POPSFalse Internet Claims And Rumors Debunked: FactCheck.org
A few of these claims were included in a chain e-mail by a woman named Anne Kilkenny. We'll be looking into other charges in that e-mail for a future story. For more explanation of the bullet points above, please read the Analysis. CNN's Soledad O'Brien made the claim on Sept. 4 Palin slashed the special education budget: She tripled the funding per-pupil. One false rumor accuses then-Mayor Palin of threatening to fire Wasilla’s librarian for refusing to ban books from the town library. Some versions of the rumor come complete with a list of the books that Palin allegedly attempted to ban. The story is false on several fronts: Palin was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party – which calls for a vote on whether Alaska should secede from the union or remain a state – despite mistaken reports to the contrary. But her husband was a member for years, and she attended at least one party convention, as mayor of the town in which it was held.

POPSOn Petraeus' Counterinsurgency Guidance That's all well and good, but it's just unfortunate that no such organization exists. I'm still not sure why we keep asking the Army and Marine Corps to do such a thing. Back before the insurgency in Iraq started, it was commonly known that the purpose of the Army was to "break things and kill people." Therefore, if that wasn't your intent (the thought went), then you shouldn't be utilizing the Army. As far as I'm concerned, that still should be a general rule. If we can't "kill our way out of this endeavor," then we need far less reliance on the military to fix Iraq. Because that's what the military does.

POPSThe Myth of FDR These bullet points are from a good article about the myth of the FDR presidency. I personally rank FDR as one of the worst, and most devastating presidents that this country ever had. Hillary Clinton has a chance to better that.
