POPSWOW, LOOK WHAT I FOUND ON YOUTUBE I have once stated that I love youtube... I was surfing the site to find a child singing and playing guitar for my grandson... to give him inspiration... He loves to sing. I came across this video and said HOLY %#@%... I have got to share this... IF THIS DOESN'T GIVE YOU INSPIRATION NUTTIN WILL!

POPSA JOKE THAT IS TOO TRUE TO BE FUNNY. Finally some clever person put Republicans in the middle of the light bulb screwing joke and IT HITS THE OLD PROVERBIAL NAIL ON IT'S OLD "IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT" BLOCKHEAD! The only screwing light bulb joke EVER without humor! Just to be fair... Here is one about Dems screwing a light bulb: How many Democrats does it take to change a light bulb? One to change the bulb, six to talk about how wonderful it's going to be when the new bulb is screwed in, and ten to argue for increased funding for solar lighting research.:eek:

POPSThe student asked why Bush wasn't IMPEACHED, for that he was TASERED I can hear the conservatives yelling all over the blogesphere, THE NUT DESERVED WHAT HE GOT... I wonder what they would be yelling if it had happened to one of them or someone they loved. I watched the tape of the young student more times than I could stand to watch and still I could not see a reason for such a harsh punishment. Some believe we are becoming a police state with all the tasering going on by those who are suppose to protect us. I say, we're not becoming a police state ... WE ARE A POLICE STATE. I hope the American Civil Liberties Union, will get involved in this case it is just so outrageous. No one will want to allow their son or daughter to attend anything political... A closing of the minds of the young who are attending college so their minds can be opened, will be the result. It was a chilling event!

POPSWhy Are So Many Voters So Easily Fooled?
Why Are So Many Voters So Easily Fooled? I've asked myself, that question many times... Of course with no answers. I'm not alone. There are people who posses a worldly depth of knowledge and still wind up scratching their heads in great bewilderment upon seeking an explanation on why people vote against their own personal BEST INTEREST! I've noticed of late, that the progressive TV pundits are now placing these voters in a group calling them, Low Informational Voters. How genteel! See more about this newly coined phrase, here: http://www.freezerbox.com/archive/article.php?id=557 I'm not nearly that refined so I can call a-spade a-spade... LOW INFORMATION VOTER, my foot... It's just the old fashioned, plain old, brown paper wrapping... STUPID, my man! The last paragraph of the freezerbox article above, says it all! (Old adages like "You can lead a horse to water" and "pearls before swine" will provide scant solace. There's only so much you can do when a large segment of the elec

POPSIs Dick Cheney mean or is he a Psychopath? Ed Schultz said "I think that Dick Cheney wants this country to get hit again for political gain,” I felt he had something there and made this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0FgOcXhab4 John McCain, on FACE THE NATION, http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4969629n stated this about Ed Schultz "And when extreme talk show hosts say that he (Cheney) wants another attack on the United States, I think that's shameful." SHAMEFUL, what does he think about what Cheney is doing...? Oh don't tell me, I know, McCain thinks Cheney is PATRIOTIC, what else. Ed Schultz believes Cheney is MEAN and that is why he is acting the way he is "acting" ... After reading the Delancey Place blog about Psychopaths, I thought.... Hmmmm, maybe it's not meanness that motivates Cheney, maybe he is just the run of the mill Psychopath... Waddauthink, does the shoe fit? Also view video here along with the Delancey Place blog on Psychopaths: http://www.thethinkingblue.com/pyschopath.html

POPSReligion promises, YOUR OWN PLANET? Lil' beyond social security. Bill Maher, does it again, on Larry King... Do I ever LUV THIS GUY. He speaks, with humor, how RELICULOUS (ridiculous) the over the top religious nuts are. I believe everyone should be allowed to believe anything they want as long as their beliefs don't get them HOODWINKED by the conniving nutcases in charge of any particular religion... who try to spread their GOD like HE/SHE is a butter knife full of LARD... I use "lard" but I mean another 4 letter word. Life is one BIG mystery and anyone who tells you they know exactly what is going on in HEAVEN or the interstellar space full of interstellar medium is also full of that other 4 letter word. Bill Maher's states:: "I DON'T KNOW AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE!" Right on, Bill! ~~~~~~ The interstellar medium is the name astronomers give to the gas and dust that pervade interstellar space. While the interstellar medium refers to the matter that exists between the stars within a galaxy... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_medium

