POPSPalin will not seek re-election Oh my. She must be tougher than nails if she plans to run for President. The Left is relentless now. I can not imagine what they would do to her then.

POPSCost of bringing Michelle to UC Merced?..... Oh my. They should have paid her to stay away; it would have been a lot cheaper. Man! these people are expensive. They need to stay *home* a little more. Geeez...remember when we were irritated by the Clinton's world traveling and multi-speeches near the end of their term?

POPSCongressmen profited from inside information in the collapse? Amen to the last statement of the clip. I'm sick of all of them. Only within the last few years have I begun to realize how corrupted Washington (and everyone, I guess) truly is. I'll admit to being naive because I was raised to be honest...or suffer the consequences. If other high-profile names can be prosecuted and sent to prison...why not these?? And I don't care about their Party affiliation.

POPSGay Duke U. Official Attempts to Sell 5-Year-Old son for Sex. The tone of the article is that there has been no media coverage of this...until now. Yes, the "director" is a homosexual and I don't believe for an instant that this is not a common practice. Daughter lives next to a family whose son has adopted a 4 yr old little girl. It's scary. But WHOEVER violates a child deserves to be outed (no matter their sex, race or orientation) and severely prosecuted. We allow liars, frauds, thieves...all manner of crooks to represent us in Congress; but in my opinion the wounding and violation of children is as low as it gets. Mandoff gets 100+ yrs. for his crimes; what do pedophiles get? Released back into the community and their names/pictures printed on the internet. :~(

POPSPelosi Won't Give Public a Week to Review Text of HC Bill.... We are to accept a pig-in-a-poke from these people...the very people who are to be OUR representatives! Are any of them representing YOU? If this thing continues, our health care system is going to be sooooo screwed up that no one...not Doctors, Labs, Hospitals, Insurance Companies, etc...are going to know what to do. Complete confusion. If the bill is currently this long, with certain parts not included, and other parts to be added later, can you imagine the volumes our healthcare providers are going to have to digest? This Congress & Administration are bringing chaos.

POPSIranian police clash with up to 3,000 protesters Can't be officially verified because of the crack down on the media there. But from another article posted today by the AP: "Obama officials say talks with Iran still possible". From within that article: "Both Rice and David Axelrod, Obama's top adviser, said Ahmadinejad doesn't appear to have the final say over Iran's foreign policy. Axelrod, dismissing Ahmadinejad's harsh language against the U.S. and Obama as "bloviations," said being open to talks with Iran is not an effort to reward the country. "We are looking to ... sit down and talk to the Iranians and offer them two paths. And one brings them back into the community of nations, and the other has some very stark consequences," . The Iranians they would have to be speaking to are the clerics and they are more fanatical than even Ahmadinejad. (what babes)

Hurry. Hurry. Quick, before anyone really understands! s/off.

POPSPolitical Punch I thought our Country was in it's worth financial crisis since the '30s. I thought we were suppose to cut back on extravagances. All those people (the Administration, Congress & families, etc) sure are having fun with our money. (oh, I forgot, they're printing more) They all got raises and free health care coverage, pensions for life..... Talk about the haves/entitled; and then there is us.

POPS"....Most Americans Already Happy with [Healthcare] Coverage The first few years of our marriage (with small children) healthcare insurance coverage was difficult but manageable because of responsible financial discipline. Over the last 30 yrs. we have been very happy & felt secure, cared for by our doctors. Trips to the ER with elderly parents have been a challenge but I do not support this "national Health Care" proposal that is being *quickly* shoved upon us all. Sadly my daughter does not have health care coverage, but has managed to meet her needs & those of her children with assistance.

POPSNK threatens US; world anticipates missile I believe we've heard this from another member of "the axis of evil". And I read yesterday that the USS McCain was no longer following the vessel. Someone suggested that the hands of the US are tied because of our financial obligations to China...I hope that is not true.

POPSNaked hikers to bond with nature this weekend What a bunch of nut-cases! Some people will do anything for attention. Be naked; just don't startle other folks with your weird-dom. Have some of them looked in their mirrors? Enjoy the mosquitoes, the poison ivy, the blow flies, the stickers, the sunburn, the laughter....etc....

POPSWorld Powers May Meet on NK Next Month Amid New Threats And just like with other dictatorial regimes "economic aid & other concession" do NOT work. I hear it's missile is said to be aimed towards Hawaii. Aloha you all...still like the 'hope & change" you voted for? Ya'll can "hope" that NK "changes" it's mind or these threats are stopped dead in their tracks.

POPS"Obama "Very Concerned" At Ayatollah's Comments He's concerned about "some of the tenor" and "tone"...I guess he hasn't been watching the *action* going on there. Hasn't he been aware that the Ayatollah's influence has been a "concern" of some in America and most in Israel for quite some time? Isn't he just the King of diplomatic speak? Reminds me of the rhetoric we hear out of the UN...resulting in nothing but more abuse and oppression of people. The election was a farce; everyone knows it...even Obama. He belongs to that other half of America.

POPSHope & Change -- but Not for Iran Krauthammer notes that this revolution "would mark a decisive blow to Islamist radicalism, of which Iran today is not just standard-bearer and model, but financier and arms supplier." He notes that our President doesn't want to be seen as "meddling"...the very "president who fancies himself the restorer of America's moral standing in the world."

POPSIran's Disputed Election Lots of photos here for anyone interested. I have not doubt the election was a done-deal and it's so sad to see dictatorship in action...wherever they might be.

POPSMilitary officials warned about detainee transfers Sounds like the DIA saw the handwriting on the wall (pun intended!!), gave their assessments, considered that they had done their job and are now letting the cookie crumble. They have CTA and will let the Administration take the fall-out.

POPSemail from Keith Lewis to Prejean Hmmmm... He has big problems with statements thrown at her during the pageant but none with the Playboy offer? This...and the issues with Gov. Palin are about political views and the free expression thereof; especially from females with conservative views.

POPSOur Historically Challenged President FTA: "With all due respect to our president, this assertion is again not fully accurate. The only thing that ended slavery in the United States was the Civil War, which saw some 600,000 Americans — the vast majority of them white — lost in a violent struggle to ensure that nearly half the country would not remain a slave-owning society. Also, the massive urban riots of the 1960s and 1970s were certainly violent." Selective historical interpretation. Probably learned it at those Ivy League colleges and from Rev. Wright.

POPSDazzling?? Too funny to me. ( Sorry. ) Nice time in London??? Our First Lady.... sigh.

POPS77 arrested in child-porn sting Sadly, they'll probably just get their names & pictures in the database and move back into our neighborhoods. Recently I checked ours and we have 9 within a mile of our house and elementary school. Since tattoos are 'in' now-a-days, I wish each & every one would have a *P* put on their forehead. :~(

POPSComedian on 'Today' Show Trashes S. Palin.... No-name Nice gains an audience in the Media for his disgusting comments about Gov. Palin. Letterman...now *Mr. Nice*. Aren't we so proud of the denigration of conversation within our public forums? These pitiful people gain their publicity by their crude & disgusting remarks. Sadly the Media considers it newsworthy. How the mighty has fallen when it's *funny* to so grossly attack a female conservative.
