POPSHouse passes health care bill FTA: The legislation would require most Americans to carry insurance and provide federal subsidies to those who otherwise could not afford it. Large companies would have to offer coverage to their employees. Both consumers and companies would be slapped with penalties if they defied the government's mandates. Insurance industry practices such as denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions would be banned, and insurers would no longer be able to charge higher premiums on the basis of gender or medical history. In a further slap, the industry would lose its exemption from federal antitrust restrictions on price gouging, bid rigging and market allocation.

POPSLetter to Nancy Pelosi, from Dennis Guthrie, Attorney
...I find it interesting that you and your husband are multi-millionaires with much of your fortune being made as a result of your “public service”. You have controlled legislation that has enhanced your husband’s investments both on and off shore. At the same time you redistributed the wealth of others. Our system of a free market economy is being destroyed by the likes of you, Harry Reid, and now our President. You ride around in a Gulfstream airplane at the tax payer’s expense while criticizing the presidents of companies who produced something for the economy. You add nothing to the economy of the United States; you only subtract therefrom. I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husband’s canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have. I await your defeat in the next election with glee.

POPS Nearly all my professors are Democrats. Isn't that a problem? "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought"......John F. Kennedy "I would rather die on the hill of Integrity, than live in the valley of Compromise".....anonymous "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery".......Winston Churchill

POPSTime To Move On I’ll give a shout out here to one of our favorites, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, but I’m not giving him any more mention than this one sentence. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, the House of Representatives apology for slavery was passed 2008, and the Senate apology for slavery was passed last week. Isn’t it about time to move on?

POPSUS government seeks to rein in executive pay "Sperling said in prepared testimony that the administration believes compensation practices "must be better aligned with long-term value and prudent risk management at all firms, and not just for the financial services industry."" You mean the type of "prudent risk management" that quadrupled the national debt in six months? I mean, really?

POPSTop 20 Recipients of AIG Contributions in 2008 "Democrats in the top 20 received a total of $374,222.00 Republicans received $126,349.00 So while there might be bi-partisan blame to go around, the Democrats received three times as much as the Republicans. It might be time to contact these folks and ask them when we can expect the checks to be mailed."

POPSVegas - Disneyland $12B High-Speed Rail To Have Futuristic Magnetic Levitation Trains that zoom on an air cushions created by powerful magnets instead of wheels is more absurd than Obama’s $11 billion personal fleet of 28 helicopters.

POPSWhere Are They Now: The Clinton Impeachment
Elected twice without ever achieving the majority of the popular vote, President Clinton become the only elected president in the history of the U.S. to be impeached, disbarred from practicing law, and accused of rape by a credible witness. As a chief beneficiary of President Reagan's world vision and the high technology boom of the 1990s, President Clinton enjoyed many of the benefits of residing over relative peace and prosperity. Beneath this thin veneer of economic prosperity, however, existed the most corrupt and scandalous administration in history. Consensual sex may be a private matter, but when a sexual relationship influences a public court case involving the President of the United States, the consensual sex becomes publicly relevant. The Clinton administration holds the all-time record for having the greatest number of associates who have: resigned under fire, pleaded the Fifth, fled the country, gone to jail, or died under mysterious circumstances.