POPSTHE WORKING POOR or THE MISSING CLASS So many people fall into this category... Not quite falling into the statistical poverty class because they may earn a few dollars above the invisible line drawn by economists. Everyday is a challenge for this type of family. Vacations are few, items of luxury don't exist, food is scarce and the roof over their head is always in jeopardy. Because they claw and break their backs to stay slightly above the invisible line... they themselves become invisible. There is an old saying that "The squeaky wheel gets the oil!" and since these people are too damn busy working their tuchus' off, they have no time to squeak until it's too late and they lose their employment or become ill or lose their working partner and then one morning they awaken and find themselves in a freefall under the invisible line quickly heading for the proverbial ROCK-BOTTOM. Like these next two paragraphs in this piece state:

POPSBUSH'S DEADLY PEN! With another stroke of Bush's deadly pen, he pardoned one of his own lawbreakers. Once again, Keith Olbermann speaks the words most of who live in the shadows of obscurity cannot. http://www.thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSVietNam War Language Of all the people who should have learned from history's past mistakes, George W Bush and his henchmen should have learned from Vietnam. The misery these warmongers have caused humanity is incomprehensible... I came across this quote... a quote of hope in these unbearable times. “Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.” -- Mahatma Gandhi

POPSFOX NEWS IS FAIR AND BALANCED... HUH? The Fox News or better yet Fox Noise (as Keith Olbermann calls it) is and always has been a joke to me. I use to watch it during the early lead up days to Bush's illegal war against Iraq. Until one day they attempted to demonize Saddam Hussein one step further than they already had with their constant pummeling of HE KILLED HIS OWN PEOPLE http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1779.htm SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD WMD'S POINTED AT AMERICA and of course, when no weapons were found they bludgeoned their viewers with IT WAS AMERICA'S JOB TO LIBERATE IRAQIS FROM A BRUTAL RULER. But that day when I tuned in (for the last time) and saw a pathetic little dog staggering against a wall and the voiceover said SADDAM HUSSEIN CONDUCTED POISON GAS TESTS ON DOGS... I spoke the word I use frequently when I'm in a state of extreme perplexity... HUH? Let's see now, who was this bit of propaganda directed at? Oh, I know it was for those who don't become alarmed at human beings becoming collateral damage

POPSIs the GOP out to lunch? The GOP is "out to lunch" as in porch light on-nobody's home. The GOP has not been mentally there, for some time now. Strange how it could hold so many minds captive with its utterly insane propaganda. What is wrong with people? The GOP should have been laughed off the world stage at the beginning of the Bush reign of nincompoopery. But no, people embraced the blunders, starting with the preemptive Invasion of Iraq and the GOP’s cooked intelligence to launch this phony war. Then, the Terri Schiavo debacle when the GOP joined the religious right to interfere in a local matter. Also, The Marriage amendment, the GOP stuck its nose where it doesn't belong. The GOP JUSTICE SUNDAY frenzy, The GOP hurricane KATRINA incompetence The GOP Bush strut on the deck of the USS Abe Lincoln declaring "Mission Accomplished."Insanity all the way. The GOP lives in fantasy but maybe, since people are growing up, the unhinged, hateful world of the GOP might be fading away. But don't hold your breath.

