POPSHagan Drops Lawsuit Against Dole It's a pity this lawsuit was dropped. Had the suit been successful, it might have set a precedent that would have made outrageous campaign commercials prohibitive. The amount of outright libel and slander and mendacious innuendo that goes on in political campaigns needs to be made costly.

POPSOn Proposition 8: Something to consider For years, the California Christian right apparatus, long hampered by their nativism and racism, had been unable to make inroads into the state's brown, yellow and black population - a demographic goldmine in a state that is more than 50 percent minority and growing. Prop 8 may prove their goldrush. From the very beginning they bought up ad space in Chinese, black, Spanish, and Korean media; they hosted massive rallies for ethnic Christians. The Sunday before election day, I went to Los Angeles City Hall for the most celebratory, most diverse rally I have ever attended; it was organized by Yes on 8 Chinese advocates.

POPSMaricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's War On The Leftist Media The Republic used to be a middle of the road newspaper until Keven Willey became editorial page editor in 1998. Under her lead, the paper took a hard turn to the left. Willey left in 2002 to become editorial page editor of the Dallas Morning News. That newspaper has had a steep decline in circulation throughout Willey's tenure, most recently decreasing 11.7% since 2007. At the same time the Republic began declining, a right-leaning blog called espressopundit.com emerged and devoted considerable coverage to the Republic's demise. Blog owner Greg Patterson had access to inside information, revealing in advance layoffs and other shakeups at the paper, accompanied by photographs of a sinking ship.

POPSObama To Combat “Joe The Plumber” With Average Americans Of His Own ... and Joe Biden starts to knock him around, carping that no real plumber makes $250K. Biden calls Joe the Plumber "the 250 guy," with the plumber now mum on his income. He just says he would like to make that much. The plumber was quoted in the hometown Toledo Blade thusly about Obama's "spread the wealth" cutoff of $250K: "That's a pretty socialist comment. Two-fifty ($250,000) is his number now. When is it going to be one fifty ($150,000), when it's going to be one hundred ($100,000) ?" He's far from the first one to apply the term, of course. Google "socialist" and Obama. You'll be awash in hits. Recently actor Jon Voight wrote this: If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way. http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/10/joe-the-plumber-2.html

POPSAtheists combat religion on buses "Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride - automatic tax breaks, unearned 'respect' and the right not to be 'offended', the right to brainwash children," Professor Dawkins said. "Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side. This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think - and thinking is anathema to religion." His outspoken comments are backed by BHA chief executive Hanne Stinson, who said the advert would be welcomed as a "breath of fresh air" by many. "If it raises a smile as well as making people think, so much the better."

POPSThanks, Senator Obama! My Transition From Wonk To Star Wasn’t there, perhaps, something more in that sentence? Something that might, you know, accurately portray my views? A little more Googling to find the original story and, yep, there was more. Though the ad ended the non-quote with a period, it should have used an ellipsis. Oddly enough, the rest of the sentence which the ad “disappeared” criticized the Obama tax plan. Of course I’m flattered that the Obama campaign thinks so highly of me that they insist on giving me national exposure. I just wish they had called me first, to verify the information in the ad. I imagine they’re pretty embarrassed now that The Heritage Foundation’s lawyer has notified them that their advertisement is false. In fact, the campaign must be feeling really sheepish about their gaffe. They haven’t worked up the nerve to apologize to me, or even respond to our lawyer’s letter. Perhaps they’re still debating how to set the record straight.

POPSSo Far It's About $250K or $200K or $150K or $120K Income Bracket
“Sen. Obama has made a lot of promises,” McCain said. “First, he said people making less than $250,000 would benefit from his plan. Then this weekend, he announced in an ad that if you’re a family making less than $200,000, you’ll benefit. But yesterday, right here in Pennsylvania, Sen, Biden said tax relief should only go to ‘middle class people -- people making under $150,000 a year.’ It’s interesting how their definition of rich has a way of creeping down.” As reported by MSNBC, the Obama campaign later said Biden was citing “an example of what someone making that amount would get under Obama’s tax plan. Indeed, Biden’s $150,000 remark came after he referred to someone making $1.4 million.” MSNBC also points out that Obama said at one forum in August that, under his plan, “if you make $150,000 or less, you will see a tax cut. If you’re making $250,000 a year or more, you’re going to see a modest increase.” I thought the tax-cut threshold was $200,000, not $150,000.

POPSGuilt By Association in North Carolina First its the McCain campaign. Now its Elizabeth Dole. How shameful and how shameless. These tactics are wrong, they degrade the so-called "conservative" movement. In this case they debase Christians and God fearing people generally. Kay Hagan is a Sunday School teacher. This kind of campaigning is disgusting. Do they not know how damaging this is to themselves and to the political process? How can they look themselves in the mirror? These people are destroying American values so much they might as well be terrorists themselves. Joe McCarthy is hootin an hollerin in his grave.

POPSAtheist Ad In London, an Humanistic group is purchasing ads on the sides of buses. The quote from the ad is the first in the clipped quotes. The second clipped quote is from Richard Dawkins, probably the most famous atheist. He thinks those who believe in God have checked their brains at the door. However, the greater thought you put to God, the more faith you have, not less. When you deal with the issues with life--like the quote put on the buses--it should lead you to God. The last quote is from a Christian. The issue with Atheism is that they don't deal with real life. "Don't worry, be happy" doesn't deal with the questions people are really asking. If people decided to run an ad like this in your town, don't fret, but engage people in the discussion. God can and will use these to bring people to a greater understanding of who he is.

POPSSalt Comes In Gourmet Flavors & Designer Colors 
Mahatma Gandhi used salt to launch his first major campaign of non-violent civil disobedience. By picking up a pinch of salt left by the tide, he broke the British law making it a crime to possess salt not obtained from the government monopoly. Salt wasn't always readily available or cheap. In medieval Europe it represented a third of the income of Poland's kings. The ancient Egyptians salt-cured their fish. The Romans were big salt-users. They paid the soldiers in salt." Which is apparently where the term "worth his salt" came from, and the word "salary" and "soldier. You may not know this, but salt is used in the manufacture of some 14,000 different products. "SALT, A World History" is a book that shows how an item of food becomes a commodity of trade, so it becomes economically important, then it becomes politically important and eventually it becomes culturally important" I Highly recommend Kurlansky's book . It put history into a different perspective for me & I enjoyed
