POPSFEMA: ACORN Did Not Receive Funds Slated for Louisiana Firefighters Washington Times story is factually incorrect, and ACORN, in a statement, defended its fire prevention work and sharply criticized Vitter, suggesting the senator was attacking it to distract attention from his own prostitution scandal. “Senator Vitter was with ACORN before he was against us. Sen. Vitter knows ACORN's track record on helping communities prevent tragedy, which is why our fire prevention work in low-income communities is important,” the statement said. “Senator Vitter worked with ACORN in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to rebuild New Orleans. He provided support letters to many of our projects. It wasn't until after his prostitution scandal, and until it became politically convenient, that Sen. Vitter changed his tune.” - see clipsource

POPSThe Dollar: Like it Or Not Change is Coming Last week we learned that the national debt is likely to grow by more than $9 trillion. That's not great news -- no one likes a big deficit -- but President Obama inherited an economic mess from the Bush administration, and the cleanup comes with an inevitably high price tag. We're paying it now.

POPSGlenn Beck: Harmful to the Conservative Movement Video at first clip link. Second clip link is to a commentary from Peter Wehner, former Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives. Mr. Wehner served in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush Administrations prior to becoming deputy director of speechwriting for President George W. Bush in 2001.

POPSObama Embraces Patriot Act; As Senator He Was Skeptical I would like to hear the speech that explains this "embrace" of the Patriot Act. which collects and stores records on thousands of Americans; what the data includes is unclear; how many Americans are part of the database is unclear; the safeguards in place to prevent abuse is also unclear.

POPSA Tale of Two Joe Wilsons, a Tale of Two Americas Note that the first Joe Wilson was dead wrong, but that the Obama administration responded in a gentlemanly way to his charge. The Bush-Cheney administration, in contrast, attempted to besmirch the reputation and the life of a dedicated lifetime civil servant because he spoke the truth to the president. The story of the two Joe Wilsons and how they were treated is the story of two visions of America. The Bush-Cheney vision is a nightmarish landscape of blighted lives and cruel indifference to basic human decency. The Obama vision is just the Golden Rule, with which the people who vote for the evil Joe Wilson typically profess acquaintance.

POPSA Change for the Better: Pravda - Moscow, Russia This article is scathing in it's criticism of the Bush Administration, comparing them to Hitler's Cabinet. Ouch! I didn't clip those opinions because I'm interested in what is being written about our new President. As this article was written, Russian nuclear ships are on their way to the Caribbean to engage in joint maneuvers with Venezuela. http://english.eluniversal.com/2008/10/30/en_pol_esp_venezuela-prepares-s_30A2102889.shtml

POPSFinal Obama-McCain Polls McCain's association with President Bush was named as more damaging to him than his choice of running mate What a sad state of affairs that Sarah Palin isn't kicked to curb. She a crooked politician who believes that Adam, Eve and the dinosaurs all walked the earth during the same time period. A politician who would further deprive Americans of their liberty if she only had a chance. I hope that our education system improves under an Obama administration. The downside is that ignorance promulgated by religion will continue come Obama or McCain. What a country!

POPSMarijuana, Cigarettes and the Bush Administration I believed Clinton too because I didn't get high the first time I smoked pot: didn't know how to inhale. (Never have smoked cigs). In American-style Christianity, smoking is a sin. I wonder how Bush reconciles with his god the fact that he is condoning sin by promoting cigarette smoking overseas.
