-Tree Computers as he runs through the rain forests of the world.  (Hollywood moguls rejected the initially-proposed title, "Alpha AppleSeed" because "seed" is a male-centric term disparaging the intrinsic femininity of Mother Earth.)

The GoreDean Knot ties Hillary's Plot.
It's Billary's Hillary Clinton v Gore's Howard Dean, his invention.
·
(Get ready to ruuummmmbbbbllllleee!)

When Gore's joined with Dean it's a diphthong
¹:  
A GoreDeeun
² Knot for this sing-song
when hereafter seen
you'll know what I mean: 
when Gore's hooked to Dean they're a diphthong.

Though some think it's etymological,
to experts it's etiological--
A GoreDean Knot 
politic'ly clots
with hard'ning that ideological.

I'm Hillary needing to neuter
the value of frontrunner "futures"
like GoreDean Knots
restraining my plot
for shorting conventioning futures.

And so I'm obliged to opine
the Dean coronation designed
to keep him ahead
is wrong 'cause his head
can't fit in the crown that is mine.

I'm Billary, husband of Hillary,
with orders from Hill'ry to pillory
the ingrate named Gore
we raised from the floor
despite his imbued imbecility.

In tying his GoreDean Knot.
Al Gore has revealed he is not
as dumb as I thought
because he has wrought
a knot in my Hillary's plot. ·
··
·
¹·For those who may have forgotten, go here for the meaning of a diphthong.
²·GoreDeeun represents the pronunciation of GoreDean with the "ea" as a diphthong.
Inspired by:  Hillary cautioning Democrats against treating Gore's endorsement of Dean as a "coronation"; It's Billary's Hillary Clinton v Gore's Howard Dean, his invention.  --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

Reliables sources explain why Gore's on the Howard Dean train.·

My sources covertly explained
that Gore boarded Howard Dean's train
because he accepted
my views on the seventh
¹--
He's raining on Hillary's Game.

His reason for shunning poor Joe
is not that he'd want to say "No"
to Joe, his old friend,
but rather to end
the chances for Hill'ry to grow.

Perhaps what continues to sting
the most ain't the Florida thing,
but thinking his loss
by Bubba was caused
by leaving a tub with a ring.

Since Al won't help Joe to stop Dean,
then Hill'ry more often must preen
for chances to say
"I haven't okayed
that ' Draft-Hill'ry Clinton ' machine."

That Gore said it's Dean he will tout
puts Hillary's planning in doubt
by increasing chances
that quantum advances
by Dean will leave Hill'ry locked out.

He's bollixed her planning to count
on deadlock providing the route
for Hill'ry to craft
a "Hillary Draft"
if polling for Dubya's gone south.

The Ozone Faux Zone... ·

In ozone, the seasonal hole
in 2003 was as bold
as 2000's summer.
Oh, my what a bummer!
So, what was enlarging the hole?

By ozone alarmists we're told
the sizes of seasonal holes
are linked to logistics
revealed by statistics
on gases men spread 'round the globe.

Though science shows greater infection
from Massive Coronal Ejections, 
the hottest of gases
emitted in masses
are Massive Goronal Ejections.

Regarding when gases were more,
the latest statistics report:  
Like 2000's Summer,
Oh-Three was a Summer,
with many more speeches by Gore.·
··
·
Inspired by news reports that in the last few years, the holes in the ozone, which alarmists claim to be caused by gases expelled into the atmosphere by men, were largest in the summers of 2000 and 2003. Could it be mere coincidence that tose time periods statistically correlate with increases
in the number of speeches by Gore?·--Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

Political Journal:  The Portable Gorinal... ·


"Despite my political funeral," 
says Gore, "my career isn't terminal
'cause now I've agreed
that henceforth I'll be
the Spokesman for Waterless Urinals."

"To guarantee sales are phenomenal,
I'm coining a name that's cognominal
like Crapper, whose fame
for toilets remains,
by naming it 'Portable Gorinal.' "

"And like Thomas Crapper of yore,
my fame would extend evermore
'cause people in need
politely will plead,
'Excuse me, I must take a Gore.' "

You ask if this lim'rick's confirmable
that Gore speaks for Waterless Urinals.
The news that I speak
was sourced as a leak
that flowed from his Portable Journal.

