POPSSNL: Obama Accomplishes "Diddly-Squat" FRED ARMISEN AS BARACK OBAMA: There are those on the right who are angry. They think that I'm turning this great country into something that resembles the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, but that's just not the case. But when you look at my record it's very clear what I've done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it. As a checklist of his agenda items during the campaign appeared on the screen -- global warming, immigration reform, gays in the military, limits on executive powers, torture prosecutions, closing Gitmo, withdrawing from Iraq, improving the status of the fight in Afghanistan, healthcare reform, etc. -- Armisen accurately commented on how they weren't accomplished: So Far I've Accomplished Nothing! Nada! http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/10/04/snl-skewers-obama-so-far-ive-done-nothing-president

POPS"Hello Dalai" He has a sense of humor all right, but he is known worldwide for his serious devotion to peace, equality, and civil rights, and admitted an admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Dr. King, although I never met, but I heard his sort of motivation, his determination, his service for civil rights.” As they stopped by the statue of Tom Lee to pay respects, Lowery told the Dalai Lama how Tom Lee saved 32 lives by pulling them from the river. His Holiness left a mark on the two men welcoming him to town. Mayor Wharton said, “This visit lets the world know that Dr. King ’s beliefs still live on are still viable and I think it’s just so fitting that his holiness has seen fit to visit our great city.”

POPSDoes Michelle Obama Have a Drinking Problem? Is alcohol rehab part of healthcare plan? But he also feels guilty because of the pictures taken of him drinking beer at an NBA game recently.” The President also feels he may have contributed to his wife’s alcohol issues by not stopping her from overindulging during their date night in New York City on May 30. Michelle, 45, knocked back “a glass or two of champagne” while the couple flew to the Big Apple on a private jet, according to the close source, and published reports said she downed two martinis during dinner at the Greenwich Village restaurant Blue Hill. “It was clear that Mrs. Obama was having a VERY good time,” a restaurant employee told The ENQUIRER. “There’s a real fear that she may be drinking more than she should as a result of the pressures that come along with being First Lady,” an insider divulged. It looks like “Last call” are the First Lady’s least favorite words. Source: NationalEnquirer.com

POPSWho Says Iranian Regime Media Has No Sense of Humor? Incidentally, I wonder what the Advertising Standards Authority would make of the claims in the PressTV advert. Laughably, the advert claims the channel “gives as voice to the voiceless” and offers “24/7 truth”. The truly voiceless like Mansour Osanloo don’t get a spot on PressTV, but loudmouth shills and propagandists do. via michaeltotten.com Ahmadinejad to 'improve world' Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calls for constructive engagement with the world, vowing continued 'servitude' to the people, 'justice and progress'. "Without engaging the world, it is impossible to develop the country and the correct development will inevitably influence others, as without improving the world, it will be impossible to establish the good life*," the president told a group of students today, reports IRNA.

POPS Sylvester Still Harassing Tweety Bird Twitter — the messaging service with which users send each other “tweets” — was hit by a series of worm attacks over the weekend and early today. According to a story in Computerworld, “Twitter again emphasized that while the worm attacks have been a nuisance, they haven’t stolen any user account information.” But sounds like it was a long weekend worthy of Looney Tunes. (Apologies to Bob Clampett and Warner Brothers) UPDATE: According to the BBC, “Twitter has been given the all clear after a worm infected ‘tens of thousands of users’. But experts say the attack could have been much worse.”

POPSNY Governor David Paterson: SNL's Faux Pas Outlaw trans fats? C'mon, Mike. That's small potatoes. How about a tax on sugar itself? A can of Coke could soon cost New Yorkers more than just calories. Gov. Paterson, as part of a $121 billion budget to be unveiled Tuesday, will propose an "obesity tax" of about 15% on nondiet drinks. Let's just skip the next few chapters and move straight to the government-approved, gluten-free, non-dairy nutrient paste. (HT: JWF and Hot Air)

POPSObama's Birth Certificate, The New Yorker Style The left has taught us that. Al Franken has taught us that. It's "SATIRE!" A good series, and it would be making a good point, is to do the most vile stuff you can think of and just put New Yorker above it. Then the explanation will be, "sophisticated people know where we are going with this."
