We found out when we interviewed Keir Dillon, JP Solberg and Kelly Clark of the Burton Snowboards team last week in their pimp-ass NYC showroom.

First up in this three-part Summer Session is Vancouver, BC, local and all-around backside wall blaster, Keir Dillon … enjoy.

POPSVoters oust Clark as NZ turns right The change of power is more because Helen is seen as the NZ scapegoat for the world's turmoil. She has done a great job of keeping the Kiwi identity alive. New Zealand has not buckled under outside pressures because of Helen. Time for a well earned rest.

POPSWords, words, words Time’s Karen Tumulty, who spotted racist goblins in the recent McCain ad criticizing Obama for seeking advice from Fannie Mae corruptocrat Franklin Raines. A parade of congressional witch hunters for Obama also detects the specter of George Wallace behind every policy bush. Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson says conservative criticism of Obama’s community organizing days is code for “black.” Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks complained to the New York Observer: “They are trying to throw out these codes.” In the same piece, Democratic Rep. Yvette Clark divined segregationist intent in Palin’s references to Joe Six-Pack and hockey moms. “It leaves a lot of people out.” And Democratic Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid echoed Time’s Tumulty on the McCain camp’s Obama/Raines broadsides: “The only connection that people could bring up about Raines and Barack Obama is that they both are African-American, other than that there is nothing.”

POPSPalin - Republican Party Infiltrator? Damning Video. CONTD: "So…basically what he’s saying here, is that Palin’s philosophical loyalties lie with the Alaska Independence Party, but in order to get elected, she had to distance herself from the AIP and infiltrate the Republican Party, because they’re the only ones who can ever actually get voted into office. But don’t worry boys and girls, her heart is still with us, and her sympathies are with the agenda of the Alaskan Independence Party, namely, independence."

POPSRepublicans attack minority voter registration drive.
Part of the success of ongoing ceaseless Republican lies, distortions and corruption of American values is that this news story was reported by most media as: Democrats guilty of Voter Fraud. The clip here, though, explains yesterday's raid by Navada officials on the offices of a poor and minority activist group. Republicans paint this group as a collection of malcontent radical communist. This is another success of their malicious assaults. This group actually lobbies for higher minimum wage, fair housing laws and landlord's living up to requires standards for plumbing, etc. ACORN also registers voters -- which is a very good thing to do -- showing that they want change through democracy. At most, the charges point to ONE worker being lazy and faking registrations to meet quotas. At most, the accusation indicates 300 false registrations out of 80,000 -- that's less than .004% And some of these are "duplicates," which: #1 > Could never work and #2 happens all the t

POPSPalin is a Hypocrite - Shock, Dismay Well, well, well Governor, what have we here? Ooops, I forgot, right wing radical anti-americans are really pro-american, its only left wing anti-americans that are bad. And of course recent anti-american activity is much more forgiveable than thirty year old anti-american activity to which you admit and for which you turned yourself in.
