POPSProposed law to ban spanking Hooray for more government control. We can't be trusted to make any decisions anymore. I welcome the big inclusive handbook for Government Sanctioned Childrearing. Do you think NY and CA will get together and propose criminalizing feeding transfats to a child? Wouldn't it be safer and smarter to just take our kids away at birth and put them in a Government Controlled Childcare Facility? Why take a risk that parents might screw something up?

POPSEnglish Speaker Kicked Off Bus The driver, apparently alarmed by her "aggressive" Muslim passenger, called the cops, cleared the bus, and warned the bus behind her not to pick up any of her stranded passengers. Although he is investigating the incident, Michel Labrecque, the head of the Société de transport de Montréal, defended the driver's action because "French is the language of work" in Québec. Labrecque acknowledged that many bus drivers are bilingual, and that bilingual drivers tend to be placed on routes covering tourist areas and the English-speaking suburbs. But he also insisted that it would be against the law to require any of the drivers to actually speak English even if they can, "Ça, c'est interdite."

POPSPelosi: Bush Criminals Should Face Prosecution Happily, this immunity idea is becoming less and less popular as time goes on. Finding out what happened, why it happened, and who caused it to happen -- then doing nothing -- is striking a lot of people as a waste of time. "Senator Leahy has a proposal, Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which is a good idea," Pelosi told Rachel Maddow on MSNBC Wednesday. "What I have some concern about there is it has immunity. And I think that some of the issues involved here, like the politicizing of the Justice Department and the rest, may have criminal ramifications, and I don't think we should be giving them immunity." "I don't think we should have immunity for some of those issues," Pelosi said. "No one is above the law, the president has said that." Amen, Nancy. Immunity=impunity.

POPSObama's "Carefully Nuanced Refinements" Obama could have picked Hillary Clinton, who received 18,000,000 votes. (He would have done so, by the way, without sacrificing his desire to have a Vice President with strong national security and foreign policy credentials on the ticket.) That works out to 2,000 votes for Clinton for every one vote Senator Biden got.

POPSEmail President Bush To Grant Executive Pardon To Border Agents for drug smuggling. The Washington Times quotes T. J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, as being critical with the timing of the indictment against Aldrete Davila. "Osvaldo Aldrete Davila should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for these felonies two years ago," said Mr. Bonner, whose group represents more than 12,000 Border Patrol agents. "This deliberate and unconscionable delay directly resulted in the wrongful incarceration of two innocent law-enforcement officers." According to Drug Enforcement Administration documents obtained by The Times, DEA investigators believed they had sufficient evidence to indict Aldrete Davila in late 2005, but their requests to do so were denied by Mr. Sutton's office.

POPSNo Wonder John McCain Wants to Give Himself a Huge Tax Cut No wonder McCain wants to give himself and wife a huge tax cut. They need the money to pay their past due taxes on their beach condo in CA. For four years they didn't pay their taxes. And we are supposed to trust this guy with nation's economy? If he didn't have the means that would be one thing. But owning seven homes and his wife is rich--come on! This guy is a phony.

POPSForeclosure Rescue Fraud - Mortgage and Real Estate Fraud ... Denver mortgage broker indicted (now wanted) in foreclosure rescue fraud allegations CA Attorney General announces further crackdown on foreclosure consultants Ohio AG files lawsuits against three foreclosure rescue companies FTC Stops Foreclosure Prevention Marketers According to the FTC’s complaint, the defendants sold “loss mitigation” services to homeowners at risk of foreclosure, falsely claiming they could prevent foreclosure in 97 percent of cases and misrepresenting that they would make a full refund if they failed. Before performing any loss mitigation services, the defendants required homeowners to pay the equivalent of one month’s mortgage payment. Their contracts instructed homeowners not to contact lenders or their contract and its money-back guarantee would be voided. In some cases the defendants’ consultants told homeowners to stop making their mortgage payments while the defendants were working on their cases.

