POPSAndrewSullivan PotCaseDismissed - SpecialTreatment Sullivan, Rangel, (likely,most of Congress) Presidential criminal cronies after talking transparency. All bullcrap and the hypocrisy continues. And serving out true justice fades further & further. I didn't even mention the Treasury, Fed, G.S., and the rest of the banks.

POPSMoodys Warns U.S. Aaa Rating In Danger if it doesn't reduce the debt - either with taxes or cutting expenditures. Notice they gave the administration "3-4 years" so as to allow for an Obama re-election before raising taxes. Then it's all hell breakin' loose for taxes. Either that or let the rating fall and apologize for the fact that we ever had a Triple-A in the first place and appeal to our "empathy for those nations that never had top rating. This would also fit into the progressive p.r. agenda.

POPSConstitution? Treaties? Sovereignty? The lamenting over the obstacle that is the Constitution goes on with Liberals and World-Order phony Conservatives (read: today's Republicans) alike. Puppet cable news pundits want to imprint an image of Independents as moderates - in the "middle" of either "fringe". It depends, doesn't it? Higher elites of both persuasions strive to find a way to topple the Constitution, maybe to slightly varying goals, while the Independents really want to maintain sovereignty and the Constitution. Doesn't that put Ind.'s on the Right, with Rep.'s & Dem.'s on the Left? Criticisms against Obama policies are met by Bush criticisms. Enough. That's the wrong paradigm. Isn't it ? Aren't they both the puppets for those of NO county? Of NO allegiance but to a World Gov.? Or am I all wet, here?

POPSLetter To TheWhiteHouse ~ re:TV MediaNews You've been trying to suppress the free marketplace of ideas since your primary campaign and you are still doing it. You guys are sooooo obvious. Why be afraid to go on FOX and, if they are wrong about you, set them straight? It seems like if you had real faith in your agenda, and if conservatives' notions of what you're up to are way off base, you'd be confident to go look people in the eye and calmly tell them where they are wrong about you, why they are wrong about your extremist associates and appointments, and clear up the issues. You could explain that your advisors aren't students of Mao, Marx, Alinsky and that you understand America is not where we forcibly "redistribute the wealth" for it's own sake.

POPSThe Golden State - Nice Duets, Great Song John Doe & Kathleen Edwards have a studio version that's a bit more rockin' than this acoustic one, and in which Kathleen's voice is really special. But this is good, too. Eddie Vedder & partner do a good job with it as well.

POPSOPHARMA - Politics Over The Greater Good That these people are still credited with the "best of intentions" proves that people either are not trying to REALLY pay attention, or their overall hope for human nature is very low - that this is really the most honest, open, well-intentioned that we should expect. WE SHOULD EXPECT AND DEMAND BETTER! These are dishonest, pompous, self-serving people and there ARE good people if only we could find them. CRAP! And after all the "hope", "change", and the chin-out, noble profile b**ls**t! F*****g SELLOUTS!!!

POPSGov't. Largely Responsible For Hi Insrnce.Costs
This has several negative effects. One is that it decreases both competition and supply, both of which raise prices for consumers. This also means that states have the power to grant licenses to insurance companies, meaning that any new insurance company from its beginnings has to meet state-mandated standards. This is a huge barrier to entry, keeping newcomers out of what would otherwise be a highly competitive market and once again increasing prices for consumers. In a free market, profits are a signal telling more entrepreneurs to enter a market. More and more firms will enter the market until the profits have dropped low enough to discourage market entry. ............ Obama has said that under his current proposal, he would eliminate these state barriers.......... This completely ignores the fact that, under the necessary and proper clause, the government is only allowed to regulate those industries that it must to carry out its stated function.

POPSA Healthcare Plan - Idea 1 - The Lawyers Obama's fear of lawyers may be influential in his decision making. So he should know how it feels. Besides, is it really in line with the image of the man he tries to present himself as to be so limited in his duties? Does the picture of that bold, all-confident, past self-doubting, truth-proclaiming, definer and decider of validity on any issue, man of today really seem like the one who would let a rich, powerful, influential group of people direct his policy-making on an issue so important to the American people? Uhhh,.(pshh) ....Yeahh.

POPSMSNBC-Face This Music! TheObamasArrogant! Oprah pushed and shoved her way through events yesterday in a pumpkin orange dress, spending just a few minutes gracing IOC members with her presence, then whisking away to private events where she could be adored in a more intimate setting. While the MSM in America indulges these two, the rest of the world doesn’t buy into any of that.

POPSDistinguishing Science and Pseudoscience # Penetrating political systems, it justifies atrocities in the name of racial purity # Penetrating the educational system, it can drive out science and sensibility; # In the field of health, it dooms thousands to unnecessary death or suffering # Penetrating religion, it generates fanaticism, intolerance, and holy war # Penetrating the communications media, it can make it difficult for voters to obtain factual information on important public issues

POPSDylan Ratigan Comments on Healthcare Some good ideas here. Just wanted to make note on Dylan in general. Came from FastMoney on CNBC, now brings, FINALLY, an even-handed (truly) (No, really!) presence and intelligent outlook on nearly every topic, to MSNBC, of all places. Well that is absolutely where it's badly needed the most. He can still see straight. He's on mornings and the heavy handed propaganda hosts are put off till almost lunchtime. (Then you can change from MesSNBC so you don't lose that lunch.)

POPS"Stove-piping" Making a Comeback? STILL,...Bravo to our Police and FBI, even though a little intel-sharing and being a bit less territorial might have uprooted a lot more that may still be going on.
