POPSOSHO: Absolutely Free to Be Funny I Love to Disturb People. In a series of excerpts from an interview with Jeff McMullen of Australia’s “60 Minutes” Osho offers a series of one-liners about Gandhi, Hitler, the Pope and Mother Teresa – and goes on from there to talk about his reputation for being controversial, contradictory, and, in the words of the interviewer, “one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

POPS"I'm Barack Obama, and I Approve This Bailout" Both left and right on Main St. oppose the bailout bill, and for good reason. Take a look here at how mad many on the left are. Here is his punch line to the get-a-long Democrats in Congress--call it a hard left hook: To the former, the Democratic Party, I say: your support of this Bill as it stands or in any form that simply hands over money and asks the market to take care of the mess makes you our enemies, not our advocates. ...then he lands one squarely on Obama's jaw: To Barack Obama I say: you are a fraud on public credulity. You are no more a "change" agent than I am the Pope. With your support of this bailout, you have acted in direct contradiction to your promise of change Last chance to call your house rep before they RUIN both the market and the economy with those latest Bailout bill.

POPSIfill Under Scrutiny I found it interesting that World News Daily is mentioned as the source that broke this "story". Anyone not familiar with this particular web site will not be surprised that they have concerns about Ifill. The clip mentions that WND is a "right-leaning" Web site. That's like calling the Pope slightly religious. Admittedly, my only exposure to this site has been through articles by DeSousa (far right religious nut), I'd take anything they wrote with a pound of salt.

POPSSocial injustice breeds extremists
You can't truly say he's about love. It is wrong for him to want a nation for 7.2 million to be destroyed. That would only cause another refugee crisis if not countless deaths as we are seeing in Iraq. One cannot speak of love and totally demonize a nation of people. The reason his extremist point of view is accepted instead of opposed though is because he keeps pointing out injustices in order to justify his extremism. If we were to solve the Israeli-Palestinian issue and others once and for all, extremists like him would not have as much support. People of all sides who want peace need to unite and push for social justice so injustice does not breed extremists. From this clip you know there is people on both sides and in the US who want peace once and for all: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/9537C8CD-538E-4BF3-AA9B-D28EAACF6463/ I'm an American and I do not want my own country to collapse. We need to concentrate our efforts in making our country better for our own citizens ins

POPSIran's leader says 'American empire' near collapse Watched his speech and I have to say the man speaks more of love, God, and peace then either the Israeli leader, bush or the pope -- and again just like other leaders that America says are bad he speaks more truth than lies.. I believe the reason our Govt. hates him and Chavez is because they can't control neither both are self sustaining with oil reserves. And he's smarter than bush to boot! And if things keep going the way they are he's right! The greed of a few has bought us to our knees. I can't believe that Obama had to bring up the idea that the American tax payer should reap a portion of any gains from the near trillion lend.. Shouldn't that have been in the proposal from the start -- which tells me they just want to save themselves so they can start all over again!!

POPSWhat it takes to be a Catholic man... Pope St. Gregory the Great : "What can we men , fully-grown, but weak, who are overcome by anger, inflated by pride, disquieted by ambition, corrupted by pleasure, when we see young women sent to the sword to the Kingdom of Heaven? We may not be able to attain the kingdom through battle and persecution, but let us be ashamed, that we are unwilling to follow God even in times of peace. At present God is not saying to any of us, "Die for me" , but just put to death the unlawful desires within you! Would we give our bodies for the Lord in time of war, when we are not willing to subdue their desires in time of peace?"

POPSItaly misses opertunity to defend free speech. Italian officials had a great opportunity to defend the free speech of it's citizens. But instead they opted to appease the ego of the bigoted catholic leader. One thing people keep forgetting, freedom of speech doesn't protect you from hearing stuff you don't like. In fact when people spout stuff you find offensive, you know it's working.

POPSSarkozy snubbing his nose at secularism again. I have no problem with people (And leaders) holding a religious ideology. What I have a problem is when they openly display (While on 'official' duty) their support of their ideology. It's a private matter, and should remain as such. Pray as you want (Or don't at all), just do so in 'unofficial' matters.

POPSCatholic Patriarchy If your reaction to this clip is a blase "who cares" then the odds predict that you have a penis. It's remarkable that after centuries this outmoded way of thinking still holds sway. And what's even more remarkable is that women are sometimes responsible in not more forcefully opposing this outdated dogma.

POPSThe Extreme-Right Way To Make A Buck "Actually, it's a little darker than that. Corsi doesn't just belong to the right's conspiratorial wing, he belongs to its racist, white-supremacist fringe. Over the last couple of years, he's written disparagingly about Muslims, Catholics and Jews, not to mention gays and lesbians. Muslims are "ragheads," the pope is "senile" and tolerates "boy bumping," and Jews ... well, you can imagine. The fact of the matter is, though, that Corsi doesn't so much aspire to participate as he does to profit. n former years, Americans' ideology was influenced by their participation in the economy. To put it crudely, businesspeople tended to find a home in the Republican Party, working men and women in the Democratic Party. Today, we have a new class, one to which Corsi and his ilk belong, whose business is their ideology."