POPSAmerica's Dumbest Congressmen My favorites: Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) making up an excuse to do a debate with his opponent over a satelite linkup, allowing him to read from a teleprompter Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) telling law enforcement officials to be wary of Arabs who "drive taxicabs by day and kill at night". Representative J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) approving of the nativist writings of notorious anti-Semite Henry Ford Representative Donald Young (R-AK) telling high school students that the NEA funds art depicting "buttfucking" Representative Katherine Harris (R-FL) telling voters that a Middle Eastern terorrist was arrested trying to blow up the power grid of Carmel, IN (which came as a surprise to Carmel's mayor and to Indiana's governor). Also: Harris telling her staffters that a speech they had submitted to her was "terrible"--even though it was written by herself two months earlier!

POPSthe dick cheney magical mystery tour "the topic is always the same-torture was done during the Bush-Cheney Administration, and it was effective.Persons held at Guantanamo Bay are evil and should never be released. President Obama's actions are a threat to national security. Cheney claims that because of the actions he and George W. Bush took after 9/11. there were no more attacks upon the United States" i would like to insert here- no more attacks by forces other than the two of them.......to my mind-but that is just my opinion- there is more at source- i hope Cheney keeps trying to justify his actions- as everyday more and more comes out showing that policies the U.S. under took - have been nothing short of criminal during the Bush-Cheney years- keep on tossing it out there- some of this ca-ca has got to stick!

POPSNew Berkeley Law Study Finds Enforcement of Immigration Laws Led to Racial Profiling The new report, “The CAP Effect: Racial Profiling in the ICE Criminal Alien Program,” was released today by the Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Race, Ethnicity and Diversity (Warren Institute) at UC Berkeley School of Law (Berkeley Law). “It was clearly a fishing expedition. Police cast a wide net to arrest anyone who looked Hispanic for any minor violation,” said report co-author Aarti Kohli, immigration policy expert at Berkeley Law’s Warren Institute. “The Hispanic community suspected racial profiling as the root cause of the increase in arrests. Our report backs that up.”

POPSGOP Fights For Expedited Delivery Of Ballots To Military In 2000 military ballots were targeted for challenge in the famous Florida recount , and only 48% of the overseas members of the military who requested absentee ballots for the 2006 election had their ballots counted, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Conservatives believe that members of Congress should fight as hard for the right of our military to vote as our military has fought to allow Iraq to have a constitutional democracy. Sens. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas), along with Reps. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) are engaging in legislative combat for the rights of our military to vote in the 2008 election.

POPSThe ACORN Report: A Full Analysis: Darrell Issa (Ca-R) July 23, 2009 The criminality only began there. The committee referenced an email that I have also published in pointing out that eight individuals were made aware of the embezzlement, Steve Kest, Jon Kest, Madeline Talbott, Keith Kelleher, Mike Shea, Zach Polett, Helene O’Brien, Amy Schur, Liz Wolff, and Beth Butler. All swore to keep it quiet and had things worked out no one would have known about the embezzlement. All are the top eight people currently in ACORN. (make no mistake Bertha Lewis, the current CEO, is a figurehead and mouthpiece) By keeping the embezzlement quiet, ACORN then violated other tax laws. ACORN is a tax exempt organization. As such, ACORN is mandated by law to report violations like embezzlement. By keeping it quiet, they violated laws that governed their tax code. http://theeprovocateur.blogspot.com/2009/07/issa-acorn-report-full-analysis.html

POPSSB 420 Limits Ruled Unconstitutional In a 3-0 decision, the court ruled: "The prosecutor's argument was improper. It was improper because the CUA can only be amended with voters' approval. Voters, however, did not approve the eight-ounce limit and other caps in section 11362.77; hence, section 11362.77 unconstitutionally amends the CUA." The decision is certified for partial publication, pending possible appeal to the Supreme Court.
