POPSIf you cannot speak Texan, gee outta town! Texas is not the only place with people in power embarrassing the town but this is pretty good - fining people for something that's not a crime. It says as much about those who trained and managed them and the courts in their jurisdictions as it does about the officers with misplaced sense of being word police. Question is what would happen if one of these officers got stopped in London - England, not Ohio; could they be cited for refusing to speak the Queen's English?

POPSNobel Tops 'SNL' for Obama Joke by Mark Steyn
What "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy" did he make in those first 12 days? Bowing to the Saudi king? Giving the British prime minister the Walmart discount box of "Twenty Classic Movies You've Seen A Thousand Times"? "Er, Barack, I've already seen these." "That's OK. They won't work in your DVD player anyway." For these and other "extraordinary efforts" in "cooperation between peoples", President Obama is now the fastest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in history. Alas, the extraordinary efforts of those first 12 days are already ancient history. Reflecting the new harmony of U.S.-world relations since the administration hit the "reset" button, The Times of London declared the award "preposterous," and Svenska Freds (the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society) called it "shameful." Why, only the other day, very conversationally, the administration floated the trial balloon that it could live with the Taliban returning to government in Afghanistan.

POPSSNL: Obama Accomplishes "Diddly-Squat" FRED ARMISEN AS BARACK OBAMA: There are those on the right who are angry. They think that I'm turning this great country into something that resembles the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, but that's just not the case. But when you look at my record it's very clear what I've done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it. As a checklist of his agenda items during the campaign appeared on the screen -- global warming, immigration reform, gays in the military, limits on executive powers, torture prosecutions, closing Gitmo, withdrawing from Iraq, improving the status of the fight in Afghanistan, healthcare reform, etc. -- Armisen accurately commented on how they weren't accomplished: So Far I've Accomplished Nothing! Nada! http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/10/04/snl-skewers-obama-so-far-ive-done-nothing-president

POPSGlenn Beck, anti-communist art critic? More: Fair enough. That’s cable television for you. On to a bigger question: Does Beck know what he’s talking about? Absolutely not, says Christopher Knight, an art critic (a real one) for the Los Angeles Times. Beck was as “nutty as usual,” Knight wrote: He pointed to a portrait of Lenin in Mexican master Diego Rivera’s destroyed Rockefeller lobby mural, “Man at the Crossroads,” but forgot to mention that old John D. had the mural removed because of it. (Facts are stubborn things — even more stubborn than demagoguery.) With comedy stylings like that, Beck is turning out to be the Harold Harby of our day. Who was Harold Harby? A Los Angeles city councilman in the early 1950s, Harby took up propaganda-arms with a paranoid group of right-wing loonies called the Society for Sanity in Art. They made it their patriotic duty to search out Communist symbols they just knew were hidden in that weird, postwar abstract art.

POPS Whitehouse FAIL!! with Steven Crowder & Zo (Zo and Crowder Victory Dance) by Steven Crowder Sometimes, us Conservatives need to pat ourselves on the back. In my case, it’s a very hairy one. Sure, Obama is slimy enough to re-phrase, re-package and re-slip the “Public Option” through… But the fact that he even has to do THAT is a testament to what the American people have done. Sit back and enjoy your victory lap folks! via big hollywood http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/scrowder/2009/08/20/whitehouse-fail-zo-and-crowder-victory-dance/

POPSThe NY Times Can’t Get Anything Right
It Was 40 Years Ago Today By Richard S. Chang On Aug. 8, 1969, less than one month after Neil Armstrong made one giant leap for mankind, the Beatles took a few steps outside the recording studio where they were working on their penultimate album and turned a quiet road into one of the most famous streets in London. The group spent 15 minutes to shoot the album cover "- an image that has been reproduced countless times since. From the BBC: The idea for the cover of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album was initially to call it Everest, after the favorite brand of cigarettes smoked by their engineer Geoff Emerik. Then the thought of doing a Himalayan cover helped kill the idea, and instead they considered doing shoot closer to home. “There’s a sketch Paul McCartney did with four little stick men crossing the Zebra,” says Brian Southall, author of the history of Abbey Road Studios. In the album photo, the Beatles appear to be walking across a quiet London street.

POPSReport: Bush mulled sending troops into Buffalo And who supported this daft idea? The usual suspects, of course! "According to the Times, Cheney and other Bush aides said an Oct. 23, 2001, Justice Department memo gave broad presidential authority that allowed Bush to use the domestic use of the military against al-Qaida if it was justified on the grounds of national security, rather than law enforcement. Among those arguing for the military use besides Cheney were his legal adviser David S. Addington and some senior Defense Department officials, the Times reported."