Alternate title:
The Portable Gorinal Waterless Urinal·

I'm Al, the Vice-POTUS
¹ of yore,
and now I give speeches to roar
: 
If
I were the POTUS
and Tipper were FLOTUS,
² 
our risks would be fewer, not more.

I've
now with respect to Iraq
invented a way to redact
support that I gave
in Nineteen-Nine-Eight
to change the regime in Iraq.

Although I'm a person of principles,
I'm never from pressure invincible,
and so I confess
support I expressed
was merely a statement of principle.


I'm busy as Citizen Gore
inventing redactions galore
emerging from stasis
to prove that I'm greatest
as "Al, the Inventor of Lore."
··
·
Inspired by
:  (a) the transparently self-serving revisionism manifest in Gore's speech to "MoveOn.Org" about the nature of the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's regime remaining in power, (b) his specious claims that the pre-911 "dots" (which began appearing during the tenure of the Clinton/Gore administration) could have been connected despite the pre-911 laws limiting domestic intelligence activities by the FBI, banning such activities by the CIA, and barring FBI/CIA collaboration in such activities, (c) his demagogic language implying Bush has established a police state, and (d) his specious claim we are in greater danger today than before 9-11.

Coming soon from Gore:  the Bore Casting Network...

Believing the news is bereft
of views of the news from the left,
Al Gore is acquiring
a network aspiring
to broadcast with views from the left.

Fatigued from attempting to gild
the ring in the tub left by Bill,
at least he's moved up
'cause now he can scrub
the ring in the tub left by Phil.

Inspired by news reports that Al Gore and other investors are planning to buy News International from Vivendi (before completion of GE/NBC's acquisition of Vivendi) in order to run it as a "liberal" news network to counterbalance what Gore perceives as the right-wing views of other news media.  He seems not to understand that with the sole exception of Fox, the existing news networks are liberal.  However, given the intensifying activism of ideological groups such as MoveOn.Org, a leftist news network could be supported by zealots of the left.  --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

The Half-Right Albright.· 
(Half-Right about Gore)
(Red quotation marks denote paraphrasing.)

"If Gore were our POTUS," said Albright
"the things in Iraq would be all right,"              ·
instead of the "mess"
at present possessed
'cause "war in Iraq was the wrong fight." ·


Okay, Madeline, we accept your challenge
to play the "What if Gore were President?"
game-- Read on below.   The "what-if's?"
begin below:


Assume, arguendo, that Gore
were President rather than George,
Iraq would be "neat"--
No "messy" defeat
of Saddam if POTUS were Gore:   ·


If Gore would have not taken action
for keeping Hussein under sanctions,
Saddam would've soon
his program resumed
for nukes with a reckless abandon.

For giant-size leaps in his pay-scale
his neighbors Saddam would've blackmailed,
who then would've sent
their money to him
and also included some fan-mail.

The man who without inhibition
covertly sent goons on a mission
to murder George H.,
covertly by freight
would soon send us gadgets that fission
.       ·

If Gore would instead have prevented
decisions that sanctions be ended,
it would have, of course,
required that our force
in Arabic lands be extended.

The EU and Arabs would shill
Saddam's claim that "children" are killed
by sanctions enforced
by presence in force
of Yanks wanting sanctions fulfilled.

Remember the top of the list
which Arabs deemed grounds to enlist
for entry to "Heaven"
September Eleven?
Our Middle-East presence was it.
           ·

And thus the contentions of Albright
if Gore were the POTUS are half-right:      ·
Iraq would have "less"
of what she calls "mess,"
'cause more would be here with a half-life
.
··
··
Inspired by a Sept. 14, 2003, on-line excerpt from an interview of Madeline Albrignt in Time for it's "September 22, 2003" dateline issue, in which Albright contended the dangers in Iraq had not yet become sufficiently "imminent" to warrant toppling Saddam and contended further that "if there was [sic] a President Gore, we wouldn't be in this particular mess."  (Italics added by PoliSat.Com's Editor.)  As our strategies for the last several decades (under both parties) have shown, ad-hoc, case-by-case, police-work-type responses to terrorism are totally ineffective.  Now that we're playing chess (and quite well at that) with a unified, worldwide strategy, it's not surprising that checkers experts find it too challenging.   --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

The dopes at the polls who punched Patrick's hole
but
meant to punch Alpha Gore's hole.  (limerick 20001109-01)
    When voters make careless mistakes
    in marking their votes in a race
    we cannot reverse
    the ways that they erred
    by putting new votes in their place.
    The word Gore is trying to preach--
    that ballots designed by Palm Beach
    caused voters for Gore
    to punch the wrong hole--
    is such a ridiculous reach.

