POPSGood Reasons for Church State Separation This excellent article (of which the clip is merely a teaser) spells out in a logical and reasonable fashion what is so wrong about the inclusion of a religious motif in the command structure of the military.

POPSDissent Taboo Certainly dissent harms the bottom line. And don't even bring up laws to ensure worker safety and fair pay. The power change in Washington and it's impact on Chinese relationships will be interesting to watch.

POPSA Deeply Disturbed Man Like many, I watched with a combination of fascination and horror as the outgoing President offered his version of his mea culpa to the American public. Never before have I seen such a concentrated display of lying, self-deception, spinning and hubris. Did I mention lying? Less than a week to go. Good riddance.

POPSNine Days to Go First indication that the new administration might hold Bush and his cronies accountable for war crimes.

POPSHypocrite in Charge I seriously suspect this man is insane. He lied about the Iraq mess, cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis plus our own service men and women, bankrupt his nation and stained American prestige at home and abroad. If anyone does not have the right to accuse anyone else of "bullying and intimidation" it's this man.

POPSA Way Out? If it wasn't for the thousands of US servicemen's lives lost and the hundreds of thousands Iraqi lives lost this entire escapade would be humorous. The Stooges in the White House still might find a way to blow this. Come on 2009!

POPSFailed Oilman Bush Acts Again He was a failure as an oilman and as a President. More offshore drilling wil have no effect on the price of oil and most sane people know this. One could therefore speculate if this is driven more by George's twisted relationship with his father or just another example of his gut feeling thinking. Next year can't come soon enough! This man has done enough damage already.

POPSNever Say Never Like many Americans, I had lost hope that Bush would ever be brought to justice for his lies to the American people and his abuse of the Constitution. I don't wish to jinx things but is this the beginning of hope that Bush will now be held accountable for his crimes? We'll have to wait and see.

POPSDrugs and Crime Scraping the insane drug laws which make it profitable for criminals to engage in drugs in the first place would be a great start. Admit it's a medical and not a legal problem. Turn the resources to that end that are now squandered on law enforcement.

POPSSome Bushies Have a Conscience Oh my. Surely Perino could do better than the "disgruntled employee" excuse? I find it interesting that emerging facts track exactly what us elitist leftest were saying all the time. HA!

POPSBush is an Idiot Bush, never one to rely on diplomacy when bombs will do the trick, opens his mouth again and nonsense spews out. What a loser.

POPSBush is a Moron Bush's simple mindedness is exemplified perfectly by this moronic statement. Thank goodness this is his last term. Here's hoping it's not too late to correct all the stupid decisions that he has made during his administration.

POPSTorture President I to Torture President II Aside from the immoral aspect of torture, why has no one questioned the idiotic Republican claim that they have prevented terrorists attacks since 9/11? Seems to me that close to 4,000 American soldiers and by some estimates close to 1,000,000 Iraqis have died as the result of terrorism. I suppose it depends on your definition of terrorist.

POPSBush's Legacy? Torture I have nothing but contempt for this man. In fact, I actually have serious doubts concerning his sanity. His reign can't be over soon enough.

POPSFacts Don't Impress Bush What an ignorant, biased, bigoted, ideologue. Do you people still want to elect a President that you could sit down and "have a beer with"?

POPSCleaning Up After George --- Again! If Bill and HW do join up to clean up 8 years of Bush Jrs screw ups at least Bill will have someone with vast experience in doing just that. Who better than Papa Bush, who routinely bails Little George out of most any endeavor Georgie attempts. HW has more patience than I do.

POPSBush Lies Again...and again...and again Make no mistake. Bush's real reason for this veto is his indebtedness to his rich friends in the insurance industry. He doesn't care about health care. He cares about profits and an economy based on the doctrines of Milton Friedman. Bush even made remarks to this the last time he vetoed this legislation saying that he would never allow "socialized" medicine in this country. What a dork.

POPSDown the Rovian Rabbit Hole I wonder if Rove, having lied for most of his life, has bought into his own mythology? Someone should introduce him to the concept of Google. I'm going to go quietly now and pull all my hair out!!!

POPSDeaf/Dumb/Blind President Perino needs to retake a basic math class. She refers to appeasement of radical groups; yeah, like 66% of the country has turned radical. And mouth-breathers still buy this crap.

POPSStumbling Into Democracy The legislative Dems, while not full fledged vertebrates yet, have shown signs of awakening. This spit in King Bush's eye is a start. Yet there is wonder among many Democrats what exactly the plan is? They want action, and they want it now. This burying of the Impeachment Resolution has pissed off a lot of Dems and this doesn't really make up for what is perceived as too much politicking and not enough doing. Now the wait is on for what's to follow. It doesn't appear that the leadership will listen yet to the people's voice.

POPSBush/Cheney Get Free Pass on Torture I would imagine both Bush and Cheney are breathing a sigh of relief after have Mukasey confirmed as AG. Contrary to popular opinion his choice as AG has nothing to do with restoring the Justice Department but everything to do with saving the Marquis de Sade duo in the White House from criminal prosecution and imprisonment down the road.
8
POPSHypocrite of the Century The meat of the controversy is Bush not wanting to disappoint his Insurance Indutry buddies who are raking in fortunes. And aren't federal employees covered under a "federalized" health care system? I don't think Bush even cares to hide the truth of his incompetence any longer. Every day he becomes more and more detached from reality.

POPSThe Insane Emperor Spews Forth Again How can the leader of the most powerful country in the world be such an idiot? He disgusts me every day. The last line of the above clip is odd. I would think that most rational people, not only human rights groups, would think waterboarding is torture. We prosecuted the Japanese after WWII for it.

POPSRepublicans Toe the Line Republicans again appear to be without a moral compass. They are presented with a program that has been demonstrated to work (SCHIP) yet they cling to their political dogma of privatization and shrinking of government. I find it stunning that they so hate the idea of government actually helping citizens that they would fight against a proven winner.

POPSSpeaking Truth No matter what you thought of Carter as president, as a man he at least has the moral courage to say the truth. The same cam't be said of the whimpering little stooge in the White House now.

POPSThe Chief Liar Bumbles Along Alone The thin lipped little liar is spewing forth again. It kind of reminds me of "I did not have sex with this woman" but that is where the comparison stops. Clinton lied about sex which had no relevance to how he governed the country. Bush lies about torture. This has troubling and far reaching consequences for this country. What a weasel.

POPSMind Numbing Hypocrisy It's gotten tot he point that this administration has become so detached from reality it is simply amazing. It's equally amazing that somwwhere around 25% of the population still buys this crap. How utterly stupid can some people be.

POPSWhen Industry and Scienc Marry We've seen a proliferation of this happening since Bush took office and his cronies were appointed to key watchdog organizations. They win and we lose.
2
POPSLies, Lies, and More Lies Dems need to get it together and de-fund this fiasco. They have the votes needed to block funding legislation but not the balls to actually do it. Politics wins over reason. Same crap over and over. We're truly stuck in a Groundhog Day nightmare.

POPSNew Bush Doctrine Bush's new stance. Under his administration the only way to go is up cause we're already at rock bottom.
