POPSMost wet behind the ears, Sarah Palin 4 President I am still in a state of shock over McCain's pick for a running mate. On the Internet there is a site (http://www.inews3.com/landing.php) where you can put in your own name for President and a propaganda video will appear announcing you or anyone you choose, as a candidate for president of the USA. Using Sarah Palin name is as apropos as any Jane/John Schmo. Holy cow, haven't we had enough of the PETER PRINCIPAL ("In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.") in the oval office? Goes to show what McCain really cares about... AND IT AIN'T "WE THE PEOPLE"! thinkingblue

The clip delves into the political dynamics at work in Michigan.

POPS"You Furnish the Pictures and I'll Furnish the War"
Both repeatedly called for armed intervention, then later, all-out war. The atrocities General Weyler committed in Cuba were massively hyped and sensationalized in the US newspapers, then engaged in a practice known as "yellow journalism". The two kingpins of the press at the time were William R. Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, who were embroiled in a vicious circulation war, in which Hearst even "stole" Pulitzer's most popular writers by convincing them to defect through promises of money and positions. Hearst's major publication was the New York Journal and Pulitzer's publication was the New York World. In order to grow their circulations, both men were willing to go so far as to make up stories. The Spanish-American War was not the height of Hearst's power. Afterwards, he continued to grow his media empire for several decades, and even successfully ran for a seat in Congress. Hearst was the rough basis for the wealthy journalist-baron in Orson Welles' Citizen Kane.

POPSJohn Edwards waving Good-bye At this point is hard to believe anything Edwards says. He denied the affair, he said, because the Enquirer had a lot of “falsities” and he was 99% HONEST! What kind of garbage is this?? A lie is a lie, period, there is nothing HONEST about telling a lie,

POPSName That Party Cont... The commercial comes against a backdrop of lingering resentment by some black ministers in Memphis at Mr. Cohen’s election in 2006. Several have been outspoken in the view that a district that is 60 percent black should not be represented by a white man; Mr. Cohen, who is Jewish, was the object of boos and jeers at a meeting of the Memphis Baptist Ministerial Association last summer. Anti-Semitic fliers — “Why do Steve Cohen and the Jews Hate Jesus?” one asked — written by an African-American minister from outside the district have also been circulating in Memphis.

POPSMcCain Suggests His Wife Participate in Topless Contest Anything to get a vote. The tragedy is that given Sen. John McMad's history of interpersonal aggression, resorting to objectifying his wife in this manner to pander to veterans at the event is so plausible that any denials the campaign might make about him not knowing the prurient details of the contest seem doubtful.

POPSObama-Backed Ally Forged Pact With Radical Muslims New book details intervention in Kenyan presidential election Two separate video segments in the news broadcast document that Obama spoke at the offices of Kenya's oldest newspaper, the Standard, where he accused the Kibaki government of suppressing freedom of speech, and at the University of Nairobi, where he accused the administration of corruption. Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua, who accused Obama of meddling inappropriately in Kenyan presidential politics. Mutua said politely but pointedly that "I think Odinga has to look at critically where he is receiving his advice from. Just because somebody wants to run for president, and he is using Senator Obama as his stooge, as his puppet, to be able to get where he wants to get." Odinga, representing the Orange Democratic Movement, or ODM, and Sheik Abdullah Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, or NAMLEF, signed an agreement Aug. 29, 2007.