    The arrow for Gore on the ballot
    did not mark the hole for Buchannan.
    It pointed right at
    the hole made for Al
    and not at the hole for Buchannan.
    But those careless voters now whine
    that we should put them back in line
    to punch Alpha's hole
    to give him the role
    or else he will whimper and whine.

    But who was the one who designed
    the ballot about which they whine?
    It wasn't George Dubya,
    or even his brother--
    A Democrat made the design.
© 2000


Today Alpha Gore will learn "less" is "more."  (limerick 20001107-01)
    Al Gore, you proclaim you know best
    and claim that George Dubya knows less.
    To think you know best
    for ev'ryone else
    is really a sign you know less.

What Homeless Folk Need is a Free Pack of Weeds (limerick 20001105-01)
    We know what the homeless folks need
    to help them to vote absentee: 
    A pack at the door
    to vote for Al Gore
    and then smoke those wonderful weeds.
© 2000
--Inspired by 11-05-00 Report by "The Milwaukee Channel" (WISN, Channel 12) that Gore-campaign volunteers in Milwaukee were transporting homeless people to vote absentee and then rewarded them with free cigarettes. By the way, I'm a smoker who's really tired of the anti-tobacco Gestapo, so I find it quite amusing that volunteers for the self-appointed Commander in Chief of the War Against Tobacco were furnishing free cigarettes to homeless people to vote by absentee ballot.

Bill states his own view:  Al Gore's "#2" (limerick 20001103-02)
    When Joyner told Clinton, "It's true,
    I'm sad that I can't vote for you,"
    Bill told him the score: 
    "The next-best is Gore,"
    which means that Al Gore's "number-two".
© 2000  --Inspired by 11-03-00 FoxNews report that when talk-radio host Tom Joyner told Clinton he wished Clinton could serve four more years, Clinton described Gore as the "next best" thing.

The King nearly died on Larry King Live (limerick 20001102-01)
    Frank Luntz, where are you when we need you?
    Last night Larry King gave us his views.
    He sputtered his words
    and prob'ly made turds
    when Ross endorsed Bush on the King shew
**
    If King had been wired to your meter
    when Ross described Bush as a leader
    the lines on your chart
    would show Larry's heart
    quite nearly became a non-beater.

    King's panic was clear the whole time,
    but when was the funniest time?
    The end of the show,
    when King asked Perot: 
    "You think that you might change your mind?"
**Fellow Boomers will remember that "shew" was Ed Sullivan's pronunciation of "show."  
© 2000
--Inspired by my observation of King's obvious panic (on Larry King Live on 11-02-00) when-- contrary to everyone's expectations and the implications of CNN's promos that Perot would make an important presidential "endorsement" on Larry King Live-- Perot endorsed Bush and castigated Gore rather than vice-versa.

People Who Need People or People Who Knead People (limerick 20001030-01)
    In paeans to Clinton and Gore,
    interpreting Streissand's a chore.
    The language she sings
    is called Clintonese
    which makes understanding a chore.
    Says Streissand, the expert on People
    "The best are the ones who need people."
    Such words are ironic
    because in Clinphonics 
    it means the best people knead people.

© 2000
--Inspired by observation of people who knead people.

A good raison d'être:  Orevoir Barb the Diva (limerick 20001029-01)
    Remember the promise by Streissand
    to travel beyond the horizon
    if Gore doesn't win?
    It's why Dubya grins--
    for d'être 'tis such a good raison.
© 2000
--Inspired by reports that Barbara Streissand attacks Bush and praises Gore in an interview by Barbara Walters to be broadcast this coming Friday and by prior reports of Streissand's prior promise to emigrate to another country if Gore were to not be elected.  

The cause of "green-house"?  It's Alpha Gore's mouth! (limerick 20001025-01)
    When Gore says there's now a green-house,

Alpha-Gore's lock-box proposal ...
Keeps taxpayers at his disposal
(limerick 20001022-01)
    Al Gore says his lock-box will stop
    all Social-Security hocks,
    but his plan retains
    the keys to the chains
    in government's hands-- does it not?
    It ain't rocket-science to see

    Bill said that he's no longer reticent

The unabridged list of Alpha-Gore myths or
The what's and the why's of Alpha-Gore lies:  2nd Edition
(limerick 20001004-01)
    For my first debate against Bushie
    advisors had said "Don't be pushy,'
    and said I should try
    to stop telling lies,
    and just try to be goody-goody.
    They said when I got on the stage
    class-warfare is what I should wage
    but I couldn't hide
    my need to tell lies
    'cause that's how class-warfare is waged.

