POPSThe Next Financial Bailout Bill Will Not Work
The truth is often so politically-incorrect. You will note that this was published in the UK, not in a US newspaper, and certainly not from the MSM. In other words get ready for a second hard sell since the first bailout bill was rejected (due to pressure from average citizens). Bush will bully-pulpit, Pelosi and Ried will scream again, and even republicans will line up, both Obama and McCain will push the same pitch and try to get wary Americans to sign on the bottom line. But the plan would not work. He says this is why bank stocks, not just investment firms are falling too: traditional banking – collecting retail deposits and making loans to ordinary customers – is barely profitable. Compared with the potential gains from a day at the currency-swap races, or a night in the derivatives casino, current accounts are cold potatoes. That is why bonus-hungry executives, at what we used to think of as boring banks, were so keen to spin the red-hot wheel of fortune. [/quo

POPSPsychology, Sociology most politically correct fields The first thing that Simmons does in the study with the database — which covers a range of disciplines and institution types — is to identify a politically correct cohort, reflecting largely common views on a set of issues that are seen as defining political correctness. He finds a set of issues that produce this cohort. The views are the belief that gender gaps in math and science fields are largely due to discrimination; support for affirmative action; and belief that discrimination is a key cause of racial inequities in American society. Generally, members of this cohort see race and gender as fundamental — and share that belief much more than beliefs about the curriculum or scholarship, such that the study says that “multiculturalism trumps postmodernism.” Via Tyler Cowen

POPSI’m a Modern Man--CLASSIC GEORGE CARLIN
I'm in the moment, on the edge, over the top, but under the radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom-feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps, I run victory laps. I'm a totally ongoing, big-foot, slam-dunk rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic, a working rageaholic; out of rehab and in denial. I've got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant, and a personal agenda. You can't shut me up; you can't dumb me down. 'Cause I'm tireless, and I'm wireless. I'm an alpha-male on beta-blockers. I'm a non-believer, I'm an over-achiever; Laid-back and fashion-forward. Up-front, down-home; low-rent, high-maintenance. I'm super-sized, long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and built to last. A hands-on, footloose, knee-jerk head case; prematurely post-traumatic, and I have a love child who sends me hate-mail. But I'm

POPSThe politically incorrect truth Liberty for the good of mankind establishes the evidence of successful self-government in light of the abject failures and evils of the collective enterprises of China, Cuba, Fascist Germany, Japan, and Italy, Communist Soviet Union, as well as the Islamo-fascist sharia states of Afghanistan under the Taliban, Iraq under Saddam, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the designs of the Islamists and fascist greens.

POPSOscar-winniing Actress Talks of 9/11 ..challenging the official orthodoxy is politically incorrect still. Of course the MSM, beholden to the Zionist agenda for wars for democracy in the middle east, will incite populist opinion against her. The official story of 9/11 is to be taken on blind faith.

POPSW.Va. May Offer Gun Training in Schools Ahhhh...my home state. Interesting to see who is promoting this idea. All my and my husband's family members hunted. Everyone owned shotgun or rifles. Now-a-days it's politically incorrect to hunt or kill anything. And access to hunting areas is very limited and exclusive, I think. This won't catch on, but it's still interesting.

POPSpolitically incorrect adverts In a politically correct age, they seem like outrageous anachronisms. And there is no doubt these adverts - many taken from the first half of the last century - reveal just how much women used to be caricatured as downtrodden housewives or hair-brained office girls. Now, a new book - You Mean A Woman Can Open It?: The Woman's Place In The Classic Age Of Advertising - brings together images which would surely cause a howl of protest if they were released today.

POPSGiuliani Does Vegas, Talks Up Televangelist Support This article is almost humorous, if it wasn't so serious. The juxtaposition of "Godfather" Giuliani stumping in Las Vegas, with key "business leaders" (why does this seem like Mafia to me?) crows about his endorsement from a televangelist, Pat Robertson. Just another example of how Rudy USES religion as a cloak! Indeed, Robertson and him do share values: i.e. lying, corruption, love of money, untrustworthiness, and love of power at any price. Hopefully this will discredit Robertson, the false-prophet, too. So Rudy bought himself an evangelical priest (watch third party donations from New York come into the 700 club) to cover his many sins--serial adultery included. He calls all this "not being perfect" and the "complexity of human nature". The article also mentions that he admits that talk of Islamo-fascism might be an "exaggeration"; well almost admits it. And then he talks about government spending being worst problem (from an "exaggerated" need for war). He rates a 0 o

POPS Campus Assault On Freedom Of Speech Well, I wanted to alert you to this event this week because as you know, militant Muslims, are famous for killing Christians. And while the purpose of this week is to get students to hear the truth, I think it's important for you to know what's happening.

POPSGeorge Carlin on God In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.

POPSExcessive gaming can be deadly How does someone spend 3 straight days at an internet cafe and get himself into a condition where he dies from it? Baffling. And yes, I'm a gamer, I've been known to have occasional weekend marathons, but even I get up eat, drink, stretch, nap ... The thought of spending three 24 hour periods glued to one place is scary. The thought of even 24 minutes is scary.
