And he describes in detail Lincoln, who has been disbarred in three states, relating his opinion of Taitz's sexual performance.

POPSNews Flash: Coal Still Causes Global Warming So what happens when someone like Joe Lucas says something as blatantly untrue as “I don’t know if Global Warming is Caused By Coal”? It makes everyone on the environmentalist side see red, get riled, and want to walk away from the discussion. It casts us back into a debate that we need to be past! Coal burning releases C02. C02 causes global warming. Hey Joe, Bush is no longer president. You can speak the truth now.

POPS'Family Guy' to parody 'Return of the Jedi' The show's previously announced parody of "The Empire Strikes Back" is titled "Something-Something-Something Dark Side." Unfortunately, Fox won't air "Dark Side" until the fall. But with Carrie Fisher playing a recurring role on "Family Guy" as Peter Griffin's boss, there's some hope around the show's campfire that she'll do a voiceover in the "Empire" spoof (not as Princess Leia, since Lois plays Leia, but as another character...)

POPSOhio Rep. Kaptur Advises Homeowners Facing Foreclosure To Stay
Sandusky lawyer Dan McGookle, who is representing a homeowner trying to have a predatory loan rescinded, said mortgage firms may not be able to prove they complied with truth-in-lending laws and other state and federal procedures. "We have strong reason to believe that a majority of the mortgage loans made in the last 10 years are defective - unenforceable for various reasons," Mr. McGookle said. Ironically, Mr. Moody agreed that people threatened with foreclosure should try to work out a solution and should stay in the home as long as possible. Cathleen Tillman, director of the Lucas County Sheriff's Departmen, also said people should remain in the homes until the deed has been transferred, and not to abandon a home that is still listed in their name. "The foreclosure takes a long time," she said. More than 4,000 foreclosure actions were filed in 2008 in Lucas County, and the sheriff's department carried out 85 foreclosure-related evictions.