    When Dubya gave FEMA high marks
    in battling those high-water marks,
    In order to share
    such kudos for care,
    I claimed I was there at the start.
    Because he's a mean so-and-so
    Bush later said I didn't go.
    Reporters asked Witt
    then made me admit
    the story I told wasn't so.

    To show I'm a man with great verve
    and how with great foresight I serve
    I claimed I had joined
    in decisions to form
    our country's strategic reserve.
    Of course, I hoped none would perceive
    that happened in Seventy-Three--
    two years before
    as Congressman Gore
    I entered the House in DeeCee.

    To show my ideas are the "bestest"
    I talked about poor Kailey Ellis
    not having a desk
    to help her do best
    and called her school worse than the rest.
    Then someone who knew what was there
    described what I said as hot air!
    She first had to stand
    'cause one-hundred-grand
    in unpacked equipment was there!

    Now critics point-out that my plans
    for Skinner, collector of cans
    took so little time,
    but tenants of mine
    sat long on their overflowed cans.

Eleventh Hour Citizenship (limerick 20001003-01)
    To those who just watched the debate
    to learn about issues I say:
    You injure us all
    by waiting 'til Fall
    'cause your votes determine our fate.
    Like last-minute crammers for tests,
    you think you can quickly learn best.
    That's why I'm confessing
    I find it depressing
    that your votes
will count with the rest.
© 2000  --Inspired by the depressing thought at the end of the 10-03-00 debate between Gore and Bush that a large percentage of people watching the debate did not yet know enough about the relative positions of the two candidates and parties to already know how they will vote and that their votes might well be influenced by a merely theatrical or stylistic mistake or "accomplishment" during the course of the debate.

ABC News has standards for views:
Rats get exposure but moles get enclosure.
(limerick below)(20000925-01)
    The new name for ABC News:
    Avoid Balanced Campaigning News:  
    Expose a rat found,
    keep moles underground
    when we think they're ugly to view.
    The rat-story made us quite fearful
    and so we gave viewers an ear-full.
    The mole found by Judd
    as news is a dud
    because it does not make us fearful.

    Gore's worker who claimed there's a mole
    now says it's a gag that he told,
    and Gore's folks berate
    the prank as third-rate.
    (But where have we heard that before?)
© 2000  --Inspired by ABC News' apparent editorial decision that Jackie Judd's 09-24-00 report about an alleged Gore-campaign mole in the Bush campaign is newsworthy enough to be posted on its website but not newsworthy enough to be included in its broadcast news, which recently accorded a four-and-a-half-minute lead to Gore-campaign allegations that a Republican commercial's sequential fragmentation of the word "bureaucrats" constituted an effort to subliminally identify Democrats as "rats."

A diet that's balanced keeps Earth in the balance
(and saves fossil fuels to boot)
(limerick 20000924-01)
    Al Gore said in Earth in the Balance ...
    that gas should cost two-bucks a gallon,
    so why does he whine
    that prices have climbed
    to merely a buck sixty-seven?

    The answer is reasonably clear:  
    He's up for election this year.
    But what is expected
    if he is elected?
    More taxes per gallon, my dear!
    What need will those new taxes fill?
    Promoting the Al-Gore-Mobile!
    To end oil-dependence
    Al Gore has invented
    a new way to power the wheel !

    Since scientists recently made
    a way to refine human waste,
    the Al-Gore-Mobile
    will power the wheel
    with fuel from humanoid waste.
    This quite inexhaustible source
    will free us from imports, of course !
    And Gore saved the day
    inventing a way
    to use it for horsepower force.

    His car has a tank that will boil it.
    However, one problem might spoil it:
    the method is rank
    for filling the tank:
    The driver's seat must be a toilet.
    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 fifty miles to the movement.

