POLITICAL CARTOON Current rating: 0
10 Sep 2004
I have reasons especially not to like the times of Clinton's presidency.
As usual, as a picture is more eloquent than 100 words I let it speak for me.

Here is also my poem from the set 'Alice in the Country Behind The Looking Glass'. Just below is the illustration to this poem and then the text of it.

illustr.jpg

Alice in The Magical Shop


The wood got transformed into shop,
And White Queen into sheep,
But transformation wasn't yet stopped,
And wool from sheep got ripped!

Alice shut eyes, lips in surprise
Through smoky bubbles of haze,
And when she dared to open eyes
She saw dark but clean air!

The creature, sitting at her side,
Was something one can't make.
In fact, it was a Dinosaur
With woolen hunch on back.

The woolen hunch continues to move,
Becoming dense and tight.
And soon Alice needs no proof
That hunch is Rabbit White.

White Rabbit is quietly asleep
(Long pants covers legs and thighs).
The Dinosaur then starts to knit,
While showing toothy smile.

White Rabbit's seeing sweet dreams,
And sucking his left paw.
The extinct creature uses many needles,
Promoting new codes of laws.

But in moment, the picture's changed
When, due to failure of buttons,
The Rabbit starts to lose his pants,
And wants to move with it down.

The Dinosaur puts needles aside,
Pushing Rabbit under its belly,
But Rabbit resists, and seems to fight
(Both forget all needles in battle).

However, in short while the Dinosaur wins,
And the Rabbit is back where he was.
He is continuing to be asleep,
While now sucking his right paw.

Though buttons' re not completely fixed
On White Rabbit's long pants.
Being afraid of Dinosaur's teeth,
Rabbit wouldn't ever jump again.

Astounded Alice with shaking legs
Can't watch fights any more,
And then again she wants an egg,
As she has done before!

But as before to get the thing
She needs to leave this store,
Thinking, "Queens, I guess, would be extinct,
If they can become Dinosaurs !"

There is no visible comment to my posting with the name 'The Portrait of the Modern "Distinguished " Politician. There is no hidden comment to that posting either.
The information that it has one comment, which is on the web site, is wrong. I think, however, that a great lot of people want to support this posting, but afraid to do it. As Michael Moore did in his Fahrengeit 9/11
I told in this posting "truth, nothing but the truth" but not full truth, as I didn't mention there Columbine and a lot of other disparate suicidal tragedies, which were so flourishing in the country during Clintons' time. In any occasion the information that my posting "The Portrait of the Modern "Distinguished "Politician" has one comment isn't correct and SHOULD BE IMPROVED ON THE WEB !!

This post was so far down I almost didn't see it. Why is it so far down, people won't get to view it?

Chuck, Ml, Sasha Meredith, and other editors are imposing their negative opinions on my postings, and also placing them always with some obvious disadvantage. I can't do anything about that., at least currently. So, as they are not yet prohibiting my publications on this web, I suggest that you should look for my name specifically , if you want to read my postings. I think that they are pretty valuable and important, expecially currently in pre-election time. Therefore, I am placing them here, in spite of the obvious opposition of this editorial staff.

1. chuck is *not* an editor.

2. how are editors placing articles "with some disadvantage"? This, quite frankly, sounds delusional.

3. The comment to your "Portrait" article is in the hidden area. You'll have to go back a few pages since so much garbage has been posted since.

4. If you have issues with editorial policy of this website, please try reading the policy or coming to a meeting to discuss your concerns.

If I were an editor, and I'm not, I would hide these posts of yours. You are violating website policy. Complaining in comments about this website---off-topic to the parent article in every case---is a violation of the editorial policy. You are being given special privileges. Why, I have noooo idea.

You can read the editorial policy here:

http://www.ucimc.org/mod/info/display/policy/index.php

Your posts may be valuable and important, but when you post obviously erroneous information about this website in your comments, you do nothing to add to your credibility.

I addressed this comment above to Chuck.
There is some syntacsis, which gives misunderstanding. About "policies of editors" on this web site, I, sure, don't like them (and not because I don't understand them or have no idea of what editors are doing) and wait impatiently to have an opportunity to publish my stuff somewhere else. Unfortunately, it is not available for me yet. Editors might have their opinions about my publications the same way as I have opinions about their activities. However, IT IS FREE FORUM, and MY PUBLICATIONS ARE VALUABLE! So, I am continuing to place them on this web until further change of circumstances for the better!!!

By the way, about creditabilities. I don't think that web site should hide any comments. Period. Whoever produce these rules . allowing to hide so many articles and comments should be striped from his/her authority. That is what I think. Free Speech is free speech, and free forum should be free forum. By the way it would automatically eliminate all quarrels with editorial staff, don't you think so? Answering further, I am not worrying about my creditability. Everybody who ever dealt with me knows two things about me: I have talents, and solid integrity. Though, of course, bad temper sometimes, ability to talk too much, etc., etc.. However, my creditability , pertinent to the above, is my least concern!
