POPSWeisburg's Racist Comments on Election
Author's propaganda tries to turn tables on realities. Despicable barely describes this hateful diatribe. Not in criticizing Reps.,McCain,etc. That's part of the game. I refer to his conclusions. Hopefully we can see through this kind of distortion no matter where we stand politically. If he felt confident in Obama's record he wouldn't need to even go where he does here. It seems that the concept, the equation, coming clear in this time, as we hopefully progress past true racism and the hurt it does to good people, is that, as blatant, actual racism lessens and becomes ever less an immediately impacting harm , less of a component of thought and feeling in our society, there seems to be, hopefully only temporarily, a corresponding yet negatively driven counter-trend of some sort. which insists that, there be a reverse racism taken for granted in order to prove the non-existence of the old, shameful racism.. Speaking for myself, I had, earlier this year, felt most favorable about

POPSBubba The Baby All those years the public believed the Media and it's protection of Bill Clinton. The man apparently had charisma but no core strength. His persona was *created. I never would have voted for Hillary but she is a cut above her husband and even Obama. Hint, hint....how a person is portrayed by the Media & that person's handlers may not be who that person really is....beware of *created* candidates who conform outwardly but are vile and petty on the inside.

POPSObama Vows to Continue Bush's Assault on the Constitution! I am speechless. I was going to vote for Obama until I learned this. I simply can not vote for anyone who sells out our constitutional rights. I feel a little crushed right now (only a little, I am primarily an anarchist). I just wanted an eloquent, seemingly humanist, president for a change. but now I see my old belief still holds true; Obama is just another head of the same beast, all be it more literate and better dressed. This is beyond the pale! I guess I needed this to wake me from my romanticized stupor. I was swayed by his charisma but now see his true colors and they are not red, white and blue. The linked article summed it up best: "as a Constitutional Law Professor, he knows full well what a radical perversion of our Constitution this bill is, and yet he's supporting it anyway. Anyone who sugarcoats or justifies that is doing a real disservice to their claimed political values and to the truth. "

POPSTOP 20 WORST CASTING DECISIONS EVER Part IV (#1!!!!)
Oh, Keanu... At least Mike Myers worked past Wayne's World... and others know when they are in over their head. I love ya Kid but you really are missing that je ne sais quoit, that invisible element called charisma and presence. Hell, the PHONE BOOTH had more presence in the Bill and Ted Series! Do what every other bad actor did when he found he was over his head: play non-speaking roles or Native Americans! Hell, Jack Palance learned to act playing heavies and Indians and by his 70s he had his Oscar! Well, at least your debut was better than Costner and I am not talking about "Flyers" the Cycling movie. Costner began his career as the stiff (literally) in the coffin that brought old friends back together for his funeral in The Big Chill. He had over 4 minutes of footage taken with him in the casket and the editors dropped it to just over 4 seconds for release. You at least had a starring role and look, Ashton Kutcher is in your footsteps!

POPSQuotes from McCain's Wacko spiritual advisers Please tell me this isn't reality. Because if it is, we are all living in a very warped parallel universe of insanity. I have only one thought for anyone who listens to the nonsense put out by some clergy people and that is: JUST BECAUSE THEY WEAR A ROBE OR JUST BECAUSE THESE HUMANS (and I use that term lightly) ACT LIKE THEY ARE A GOOD FRIEND TO GOD, DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NOT CRAZY! (If anyone uttered the sounds these wacks, mouth off and didn't have pastor, reverend minister, parson or preacher in front of their names... They would be laughed at and then carried off to a padded cell!) http://www.thethinkingblue.com/MCCAINADVISERS.html

POPSChristians Mourn Hizbollah Murder Shehadeh, 45, was open to rival theological thought as he always carried a card with a Koranic verse on one side and a picture of the Virgin Mary and Jesus on the other. Yet it was mostly his crusading against corruption in the PA and Fatah as well as his support for locals that won Christian support. The reason he was popular was because he presented a symbol of those individuals who were engaging in resistance,' Awad said. 'People are seeing that Hizbollah has done what others have failed to do either by military operations or negotiations. If Fatah had been able to achieve real steps through negotiations, people would be following that and be feeling more proud of it and more supportive of it,' ...Guardian

POPSBarack Obama criticised over 'cult-like' rallies More “The message is becoming dangerously self-referential,” he wrote in Time magazine. “The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is.” At no fewer than six of Mr Obama’s recent rallies, young enthusiasts have been so overcome with excitement that they have fainted in front of the stage. Indeed, fainting has become so common that a team of medical volunteers is ordered to be on hand to treat the victims, and Mr Obama has interrupted his own speeches to give his followers a blow by blow commentary of their recovery.

POPSNow Is The Winter Of Our Conservative Discontent Perhaps his biggest opportunity to neutralize previous damage is with immigration reform. He needs to make it clear that he no longer favors rewarding illegal residents with permanent residence or a shot at American citizenship, unless they pay some penalty and get back in line in some symbolically and substantively important way. If he is able backtrack and admit doing so, a door opens for him. Schadenfreude Season Obama is reported to have raised three million dollars yesterday alone, raising the question of how far will the Clintons go in financing her campaign, against Obama, the candidate with all the momentum Hillary was known as a tightwad, so this kind of financial drain must be painful indeed for her, and persuading Bill to cough up the dough from his gigs in Dubai, Kazakhstan and other erstwhile friendly states may be no picnic.

POPSHillary vs. Obama: compare weakness
"The caricature of Clinton's self-defeating pragmatism isn't easy to reconcile with the competing caricature of Clinton's self-defeating rigidity. You can argue that the exaggerated pragmatism is an overreaction to the Hillarycare debacle, in which Clinton, arguably, was undone by her rigidity... Perhaps the resolution of this seeming contradiction is that once Hillary is done eliminating everything brave or original from a policy proposal, she defends it to the death." "Obama has hedged on single-payer, he's kept mentions of the Social Security fix out of his Web site's policy pages on taxes and the elderly, and he wasn't in the Senate when the war resolution was voted on. To some extent, Obama's hedging on many of his more controversial stands is smart politics. But an unfortunate result is that he often ends up hiding behind airy generalities and vague-but-uplifting rhetoric, and I can understand why Wolcott would conclude that Obama is too saintly for the Oval Office."

POPSSchizophrenia: The Curse That's Almost a Blessing
A recent study may have found what kind of process goes awry in schizophrenic brains. Researchers found that DISC1 regulates the migration of new neurons in the adult brain. When the levels of DISC1 were reduced in mice during adult neurogenesis, the newborn neurons sped up and overshot their intended targets within the hippocampus, When the neurons finally reached their destinations, they forged an unusual number of connections with neighboring cells, a series of events that might give rise to the abnormal—and quite crippling—brain functions associated with schizophrenia, according to Hongjun Song, a Johns Hopkins neurologist who also worked on the study. It is possible, Song says, that further research will lead to a drug that treats schizophrenia by restoring normal neurogenesis. So what evolutionary advantage could schizophrenia-related genes bring to people who have some of the genes but not the disease? For now, this remains one of the many open questions.
