POPS It's Priceless by Thomas Sowell . . . . . while the politicians take credit for generosity and compassion. Employers are ideal targets for such mandates, since there are always more employees than employers, and that is what counts on election day. Whether it is health insurance, time off with pay or whatever, these mandates on employers can be washed down with a little rhetoric about business' "social responsibilities." Where those "social responsibilities" come from is not a problem. It sounds good, and that is good enough for politics. While you are enjoying all the goodies that politicians are sending your way, you may notice that your taxes are going up or that the money you earn or the money you have saved won't buy as much as it used to. Costs that are passed on to businesses can get passed on again to their customers in higher prices. Money that the government prints to spend itself reduces the value of the money in your wallet or in your bank account.

POPS 'Twas The Night Before Elections ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Greed of 'The ONE'~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ And, according to an e-mail plea to supporters, tonight’s the absolute deadline to donate $10 more and receive your special edition Official Obama-Biden car magnet. Having now collected more than $605 million altogether, the freshman senator shows no concern over the appearance of buying the presidency. Imagine for a moment the national political conversation that could be going on now if rich Republicans had raked in that much loot for one campaign. With $605 million already, Obama asks only $10 more from each of us Top of the Ticket ~ Los Angeles Times What with the big media in his pocket, his puppet masters should really love him… http://flightpundit.com/archives/2008/10/23/greed-of-the-one/

POPSWhat Color Is Your Elephant? With Republican running so far behind the Democratic Party in fundraising, it's no wonder the $150,000 spent on Sarah Palin's wardrobe caused a big fuss. However, the GOP has been making a lot of questionable purchases including a thousand 11-ounce chocolate elephants.

POPSMostly awesome Ambitious. Assertive. Dominant. Disciplined. Okay, those are nice traits, and six-digit-income is nice, too (as long as "economic leveling" doesn't rape it out of my wallet). I'm not crazy about 60% of the "Famous Firstborns" though. Oprah and the Clintons? Oh well, the greatness of Winston Churchill and Sylvester Stallone balance the socialists out.

POPSDirty Secret of the Bailout: 32 words no one dare utter This is, deep down in side, what the Corporate-wing of the Republican party is all about: Privatize profits, socialize costs. Because the investment class owns Washington, and they're not about to take it in the ass (I mean, wallet) just because they made stupid, greedy decisions. Work harder, America. You the top 5% are counting on your efforts to keep them in caviar.