POPSHate From Right-Wing Talk Radio Shows I could never understand why anyone would want to listen to the hateful shows on right-wing talk radio. Especially, those who proclaim that their religion keeps them on the straight and narrow. Listening to the disgusting rhetoric these Shock Jockeys spew forth creates barbarity in those who refuse to think... When minds are so full of the nonsense from the right-wing creeps, who's only objective is to make money and control the masses, they tend to wreck havoc upon the innocent. (case-in-point, the pathetic nut who went on a shooting rampage at the UU church in TN.) We are all in the same boat. We love and want peace so why look upon each other as though we are just pockets of vermin. Haven't we had enough HATE? I guess there are some who would answer NO, because they live for aversion. Here's a little advice for DITTO-HEADS, you can live in peace, it's really quite simple, just turn your damn radios off and have a nice day. :)

POPSJon Stewart asks Larry King... "ARE YOU INSANE?" Although, this clip is a bit dated.... IT STILL RINGS TRUE TO THIS DAY... Please watch the exchange between Jon Stewart and Larry King... Stewart says, his mind has been blown consistently on this administration's insistence on their own competence... He has Larry stammering...

POPSShow Me Your Papers - Nazi Germany in America Building more jails and prisons, was always an acceptable practice. After all, how can “they” protect “their” citizens from evil criminals? That’s what we were led to believe. Today, prisons are being built strictly for profit, right under our noses, without our knowledge. Each person’s body they imprison will give the state or county an extra amount of money, so of course the objective is to fill these jails to capacity or overcapacity. Isn’t this a nice legal way to obtain revenue even though it smells of Nazi style fascism? It reminds me of the uproar the “Reagan era system”, created by claiming, poor women have babies just to get an increase in their monthly welfare checks. What a stigma that was on mothers living in poverty, standing in line at the bank to cash their monthly living allotment. The shame the government, OUR GOVERNMENT heaped upon such families, simply because they asked for a helping hand from a coldhearted system. (more below) or http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSTalk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. This morning I gave $25 to the Marijuana Policy Project: You don't have to give $25, any amount even $10, will help enlightenment to shine through the opaque curtain of disinformation; governments sometime enjoy throwing over the masses.

POPSMcCain's Better Half, Number Two Cindy McCain, played a role in the Keating Five S&L scandal, and just as her husband was rehabilitating his reputation, she was caught stealing drugs from her nonprofit organization to feed her addiction to painkillers. She has a fortune that sets the McCain's apart from most other Americans, a problem in a presidential race that hinges on economic anxieties. She can be imprecise: she has repeatedly called herself an only child, for instance, even though she has two half-siblings. Those close to her say she aspires to be like another blonde, glamorous figure married to an older man: "Diana, the Princess of Wales" . Carol McCain, (1st Mrs) worked in the Reagan White House as an event planner. She had stood by her husband during his captivity in N. Vietnam, never passing word of her debilitating car accident, (more about her... http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/carol.asp ) a few years after their reunion, McCain told her, he was leaving her for a younger, richer woman.

POPShaji haji haji A GLIMPSE INTO HELL! What if you spoke regularly of "haji food," "haji music" and "haji homes"? HAJI: (MEANING) One who has made a pilgrimage to Mecca. An article has been written about the macabre, psychotic perspective the people of Iraq and our soldiers are witnessing as the war goes on and on. The whitewashing by the mainstream media makes one believe IT'S NOT SO BAD AS WAR GOES... But as war goes, it is a horrendous nightmare never to be forgotten. I hope Bush and his Neocon cronies will read this report but I know they WILL NOT! Better to delude oneself when a gargantuan mistake such as this war is made. I am sure they, the culprits who created this hellhole must be using all means possible such as, deluding, deceiving and bamboozling themselves (they can no longer do that to us) to save their sanity. Unfortunately our guys on the Iraqi soil and those who were born there have no such means.

POPSThe Fomenting Of Hate (Legally)! (Continued From thinkingblue.blogspot.com) But that is not what is happening; the O'Reillys and Limbaughs are fomenting and stirring up hatred towards anyone who does not think or believe like they supposedly do. And if you don't believe like they do, then you will be punished. I enjoy freedom of speech but there really is something wrong with our laws when one single nut, who has unlimited access to the airwaves can promote "lynchings" of sort. (They know what they are doing and are joyful when their hate mongering produces murder.) I am deeply saddened to think there is no way we can put a stop to this. Because of this madness, I believe, there will be more killings. Maybe there's a magic number that when reached, a voice of reason will step forward and say “ENOUGH!”. I ponder that number, is it 10, 15, 200 or a 1000. A thousand doctors, lawyers or anyone who respects the law, murdered before “we the people” who live in this society can and will say ENOUGH!

