POPS The Nut Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree which he claimed called in an outstanding loan he had with the bank in an effort to bankrupt his law practice. In 2003, long after the deaths of Johnson, Clark and the rest of the gang, McClellan wrote a book, "Blood Money & Power", in which he lays out a conspiracy theory of how Johnson and Clark had President John F. Kennedy assassinated as well as other people who got in their way. A number of the Texas oilmen alleged to have had a role in the Kennedy assassination were big supporters of the Bushes in Texas politics. Aside from his family problems, he performed the job as ineptly as any White House press secretary I can recall. The Bushies now claim McClellan was fired from his job, but Bush kept the incompetent press secretary on for nearly three years before unloading him. It looks like he's determined to become for Bush what Dick Morris has become for the Clintons.

POPSSome Bushies Have a Conscience Oh my. Surely Perino could do better than the "disgruntled employee" excuse? I find it interesting that emerging facts track exactly what us elitist leftest were saying all the time. HA!

POPSThe Conservtive Gov't of Canada is imitating the Bushies Canada has always been far more democratic than the U.S. when it concerns access to information and transparency in government. Not perfect, for sure, but terrific compared to some of the tricks used in my home country of the U.S. But since the Conservative government, which is essentially made up of remnants of the failed Reform Party, has come to power, they have done everything in their power to imitate the machinations of the Bush administration and its policies of secrecy and outright lying. This article explains how they have now, without any notice whatsoever, closed down the access to information database that is used by journalists and the public to track the goings on in government. Canada must dump Stephen Harper and his gang of regressive assholes, and bring back transparency in government before the entire system turns into a carbon copy of the Bush administration. Harper has said his political hero is George W. Bush.

POPSJohn McCain On Housing More: After casting himself as a "Maverick" in 2000, the new John McCain is walking in lockstep with President Bush, pandering to the right wing of the Republican Party, and embracing the ideology he once denounced. McCain Voted Against Over $1 Billion In Homeless Assistance. McCain voted against an amendment to restore homeless assistance funding to the 1995 level of $1.12 billion, an increase of $360 million from the bill, and offset the costs by reducing funds for the renewal of expiring subsidized private housing contracts On the campaign trail McCain has callously abandoned many of his previously held positions, even contradicted himself, in a blatant attempt to remake himself into a candidate Republicans can accept in 2008. So just who is the real John McCain?

POPSAnother assesment paper.... ....even more staggering than I thought. I read the other day that it is costing about $4000 a SECOND!!!! This is truly friggin' sick---and I don't think we're any safer than before 9/11. Any of you Bushies out there can kiss my ass if you think he's doin' anything to keep us safe or secure. Matter of fact, I'd really like about 5 lousy minutes alone with the bastard. He would not survive!

POPSBu$hies Voodoo Econ The article explains in plain term how we've been screwed and will continue to be screwed unless the system is changed dramatically. Yes, reccession is upon us and throwing chump change at people won't solve the big inequalities.

POPSCanadian Manual Has US on Torture List So, Canada has it right. They are the first country to have the guts to include the U.S. as a country engaging in torture. Naturally, the Canadian Conservative government, which have been Bush lab dogs since they came into office in a minority government, was quick to state that they do not believe the U.S. engages in torture, but they defend everything the Bushies do, which is why Canadians are beginning to really despise these guys. But then again, all I really care about is that the word is finally getting out in a somewhat official manner that the U.S. is doing what they claim they are not engaged in.....torturing human beings.

POPSThe Story of the Bhutto Assassination Keeps A'changin' All al Qaeda all the time is what the new slogan is in Pakistan whenever some kind of untoward attack occurs. The Bushies actually encourage that kind of talk because they too like to make boogie men out of those bastards all too often. I have no love for them either, but let's face it, this one group does not commit every single attack in the world, as much as some people would have us believe. All that being said, even the U.S. is question the Musharraf government's every changing story of the circumstances surrounding Ms. Bhutto's murder. Something truly stinks there, and I do not trust nor believe Musharraf about much of anything he says. Too bad we propped him up when we did. But then again, we also propped up the Shah, and our biggest hero, Saddam Hussein. Need I say more? :-)

POPSAnother couple $100billion wasted... ...friggin' paranoid yet? I think it's a setup. More crap to fear? The Bushies are well on their way to starting another escalation and arms race for sure. Assholes. Do they think every country is gonna sit by and let us get away with world domination??? I think not.

POPS2 Weeks Into Its Mandate and Bushies Wanted to Spy On Us I sincerely hope that Harry Reid changes his mind about supporting the communications bill that gives the communications companies retroactive immunity. It seems now there is evidence that the Bushies started working on plans to spy on our phone calls after only two weeks in office. Please, call your senators and ask them to vote against this bill.

POPSThe War Crimes Keep Addin Up--and Covered Up The military and the MSM do NOT want us to know what is really happening...I can only cry out and hope someday there will be some justice--but the indiscriminate killing goes on while the Bushies claim "the surge is working"! Goddamn them all to hell!

