POPSPalestinian Christians Suffering 'Severe Blows' From Muslims... I have read hints of this but never have I read where a Muslim himself comes out and announces this for all to read. I hope he has some *protection* somewhere. FTA: "Palestinian Christians are indigenous to the land and “no different from us, with the same rights and obligations” as Muslims."

POPSMilitary Probing Abuse of Power by Top Gitmo Brass This is what an evil man looks like. He's not clad in an orange jumpsuit and his name isn't Ahmed or Salim or Omar. This heartless bastard is oddly enough, named Hartmann. You gotta laugh at the stupendous irony.in that. Smile, Mr Hartmann! You're on not-so-candid camera!

POPSCandid Early Photos of Obama Campaigning - Time Some wonderful pictures of the early days of Barack "Barry" Obama's presidential campaign. The ones with him and his family are especially sweet. I'm glad the photographer was there to capture these images. Whether he makes president or not, I believe Mr. Obama will go on to be an influential world leader.

POPSILLUSIONS OF CHANGE The Democratic Party is part of the problem and will not lead automatically lead to change. Obama may be the lessor of the "Evil" and he just may understand that it is the American People that will ultimately have to be far more involved in daily and especially local politics.

POPSBarack Obama Bunny Ears - Campain Headquarters Stop I love these candid shots of Obama's surprise visit to Kansas City campaign headquarters. Especially the bunny ears. Gotta love a man with a fun sense of humor. Unlike George W. Bush's creepy sense of humor where he grabs world leaders from behind saying he's giving them a massage. Bet those campaign workers are glad they showed up to work that day.

POPS'Joe the Plumber'-Gate; GOP Plant? The article cites a few more interesting facts, among which are these. Seems like "Joe six-pack" may have been a GOP plant, unless you believe that republicans show up to Obama rallies and that only FOX News caught him in the "candid moment": -- He is registered as a Republican, and voted in the state's GOP primary in March, county elections records show. But he was previously registered, dating back to 2007, in the Natural Law Party. -- He has lived in McCain's home state of Arizona - in both Mesa and Tucson. -- He lived in GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's home state of Alaska - in North Pole, from September 1992 to July 1993. The quote by familysecuritymatters.org is interesting, particularly it proves "intent" and that website is a neoconservative propaganda front. Of course now the accusations that this not-so-average Joe, who is NOT a plumber, is being attacked is an attempt to out-shout the truth like children on a playgr

POPSMaster Debaters B.O. and JMac go at it again tonight. I’d enjoy it in HD on WRTV, if I probably wasn’t going to be asleep already. Tonight’s Designated Old Media/Old News Guy Host is Bob Schieffer. I was able to unearth a candid shot of Tom Brokaw getting ready for his performance in the last debate.

POPSOut in Hollywood: Starring Roles are Rare “The industry is persuaded that being known as gay will undermine your credibility both as romantic lead or an action star,” said Larry Gross, director of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California and author of a book on media portrayals of gays and lesbians. “They don’t test it,” he said. “We’re waiting for the Jackie Robinson moment when someone tests that assumption and discovers it’s not true.”

POPSFlickr has Porn
As a Flickr member I can opt out of seeing pictures by people who post nude or pornigraphic pictures...but I wonder, who else is looking at them? Should I worry that my granddaughter who is 13 years old may mosey on into one of these porn sites on what I thought was mostly used for sharing family photos, like new babies, picnics in the park and pictures you took during vacation....I also know that some pictures of children are being stolen and used in ads or blogs....I found one of my pictures of my 3 day old grandson on a wordpress.org blog where they talk about having cancer. You can imagine my shock, when I saw his picture displayed (he was yawning and if you didn't know it, he looked more like he was crying in pain)....Evidently the author was trying to lure readers who want to see someone (in this case babies) suffering and in pain...I immediately set the picture to private...when I last checked the image was gone, but my name over it is still there, with a link to my Flickr

POPSThe surge is working? An insider returns home "A Guardian journalist returns home to Iraq to find that far from what we hear in the US, the surge has produced nothing approaching normalcy or peace, but rather ghettos seething with violence, with nothing but makeshift walls dividing the increasingly hostile warring factions"

POPSGasprom Predicts Oil Will Reach $250 I hear a lot of people decrying the "greedy Arabs" for charging so much for their oil. Yet I have close friends with oil wells on their ranches who I admire and would certainly not consider unpatriotic, who sell their crude at market prices. It's going to be a rocky road, folks. I've just converted my truck to burn waste vegetable oil as fuel, and staked out sources of WVO at several restaurants nearby. (see www.greasecar.com or www.fryer-to-fuel.com).

POPSThe Audacity of Dopes: The Regressive Right's Happy Memorial Day Message to the Troops
Look, we'll be candid with you. It's true that we've asked quite a lot from our country's men and women in uniform these last few years. But, remember, the cause was good, and therefore highly worthy of the sacrifice involved, especially because that sacrifice was all yours, not ours. You may have come to think that you were fighting and dying for nothing, but in fact your service has been helping to make sure that we were continuing to win elect... er, that American corporations were continuing to domi... er, that the US was continuing to bring freedom and democracy to the world. Yes, that's it, that's it! Some of you have criticized us for not providing you with adequate armor in this war. Remember that grunt who publicly embarrassed Rumsfeld with his question about that, right before Rumsfeld publicly embarrassed himself with his answer about how you go to war with the Army you have? That was years ago, and we still haven't gotten you the stuff you need. The important thing, thou
