POPSEurope's Governments Immune To Obama-Fever BERLIN (Reuters) - European fans will cheer on U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama as he visits Berlin, Paris and London this week, but governments wary of his inexperience and evolving policies fear the euphoria is overdone. Largely an unknown quantity in Europe, the Democratic contender is due to land here on Thursday, kicking off the second part of a foreign tour that began in the Middle East with a speech on trans-Atlantic relations in the German capital.

POPSPlease Don't Shoot Me! Don't point movie guns at audience MPAA says! Cont... Still, the Motion Picture Association Of America doesn't want to take any chances, which is why they told the director of Watchmen, Zack Snyder, that he couldn't have a guy pointing a gun at the audience in the trailer. Snyder replaced the gun with a walkie-talkie. This way, if anyone from 1903 watches the trailer, instead of ducking and/or running for their life, they'll just drop their bowler hat, curl up into a ball, rock back and forth, and mumble into their shirtwaist, "What world is this? What is happening to me? Where am I?"

POPSOn Climate, EPA Punts So, rather than comply with the SCOTUS ruling, the Bush administration effectively shuts down enforcement of the Clean Air Act. And, in doing so, dismisses the EPA's own study. Pigheaded, corrupt, and stupid to the very last day of his presidency. That'll be how history remembers George W. Bush

POPSKennedy's shame
The vaporous slogan posing as a standard is the spoon full of sugar that helps the Court’s enlightened medicine go down. The handiwork that results is not a reflection of our evolved values; it is five lawyers dragging the benighted masses kicking and screaming toward its Utopia — where brutalized eight-year-old girls, like murdered innocents and terrorized cities, are not flesh-and-blood but the props by which we measure how “maturely” we indulge their tormentors. And now, it turns out, so brazen was Kennedy’s power grab that the usual veneer — cloaking judicial tyranny in a self-celebration of societal “progress” — couldn’t even make it through two weeks. The evolving standards Justice Kennedy purported to find stemmed from what he took to be a national “consensus” against capital punishment for child rape. The furious public outcry after the ruling was a pretty good sign that something was amiss in the majority’s survey. Nevertheless, the Court observed that of the 36 states t

POPStorture of Palestinians in Israeli prisons is the rule, not the exception Shame? Israeli Jews & and their supporters with an ounce of shame? They don't even know the definition of the word. The contradictions are obvious. These are the people stuffing sympathy down our throats around the clock about the brutal Nazis. These creatures are EXACTLY the same and even worse. My question is why should anyone feel sympathy for the profiteering alleged victims who, in the present hour, systematically perform the same torture rituals, justifying such barbaric acts with the same lame excuses?

POPSJindal's Exorcism
It terrified me to recall how close I came to turning away from Christ out of fear. The crucifix had a calming effect on Susan, and her sister was soon brave enough to bring a Bible to her face. At first, Susan responded to biblical passages with curses and profanities. Mixed in with her vile attacks were short and desperate pleas for help. In the same breath that she attacked Christ, the Bible's authenticity, and everyone assembled in prayer, Susan would suddenly urge us to rescue her. It appeared as if we were observing a tremendous battle between the Susan we knew and loved and some strange evil force. But the momentum had shifted and we now sensed that victory was at hand. While Alice and Louise held Susan, her sister continued holding the Bible to her face. Almost taunting the evil spirit that had almost beaten us minutes before, the students dared Susan to read biblical passages. She choked on certain passages and could not finish the sentence "Jesus is Lord." Over and ove

POPSAlaska Becomes 9th State to Outlaw REAL ID Tyrannical federal legislation sparked another Civil War against federal despotism, and the states are seceding from REAL ID continually, essentially using the doctrine of Nullification based upon the 10th amendment of the Constitution. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Any state that respects the Constitution and freedom for its citizens will do the same.

POPSIt is time to "consider reinstituting the draft." Ahh the road to eternal war. Either you sign up voluntarily or the money-powers-that-be drag you kicking and screaming into it. Let's start the draft at the top income brackets and work our way down for a change. You want a draft so bad, then get your ass into the military and serve like the people you want to send to their deaths.
