POPSObama Tells O'Reilly Surge Succeeded Before the interview was arranged, Obama and his staff held a closed door meeting with Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes to discuss his network's media coverage of the presidential election. According to Ailes, Obama wanted to know if he would get a "fair shake" from Fox. Ailes told the Washington Post he replied, "Senator, you're the one who boycotted us. We're not the ones who boycotted you. Nor did we retaliate for your boycott."

POPSProfanity Immunity I'd LOVE to have immunity on CM but heck lemme address what I think is "kinky" about GOP "family values" instead of the dreaded F word. (and I meant fudge) I find it profane that they are busy wasting people's lives and treasure on a war for political and oil industry profit. I find it obscene they they have bankrupted the government to pay for tax breaks for the rich, corporate welfare and an insane cold war military style buildup. I find it dirty that they have ignored the Constitution. I find it immoral that they tell us what we really need are some "moral values" issues to shroud their wickedness in Godliness; to keep what they are really up to out of sight and out of mind and out of the news at all costs. I find poverty offensive. I find injustice, racism, sexism, and homophobia offensive. But most of all I find the greed of empire offensive. Oh, F U D G E . . .

POPSHow To Stop Putin What we can do is alter Putin's cost-benefit calculations. We are not without resources. There are a range of measures to be deployed if Russia does not live up to its cease-fire commitments: 1. Suspend the NATO-Russia Council established in 2002 2. Bar Russian entry to the World Trade Organization. 3. Dissolve the G-8. Putin's dictatorship long made Russia's presence in this group of industrial democracies a farce, but no one wanted to upset the bear by expelling it. No need to. The seven democracies simply withdraw. (And if Italy's Silvio Berlusconi, who has been sympathetic to Putin's Georgia adventure, wants to stay, he can have an annual G-2 dinner with Putin.) Then immediately announce the reconstitution of the original G-7. 4. Announce a U.S.-European boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi. The most crucial and unconditional measure, however, is this: Reaffirm support for the Saakashvili government:

POPS Answering Russia 10. Announce the creation of a new information network, much larger and better funded than Voice of America or Radio Free Europe to deliver Internet, TV and radio broadcasts into neo-Soviet Russia so that Russians can learn the truth about their country.

POPSO'Reilly is Just So....Funny! I never had seen this until someone posted it on youtube the other day. I don't watch Bill very much, once in a while I catch his shows and find him to be seriously funny, yet somehow also think he is sad and pathetic, since he seems to actually BELIEVE the crap he is saying. But here he is in yet another humorous yet pitiful moment! Enjoy!

POPSDakota Fanning's Sundance Rape Scene Good for Dakota for defending this movie. I believe it is utterly absurd to say this a scene, a non-explicit scene in a movie is child pornography. On top of that to make the claim that A) Ms. Fanning was abused, and B) 12 year olds cant makes "these types of decisions" is ludicrous. The child star says it better than anyone when she points out its just a film, its just acting. No one is getting hurt here, If you don't like the film, don't watch it. This is a typical example of controversy for the sake of controversy.

POPSTerrorist Racheal: America's Crisis Continues! First, the news came out that Food Network's Racheal Ray was a terrorist , wearing a keffiyeh around her neck to show her solidarity with Palestinian terr'ists -- in a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Yikes! Then Michelle Malkin announced she was considering a donut boycott. Now, Dunkin' Donuts is covering up for Racheal's sympathy for evildoers. But sharp wingnut Jon at Exurban League isn't buying it:

POPSA REAL Issue.... Where have all the US Jobs gone? And where will they continue to go until we wake up and smell the coffee? While we have become so distracted by some trivial and not so trivial issues, our economy and prosperity has been given away to the Chinese. We are IN DEBT to them, and they manufacture goods WE USED TO MAKE. Pretty soon, when we say NO to China they won't listen because they won't need to. We have given away all of our economic power.

POPSAn Angry China Is Lashing Out At Foreign Critics Internet demands for boycotts have unnerved some foreign companies. Following the Olympic flame's troubled passage through Paris on April 7, activists called on Chinese citizens to boycott Carrefour, a French supermarket chain that is the largest foreign retailer in China, starting on May 1. Anonymous mobile phone text messages accuse the retailer of backing the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing blames for instigating unrest in Tibet, a charge the retailer denies. Many Chinese are incensed that a pro-Tibet protester in Paris lunged to snatch the torch from Chinese athlete Jin Jing, who was in a wheelchair. State television in China has portrayed Jin as a hero for hanging onto the torch.

POPSShould You Travel to Repressive Countries? Using this summer's Olympics in China as a prime example, this article raises an interesting question: does traveling to a repressive country further embolden a government or increase an exchange of ideas that may one day lead to a freer society? What do you think?

POPSUnpolitical sports? - A memento of the Olympic Games of Berlin, 1936 Having rejected a proposed boycott of the 1936 Olympics, the United States and other western democracies missed the opportunity to take a stand that — some observers at the time claimed — might have given Hitler pause and bolstered international resistance to Nazi tyranny. With the conclusion of the Games, Germany's expansionist policies and the persecution of Jews and other “enemies of the state” accelerated, culminating in World War II and the Holocaust.
