POPSL.A. Times Cuts Out McCain’s Remarks About Economy Then Quotes Barack Obama Saying McCain is Scared to Talk About the Economy "Our current economic crisis is a good case in point. What was his actual record in the years before the great economic crisis of our lifetimes?" At which point McCain launched into the amazing speech quoted by Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, during which he laid out the case, at great length, for the Democrats’ responsibility for the mortgage crisis. Does the L.A. Times report one word of that? No. Instead, they cut the quote of McCain’s speech short there, right before he talks about the economy, and proceed to quote Obama as claiming that McCain is scared to talk about the economy: Speaking with reporters in Asheville, N.C., where he is studying for Tuesday’s debate, which is to focus on the economy and domestic issues, Obama pointed to recent reports that the McCain camp wanted to get away from economic issues, a topic that polls show benefits the Democrats.

POPSthings to remember on Dysfunctional Families Day There are a plenitude of days for celebrating your parents and getting together with your family. There aren’t a lot of days when you can admit that your parents actually drove you completely bats, or that you’d rather learn autotrepanning with a Black and Decker than sit down with the people who made your first 18 years a misery. And some people need that, because that’s the truth, and pretending otherwise is poison to the soul. Today is the autumnal equinox. Things are in balance, but shifting toward the darkness. What better day to use for this purpose? (For Southern Hemisphere readers, today is yet another day when your experience is overridden by the thoughtless majority, which is an equally valid reason.) Now, I’m not really qualified to discuss this matter, because, well, I kinda like my family…So let me yield the floor to those whose day this really is. What are you doing today, to either live with your past or transcend it?

POPSPalin's Selective History Also missing, Afghanistan . Pretending you belong to some other party or that George W. Bush doesn't belong to yours is one thing, but overlooking a whole goddam big ol' flaming war? That's pretty inexcusable.

POPSRon Suskind vs. Bush Admin on Iraq-9/11 Fakery
Suskind's book has provided documentation of evidence and inside witnesses within the CIA and British Intelligence sources that a fake letter was ordered "from the White House" pretending to be from Saddam's Intelligence Chief to Saddam (whom the U.S. relocated and paid $5 million to) which was laden with lies and a claim of ties between Mohammad Atta (supposed 9/11 ringleader), Al Qaeda, and Iraq--back-dated prior to 9/11--which provided deliberately false claims to connect Iraq to 9/11. The White House has denied (see previous clipmark) but award-winning journalist Suskind summarizes his sources and defends his allegations on Democracy Now (see first podcast "listen" link). The second podcast, Aug. 14, includes House Judiciary Chair John Conyers who has already started an investigation under way which will lead to some kind of action. Conyer's stated the the Senate Intelligence Committee, headed by Jay Rockefeller, has the power to review classified documents to verify this.

POPSMajor DNC Donor To Party Treasurer: Obama Is A Bad Investment
Getting not one bill passed in the first 6 years of his career in not inspiring. Having Emil Jones hand him the ball 26 times on the one-yard line in order to make Obama a United States Senator does not cut it either. What deals he made, he did to benefit no one but himself. He never worked long enough in either Senate to help the people who elected him. Andy, I could never imagine you taking credit for legislation someone else slaved over. Starting in his community organizing days he claimed sole responsibility for other people's accomplishments all for the purpose to boosting his career. Every person I have talked to who worked at the Law Review at Harvard with him, or in the later part of his career, said the same thing: he was arrogant and self-centered. Substance matters. Barack is a politician, an inexperienced one at that, pretending he is different. I just see him as arrogant and power hungry. Our country deserves better.

POPSEx Reads Kids' E-Mails From Us My stepdaughter told me yesterday that her mother definitely reads her emails. I knew that already because our emails were being read at times when my stepdaughter was in school and the responses were not my stepdaughter's, but I didn't tell my stepdaughter that. I knew her mother was responding and pretending it was my husband's daughter responding. Pathetic of a mother to do this!

POPSAre Facts Obsolete? Thomas Sowell now that he has gotten their votes in the Democratic primaries and needs the votes of others in the coming general election. The question of how to raise more revenue may be the economic issue but the political issue is whether socking it to “the rich” in the name of “fairness” gains more votes. What matters politically is the image of coming out on the side of “the people” against “the privileged.” When ABC's Charles Gibson reminded him of the well-documented fact that lower tax rates on capital gains had produced more actual revenue collected from that tax than the higher tax rates had, Obama was unmoved.

POPSArmy Slams Iraq Occupation Plan Of course, Franks wasn't the only one who insisted the "major fighting was over." The President himself gave a big speech from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, where he said almost those same words exactly ; "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended." Tommy Franks wasn't the only one with a terribly simplistic view of the occupation of Iraq. Of course, he'll take the flack for it. Everyone's busy pretending GWB doesn't exist now.

POPSHELLO FELLOW LUNATICS AND FASCISTS! You won't believe the audacity of one Bill O'Reilly. He in all his delusional big headed bubbleness is calling anyone who leans left (you know those who think and care about others and our planet) Lunatics and Fascists... (FASCISTS, HUH? A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism...)talk about the POT calling the kettle black)! I can't stand this big ASS-A-HOLA, who can? But what baffles me to no end are his viewers. The man is a hateful bigot and he doesn't even try to hide this fact. I guess we really are a racist, sexist, xenophobic society (well those who watch Bill O'Reilly and believe him, anyway)... It's so pathetic! Please watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENBwJqzdajc

POPSAppropriate Consequences I am not a Hillary supporter, but I also don't support racially divisive comments and swearing from the pulpit. Not a big fan of any political speech from the pulpit, for that matter.
