POPSCarrie Prejean Goes Down. Literally! Of course, all of this should have little effect on her career. If anything it will add fuel to it with the way Americans are infatuated with hypocrites and fallen angels. Vivid Entertainment Group, which specializes in adult films, made an offer of a million dollars to Prejean back in May to make a movie for them. Seems she might be a natural. This could only raise her value in the porn market. Practice makes perfect. I'm curious as to how all the rightwing Prejean backers will spin this and find a way to blame this on everyone but Prejean. I might even turn on Fox News to check it out. With Prejean's looks and attitude, she may end up with her own show over there since credibility isn't a factor in Fox's hiring practices. And for those of you who don’t remember who actually won the Miss California Pageant, her name is Tami Ferrell from Malibu. How soon we forget those with actual morals.

POPSPlanned Parenthood Indoctrinates High-Schools I wonder if our tax dollars (via stimulus money) is paying for these new jobs? Perhaps these are the jobs Obama was talking about creating. The text claims they will stress abstinence, but of course the lefties believe abstinence programs don't work, so I doubt there will be much emphasis on that in this indoctrination program.

POPSBabies are "disposable"...a punishment ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?? Barack Hussein Obama says he doesn't want his daughters "punished with a baby" as a result of a "mistake" and uses this rationale to promote teaching his daughters and the young girls in elementary schools around the USA about condoms, birth control, and the whole Planned Barrenhood child sex advocate curriculum. That's what Planned Barrenhood and Obama and the public school system truly are - CHILD SEX ADVOCATES

POPSAP NewsBreak: Swiss defend Polanski tipoff to US According to the e-mails, the Swiss ministry sent an urgent fax to the U.S. Office of International Affairs on Sept. 22 stating Polanski was traveling to Zurich. The director was to be feted at a film festival, and Swiss officials wanted to know if the U.S. would be submitting a request for his arrest as he was the subject of an international law enforcement "Red Notice." "The Americans immediately confirmed that was the case," Galli said. As a result, Switzerland was required by treaty to apprehend Polanski, he said.

POPSSalman Rushdie should have got a prostitute' Last week, in her first interview since the split, a furious Pia accused Rushdie of being ‘cowardly, dysfunctional and immature’. Far from her being the one who made all the running in the relationship, it was Rushdie who pursued her for more than a year, she insisted. But once they had become lovers, she claimed, the great novelist showed little real interest in her, apart from sex and parading her around in public as a trophy girlfriend. She says he was also obsessed with his fourth wife, the beautiful Indian-American model and TV presenter Padma Lakshmi – and would begin the day by putting his own name into Google, the internet search engine, to see what had been written about him. Self obsessed little bollocks!

POPSJudgment Day While Mr. Letterman's consensual sexual relationships may not fit the moral values of the monogamous society we live in, extortion is a crime. The more interesting question to me is why he felt he had to make a public admission to private matters.

POPSJudge to Prop. 8 backers: Hand over your papers More: Although "voters cannot be asked to explain their votes," Walker said, a ballot measure's authors and strategists can be scrutinized to see what their motives were. He cited a magazine article last year by the heads of the public relations firm that managed the Prop. 8 campaign in which they discussed their strategy, including plans to show how advocates of same-sex marriage would indoctrinate schoolchildren. Walker said the article undermined the campaign's insistence that its strategy discussions were confidential.

POPSFugitives from justice don't get to dictate the terms of their case
More: Documentarians should have a wide leeway to argue their case the way they want, but there's a point at which ethical lines are crossed. Zenovich…seems to have been blinded by her contact with Polanski. Here's an example: The word "sodomy" is briefly referenced in Zenovich's documentary, but it's a somewhat ambiguous term, and it's never explained. Zenovich has fun flashing bits of the victim's grand jury testimony on the screen, but she never gets around to using this exchange from that testimony, which was made public in 2003 and published by the Smoking Gun: "Then he lifted up my legs and went in through my anus." "What do you mean by that? "He put his penis in my butt." …she also said that she had repeatedly told Polanski no, but that she was too afraid of him to resist. It's a drag to include a scene of anal rape of a 13-year-old in your moody documentary about such a Byronic figure, but it's also fairly relevant.

POPSFour things about the Hofstra rape/recant story More: 4) Honestly, this case just makes me so sad. I think it's highly likely that something bad happened that night, whether or not she literally consented. It's hard to imagine something like this happening if all the parties had engaged in direct sexual communication and sought enthusiastic, affirmative consent - not just lack of protest. For me, this whole mess just demonstrates how badly we need a real sea-change in how we talk about and view sex in our culture. Here's where a conclusion should go, but this column has none. Because this case has none. And this crisis has none. At least none so far. But we're working on it. Right?

POPSThe Authoritarian Personality: Fear of Change Look At It This Way There is no doubt that the concept of an Authoritarian Personality very accurately describes a very real personality type. But what's truly amazing is that although social scientists have been aware of this set of character traits for half a century, the general public remains almost totally unaware of the mental makeup that governs the thoughts and behaviors of a third of their friends and neighbors.

If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do. And, ALWAYS REMEMBER: if you didn’t ask permission and then respect the answer the first time, you are commiting a crime- no matter how “into it” others appear to be.

POPSMeet Phillip Craig Garrido [UPDATED] CNN reports that Garrido has been charged with "kidnapping, rape, lewd behavior, sexual penetration and conspiracy." Nancy Garrido faces charges of "kidnapping and conspiracy." Public records show that Phillip Garrido was born in Contra Costa, CA on April 5, 1951. Carson City, Nevada records indicate a marriage between Garrido and Christine Perreira in March, 1973. The marriage lasted just 7 years, and the couple's divorce was final in October, 1980. It may be remarkable that the union lasted that long, for in 1977, Phillip Garrido was convicted of kidnapping a woman on November 23, 1976. From the Reno Evening Gazette, February 12, 1977: Garrido was convicted of abducting the woman at a South Lake Tahoe grocery store parking lot then driving her to Reno, where she was kept for several hours in a mini-warehouse. faces Washoe County charges of possession of a controlled substance, rape and sex perversion. Garrido was 25 and working as a musician

POPSWhy won't opponents of same-sex marriage make predictions on the record? More: You would think they would react like Albert Pujols when presented with a hanging curveball. Yet none was prepared to forecast what would happen in same-sex marriage states versus other states. Maggie Gallagher, president of the Virginia-based Institute for Marriage and Public Policy, has declared that losing this battle "means losing American civilization." But she politely declined my invitation. Stanley Kurtz, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, has been equally dire… When it came time to offer more specific predictions, Kurtz was missing in action. I e-mailed him twice and left a message on his office voicemail. After two weeks, I'm beginning to lose hope. The only person willing to talk was David Blankenhorn, president of the Institute for American Values…When I talked with him, though, he declined to predict what tangible bad things will occur in same-sex marriage states.
