POPSYour Pocket Guide to Speaking Palin-guage (Vol.1) If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you're "reckless." A Republican who doesn't fully vet is a "maverick." If you say that for the "first time in my adult lifetime I'm really proud of my country" it makes you "unfit" to be First Lady. If you are a registered member of a fringe political group that advocates secession that makes you "First Dude." A DUI from twenty years ago is "old news." A speech given without proper citation from twenty years ago is "relevant information." And, finally, if you're a man and you decide to run for office despite your wife's recurrence of cancer you're a "questionable spouse." If you're a woman and you decide to run for office despite having five kids including a newborn... Well, we don't know what that is 'cause THAT'S NOT A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK. Just learned a new one: IOKIYAR: It's OK if you're a Republican!

POPS '24' actor Kiefer Sutherland It's 48 days in the clink for "24" star Kiefer Sutherland. The Emmy-winning actor who plays all-American hero Jack Bauer on the hit Fox TV series pleaded no contest to a single DUI count on Tuesday in a deal that leaves little room for one of his signature TV escapes. Fox issued a statement of support for Sutherland reiterating its commitment to a "long relationship" with him. The actor must also complete an 18-month alcohol-education program and get therapy.

POPSU.S. Leads World in Citizen Imprisonment Consider the high population of China, yet it has fewer in prison, and much lower rate per capita. Why? While the report talks about higher "crime rates" methinks that too many things have become a "crime" on paper, that do not justify incarceration. It is a very simple thing to become imprisoned now, e.g. a couple DUI offenses (it only takes moderate drinking to be over the limit) and you will be thrown into the slammer as a "criminal" in many states. This can be blamed on legislators of the states in particular. Tonight I saw, again, 4 police cars pulling over one vehicle and searching it. This "swarm" mentality of police training (based upon paranoia, as if everyone is an armed assassin) is a waste of resources and generally done for "paperwork" arrests that turn into drug searches, etc..
