POPSThe Wall Street Crooks, Elliot Spitzer and Financial Crisis Elliot Spitzer was after Countrywide and others, and was trying to get rid of the corruption on Wall Street. Several articles linked here and Savage's theory of why the crooks on Wall St. whom the government is now bailing out, wanted "the Sheriff of Wall St", Eliot Spitzer, out.

POPSD-Day "Because lying is the problem, truth-telling has become our national cure. Not surprisingly, all this makes recovery a long and often unhealthy process. A woman in Tennessee told me that she had gained 60 pounds since her husband found out she had been sleeping with a co-worker, in part because the couple now spends most of their free time on the couch rehashing the affair. “Neither of us cries as much as we used to, because of the antidepressants,” her husband said. The fact is that many couples, like this one, end up staying together. The Patersons did. The Spitzers might, too, if we give them a chance. Whatever Eliot Spitzer’s and David Paterson’s sins, just surviving infidelity in America may be punishment enough."

POPSIs Faithfullness A Fantasy? All I know is that relationships take a lot of hard work. It's easy to judge others infidelities when we know little or nothing about them or their particular relationship. To me, loving someone means respecting them and their feelings above all else.

POPSThomas Sowell ‘Non-Judgmental’ Nonsense Nor is his 20 years of going to a church whose pastor has praised Louis Farrakhan and condemned the United States in both sweeping terms and with obscene language. The Obama camp likens mentioning such things to criticizing him because of what members of his family might have said or done. But it was said, long ago, that you can pick your friends but not your relatives. Obama chose to be part of that church for 20 years. He was not born into it. His “personal” character matters, just as Eliot Spitzer's “personal” character matters -- and just as Hillary Clinton's character would matter if she had any. We cannot risk all that for the sake of the fashionable affectation of being more non-judgmental than thou.

POPS"Kristen's" MySpace Images In News Stories Copyright Infringement? MySpace’s Terms & Conditions page states that “MySpace does not claim any ownership rights” over the photos users post on the site. It says MySpace has the right to display user content within MySpace, but “This limited license does not grant MySpace the right to sell or otherwise distribute your Content outside of the MySpace Services.” The photos remained on Youmans’s MySpace profile Thursday morning, but had been taken down by Thursday afternoon. That strikes me as incredibly silly, though, and as a relic of the pre-Internet world. Like it or not, Dupree is a public figure now and the images are indeed newsworthy. It seems to me that when a copyright holder puts images in a public forum, that should render them public domain for the purposes of news reporting and commentary. It shouldn’t confer the right to sell said images directly but their use to illustrate a story should be “fair use” under the law.

POPSSpong: Spitzer's Compulsive Behavior and Ours so deep in western civilization which has been fed so constantly by the Christian faith? Of course! Eliot Spitzer is simply the latest example of a rampant sexism that treats women as objects who are less than human. People will quickly forget Governor Spitzer and his high priced prostitute will not even be a footnote in history. I do wish we could some day realize that humanity is fully expressed in both males and females.

POPSSpitzer's Charges Linked to Corrupt Federal Reserve Wow this is hot! We now have established major Jewish-Israeli persons (yes, including Federal Reserve now), agents, even the Mossad in some way linked to the prostitution ring scandal investigation that was used to bring down Eliot Spitzer. In this article BBC investigative reporter Greg Palast makes his case. Consider the Motive for doing such to Spitzer (using the Means of the Israeli connected prostitution ring, used to "control politicians" like this), and you can see that hiding the corruption of the Fed during this present bank crisis would be sufficient for those behind the scenes to "take down" Eliot. (See previous clipmark, Spitzer Taken Down by Mossad? )

POPSBrokers On The NYSE Floor Break Into Applause As attorney general in 2004, Mr. Spitzer staged a press conference to announce the arrest of 18 people connected to an escort service operating in New York City that served as a front for a prostitution ring. "This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multi-tiered management structure," Mr. Spitzer, who oversaw the investigation, said in a statement at the time. "It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring, and now its owners and operators will be held accountable." While his announcement left his staff devastated, his enemies — many of whom Mr. Spitzer accumulated as attorney general when he convened high-profile conflict-of-interest investigations into Merrill Lynch, AIG, and other big-name firms — rejoiced. Footage reportedly showed brokers on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange breaking into applause. http://www.nysun.com/article/72640?page_no=1

POPS236.com - Spitzer Thought Process Flowchart I know, people like Spitzer. He just can't keep his friend in his pants and likes prostitutes and his wife is seriously seriously pissed off at him. There is a great Slate article on the whole PR campaign with how politicians deal wit sex scandals but she seriously looks peeved. This, though, is hilarious!