Olympic-campaigning strategy:
To go for the gold, you must have a mole.
  (limerick 20000923-01)
    Since Bush used subliminal rats
    to claim that we love bureaucrats,
    we went for the gold
    by sending a mole
    to Bush-camp to spy on those rats.
    At first we just simply denied it
    and felt quite assured we could hide it,
    but during this flap
    our flakker was trapped
    by someone to whom he'd confided.

    We simply used standard procedure:  
    A sworn statement shown to the media,
    but that was a dud,
    because Jackie Judd
    knew more than what she'd been revealing.
© 2000  --Inspired by ABC News report on 09-23-00 about inconsistencies between an affidavit prepared by the Gore campaign for, and signed by, a Gore campaign worker about whether the Gore campaign has a "mole" in the Bush campaign and information that same worker confided to a confidential source.

    In childhood, my lullaby heaven--
    a song Mom composed for our brethren,
    which said when you're able,
    demand union labels,
    was found when I reached twenty-seven.

    I'm proud that I bravely faced danger
    in going to 'Nam as a ranger,
    where some rode the air,
    but I rode a chair
    with wheels for elite chair-borne rangers.
    While friends were out living it up,
    my service in 'Nam was quite rough,
    'cause right at the start
    I won purple hearts
    for two really bad paper cuts.

    My intellect's something to tout
    'though enemies claim I flunked-out,
    but in my short journey
    to be an attorney,
    I quit, so I didn't flunk-out.
    Remember that Love Story gripper--
    inspired by yours-truly and Tipper?
    'Though Segal denied
    that him we inspired,
    you can't trust a writer of fiction.

    Maintaining my brain in good in order
    I stayed an inhaler not snorter,
    which gave me the vision
    to start a new mission 
    as anti-pollution reporter.
    'Though some called my stories banal,**   .
    't'was I who exposed Love Canal.
    Although there were prior
    reports that were dire,
    that's simply a minor detail.

    I said I invented the net
    and no one's disproved it quite yet.
    If you're on your toes,
    you already know
    as web-weaver I am the best.
    When smoking caused my sister's death
    I swore Big Tobacco I'd get.
    Why then did I cheer
    tobacco for years?,
    My plan was to get 'em with stealth.

    I said when I met Buddhist nuns
    it wasn't to raise any funds.
    I didn't believe
    that we would receive
    big checks from such poor Buddhist nuns.
    At meetings arranged for the study
    of hard-money-use of soft-money
    I had to leave
    in order to pee
    from gallons of tea in my tummy.

    I said the drug business ripped-off
    my dog and my mother-in-law,
    but don't be uncouth
    by asking for proof
    or calling my mother-in-law.
    It's not fair to say I'm a liar
    or say that my pants are on fire.

Drugs are quite high, but less than a bribe (limerick 20000919-01)
    Prescriptions that vets give to pups
    cost less than what doctors give us.
    So why is it cheaper
    for vets to be healers?
    'Cause dogs do not sue for big bucks.
    Of course this is something Gore knows,
    because in his campaigning throes
    Al Gore told a man: 
    give one hundred-grand
    for no-tort-reforming vetoes

© 2000 --Inspired by Gore's expressed amazement that the price for a drug prescribed for humans is much higher than the price of the same drug prescribed for animals.  Of course, it's not rocket science to understand that the price drug companies charge for drugs for humans must be high enough to include product liability insurance against tort suits by humans claiming to have been harmed by such drug, and juries are likely to award vastly larger amounts to humans injured by a drug than to animals injured by the same drug.

    we didn't hear Dan
    proclaim to the land
    that surely Al Gore is to blame.
© 2000 --Inspired by Dan Rather's stunning loss of insight into the world of political dirty tricks by failing to assert that Democrat dirty tricks must have been the method by which Gore's speech-coach (former Representative Tom Downey) inexplicably received a tape of Dubya's practice debate, even though as recently as on 08-18-00 Rather strongly implied that on the eve of Gore's acceptance speech, Republicans had "leaked" a story that federal judges had authorized a new grand-jury to investigate whether Clinton had lied under oath.  See PoliSat's 08-18-00 limerick about that story.

