POPSall they have is fear... "All they have left is Fear. Hate. Racism. They had Stupidity all along. Don't be surprised if, like JFK, MLK, or Bobby Kennedy, some idiot goes after Obama. That's all John McCain has to hope for. And don't be surprised if the terrorism alert level is raised, and a domestic attack comes out of nowhere. That's all John McCain has to hope for." OUR COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN THIS.

POPSBest president's for the economy? I've looked at this issue a lot. In essence, we're being fooled into believing the Republican's are better on the economy. They aren't and they haven't been. Period.

POPSAyers and Obama
The fact that they are now calling Obama a terrorist because of this is outrageous, even given all the facts. Assume that Obama knew Ayers history, so what? Are you going to resign in protest from a charitable board, or refuse to be recruited because 30 years ago the guy recruiting you was a bomber protesting the Vietnam War, gave himself up to the FBI, who (shock and dismay) blew the intelligence so they had no case. That makes you a terrorist? I must be a hardened criminal because I worked on a loading dock once with a guy who I knew was a loan shark. John McCain consorted with financial criminals who stole money from poor retirees who lost everything in the S&L crisis, he must be a criminal too and a thief and someone who would let retirees pensions disappear on purpose. Actually he's also a racist because he accepted an endorsement from a pastor who was know as a racist. No wait, he's a rampant liberal because he consorted and even sposored legislation with Ted Kennedy.

POPSAnother Lawsuit Filed Against democrat John Murtha Lies, betrayal, deceit, cowardice, and slander come natural to democrats. This pig Murtha is on top of the pile, slandering his fellow Marines for political advantage. "Semper Fi" means nothing to this swine. His motto should be "Never Faithful", along with "war hero" Kerry, adulterer Edwards, and "leave her in the car to drown" Kennedy.

POPSKennedy Released from Hospital Decent of McCain to mention it... sad to see the last Kennedy in such state... almost astonishing how one family could be so blessed and so cursed at the same time. Hopefully he'll pull through this one.. hard to critique the guy when he's ill...

POPSHer's Why we're in an Economic Crisis "This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the mal-administration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it." Also see The Zeitgeist Movie if you haven't already...it explains a lot.http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

POPSNew Cold War on Short Fuse
I believe we are now closer to a real and large-scale nuclear war, more so than every other time in human history. The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 is considered the previous time we came so close to starting a large-scale nuclear war. (There's a good movie about this: "Thirteen Days," and a quick summary of the Cuban Missile crisis can be found, at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis) In addition to this reality and one difference between how President John Kennedy handled it and how the Bush-Cheny-Rice White House is handling it is: President Kennedy took it seriously and he got on TV and told the nation and the world that this was heavy-duty dangerous. Today, repeatedly, the White House says, like in the clip here: "Washington Downplayed it's significance." News Flash - neither in 1962 or now will Russia allow a U.S. missile base be put on it's border. News Flash - Russia will not let the West steal it's Caspian Sea Oil. News Flash - Russia is right.

POPSThe Telling Tale of Two Cities
It’s a tale of two cities. In one, a gapping maw to a deepening abyss warns all to “abandon hope, ye who enter here.” In the other, a shining beacon atop a hill carries the message of “The Man in the Arena,” “whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood … who best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement.” And they know that there are plenty enough fossil fuels on and off U.S. shores to supply the needs of every single American for many decades to come. Ironically, achieving such energy independence is essentially a matter of heeding the words of a Man in the Arena more than four decades ago from a speech he never got to give. The remarks John Kennedy was to give at the Dallas Trade Mart in the early afternoon of November 22, 1963, included the admonition, “America's leadership must be guided by the lights of learning and reason or else those who confuse rhetoric with reality and the plausible with the possible will gain the popular ascendancy.”

POPS'Entourage' in the Sky While the HBO/Virgin deal has some scratching their heads --an Entourage first-class ride complete with champagne and Entourage-branded eye masks is, after all, a bit over the top-- the licensing agreement has some obvious benefits for both parties. For HBO, in flight showings offer a captive audience. And for Virgin, its a way to differentiate itself from rivals and appeal to its core savvy, sophisticated demo.

POPSNot your father's democrats Thus the task before Obama and Biden this week is threefold. They must feign toughness on foreign policy and moderation on values. At the same time they must present their enthusiasm for bureaucracy as sympathy for the economic challenges of the middle class. They must persuade the country that they are not what they are: the most left-wing ticket their party has run in 36 years. You can’t fool all of the people all of the time; 51 percent may be more feasible.

POPSBack to The Future * In 1979, he shared Carter's starry-eyed belief that the fall of the shah in Iran and the advent of the ayatollahs represented progress for human rights. Throughout the hostage crisis, as US diplomats were daily paraded blindfolded in front of television cameras and threatened with execution, he opposed strong action against the terrorist mullahs and preached dialogue. * Biden opposed President Ronald Reagan's proactive policy against the Soviet Union. Biden was all for détente - which, in practice, meant Western subsidies that would have enabled the moribund USSR to cling to life and continue doing mischief. Had Biden had his way, "the Evil Empire" would still be around and Saddam Hussein still in power. The US would still be begging the mullahs of Tehran for forgiveness of unspecified "past sins" - and more American hostages would be seized in the Middle East while the mullahs celebrate their first atomic bombs.

POPSPastor Rick Warren's Saddleback Civil Forum McCain added the two appointments Alito and Roberts are his recent favorites. When asked does evil exist and if so how would handle it? Ignore it, negotiate with it, confront it or defeat it Obama: verbose, wordy ..... he would confront it but also equivocated on what evil is. "We have to have some humility on the issue on the of confronting". Evil has been been committed in the pursuit of good. *sigh* McCain: "DEFEAT IT" huge applause. McCain went on to describe Radical Islam as the greatest threat of the 21at century. He said he would pursue bin Laden “to the gates of Hell,” Gotta love that. Obama's most important advisers: Michelle (the "proud" wife, the grandmother "a typical white person", and then a bumch of politicians - Ted Kennedy, Nunn, Biden et al McCain's most important advisers: Gen. David Petreaus, head of US troops in Iraq; US Rep. and veteran civil rights leader John Lewis, D-Ga.; and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, a top adviser to his campaign.

POPS Newly Released Federal Documents Reveals Julia Child Among Spies They studied military plans, created propaganda, infiltrated enemy ranks and stirred resistance among foreign troops. Among the more than 35,000 OSS personnel files are applications, commendations and handwritten notes identifying young recruits who, like Child, Goldberg and Berg, earned greater acclaim in other fields — Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a historian and special assistant to President Kennedy; Sterling Hayden, a film and television actor whose work included a role in "The Godfather"; and Thomas Braden, an author whose "Eight Is Enough" book inspired the 1970s television series. Other notables identified in the files include John Hemingway, son of author Ernest Hemingway; Quentin and Kermit Roosevelt, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, and Miles Copeland, father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police. The release of the OSS personnel files uncloaks one of the last secrets from the short-lived wartime intelligence agency.
