FIVE EDITORIALS

Site Ed. Note: Raymond Clapper's column today explains the ultimate paradox which the isolationists counseled for the country at this time in history: abandon Great Britain, draw in shipping to the borders, and with it, leave control of necessary raw materials for defense to the Axis. Thus, the isolationist line that all of the materials for aid to Britain were depleting the defenses of the United States was so much poppycock.

And, well, what he said was: "The great goose-pye, which in the Christmas week was always dispatched by the York coach to Bishops-gate Street." (If you know how it was and why it was that we came to this one, then you're on the right track; otherwise, you may be on a dead-end siding somewhere. If so, time to turn about and wheel back to the crossroads.)

Here's another, which he also said: "Kitchener's H-Bone of Beef in Archangel's slings, where the U-2's flew by connection to the Edge of the Pole, where it is always extremely icy." (In order to get that one, you may have to take a look at the blue moon.)

Having just seen "W" last night, we shall refrain from any comment on the first "Visitin' Around" snippet today. Instead, for your edification, we shall simply refer back to an earlier time, posted, by pure coincidence, contemporaneous with the event itself, believe it or not.

We enjoyed the film, incidentally, and recommend it. (We thought casting D-Day as George Tenet was especially good, as well as Alan Shepard as Donald Rumsfeld, not to mention "Do you want me to get the cops?" as the guy who shot the guy in the face.) To what extent we enjoyed the story on which it is based, however, we shall have to reserve judgment for about thirty years, until it has time to ferment in the bacteria of dissubjectivfalcation. So get back to us on it then, for we do not wish to be guilty of parachronismicdeficitism, as any non-dissubjectified viewer would likely become in a chronistic modality of non-objectivfalcation. That was all years ago anyway. Things are much better now. Gas prices, for example, are down to $2.40 per gallon, whereas several years ago they were sticking at $4.00. Well, we could go on, but, as we already stated subjunctively, all things must be judged through the lens of time for better prospective to determine the extent of their entreingenueurism or not. So, we shall have to content ourselves with being more or less non-impatient.