The GorePrah Whiney Show (limerick 20000911-01)

Fickle-Down beats Trickle-Down

General Wolf on the march against General Bush

    The proof that so few pay attention

    They shift o'er and o'er

    It's clear that political wars
    are now between Venus and Mars: 
    "Take care of my needs !"
    or "Just let me be !"
    Such opposites:  Venus and Mars.
© 2000 --Inspired by the sudden, massive shift among women voters after Gore French-kissed Tipper at the convention.  The philosophical differences between Bush and Gore are clear enough and wide enough that opinions of voters who keep themselves informed on political issues and base their decisions on reasoning do not shift back and forth between such clearly opposing political views.  It seems clear that a much larger percentage of women than men want security more than freedom and a much larger percentage of men than women want freedom more than security.  To the men-bashers I say this:  It's freedom that has produced the historically unprecedented security we now enjoy, not the other way around.

    unless taxes rain
    on taxpayers' "rainy day funds."
© 2000 --Inspired by Gore's 09-06-00 speech proposing that part of the predicted surplus be maintained as a "rainy day fund" for government on the theory that government, "like families" should have a "rainy day fund," conveniently ignoring the fact that government -- unlike families -- has the power to take funds belonging to others to satisfy its needs.

    To some it seemed quite out of place
    to French-kiss my Tipper on stage,
    but why the commotion
    about such emotion
    from one who is wooden on stage.
    The one who gave Soccer Moms thrills
    has been the young POTUS named Bill,
    He's an unzipper,
    but I've got my Tipper
    for Soccer Mom's surrogate thrills.

    Slick Willie would have to hit bottom
    to give such a French-kiss to Rodham,
    but unlike The Zipper,
    my cheerleader Tipper
    has kept me from prowling for madams.

    they suddenly cry 
    that surely the price should be lower !
    So what is the reason that both  
    now say that the price should be low?
    Of course it is rude 
    for us to conclude 
    they're simply competing for votes.

Gasoline Prices:  Gouging for Votes  (limerick 20000621-01)
    Since gasoline prices have risen, 
    Al Gore takes a puzzling position.
    His book said we need  
    high prices indeed  
    to save us from cars run by pistons.
    Yet now he has started espousing 
    that high prices constitute gouging,
    But it ain't the money, 
    it's who gets it, honey, 
    just "profits" not taxes are "gouging."

British Empire reborn as British E-empire (limerick 20000620)
(British Telecom seeks royalties for hyperlink patent.)
    The Twentieth Cent'ry's last half ...  
    saw Great Britain's Empire collapse
    But now like a phoenix, 
    it rises to greet us 
    and subjugate us to a tax.

    Of course, it's not really a tax-- 
    just fees under patent-law acts.
    You've prob'ly been thinking 
    that web-hyperlinking 
    was something that Al Gore begat,
    But soon we will hear Gore admitting 
    that British chaps did the inventing.
    Who now with great pluck 
    demand that so much 
    be paid to so few by so many !

Hard-drives found at Los Alamos (limerick 20000616-02)
    Bill Richardson said with relief, 
    the hard-drives are not with a thief
    He says they were found 
    still-on secure ground, 
    and maybe that is his belief.

    But PoliSat has a good source 
    as good as the mouth of the horse.
    We know they were found 
    on far-away ground:
    in toilets for tenants of Gore !

Bridging the Digital Divide, Part II .
(limerick 20000615-01; for Part I, click here.)
    Both Clinton and Gore take great pride 
    in closing the digital divide
    We know Foggy Bottom 
    has helped the downtrodden 
    by leaving their doors open wide.
    But who has helped close it the most?  
    Those kind folks at Los Alamos!

Los Alamos hard-drives-- 
Where did they go?
 (limerick 20000613-01)
    Los Alamos hard-drives are key 
    to stopping a Nuke-'Em-High spree.
    So back in late April, 
    a Richardson cable 
    said keep 'em as safe as can be !
    And what did they see as the danger?  
    A fire set by fed'ral park rangers.
    'Cause ev'ryone knows 
    how strong the wind blows 
    except of course fed'ral park rangers.

    And this gave the scientists jitters 
    'cause rangers just care about critters
    So scientists hired  
    an expert on fire
    but sadly he was the low bidder.
    To save things from fire on the way, 
    it's best to just move them away.
    The next best protection 
    is water convection 
    for things that are not moved away.

    And so the low-bidder proposed  
    to use not just one way but both
    For safety through distance 
    and water resistance, 
    he code-named his plan "flush-and-go."
    He stationed a worker beside  
    the room with the hard-drives inside
    His recommendation 
    required simulation 
    to be sure the drives would survive.

