POPSMcCain ad not racist, but Obama remark was I don't know if I would classify the Obama remark as racist or not. It was definitely playing the race card, but I don't know if that qualifies as racist. Racist would be more anti-white (or another race) like referring to a racist white person as "typical white person." Something else I find interesting. 22% is how many think the McCain ad was racist, and also how many thing most Americans are racist.

POPSTasercops Gone Wild I wonder if anyone is keeping count of these taserings of already incapacitated people. At least the cops receive severe punishment: time off with pay.

POPSMy Fair Veep But if you’re reading this, Charlie, we want to know everything, including: What kind of budget-cutter makes a show of getting rid of the state plane, then turns around and bills taxpayers for the travel of her husband and kids between Juneau and Wasilla and sticks the state with a per-diem tab to stay in her own home? When the phone rings at 3 a.m., will she call the Wasilla Assembly of God congregation and ask them to pray on a response, as she asked them to pray for a natural gas pipeline? As Troopergate unfolds here — an inquiry into whether Palin inappropriately fired the commissioner of public safety for refusing to fire her ex-brother-in-law — it raises this question: Who else is on her enemies list and what might she do with the F.B.I.? Why was Sarah for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against the Bridge to Nowhere, and why was she for earmarks before she was against them? And doesn’t all this make her just as big a flip-flopper as John Kerry?

POPSParis To "White-Haired Dude" --- "What Ever" Most astonishing of all, Big Media (the broadcast and cable networks, The Associated Press and major newspapers) continue their near-total blackout of reporting on a story that broke in the National Enquirer on July 22, well before we went on vacation -- where the tabloid's reporters and a photographer staked out a Los Angeles hotel where former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards allegedly visited his rumored mistress. You can read or hear all about it in the British press, online bloggers, Internet Web sites (including the Huffington Post and most exhaustively on Mickey Kaus' blog), the usual right-wing radio suspects. Even late night comics like Jay Leno are starting to joke about it. But don't expect a word of it to pass the lips of Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric.

POPSCNN - hard-hitting news I bet Britney Spears timed her divorce so it wouldn't be a major news story on an election day. Big mistake! CNN is always there, focused enough not to let trifles like an election get in the way of the really important stuff.

POPSDoes OJ Really Matter? Meantime, George W. Bush is tapping your phone calls without a court warrant, American soldiers are dying in Iraq (along with even more innocent Iraqi men, women, and babies), the polar ice caps are melting fast, 47 million Americans do not have health insurance, and Dick Cheney is itching for a war with Iran.
