POPSA Giddy Sense of Boosterism Wake up airheads. Obama is a mongrel, leftist, Marxist, Islamist enemy of what was once the late great U.S. of A. He will be the ruination of everything this country has ever stood for. Behold.The trojan horse you fools have wheeled inside the citidel.

POPS Obama and Ayers: A Radical Pentagon Bomber NYTimes
Since earning a doctorate in education at Columbia in 1987, Mr. Ayers has been a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the author or editor of 15 books, and an advocate of school reform. Steve Chapman, a columnist for The Chicago Tribune, defended Mr. Obama’s relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his longtime pastor, whose black liberation theology and “God damn America” sermon became notorious last spring. But he denounced Mr. Obama for associating with Mr. Ayers, whom he said the University of Illinois should never have hired. “I don’t think there’s a statute of limitations on terrorist bombings,” Mr. Chapman said in an interview. The Schools Project The Ayers-Obama connection first came to public attention last spring, when both Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Obama’s Democratic primary rival, and Mr. McCain brought it up. the archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge at the University of Illinois were opened to rese

POPSQuestioning the Executive Physical's Value All of the big hospitals these days offer executive physicals -- comprehensive medical exams geared toward keeping companies' C-suiters in tip top shape. But ,in an article in The New England Journal of Medicine this week, Dr. Brian Rank with HealthPartners Medical Group and Clinics of Minnesota argues that they're bad for health care. As the Chicago Tribune's Judith Graham highlights in her blog (the article itself is not open to the public online), Rank points out that more, costlier exams are not necessarily better for people. Given how many Americans are uninsured or struggling to afford basic health-care expenses, these extravagant physicals are also a waste of resources that could be spent on much-needed preventive services. I wonder how far this argument will go with top executives, though, who can opt for one of these physicals annually, usually at no cost to them?

POPSObama’s Shifting Positions on Iraq: A Rezko Connection? Obama was at a party on April 3 — two days before the video– with Nadhmi Auchi, a London-based Iraqi billionaire who attended a Tony Rezko party in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune blog covered Obama’s recollection of the party in depth. Late last week, Sen. Barack Obama said he didn’t recall meeting a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire at a party held at the home of his former friend and fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko, on April 3, 2004, because it was in the midst of his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat from Illinois. But a check on the senator’s calendar showed he had no campaign activities on the day of the Auchi party. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that despite Obama’s inability to recall meeting Mr. Auchi, two sources said the senator was present. http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/04/obamas_rezkoauchi_recollection.html http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/rezko/894559,CST-NWS-rezko15.article

POPSA near bankruptcy due to google error... what happened was: "The media company said a single visit to the bankruptcy story in the wee hours Sunday morning, when traffic to the newspaper's site was low, pushed the item onto the list of popular articles. Google's search technology then picked up the story as breaking news, Tribune said." Scary...

POPSJohn Edwards = John McCain Edwards was a typical "guy" in his cheating ways: "But going out and getting stupidly laid and then coming home and reconciling with the wife is not the same as going out, getting stupidly laid, then divorcing the crippled wife and marrying the pretty young thing (and taking out your marriage license before the divorce is final). One is stupid. The other is cruel. Brutal. Heinous. And well within the moral capacities of our Republican presidential candidate." Cenk Uygur, in his regular blog at AOL News, observes, "Now that Edwards has admitted to an extramarital affair, everyone will now condemn him and say he has no political career left. I want to ask all of those people, how is Edwards' affair any different John McCain's? If Edwards is disqualified from running for office because of this, isn't McCain as well?"