POPSPetition To Pres Obama. God Bless America, My Foot! We are no longer a country “of the people, by the people” we are a country of “the big business/big lobbies, by the big business/big lobbies”. They are the true owners of this land and greed will continue to step on and over those who outnumber the greedy few at the top, millions of times over. Even when they flagrantly and arrogantly fail, they succeed and go on conducting their greed in the same manner.

POPSMobs, Bullies and Fascists 101 The shock-jocks like Limbaugh are out there in the shadows of their microphones waiting to make an attack on the innate fears of the populous. They exaggerate, amplify, blow out of proportion and hyperbolize everything and I mean EVERYTHING that may cause apprehension amongst those who are unaware of what the radio host real motive is (make ada BIG BUCKS!). In other words they prey upon the gullible for gain. I wish these vulnerable people could become informed the old fashion way by reading and inquiring the many information outlets available (legitimate newspapers and educational library books) but that's too difficult for them, plus they may be too worn-out from the hard lives they are forced to lead, due to lack of information and education. It's just too easy to click a knob on the old TV or radio and tune into the shows that dumb down their audiences. Also, the Limbaugh's give them a punching bag to direct their pant-up anger at. It’s not only sad, it’s criminal.

POPSObama Supporters, Please Pass This Around. PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified. Apparently the right wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with YES votes. The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters in swing states. Please do two things -- takes 20 seconds. 1) Click on link and vote yourself. Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html 2) Then send this to every single Obama-Biden voter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on. The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers think Sarah Palin is qualified.

POPSWho's being punished for 9-11? We the People, that's who. "They", (we all know who the "they" is) haven't caught Bin Laden after 6 years of supposedly hunting him down. "They", sent our young people into an unnecessary war deluding the war they waged on the real 9-11 designers in Afghanistan. "They", depleted our liberties under the guise of Homeland Security. "They", took away so much of our National Guard, states were left without a safety net when natural disasters occurred i.e. KATRINA, which we are still being punished for with FEMA's revised Flood Maps. This little doozie is costing Me (A CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF, WE THE PEOPLE) 200 hundred dollars a month for flood insurance, added to my mortgage because the new flood maps put my house smack dab in the middle of a flood zone. Lived in a house for almost 13 years and was high and dry through La Niñas, hurricanes and a few torrential rains replete with strong tornadoes. All of a sudden "They" tell me I need flood insurance. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSRepublican Plan To Kill Off Government View the chart on the right, notice in the past 30 years, how the Repubs have been pushing us down into a deep financial hole. Why? I can only come up with the conclusion that the red side of the aisle is out to kill off government, as we know it, altogether. Allowing them free reign to privatize EVERYTHING in the world which will allow their dreams of a World Global Market, in which they become the rulers of, to come true. The damn pesky Dems keep getting elected in interims and bring the NAT'L DEBT down to a manageable size. Just imagine if they had ruled straight through this 30 year period, their fantasies of total control would be actualized by now. I know this is a simple analogy of what the hell they are up to but maybe that's how they get away with what they are doing. Just act as though their plans are SO COMPLICATED, too difficult for the average American cretin to understand.

POPSWhy I’m proud to be a progressive liberal Every thought that polarizedpolitics.blogspot.com/ had written so eloquently on this post is my thought. We have been through so much, it is hard not to become cynical about anything government. They have let us down greatly in the past years of Republican rule. The saddest circumstance of their cunning is that so many have believed their distortions. Even when it is blatantly before them, a lie, they rationalize it into something innocent. If we were a people of enlightenment, none of the events we've experienced could have taken place. Unfortunately, so many people act like frightened little children and instead of choosing strong leadership they rather have a Big Daddy, supposedly looking out for them. Thanks for the post. I will blog it on my http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com.

