POPSUnemployement - why won't Obama act? This is a good piece about the wreckage that is resulting from high unemployment and how Obama and his team are not acting. Rest assured this isn't a Glen Beck, or Sarah Palin attack from the right, with only a lose foundation in reality. This is coming from a left-wing icon, Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post. Mr. Obama the time for action has come. Unemployment damages the economy through the loss of consumer spending, but it also hurts those that have jobs. Companies have the ability to force workers into part-time shifts and to pay them lower wages.

POPSIs Google making a mistake? Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire, by making more people aware of the photo - and thus driving traffic to the site that posted it. That increased traffic will mean the site will maintain a high ranking in Google's search results. I am sure Google could have thought of a better solution - like programing their search engine to produce a disclaimer on the page when the result comes up. That way only people who already had done the search would be made aware of it.

POPSA small fight on the right I have to say I agree with Allah Pundit in this matter. Though none of us were there to judge what happened. First of all, there is still an importance to operating under a rule of law - and the means not beating detainees. Second of all, he points out the involvement of Iraqi authorities made it much more of a political issue, and mandated action. What I don't understand, is why Allah is being attacked at all.

POPSWhere does she come up with this stuff Ok, I have been trying to take a fair stand on Sarah Palin. Many of the attacks on her haven't been fair. However, when she comes out and says that Obama isn't honoring the troops, when he just took time to attend a memorial and speak to their service, something should be said. I am not a "fan" of Obama either, but that statement just isn't fair.

POPSWhat do polls mean? I didn't put a lot of meaning in polls when it was Bush, and I still don't put a lot of meaning into polls. People will throw this data around like it is some kind of concrete fact, but it isn't. Or it is a fact, but I think it speaks very little to reality.

POPSThe hate around Sarah There has been too much hateful language used against Sarah Palin, attacking her and her family personally, not not taking on her ideas. It is time this should stop, it is dishonest and weak to attack someone for being a womyn - it is always weak and dishonest.

POPSThe hate around Sarah This isn't the first article to discuss the hatred and racism that seemed to surround Sarah Palin during the campaign. I don't know if this reflects Palin's ideas or not, and to be honest it isn't clear how much she is aware of it - at least while it is happening. However, while this article like others before overstates the connection between Palin and this hate, it does make a point. If she was never aware of it, she is surrounded by enabler that shouldn't be trusted and must be extremely ego-centric. However, if she did know about it, she had a moral responsibility to speak against it. It should be remembered that John McCain spoke against the hate when he became aware of it.

POPSWhat do the e-mails really say? Not having seen the e-mails, my guess is what has been discovered is the natural balance of conversation between researchers. If that is the case, it doesn't represent a cover-up, but an honest search for truth.

POPSWhat kind of trial will it be? I think it comes down to this, the outcome of the trial is known to the whole world. Do you think there is a chance in hell that Obama would allow them to beat the charges. It could be said, a trial like this will show the world who we really are, and that our system is just. However those who hate us, won't trust the trial - civilian or otherwise. Those who do trust us, do so because of our record. We don't need to prove something to them.

POPSI can see Russia from my house Palin never said she could see Russia from her house, that was Tina Fey. Now if you can really see Russia from Alaska seems doubtful to me. I remember someone tested the theory, but I don't remember the results.

POPSWhy Palin can run for president I would add, that it is possible she could get the nomination because people so often assume that she can't. She can win, because people won't take her serious until it is too late.

POPSThey should have thought it through With all due respect to the people who are fighting for what they believe, they really should have put more time into thinking about their protest. Their ideas are solid, their concerns are valid, but the concept always seemed weak to me. This is just another point of embarrassment. Of course, true believes won't be stopping.

POPSDowd backs Palin, but I don't. This is a bit of surprise to me. I think of all of Palin's complaints about the campaign and the media - her interview with Katie Couric is her weakest. Did Couric push the questions, were they tough... yes and yes. But I don't think that Couric had a mission to harm Palin.

POPSDo it right next time What good is "transparency" if the information you are revealing isn't accurate. I don't care if it is a mistake or not, it needs to be fixed - and done right next time.

POPSIs there anyone clean in this? Ohhh, so she was sleeping with both of them, and shared that secret with Halderman. How does it come to be that they were sleeping with the same womyn, could it have been a setup? It is all just dirty.
