POPSButtock cleavage - Fashion Trends In Reverse! n the early 2000s it became fashionable for young women and men to expose their buttocks in this way, often in tandem with low rise jeans. The Cincinnati Enquirer called it the "new cleavage", and expressed views that "It's virtually impossible to find jeans to cover your hipbone". In reaction to this trend, Saturday Night Live aired a parody advertisement for a product called Neutrogena Coin Slot Cream. Low-rise jeans sometimes also resulted in what is often called a whale tail—the appearance of the waistband of a thong or g-string above the waistline of one's pants, creating a shape resembling a whale's tail. British designer Alexander McQueen was particularly mentioned as the originator of buttock cleavage revealing jeans, known as the "bumster", in cultural critique Sheila Jeffreys' Beauty and Misogyny: Harmful Cultural Practices in the West. United States Patent 6473908 registers a design for buttock cleavage revealing trouser designs.

POPSBarack Obama's Stealth Socialism
Following this discredited Marxist model, he believes government must step in and redistribute pieces of the pie. That requires massive transfers of wealth through government taxing and spending, a return to the entitlement days of old. Of course, Obama is too smart to try to smuggle such hoary collectivist garbage through the front door. He's disguising the wealth transfers as "investments" — "to make America more competitive," he says, or "that give us a fighting chance," whatever that means. Among his proposed "investments": • "Universal," "guaranteed" health care. • "Free" college tuition. • "Universal national service" (a la Havana). • "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families"). • "Free" job training (even for criminals). • "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels). • "Free" child care and "universal" preschool. • More subsidized public housing.

POPSJoe the Plumber: The Internet Buzz I'm sure the National Enquirer is already hot on Wurzelbacher's trail, so expect to hear more on Joe the Plumber soon. In the meantime, I'd like to get Joe's number - my bathroom faucet is leaking. Before the debate Joe was interviewed John Gibson (right-wing talk radio). Lo and behold McCain brings this guy up during the debate. Coincidence or right-wing propaganda? And why is it that middle-class America is always represented in politics by a white guy? And why does Barack Obama have to pander to the "Joe Plumbers of America?" Because the Republicans use race to divide opinion. That's been in their play book ever since Nixon. I know plenty of hard-working middle-class black and latino guys. Change can't come soon enough for me.

POPSAppeals Court Sides With Ohio Secretary of State "The ... Court of Appeals has halted another partisan lawsuit in Ohio," she said. "Under the Help America Vote Act, this verification process is not and has not been permitted to be used to determine a voter's eligibility." The orders stemmed from a lawsuit the Ohio Republican Party filed against Brunner, whom Chairman Bob Bennett called "the most partisan secretary of state in Ohio history." "It's a shame we don't have transparency in this election. She has done everything she can to help her candidate," Bennett said. "To not even check the registrations is a travesty of the first class." Bennett said the party's lawyers would determine its next step, including whether to appeal. A message seeking comment was left late Friday at the office of Bill Todd, a lawyer for the party.

POPSFederal Court: Ohio Must Check Voter Registrations Ohio Republican Chairman Bob Bennett accused Brunner of pursuing a partisan agenda and said "her delay in providing this matching system leaves little time for election officials to act on questionable registrations." Bennett said Brunner was destroying the public's trust in Ohio's elections system. "Her shameful actions to disenfranchise Republican absentee voters, block the transparency of early voting and refuse the proper verification of newly registered voters have rightfully damaged her credibility as a nonpartisan election administrator," he said.

POPSHe said he was too fat to die, he lost his appeal, and is now dead He said he was too fat to die; he even called his lawyer over to make sure the prison guards did things right. But did the two students he killed in 1986 have someone to make sure he killed them correctly? How about appealing his decision to kill them? I don't think they could do that.
