POPS Obama’s Poems Show Real Talent .....example of the genre.” Of note, Politico observes that “the temperate legal language doesn't display the rhetorical heights that run through his memoir, published a few years later.” But then somehow, those few years later, this 33 year-old amateur with no paper trail beyond a hack legal note and a poem about fig-stomping apes produced what Time Magazine has called--with a straight face-- “the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.” The public is asked to believe that Obama did this on his own, almost as though he were some sort of literary idiot savant. I don’t buy this canard for a minute. To enhance the science of this literary investigation, I made some inquiries into the academy. . .he encouraged me instead “to do what you're already doing . . . good old-fashioned literary detective work.” Given that advice, I dug deeper into the memoir of the man who, I believe, tortured Dreams From My Father . . .

POPSShine "Light Of Scrutiny & Accountability” On The Nation’s Financial System Pelosi said,“We want to take our country in a new direction for the middle class.” Something else that should be looked into: Barney Frank’s relationship with a former Fannie executive named Herb Moses. Frank told reporters Friday that starting in January, Congress will “have a major role.” “We have to rewrite housing in America. … It would be highly irresponsible if we were to stop here,” he said. “Now we have to perform more serious reform.” Yet, she mentions nothing about the accountability of people like Sen. Chris Dodd, or Franklin Raines or Jamie Gorelick, the latter two having made millions off of Fannie while the organization itself was sliding into government conservatorship.

POPSFactCheck: "Obama Nation" a "paste-up job" "even a casual glance at Corsi's lengthy endnotes reveals that his 'sources' include obscure Internet postings (which are themselves completely unsourced) and opinion columns from various conservative publications. In fact, on four occasions, Corsi cites himself as a source. Where Corsi does cite news sources, he sometimes presents only those that are consistent with his case while ignoring evidence that doesn't fit the picture he paints. "A comprehensive review of all the false claims in Corsi's book would itself be a book. Our review touches only on a few of the more blatant examples." See link for examples.

POPS*PWNED* Sarah Palin's Yahoo Email Hacked ~Insider Secrets~ I found out later though more research that they met at high school, so I did variations of that, high, high school, eventually hit on "Wasilla high" I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold shower… ----------------------------------------------- The lesson is not to use any guessable or publicly available information in your security settings -- especially if you are famous. Pick something obscure, or lie. It doesn't have to be true: you just have to be able to remember it.

POPSFree Speech A Casualty Of 'Hate' Powers
What had happened is that one of the chapters of Steyn's New York Times' (and for that matter Canadian) No1 bestseller America Alone had been excerpted and published by Canada's largest weekly magazine. The Canadian Islamic Congress, through the agency of three law students, brought complaints against Steyn and the magazine before the federal human rights commission, and also before two provincial ones. (That's another Orwellian aspect to all this; there is no rule against double, triple or any other multiple jeopardy, as there is no limit to how many complaints can be lodged before different tribunals for the same words.) Since then more has come out that makes these Canadian tribunals or commissions seem even more like kangaroo courts than they already did, which is saying an awful lot. The Canadian Human Rights Commission it would not go ahead with the Steyn prosecution (though the Canadian Islamic Congress has just indicated it will appeal that decision)

POPSGender can cost you in individual health insurance "Perhaps this is partly because women are more likely to seek preventive care, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. But this should make them better insurance risks. After all, they're proactively working to stay healthy. And isn't that exactly what insurers encourage people to do? "It doesn't make any sense," said Alice Wolfson of United Policyholders, a San Francisco-based advocacy group. "The insurers aren't assessing risk. They're assessing how much healthcare is used, even when it's preventive treatment." A spokesman for the California Department of Insurance said there were no regulations preventing gender-based pricing for individual policies."