POPSFor Those Undecided Voters... If you are undecided about who to vote for in the US presidential race (HUH?) Maybe, you should check with Obama's standing in the world.... Which translates something like this... In Percentages GEORGE W BUSH = 0% BARACK OBAMA = 99% JOHN McGRUMPYPANTS = 1% (Just Kidding) :-D Excerpt from article: No matter where you live, no matter which nation you hail from or to which political ideology you tend to adhere, the Bush/McCain approach to leadership -- belligerent, militaristic, religiously closed-minded, culturally stagnant, environmentally reckless, fiscally irresponsible -- has resulted in one of the most epic collapses of a world power in modern history, which in turn has made the rest of the world a more volatile, hostile place for all. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2008/10/08/notes100808.DTL&nl=fix

POPSAND THE WINNER IS... IRAQ WAR!! Mark Morford, one of the best satirical journalists weighs in on the BEST OF 07, naming IRAQ, winner of BEST WAR OF 2007. The relentless passing of time, has no effects on this war, each year it enters History's Hall of Shame, without end as long as Bush/Cheney are at the helm. It's so agonizingly painful that Morford's column this time in '08 will read again, Iraq named "War of the Year"! Bloody nation cheers 5th straight title. Bush will be speechlost and VP Dick Cheney, will utter "On behalf of myself and my boss who will both go down in history as two of the most insipid and deleterious world leaders you will ever have the displeasure of miserably recalling all your sad and pathetic days," The many years of this calamitous, tragic war have been augural, each year’s outcome predictable, no crystal ball needed. And no matter how WE THE PEOPLE bang our heads against the wall to end it, all we come up with, is a collective BUMP on our anguished heads. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com/

POPSHave You Heard Of Rene Margritte? No? Too Bad! I haven't (a cloistered life I've led). That is until this morning, when Google used one of his surrealist portraits as their logo to celebrate his birthday. This artist came upon Earth with little fanfare and left in the same manner. He did impact his being through his art and I am glad I stumbled or should I say Googled across the mark he left behind. Excerpted from his bio at: http://www.brain-juice.com/cgi-bin/show_bio.cgi?p_id=22 Magritte died - 8/15/67 - He lived humbly. He didn’t draw much attention to himself - Magritte managed to leave an artistic legacy of transforming the ordinary into the fantastic. Historians attribute Magritte's art to his desire to oppose and combat the triviality of everyday life, others say his work goes beyond escapism and serves to reveal a murkier and complex aspect of the human condition. - it is certain that Magritte's work is - hauntingly beautiful and deeply provocative. Examples at: http://www.thethinkingblue.com/art/magritte.html

POPSAN IRAQ WAR VETERAN, IN HIS OWN WORDS. An Iraq War Veteran, in his own words, tells us what it felt like to fight in an unjust war. To come home and feel shame at what his government ordered him to do. Ashamed of wearing the uniform that stood for imperialism. Then explaining the feeling of wearing this same uniform again and finally, feel pride, at trying to bring about peace instead of war. At long last, to have a sense of his own dignity or value even though, being arrested as a war protester. How pathetic is this, lopsided logic of the neocon gods? When a soldier goes to battle for peace he's considered a nuisance but when forced into combat for an illegal land grab, orchestrated by armchair hucksters of war, he's deemed brave. BHOM!!! :mad:

POPS1972 Nixon Re-election,and 20 year old Karl Rove.
" "Bush’s political style, his attitudes toward executive power, and his contempt for democratic procedures — it has been clear for many years now that his real role model is Nixon. The resemblances could fill a magazine article as long as Keller’s. Both Bush and Nixon, resentful of the supposed cultural dominance of liberals, perfected a conservative populism that vilifies academics, journalists, bureaucrats and other professionals as out-of-touch elites. Both men, hostile to the news media, rigidly prescribed the messages that their staffers could take to the press. Both vaunted secrecy, restricted access to information, and politicized areas of the government once deemed the province of non-partisan experts. Iraq has generated even more echoes of the Nixon years. In a book review in The New York Times recently, Michiko Kakutani said it was hard to read Robert Dallek’s new tome, “Nixon and Kissinger” without regarding it “as a kind of parable about the presidency of George W.
