POPS'Now We Have Proof' Jihadis Infiltrating D.C.
Noting that CAIR has tried to hide its strategy, finances, membership, internal disputes and much more from public view since its founding in 1994, Islam expert Daniel Pipes lauded "Muslim Mafia" for definitively exposing the "tawdry and often illegal inner workings of radical Islam's most aggressive organization in North America." "The revelations in this book should both put CAIR out of business and permanently discredit the Islamist cause," Pipes said. Undercover Along with declassified government documents, the book unveils thousands of e-mails, faxes and internal memos that were never meant for public viewing. "Muslim Mafia" also exposes the inner workings of the mob-like Brotherhood and explains its broader conspiracy of infiltrating the American government and "destroying Western civilization from within." "The evidence found in the investigation is incontrovertible," said co-author Sperry, noting that the book has more than 40 pages of footnotes and an

POPSEmbarrasing Internet Mistakes With near-instantaneous communication via e-mail and IM, the Internet makes socializing and "hanging out" with your friends as easy as updating your Facebook profile But like any technology, the Internet is just a tool, and when you're driving at these lightning speeds on the information superhighway, one wrong move -- a misguided keystroke, a mistaken Reply All -- can lead to disaster, fast. Private matters become public in one hot instant, and, like the contents of Pandora's Box, some secrets don't go away so easily once they're out there. Here are 12 cautionary online tales that serve to remind us how garden variety office gossip and misinformation can now go global in a split second.

POPSHeadlines Many Would Love To See Don't think it could ever happen? Well, no one ever thought a draft-dodging, pot-smoking, intern-groping perjurer could get elected president twice, be impeached, and then make a viable bid to become first "lady."

POPSNew CIA Docs Detail Brutal "Extraordinary Rendition" Process
All of these practices are carefully engineered to facilitate the interrogation process. Nudity, sleep deprivation and dietary manipulation are used as standard preparatory steps. It then details the standard "corrective techniques:" these are a series of physical assaults labeled with innocuous titles like insult slap, abdominal slap, facial hold and attention grasp. "Coercive techniques" used include: walling (slamming a prisoner's head against the wall, with some protective measures to avoid severe injuries), water dousing, the use of the stress position (known to the inquisition as the strapado, to the Germans in World War II as Pfahlbinden), wall standing (referred to by the NKVD and KGB as stoika) and cramped confinement. Because of substantial redactions, it seems unlikely that this list is complete. None of this information is surprising. In fact it all tallies perfectly with the description of the renditions program that can be derived from the report prepared by the Intern

POPSCharles Bronson got your tongue? A review of "District 9"
More: The movie does end on a note of incompletion: characters still at large, maybe the second half of the story yet to come. I craved that, and walked out of the theatre speculating on what more the story could have given me: a virus that turns every human into an alien; an interspecies romance; how the black intern's role could have been bigger. What would protest marches and interspecies activist alliances have looked like, among the aliens? If they landed in 1982, what would the anti-apartheid Sun City campaign that started not much later have looked like? And if they were in South Africa that whole time, why haven't the world intelligentsia anointed some of them for speaking tours? I would totally love to see "Christopher Johnson" in an ascot at some Ivy League colloquium, deep in debate over the roots and meaning of alien poverty. So. There was potential there, but the movie couldn't do it…the ambition was there, but not the follow-through.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a printed statement saying, "That's finally it! I want a divorce! It was just a fake marriage anyway!"

POPS Bloggers Get Budget Briefing This booklet contains a series of 40 charts on federal spending, taxes, debt and deficits, and entitlements. The charts outline the increases in federal spending that are projected to occur during the Obama administration. Nicola Moore of the Heritage Foundation described the new material as “blogger-friendly.” Bloggers will be able to “save it and embed that image directly on blog,” Moore said. Moore added that this year, there is a new interactive feature with a flash graphic version of one of the charts. Moore also welcomes input from those who have new ideas for charts and other suggestions. The contents of the book can be found online at www.heritage.org/budgetchartbook. Brittany Fortier is an intern at the American Journalism Center, a training program run by Accuracy in Media and Accuracy in Academia.

POPSFormer intern to tell of affair with John F. Kennedy She gave a brief statement confirming a "sexual relationship" had lasted until his assassination in November 1963, but has said nothing more since then. In an added twist, the young Miss Beardsley was educated at the same exclusive private academy earlier attended by Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, who was to become the president's wife. Mrs Alford - she has since re-married - is now working on a memoir entitled Once Upon a Secret about hiding such an explosive episode in her past for most of her life, the New York Times reported. Susan Mercandetti, executive editor at Random House, said the book would be a "woman's coming-of-age story". She added: "It's about a loss of innocence. I was just completely struck by how simple, yet how profound, it was."

POPSGhosts of Democrat Presidents Past Here's the wrap: Clinton did take a stab at redemption, shooting a missile at an aspirin factory—oh, and at an intern named Monica Lewinsky. One missile missed its mark. Thankfully George W. Bush stepped in and re-established America's position on "Don't Mess with Texas," by kicking some Iraqi tail. Bush also told the world that the US is not beholden to anybody when it comes to our sovereignty and protecting our citizens. With all the potential world hot spots looming, is there any sane person who believes Obama to be the right man for the job? I know he was recently battle-tested in Somali with that confrontation...with the four Somali pirates.

POPSMayor Adams' Sex Scandal Come on man - you abused your position by shagging an intern (don't care if you really did wait until he was 18) and then lied during the campaign to save your political ass. This certainly is a character issue. Hold gay politicians to the same standards as straight ones. How would this play if Adams was straight and it was a female intern we were talking about?

POPSCan A Punchline Be A Lifeline? "I had a vague sense that prompting a patient to laugh could sometimes be therapeutic. But when is it safe — let alone useful — to joke with a psychiatric patient? At least in the hospital, the patients seemed to have enough trouble relating to me without having to decode the nuance of humor. It seemed too risky, too ripe for misunderstanding. Still, there were patients who insisted on joking with me. "

POPSHmm? No joke, if we decided to hire an intern at Clipmarks, I'd get to know them better than this before offering them the position. I just don't get how McCain didn't find a way to spend more time with her before making his decision.

POPSBubba The Baby All those years the public believed the Media and it's protection of Bill Clinton. The man apparently had charisma but no core strength. His persona was *created. I never would have voted for Hillary but she is a cut above her husband and even Obama. Hint, hint....how a person is portrayed by the Media & that person's handlers may not be who that person really is....beware of *created* candidates who conform outwardly but are vile and petty on the inside.
