POPS Uncle Sam’s Collections Continue Their Steep Drop It is ironic to say the least that Congress and the Obama administration are glorifying the idea of a “public option” that would ultimately lead to government-run health care while Treasury receipts continue to shrink. If the private health insurance market disappears, so will its taxes. To name just one example, Aetna’s recorded income tax expense on its financial statements for 2005-2008 (including state and local taxes) averaged roughly $900 million per year. Put the company’s health insurance segment out of business, and a large portion of those taxes would stop coming in, digging the country’s and various states’ debt holes that much deeper. The establishment press has paid very little attention to fiscal 2009’s drop of 19.5% in receipts from economic activity, so I expect similar treatment of October’s continuation of the trend. It would appear that they don’t want any unsettling news getting in the way of the statist agenda.

POPSFake Security Software In Millions Of Computers Oh Boy! A new computer scam. ""In terms of the number of people who potentially have this in their machines, it's tens of millions," Weafer said." It was also impossible to tell how much cyberthieves made off with but "affiliates" acting as middlemen to convince people to download the software were believed to earn between 1 cent per download and 55 cents. TrafficConverter.biz, which has been shut down, had boasted that its top affiliates earned as much as $332,000 a month for selling scam security software, according to Weafer."

POPSBibles by Victoria Jackson Born Aug. 2,1959 in Miami, Florida, Victoria was raised in a Bible-believing, piano-playing, gymnastic home with no TV. Her dad was a gym coach, so she competed in gymnastics from ages 5-18. Cheerleader.. homecoming queen.. attended Florida Bible College; received a gymnastic scholarship to Furman University, attended Auburn University one year, and ended up in Hollywood, CA via summer stock in Alabama, where she met Johnny Crawford (The Rifleman) who promptly put her in his night club act and sent her a one-way ticket to the show-biz capital. Following her 20 appearances with Johnny Carson, she starred in many movies and TV shows, most notably six seasons on "Saturday Night Live." It's a shame SNL has ruined their show. There was a time when it catered to all audiences.

POPSJake Tapper's ACORN Posts at his ABC Political Punch Blog ABC's Charles Gibson --- "Unaware" of Five Day-Old ACORN Controversy, Senate Vote to De-Fund ACORN Gibson, as John Stephenson and P.J. Gladnick of NewsBusters noted in September of last year, as a result of his interview with GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, twisted her words, with the help of selective editing, to portray her as some kind of out of touch, excessively religious, militaristic rube. With the above interview, no editing is required. Who’s out of touch now, Charlie? Cross-posted at NewsBusters.org. _______________________________________ UPDATE: Rush and some NB commenters are speculating that Gibson may have said “I haven’t heard about it” because the only other alternative would be to say a completely damning “We didn’t think it was important.” Gibson’s laugh at the beginning of his response does seem to be a bit nervous.

POPSDear Jon Stewart - Please Change Your Name Back to Leibowitz This is a great opinion piece! If you read the whole article, you'll even get a nod to Michael Jackson and the author's affirmation of the importance of making our external image line up with our internal self-identity. Our bigotry as a society will subside only when those of us who don't subscribe in one way or another to the majority have the courage to be ourselves. This is fundamental to queer theory, diversity, and multi-culturalism...but the costs of facing social ostracization are steep. Be brave everyone! The world needs to be a place where individuals can be themselves at every level!

POPSThe goal of twitter's new home page... The quote above is from @biz. I just don't see this being twitter's problem. i can't imagine a simpler, more straightforward service than twitter. I genuinely believe that people who don't use twitter don't use it because they're not interested in what it does...not because they don't understand what it does.

POPSComments by @biz on @techcrunch releasing stolen docs I really want to see Arrington pay for this...he's such a pompous ass in the first place - but to play god and decide day-by-day which documents to reveal and which to keep confidential is absurd. He should have taken the stolen information and alerted twitter about what happened and not even considered publishing them or reading them.

POPSChronology of statements around @techcrunch releasing twitter's stolen info Love that Techcrunch says they got the green light, but explicitly admits that twitter isn't happy about it - what kind of green light is that?? Then @ev and @biz flatly deny giving the green light. @arrington says "let the healing process begin." are you kidding me - you release a whole bunch of sensitive, private, stolen info and then cavalierly tweet, 'let the healing process begin.' the only healing process needed is for people to unfollow @techcrunch and make a statement that this kind of behavior won't be rewarded. I'd be the first to do it, but i already don't follow them.

POPSDisgust-Blogging The Press Conference
. . . . . Iranian people is one with which the United States can do business. And he is still planning on doing that. Good luck, Iranian people! That’s when I stopped listening. Let me know if I missed something. I’m looking forward to all the news reports that will tell me how he took a strong tone with his strongest words yet, etc. I hope the people of Iran, if they manage to free themselves of their violent, oppressive religious extremist rule, will forgive him his timid naivety, or shortsighted obtuseness, whatever it is. http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/06/obamas_latest_statement_on_ira_1.asp I have made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is not at all interfering in Iran’s affairs. But we must also bear witness to the courage and dignity of the Iranian people, and to a remarkable opening within Iranian society. And we deplore violence against innocent civilians anywhere . .

POPS Iranian Twitterers Sidestep News Blackout "Since the election, we have heard reports that users in Iran are having difficulties accessing Facebook," said Barry Schnitt, Facebook spokesman. "This is disappointing, especially at a time when Iranians are turning to the internet as a source of information about the recent election." Judging by tweets since Friday's election, the censorship didn't slow some users down. Many then tweeted to share their tactics. "Iranelection" was the top Twitter trend for the past few days, and a message thread led by "Persiankiwi" appeared to be orchestrating hacker attacks on official Iran websites while firing off updates on developments in the streets. "We are going offline to get a phone free for calling out," Persiankiwi tweeted at midday. "We are also moving location - too long here - is dangerous." A subsequent Persiankiwi tweet reads: "Attacked in streets by mob on motorbikes with batons - firing guns into air - street fires all over town - roads closed."

POPSEconomic Stimulus: Bush Fan Stuff is Flying Off the Shelves “OK, Obama goes to a big international summit in Sydney, says ‘Sorry, I don’t speak Australian.’” “I don’t get it. Australians speak English. Sort of.” “Never mind. One more. OK … blah blah blah, Economic Stimulus Plan, blah blah blah House Republicans … and then Obama says, ‘Why don’t you just get some new marching orders from Rush Limbaugh!?!’” “Ha ha ha! Comedy gold! … Hey, we could make Rush Limbaugh cookies!” Bummer the Bush bash biz is falling off, though the article goes on to say Bush fan stuff is flying off the shelves, so that’s something.
