POPSMalignant Narcissicm "The public record shows this: First, within the minds of Barack and Michelle Obama resides the grandiose, even megalomaniacal notion that they have the power to make the world as-it-is into the world-as-it-should be. Second, the Obamas look to talk-show host, Oprah Winfrey, as their "global role model" to effect this change. Third, as the Obamas' model for change, Oprah relentlessly promotes the grandiose New Age religion of her guru, Eckhart Tolle. "

POPSNarcissistic personality disorder When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may also seek out others you think have the same special talents, power and qualities — people you see as equals. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance. But underneath all this grandiosity often lies a very fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation. And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better.

POPSCaught with his pants down - Another liberal liar exposed This slimeball blames "narcissicism". Seems this is a liberal trait. Boy oh boy, can't wait to read Coulter's next column on this! Now let's look at the other liar, B. Hussein Obama who claims to not be a muslim. Anybody look at the satellite view of his Hyde Park home, directly across the street from a mosque??

POPS...Obama an appeaser? How dare you FTA: "Increasingly, the Western world has attitudes rather than policies. It's one thing to talk as a means to an end. But these days, for most midlevel powers, talks arethe end, talks without end. Because that's what civilized nations like doing – chit-chatting, shooting the breeze, having tea and crumpets, talking talking talking. Uncivilized nations like torturing dissidents, killing civilians, bombing villages,..."

POPSUpper Midwest has worst drunken driving rates The federal government also released estimates of driving under the influence of illicit drugs. The rates were highest in the District of Columbia, 7 percent; Rhode Island, 6.8 percent; and Massachusetts, 6.4 percent. Coincides nicely with the rates of narcissism in these upper mid-west and north-east corridors.

POPSLetting go of our defenses Excerpt:s: “Lenin was surely right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.” "Inflation in the United States means a weaker dollar, and a weaker dollar means a weakened United States. It also means more tanks and jet fighters and missiles for Moscow and Beijing. As America sinks in self-absorption, Russia and China look outward. The suffering of the Russian and Chinese people is centuries old. They are adapted to suffering, but America has adapted itself to hedonistic expectations. In an attempt to cling to prosperity, America is ready to let go of its defenses."

POPSMcCain as President Would be a Megalomaniac This article appeared in The American Conservative Magazine which just endorsed Ron Paul. The "maverick" McCain appears to have changed his positions in light of personal ambitions, which also smacks of Willard Milton Romney. This formerly tortured POW (something that psychologists testify of full well leads to a corresponding pathological abuse of others in return) could become a global meglomaniac that would make Bush look like a pacifist, hard as it is to imagine. The neocons, from the left originally, will love him.

POPSThe Kennedy Mystique I am not a big fan of David Brooks, as I find many of his views far too right-wing and conservative for my liking. When I started to read today's NY Times column I was ready for a blast at Kennedy and his endorsement of Obama. But it turned into one of the most positive and lauding commentaries I have read about any politician in a very long time. I hope you will read the entire column, as my clipping is very limited.

POPSI'm So Happy To Be Childless A little talked about subject, voluntary childlessness. I, for one, do NOT live a life compatible with (two-legged) children and I actually like it that way!! I'm glad more women are beginning to speak out and break the "taboo" of not wanting children.

POPSThe Secret: The Spirituality of Narcissism The article is lengthy, but worthy. if you don't like it, (maybe you think 'The Secret is holy scripture, your Ego is God, and Oprah is its prophet), at least it will help you THINKING FOR YOURSELF.

POPSThe 7 Wonders of the Totalitarian World "Throughout history, it is the deep-pocketed madmen who tend to leave behind the biggest wonders. And while last month's election of the New Seven Wonders of the World hints at this point -- the emperors who fed Christians to the lions in the Roman Coliseum were neither mild-mannered nor impoverished -- they're basically positive tributes to mankind's triumphant, enduring half. But what of the tyranny that drove men to produce such wonders? On some level, each of the New Seven is also a colossal monument to narcissism, either some ruler or some culture's desire to go bigger and leave a mark that cannot be erased -- a sentiment not unlike the one held by some of today's most ruthless dictators. With that in mind, we created the following list, celebrating those modern monuments from the totalitarian world that may or may not make it through the next coup. Check them out while you still can."
