POPSAmerica, Love It or Leave It Wherever that is, there will probably be a few American tanks and some bombers and things, but at least you won't be keeping the rest of us awake with your shrill cries over phantoms of lost liberty. There may be other countries with higher standards of living, with better governments more responsive to the wishes of their electorate. Sure, there may be countries where freedom and human rights are more than just catchphrases to be tossed out the window the minute it's inconvenient, such as I admit does happen in the United States now and then (especially now). ----- Indeed, with poverty, racism, inequality, a disintegrating infrastructure, corporate control of the government, and the spiralling degradation of the environment, some crybabies could claim that America is no longer the greatest nation in the world. ------ If you look on the bright side of things, if you see the ass as half-full instead of half-empty, you realize we've never had it so good.

POPSSarah Palin is a Bitch… there I said it. "Please take your ridiculous hair, your over lipstick-smacking mouth, your Lenscrafter look smarter glasses and your poorly fitted designer jackets back to Alaska. And when you get there, shove a piece of the pipeline up your considerable ass. I’ll be damned if we’ll put our children’s future in your hands. And the same thing goes for McCain - the ass wipe who gave her this national platform effectively pushing the woman’s movement back into the dark ages - knowing McCain that might have been his plan all along." Love it!

POPSLetter To New College Freshmen Also, if you feel the need to lecture your father about how corrupt corporations are – remember that he worked 30 years at one so he could afford your tuition - despite paying thousands of dollars to the government, propping up programs that did nothing but pamper the friends – and sensibilities - of the messiah, Obama. If, after that, you still feel like lecturing – you will do it naked. Because we will take the clothes off your back and kick you out on your ass. See how life works when everything we worked so hard for...no longer exists.

POPSBoy - How could I have said this?! The sway artists DO control the elections. Without the "good" opinions, a guy who actually knows economic issues as a winner in that arena, was demolished by the press. Oh, so subtly ------- REPORTER: "Today we look at whether a Mormon can get elected in the United States."--------- --------------- My ASS! Shake yourselves. We've been drifting to some hybridized freak nation of Socialism/capitalism/Communism/shadow-dictatorship since long before Bush and both parties are patsies, tools. Both are complicit, half-braindead useful idiots. I am off to Belize. There is no going back. America has had its day.

POPSCall it FAUX if it Makes You Feel Better,...BUT Here's the straight poop on the duplicity of Franks on Fannie & housing. These people are rigidly clenching, immersing each other in exaggerated inappropriate praise and mutual ass-covering, and total shirking responsibility for the ideology and partisanship that is AT LEAST equally responsible for where we are. The administration part was more "sins of omission" or just not pushing hard enough. These clownholes have an active responsibility which they currently lie to YOU about. They just keep saying it - over & over. Making a FOOL of YOU!!!

POPS" I am Joe Six-Pack. I am not who they think that they are talking to. Are you?" More: Joe is the guy I worked with who served in Vietnam, worked construction, had four kids, thought Portland micro-brews were for hippies and weirdos -- and told me one day about having to change churches, because "our pastor spends all his time talking about how bad the gays are, and I go to church for God, and I really don't think God cares who you sleep with or who you marry." Oh, and he went back to school at 45 to get a degree in architecture, so I guess he won't be Joe Six-Pack soon. His income will put him into that Better Class of People y'all think you're part of. Joe is a writer or an actor or an artist who waits tables, pumps gas, shelves books, does landscaping, delivers pizza, scrubs toilets, and otherwise works his or her ass off all day or night to pay the mortgage so they can continue to write or act or make art.

POPSThe hate from the left continues Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the s--t and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b---h! Don’t you f--kin’ reference Old Testament, bitch! You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls--t! Don’t you touch my Old Testament, you b---h!

A Tina Fey-Megan Mullally brokedown bulls--t moment.

POPSThe Young Turks: "Did John McCain Lie About His P.O.W Record?" I firmly believe that the generation of politicians that came to power before the age of YouTube and the like are going to find themselves bitten in the ass over and over again. They've gotten used to changing their stories over and over, and up until now no one was paying attention.

POPSTim Wise: This is Your Nation on White Privilege "White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action. White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don’t all piss on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S. Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you’re “untested.” "

White privilege is being able to say that you support the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance because "if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me," and not be immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the "under God" part wasn't added until the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a dangerous

POPS The Selfless Philanderer And then she spoils it all by wearing that hideous green dress! I’m sure you’ve seen the hilariously disturbing You Tube video of McCain checking out Palin’s ass, all the while fiddling with his wedding ring. In light of the recent allegations of Palin’s own infidelity, Cindy just better watch her scary self. When you marry a philanderer you get, well a philanderer. Good luck with that, honey!

POPSA Recovering L.A. Times Reporter Blogs Sarah Live 7:57 p.m.: I’m guessing Jack Bauer of “24″ would vote for Gov. Palin. 8:01 p.m.: Holy crap! She’s a pitbull and has opened a can of Whoop-ass on Barack Obama. 8:05 p.m.: Palin has managed to make Obama look insignificant, McCain appear heroic, and herself: a grassroots American who won’t back down from a fight. 8:09 p.m.: Palin has just hijacked the presidential campaign. I’ve got a skeptical, Obama-loving wife and some liberal sons, and they all think she killed it. 8:11 p.m.: She gets bonus points if that skirt is actually leather. 8:13 p.m.: Incredible visuals at the end: pregnant teenage daughter, goofy (but handsome) father of teenage daughter’s baby, Down’s Syndrome baby. Does anyone not have a tear in their eye? williamlobdell.com

POPSRevenge is Sweet - But a Prank is Better! There is a new service "out there" that allows you to send a "TEXT BOMB" - meaning 1,000 text messages every 10 minutes with the message of your choice...like ""Just 9999 reminders that SIZE DOES MATTER!" I think it is geared towards disgruntled employees and jilted lovers, but hey, if your cheating spouse has a cell phone...or her boy/girl friend? ""Only 9999 more reminders that Valtrex is on Blue Light Special!" I could not figure out if you have to pay for this text - bombing experience. It appears to be free. ..and legal.
