POPSKucinich, Others, Accuse Kashkari of Bailout "Bait and Switch" “I think it’s fairly obvious that Congress would have never passed the had it known how Treasury would marshal the resources it was given.” Kucinich’s battle with Kashkari went as follows, according to a Washington Post blog report. “I assure you the secretary is passionate about this,” Kashkari said. “Passionate about what?” Kucinich said. “About helping homeowners,” Kashkari replied. “Where?” Kucinich asked, sarcastically. “What country?” “We are using all the tools available to ease the credit crises,” Kashkari said. “Let me give you an example…” Kucinich interrupted Kashkari and continued his harangue. “Maybe this is a game to some people in the administration. They’re on their way out of office and they can do whatever they want,” said Kucinich who tried to launch impeachment proceedings against Bush. “Meanwhile, people are hoping against hope” for help with their mortgages.

POPSTrock (Timelord Rock) continues: The band also has a new song called "Exterminate Regenerate" - it's got a synth flair and is actually quite a bit better than "Blink." You can hear it on the band's MySpace page. What can we expect next from Trock? Hopefully a huge upswelling of tragic tales of love and betrayal featuring the Master, along with some angry breakup songs from Sarah Jane. I am prepared to fully back this awesome new trend, as long as nobody spins it off into Twock - you know, Torchwood rock. I am not ready to face that quite yet. Thanks, Ria!

POPS"Dear newsmedia: your imaginary friends are having an imaginary fight" I can't decide whether I'm more amused or annoyed by how often one sees news articles that say things like "from a highly-placed source who spoke on conditions of anonymity because of a prohibition on talking to reporters". Hello there, what part of "don't talk about it" do you think doesn't apply to you?

POPSAngry Fundamentalist Dawkins Spews Out Rant Just kidding. But I thought I'd make fun of the cartoon representation applied to Dawkins of the rabid fundamentalist. The attached video shows the Dawkins I'm used to seeing. I'd suggest it is a bit of a stretch to characterize his manner as strident or intimidating. Compare his delivery to just about any Pentecostal preacher on any Sunday morning and the differences would be quite startling. As far as the content of this video, being familiar with his writing I've heard this argument before and think it bears further investigation.

POPSWomen finally allowed on Jerusalem Buses "When Black-Eyed Peas played in Jerusalem, the bus company photo-shopped Fergie out of the band posters. Boy, was Fergie fuming like an angry minx about this when she came out on stage. Clearly she likes to be on the bus, in the driver's seat. Time was running out for the youthful party, so they approached an advocacy group, the Israel Religious Action Center, whose lawyer Einat Hurvitz rushed the case to the high court on Nov. 8, three days before the vote. Next morning, the judge heard the case and scolded Egged's behavior as "shameful'. Wake Up, Jerusalemites rushed out and plastered their posters on as many buses as they could find, and a sympathetic Israeli press covered the event, giving them more P.R. then they could ever have dreamed of."

POPSFree Speech and Christianity With all the Religious Right whining about the militant atheists (all 3-4 of them) it seems just a tad incongruous for them to react so uncivilly at a book signing. And for the bookstore to cave to their over the top threats suggests that they may need an infusion of moxie themselves.

POPSLiberals clinically mad "The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."

POPSBonuses to Bankers - From the Taxpayers OK - the democrats are in power. Let's see how they can prevent their lobbying pallies from getting huge megabonuses funded by taxpayers. Ain't gonna happen, folks. These fat cats are in democrat politician pockets, and there are no greater whores than democrat pols, who would sell out their own mothers for $$ and power.

POPSIAD, Internet Addiction Disorder "US academics have found that more than one in eight Americans showed at least one possible sign of problematic internet use, with some web surfers already starting to seek medical help." "The Chinese manual would be the first of its kind in the world, adding to the controversy over whether compulsive internet use should be officially viewed as a mental disorder." I think that eventually we will have to recognize it as an added capability of the human, the netting/wired sense or a sort. certainly not a disorder.

POPSWeeping - A Tribute to Those Who Have Been Lied To I knew a man who lived in fear It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near Behind his house, a secret place Was the shadow of a demon he could never face He built a wall of steel and flame And men with guns to keep it tame Then standing back he made it plain That the nightmare would never ever rise again But the fear and the fire and the guns remained... It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow He tells the world that it's sleeping But as the night came 'round I heard its lonely sound It wasn't roaring, it was weeping It wasn't roaring, it was weeping And then one day, the neighbors came They were curious to know about the smoke and flame They stood around outside the wall But of course there was nothing to be heard at all "My friends," he said, "we've reached our goal. The threat is under firm control. As long as peace and order reign, I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain Why the fear and fire and the guns remain."

POPSHeadlines from 2020 - Part V
• The Amish are relocated en masse to unelectrified penal colonies in Alaska because they refuse to pledge allegiance to anyone but God; they fail to accept that Obama is God. Unlike other deportations, this one saves the People's State money because the Amish are pacifists. Their formerly productive farmland is redistributed to ACORN staff and people George Soros likes (until he quits liking them; people do not think about what happens after that). Results similar to those in Zimbabwe fail to be reported in the state media. • The Amish are joined by those Rastas too stoned to fight back, although some Rastas merely remain under state suspicion after conceding that, as per Bob Marley, "the Almighty God is a living man" refers not to Haile Selassie but Barry Obama. • The Red Cross becomes the Red Circle (aka the Red 'O') and blood donations become mandatory. Those without recent donations are denied bread rations. . Mandated "volunteer" camps teach youth educational value of

POPSA 2008 post-election promise More: No presidential candidate in my lifetime has inspired me as much as has our new President-Elect, Barack Obama. On election night, in the spirit of unity and conciliation, he asked us to “resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics”. He asked us to remember the values we all share, and he promised that he would be the leader of all Americans, not just the ones whose support he already has. In this same spirit, I wish to refrain, at this historical moment, from pointing out that your first major prediction for the post-Obama world — that angry coloreds would riot in the streets — has utterly failed to come true. Now is not the time for blame. Now is the time to put one another at ease, not to put one another on edge.

POPSThis Election Was Personal - And Angry The elections were only the first step. A promise of change. Now, we wait... Obama was elected and that gives great hope, but the problems still remain. Unjust greed-driven wars, torture, economic turmoil etc. There is still a lot of anger out there, so please don't blow it, America. Don't let the world wait in vain for common sense and peace to prevail. Keep the pressure on for change. The world is sick and tired of war. Aren't you?

POPSVoter Intimidation In Philadelphia: Law Enforcement Intervenes Evil Republicans want to intimidate poor people by requiring some kind of polling place ID verification, under the cynical guise of attempting to curb the coordinated voter fraud we now know to be occurring across the country. If only they knew that a much more effective method of intimidation is to have armed supremacists simply block the entrance to the polling place. ”We will not allow some racists and other angry whites, who are upset over an impending Barack Obama presidential victory, to intimidate blacks at the polls,” said. “Most certainly, we cannot allow these racist forces to slaughter our babies or commit other acts of violence against the black population, nor our black president.”
