POPSMichelle Obama on Larry King This quote was an answer she gave when Larry asked if she got upset or angry hearing the things that Palin and McCain have been saying in order to try and slander her husband. When I think about these sentiments in contrast to the crap coming from the other side, it's all so clear...

POPS "Large Fella" Bikes Back to Life 50 pounds in the first four months – and they kept on coming off. He'll be quick to point out that he wasn't “dieting”; he was changing his life. Permanently. He and his family left the east coast for Minneapolis, largely for its reputation as a cycling haven. Thus far Cutshall has dropped to about 230 pounds; he estimates that he'll plateau around 180 but says, “"It's not about a goal weight," he said. "I'm just doing what's healthy for my body, and the results will follow."

POPSReligious Hate Speech The view from one of the believers. If you care to wade through this drivel you will be entertained by a multitude of false assertions, straw men, and arguments from ignorance. The depth of illogic is stunning. It's sad that many people who read this sort of crap swallow it as readily as they do the dogma behind 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.

POPSAll Polls Indicate: Obama Wins Second Debate
Poll numbers and respectable expert opinion is overwhelming - but Obama's growing lead in the Electoral Collage growing by leaps and bounds. He's now estimated to have 264 electoral votes while McCain is estimated to only have less than 180. Yet a lot of talking heads yawn, say it was boring, or pretend that the baseball play-offs are more important (an effort at trivializing Obama's victories) -- and they continue to report smear and slander advertising campaigns against Obama as if it was news. As if a womanizer, crap shooter, ego manic ex-fly boy who confessed to war crimes in Vietnam and pleaded for special treatment when a POW is a better choice? There were real heroes in Vietnam but he wasn't one of them. And despite Vietnam being another undeclared war built on lies a soldier is suppose to be loyal and not give aid to the enemy. At least the smear, above, is based on truth; and we can't lose this election because Republican throw more *hit. BTW, debate a bit b

POPSObama: McCain's Health Plan 'Radical' Annenberg FactCheck had this to say about McCain's healthcare proposal: Workers would be taxed on the value of any employer-paid health benefits, partially offsetting the $5,000 credit for those now covered by such plans. Experts say a tax credit plan like this would likely cause companies to reduce or eliminate health benefits for their employees. Sounds great, John. Got any more crap you want to sell us?

POPSGetting You To Eat Crap So, you can see how some people might think, “Well, maybe I should try this crap instead of cheeseburger today. Maybe I’m just missing something.” Still, despite all the media attempts to confuse people, at the end of the day most people are going to say, “That’s crap and that’s a cheeseburger. I don’t eat crap; I eat cheeseburgers.” And that’s why Republicans win. Well… in other election years.

POPSTHE SHIT PEDDLERS All the myths that are floated as truth, is nauseating beyond the puke bucket. The right-winged, learned ones who perhaps didn't sleep through all of their college courses, whip out the dialogue of mendacity every time they are threatened to be overthrown by THE OTHER PARTY. Oh they keep their fairytale myths alive all through their years of control but election time is when they really roll up their sleeves and get the SHIT shovels lined up to cover us all in blankets of Repulsive Untruths against our common senses and THE OTHER PARTY. I picked up a newspaper belonging to a red bible belt area where many of the followers or better word SHEEP live and who desperately want to believe the crap their Right-winged commanders spew forth, even if it doesn't quite make sense to them.

POPSRandom Crap McCain continues to reinforce the image of the old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn. Or as Jon Stewart phrases it, "Old man yells at clouds".

POPSMcCain Runs Scared What a load of unadulterated crap. Granpa is fooling no one. In all likelihood this is an attempt to remove the focus on his sinking campaign and to eliminate a potentially disastrous VP debate. If the electorate buys this desperate political trick then perhaps we deserve 4 more years of a failing economy, lost jobs, and devaluation of the dollar.

POPS$700 Billion Bailout Could Fund Private Foreign Banks I'm totally amazed!!! When WE THE PEOPLE need to upgrade our infrastructure --- NO there's no money for that!!! With the new bankruptcy laws if you fall under because of medical, financial, lost wages etc. you really can't get rid of your debt under chapter 7 practically unless you die them I'm sure they will be after your family! But, when the Wall Street takes your money invests it in whatever they want make tons of money, toys, bonuses etc..and it goes south then you the tax payer <> has to bail them out.. If Bush had his way (which McCain voted for) we would be under private social security >> people would be broke right about now.. Funny they want to PRIVATIZE the use of your money, but when it all goes to pot then they want to SOCIALIZE you to repaying the debt.. Got to love this crap!! And still the public is with its thumb up its butt watching reality shows!! DAH < Yankee Stadium - < thats important >> argh!!

POPSPentagon To Expand Intel Ops at US Prison in Afghanistan
What incredible crap they sling at us... Originally built as a Soviet air base in the 1980s, the Bagram prison was meant to be a short-term holding site. Bagram has been a flash point in the debate over U.S. treatment of detainees. The International Red Cross has negotiated with U.S. officials about conditions and access to detainees. After peaking at nearly 700 prisoners in 2006, the population at Bagram has hovered for the past year at its 600-prisoner capacity, according to Central Command figures provided in response to a USA TODAY inquiry. The intelligence hires are to be in place before next summer's scheduled completion of the new detention center that will hold 1,000 prisoners, an increase in capacity by 65%. "In 2001 ... we never thought we'd still be (at Bagram) today," said Brig. Gen. Robert Holmes, deputy operations chief at U.S. Central Command, which oversees Afghanistan operations. "Now that we see this as a sustained activity, there were improvements to be mad

POPSAll Hail Our Glorious Leader! Note: The official Obama campaign website is doing this. They're screaming about McCain running the sleaziest campaign ever, while they're actively trying to stifle dissent against Obama. Not refuting it; not ridiculing it; not even engaging with it. Trying to keep it from being said at all. If this is like last time, they won't even send a campaign rep to the show, which is just down the street from their HQ. No, just send in the phone zombies. And they're getting away with this. I guess because if you have a problem with it, you're a racist? I've got my Amazon Kindle right here and I just downloaded Freddoso's book. While I still can.

POPSWil S**t Hapen? This smacks of petty paranoia. Comments at the source offered some creative solutions: "waterguns full of bleach or urine, just like releasing poisonous snakes, just like the balloons filled with hydrochloric acid... this is just police fantasy. There is a big difference between being prepared for a situation and preparing for a fictional tactic that you came up with yourself" "Carry empty buckets and fill them on-site. Ex-Lax helps. " I can see it now: "Is that a bucket of feces?" "No, officer. It's a firkin of feces." "Oh. Okay, then."

POPSPalin Target of Email Smear Campaign Emery is internet folklorist David Emery. Don't you just love the irony here? Sooner or later, someone's going to get everything all screwed up and people will start believing that Palin's a secret Muslim and Obama pretended to give birth to Bristol Palin's baby. Just stick to the stuff in the newspapers, people. Everything else is probably crap. There are enough real problems with Sarah Palin; there's no reason to make stuff up.

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.
