POPSNewsweek and Obama NEWSWEEK. Mr. President, look down the road a bit for me, if you don’t mind. Where are you in a year? PRESIDENT OBAMA. Well, that’s an excellent question. And I think about that a lot — where I’ll be, what I’ll be doing well, what I’ll be loved for — and it seems to me that a year from now I’ll be on the cover of Newsweek, maybe in front of a picture of the new GM car I designed, maybe talking to some of the people in line for surgery at the hospital, maybe helping a newly released prisoner from Guantanamo open up his first UPS Store in Visalia, California. Really, the sky’s the limit. NEWSWEEK. That’s a wonderful answer.

POPS*Mark Sanford's Soul Mate *R-Rated But he continued moving towards her, his sleekly massive member flexing and coiling like the snake that ate Jon Voight in Anaconda. Slowly, he began to move his mouth, yet no words were made, nor were they necessary. She was hotter and wetter than an illegal crossing the Rio Grande. Full article at link

POPS Virgin-Americans Fight Against Blood Sacrifice Amendment (C&T) "For example, were I not focusing on this crucial legislation, I would totally be porking some sexy, sexy ladies. No, really, I'm serious. I would be. Stop laughing", Waxman said. Bill co-sponsor Edward Markey (D-MA) said that even if enacted into law, the bill allows a 9 month grace period for current virgins to change their sacrifice eligibility status. "Easy for him to say," complained Kevin Warren, a 34-year old Green Bay Packer fanatic from Fon du Lac, Wisconsin. "You try getting laid with a foam rubber cheese hat, green face paint and Favre jersey." Whether Warren and other Virgin-Americans have the clout to scuttle the bill remains to be seen. It is scheduled for Senate deliberations as soon as the House Sergeant-at-Arms can locate a crane powerful enough to move the entire document to the Senate chamber. If passed there, it is expected to be quickly signed into law by President Obama.

POPS Ha! dialogue which has been taking place in your great and noble Islamic Republic of Iran over recent days. It has been both educational and fascinating, and as a sports fan I have thrilled to the pageantry, the suspense, and the fast-paced, hard-hitting action. Obama, despite the careful diplomatic language, reveals himself as never before in this key epistle, and you’ll want to read that whole thing, too. I’d just like to say I am deeply honored that a post from this site, Jules Crittenden’s Forward Movement, is linked in this important message. I’d add that President Barack Obama, in choosing Iowahawk as his vehicle to speak to the people of Iran, clearly recognizes how wildly popular Mr. Dave Burge’s site is among freedom-loving peoples of the world and how critical it has been to advancing global peace and understanding, especially during the Bush years when America was viewed negatively in the world by morons. http://www.julescrittenden.com/

POPS Obugger's Wealth Share...um...Health Care Ten Reasons Why Medicare for All Will Be AWESOME! 1. It’s patriotic to pay taxes. If you have to pay taxes anyway, you might as well fund a good cause, excessive taxation being the greatest form of charity (for those who didn’t earn the money in the first place). Medicare for All is as good a cause as any other, except for maybe freedom. Besides, it’s not every day you get to put best in class American ingenuity into the hands of bureaucrats and completely destroy it, all while finding your government sponsored sunny breezy day. This satire has been cross-posted at Smart Girl Nation and The American TEA Party. http://smartgirlpolitics.ning.com/forum/topics/health-care-ration-book http://teapartyamerica.blogspot.com/2009/06/ten-reasons-why-medicare-for-all-will.html

POPSZ news - What the SABC didn't want you to see Mail & Gaurdian puts up SABC unedited special assignment clip on internet but then gets sued. http://www.zapiro.com/scripts/Zapiro/hfclient.isa?A=Zapiro_Live&L=0O1242483095&AS=FIND|MP|99.00.01&F=2 Z-News seeks new online platform The producers of Z News, a news satire co-developed by award winning South African cartoonist Zapiro, is seeking alternative distribution channels after the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) pulled the plug on the show before the pilot even aired. The SABC reportedly spent close to R1 million on development before the show got canned. The producers are currently in discussions with numerous major online publishers to offer them a daily feed of the show, with revenue being generated through a mix of syndication fees, sponsorship/ advertising and mobile downloads. "It�s a new model for South Africa, but potentially a great way to bypass TV and provide uniquely local, healthy and much needed satire."

POPSWhen Rape Fantasies Involve Conservative Women, Feminists Are Silent
Playboy made the miscalculation of assuming that conservative men are misogynistic pigs and, yes, sent the press release to them. They thought they would have a friendly audience that would link back. Did liberal men bloggers get the list? Probably not, but Playboy would have found more sympathy with them. As conservative women know, the most vicious attacks come from leftist male bloggers. Spending some time in the comment section of an opinionated conservative woman blogger will curl toes. It’s not for the faint of heart. Conservative women bloggers are used to being sexualized, objectified, and called names. Conservative women generally know that any voiced public opinion or any public involvement will mean attempted personal destruction. Which is the point of the Playboy list — get conservative women to shut up. Specifically, get beautiful, smart, young conservative women to shut up. Get them to leave the public sphere. Can you say Sarah Palin?

POPSTerrorist attack on Golden Gate green-screened? "until we are certain, I advise all Americans to stay alert. If digital imagery was not behind 5/16, there is still a 2,000-foot moth out there capable of creating a mushroom cloud that looks exactly like the one at Hiroshima."

POPSParody Of Obama's White House Correspondents' Dinner Speech But hey, who am I to talk about family problems? I'd read you the list of all my half-brothers, but it's longer than the stimulus bill. You guys heard about my half-brother Samson, right? Yeah, when he was heading over here for my inauguration, he ran into a... well, a bit of a problem in England. Got kicked out. Turns out they'd already met their weekly quota on child molesters. Oops! And don't even get me started on my Auntie Zeituni. I'm the first president to deal with so much hassle from an alien since Independence Day. Speaking of the news, interesting item today: A Saudi judge has said it's okay to slap your wife if she spends too much. And you still wanna know why I bow to them? Boy oh boy, I'm in for it now. Should I look? I'm gonna look. Oof. Yeah, I know. I know. You gotta believe I love you, baby, but next time could you maybe wear the four-hundred-dollar shoes to the homeless shelter?

POPSWhy Do Conservatives Like Stephen Colbert?
Confirmation bias is likely to be especially pronounced in satire because one of the things about satire — especially the deadpan, bald-eagle satire of Colbert — is that it is chock-full of ambiguity and uncertainty. This leaves lots of opportunities for a viewer to fill in the blanks — a kind of choose-your-own-truthiness, if you will. "The nature of satire, when you boil it down, is that messages are to varying degrees implied messages," explained Lance Holbert, a professor of communications at The Ohio State University who studies the intersection of entertainment and politics. "It requires the audience to fill in the gap, to get the joke. And it requires a certain bit of knowledge to fill in the gap. ... Certain types of humor are much more explicit. In satire the humor is very complex." LaMarre got interested in the question of how audiences interpret Colbert back in 2007, when she started puzzling over how several appearances by Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckab
