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."

POPSAFP: World hails Obama's 'brilliant' victory A victory for the American people, and definitely something to celebrate the world over. The article has quotes from various world leaders, just about all looking forward to a new era in American governance. A very interesting bit from the end: 'In Obama, an ancient fishing town on the Sea of Japan -- Obama means small shore in Japanese -- residents dressed in Hawaiian skirts did a hula dance in celebration, embracing Hawaiian-born Obama as one of their own. "I'm so excited because Obama shares our town's name. But even if the town was called McCain I would still support Barack Obama," said 44-year-old dancer Masayo Ishibashi.'

POPSWoman Calls a Spade a Spade, er.... a Muslim a Muslim Muslim groups protested her statement, calling it hateful racism. Where these groups protesting with their fellow muslims hacked off several heads of innocent victims on video? Nope. Listen. When a person adopts the muslim faith and prays in the mosque, they are muslim for life. Some may change their religion, but in the eyes of fellow muslims, they remain muslim. The fact is Obama was once a muslim in Indonesia. The fact that he joins a black America-hating congregation that purports to be Christian doesn't make him one. This woman is correct. Obama is a muslim socialist. And muslims are our enemies.

POPSWhich Witch? Ironically, the picture they've chosen to use is not one of pagan women, but a group of English church women. They're all Christian.

POPSSatisfied? Now? Who Are These People? One of the first people I met was "satisfied," but she'd also been drinking that afternoon and wouldn't let me use her name. (I directed her to the closest bar.) Later I found a really sweet couple satisfied with the way things are going in America, because they live in Canada. Lynda Race, of Arlington, Va., who is "almost 50," boiled it down: "I love America. Where else would you be more satisfied?" Clip Song

POPSPre Spinning a Palin Loss Wouldn't it be nice if once, just once, somebody actually surprised us? The more I look at our political system the more I need anti-depressants.

POPSRush Limbaugh Hates Mexicans - But in a Funny Way! My problem with Rush is not that he's a bigot. Bigots are actually funny to me in the way that people who still wear parachute pants give me a chuckle. What bothers me about Rush's ilk is that they don't actually have the stones to be real racists or women haters or anti- Semites. Though they irresponsibly fan the flames of hatred, they don't own the strength of their convictions. When they are called on their stuff they run back to their bunker, which is heavily fortified for a reason, crying "but it was only a joke!" Like when Rush joked that Obama was a "haf-rican," or when he jested that Obama was a "magical negro." Oh, the hilarity. Be a man, Rush. Be a hateful man, but be a man instead of a pasty- lookin' crackhead drug addict whose wives keep ditching him 'cause he's impotent. That last bit was just satire, of course, so please don't take it out of context.