POPSMemorial Day for "Loyal Bushies," Democrats & Dissidents need not apply "This is not the message Bush typically hears." That's the most alarming thing about this administration. It seems many conservatives have embraced Bush's example of willful ignorance. They depend on flattery, censorship and wishful thinking to justify their policies. A soldier who dies for his country is a hero, whether he is Democrat or Republican, whether his family supports the war or opposes it. Excluding some families of fallen soldiers on Memorial Day on the basis of political affiliations is Treason!

POPSWhite House "eviscerates" CDC head's climate-change testimony Ho hum. Once again, the White House censors the presentation of scientific data. Hello? America? Anyone paying attention out there? The funny thing is, this time they said they did it because the CDC testimony conflicts with the IPCC report, which it doesn't. But since when does the White House care about the IPCC? Do they think everyone is stupid?

POPS Sen. James Inhofe::Global Warming Heretic Inhofe recognizes that the Earth is warming, but sees this as part of the natural cycle. Inhofe mentioned the Medieval Warm Period -- 1000 to 1270 A.D. when the Vikings grew crops in Greenland. So he doesn't buy this 12,000-year high. His office referred me to a piece University of Oklahoma geology professor David Deming penned for the Normal Transcript that noted, "The fact that the thermometer wasn't invented until the year 1714 ought to give us pause when evaluating this remarkable claim." The Times' "mainstream scientists" line undermines the editorial's credibility as it ignores the likes of MIT climate scientist Richard S. Lindzen, who argues that clouds and water vapor will counteract greenhouse-gas emissions. Ditto the 60 Canadian scientists who wrote to Prime Minister Stephen Harper that there is no " 'consensus' among climate scientists."

POPSMore bad news This crap could happen to anyone. The Bush regime has moved us into an era of pure absurdity and disrespect for our countries citizens. And the ones carrying out this farce are the ones who are supposed to be keeping us safe. The whole mess will probably be covered up in keeping with the Bushies M.O. God help us!

POPSWhat could be more democratic? Bush may have the courage to debate, but not the talent and skills necessary for a free form debate where the questions and issues are not pre-screened and pre-spun. Oh and of course there is the matter of historical record. The US will not be able to take the high ground. The usual putdowns and re-writing of history typical of the Fox News Ditto Head Bushies won't fly in such a debate. What is worse is that if Bush declines, he will lose face in the Arab world and be seen as weak and cowardly. Not that he had much respect in the first place, but still.

POPSAre YOU a Danger to "National Security"? As the 'Murrikan sheeple continue to blithely follow the Bushies down the path to fascism, ask yourself: Am I a danger to my nation by speaking the truth about the war? about anything. Apparently Our Fuhrer and his cohorts think so. But where does the real danger lie and how do we deal with it? Speak out.

POPSPo' Folk, Katrina's Nightmare Still Going On.
This is a story that should not be hidden, it should be exposed and shouted from the rooftops. 2 years ago, live images came into my living room of incredible sadness and cruelty. I was in disbelief that what I was viewing was happening in America... It looked like scenes right out of the poorest nations in the underdeveloped third world. I was appalled to see such misery. Babies in diapers clinging to their mothers, honest in their distress from the heat and lack of sustenance. Old people dead with blankets covering their decaying bodies. It was sickening! I had a blog at that time and I poured out my frustrations there. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com/2005/09/katrina-exposed-dirty-little-secret.html It helped but not much. I needed answers, WHY was it occurring? Why weren't these people getting help? All I saw were feeble attempts (4 days later) by the Bushies and that was almost as disgusting as watching the torture the New Orleanian poor were going through. And still it goes on!

POPSChertoff to Replace Gonzales? I Don't Really Think So The reason I don't think the Chertoff idea will fly is because it will make for a very contentious confirmation hearing. Bush certainly does not want the entire Hurricane Katrina debacle brought up for another round of commentary and questioning. I think Bush will seek someone who is squeaky clean as far has his administration is concerned, and not terribly controversial. He has enough on his plate during his lame duckedness. Another controversy or bloody battle for a confirmation is not in the cards. Especially with Iraq still being in the boxing ring.

POPSBuzzFlash reminds us of its long-standing (since '01) comparison of the Bushies to the Mob I clearly remember when those first comparisons were made, since then others have expressed the concern that the Bush Administration operates more like the Mafia than the Executive Branch. In the actual BuzzFlash article, the writer cleverly compares Bush tactics to those used by the Corleone family portrayed in the Godfather movie. Both control their insiders in much the same way, through devotion (to cause and to friends) and fear (of personal or professional retribution)

POPSBUSH ADMIN SUBPOENA MICHAEL MOORE Well these days subpoena's are worth a damn, so my guess Moore can invoke the well established legal discipline of "HELL NO I WON'T GO!" and be back home for dinner. Then again he should go, tell it like it is and show that he has nothing to hide. Then he should go to Congress and repeat word for word, under oath, what he said to the Feds and show the Bush administration how its done.