    But on that poor worker's first day, 
    he heard the words "Fire's on the way!"
    He thought it was real 
    and not just a drill, 
    and so he just flushed them away.
    They searched for them thirty-some days 
    'til driven away by a blaze
    Then there were leaks 
    that prospects were bleak 
    and searchers were panicked and dazed.

    But miracles happen each day, 
    and now all the hard-drives are safe,
    It's hard to believe, 
    but they were retrieved 
    from toilets at Al Gore Estates.

Al Gore's latest invention:   The AlGoreMobile--  Al Gore uses his knowledge of science and politics to invent an innovative, environmentally friendly way to improve transportation while at the same time reducing hazardous dumps, dependence on foreign oil, fossil-fuel depletion,  and poverty.  Al Gore explains  the inspiration for his latest invention:  (limerick 20000612-01).
    Without even slight condescension, 
    I must say I make good inventions
    And how do I do it? 
    There ain't nothin' to it, 
    'cause nothin' escapes my attention !
    On learning my tenants' conditions 
    don't satisfy plumbing conventions
    Since each time they flush, 
    they're wading in slush, 
    I thought of a brand-new invention.

    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
    And what gives my Green heart a thrill?  
    To get it we don't have to drill
    My tenants can "go," 
    then sell overflow, 
    and soon their accounts will be filled.

    The profit we'll take from the till 
    to make a new automobile
    Then we will hype a new prototype 
    and call it the AlGoreMobile
    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. 
    Of course there's a need for improvement, 
    and clearly it's in our behoovement
    That models display 
    their mileage CAFE 
    at fifty-six miles to the movement !

    For drivers a danger is plain:  
    To get extra mileage they'll strain
    To them we'll repeat, 
    just be sure to eat 
    the foods with high fibre and grain.  
© 2000  (Inspiration:  05-20-00 BBC report about scientists having discovered how to convert human waste into fossil fuel and a 06-06-00 FoxNews report about complaints by Gore's Tennessee tennants complaining about toilet backups in Gore's rental property; see also a Weekly Standard article on the same story.)  (See also our 2000053

What's Behind the Green Gore? ( limerick by Gore 20000604-01)
    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.

Spending our wealth on our inner-selves (limerick 20000602-01)
    Al Gore says our nation of wealth 
    should cure us of bad mental health
    and not charge a fee 
    to those with such needs 
    until they have no troubles left.
    'Though he thinks we have enough wealth 
    to cure all that bad mental health.
    Our surplus would fade 
    if government paid 
    the cost of the cure for himself.

More Gore Lore (limerick) (20000510-01)
    Yesterday, Gore laid a bomb 
    with typically reckless aplomb
    He tried to imply 
    Dubya's such a dumb guy 
    to call Bosniacs "Bosnians"
    So often Al Gore makes attacks 
    without having read his own tracts
    And he would be sad  
    to learn that he has  
    said "Bosnians" not "Bosniacs"

    that workers at State 
    now leave all their doors open wide?
    Others in need just can't wait

I made some in-White-House duns.
    I fear that I can't

    refuting the claims of John Chung.

    And since there's no way to dodge blame,

Gore defends Zipper; Impersonates Gipper 
(limerick 20000313-01)
    A shameless campaigner named Gore 
    now mimics the Gipper of yore.
    With hairdo retread 
    and tilting his head, 
    he tries to invoke Gipper's lore.
    Subliminal efforts like that 
    make fiction seem like it's a fact,
    but sooner or later 
    while playing debater 
    his scheme will become his own trap.

    His mimicking Reagan that way 
    will give Bush a good chance to say: 
    "Your hairdo retread 
    and tilting your head 
    don't equal his good-natured way."
    "You mimic the style of the Gipper 
    with help from Naomi and Tipper."
    "I knew Reagan then; 
    he was my good friend, 
    and Gore, you are surely no Gipper."

--Inspired by Gore's recent, obvious efforts to adopt Reagan's hair-style and his mannerisms in answering questions.

Gore wins among hard-core Democrats (limerick 20000202)
    As Granite-heads went to the polls, 
    they almost left Gore in the cold
   
But he said with glee, 
    "Unlike Tennessee, 
    I didn't fall short of the goal."
    He got almost no independents, 
    which left him with Clinton's "descendents."
    It soon became plain 
    they went for McCain 
    and Bradley was left with the remnants.

    But even in that shrunken field, 
    Bill Bradley was hot on Gore's heels.

    he won't get more
