POPSOne last Bill for workers, to be VETOED by Bush.
Right to the end, with economy going down the old flusher and many breadwinners out of work, to begin a long tedious quest to keep their families from homelessness and starvation; Bush and cronies at the helm, (but with a countdown) still waging the battle to keep hard working Americans from their civil rights. What the...? I had heard about Ledbetter vs. Goodyear when John McCain didn't even bother to show up for the vote, which helped it to fail in the Senate. One thing for sure, if the McCain (ugh) Palin ticket would have won... This would be a non-issue and what is even more frightening... McCain would have stacked the court with one or two more judges who most certainly would have been against WE THE PEOPLE... http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/04/23/republicans-kill-fair-pay-bill.aspx Will the hits on the average American worker ever end? I can answer that one... (it's a NO-BRAINER...) NO, Not if the Republicans have anything to do with it!

POPSTNR's Scott Thomas Beauchamp Like Ward Churchill's 'conscientious objectors'...who Churchill said should frag their officers. This guy claimed a lot of ridiculous things, which have been pretty much debunked already; like chasing dogs in a Bradley. A Bradley isn't stealth enough to chase a dog. It's too loud, it doesn't turn on a dime, and visibility is limited because the hatch is on the left...not very bright. But propaganda works...like Lenin said, A lie told often enough becomes truth.

POPSWhy we curse-What the @#$%? In English-speaking countries today, religious swearing barely raises an eyebrow. Gone with the wind are the days when people could be titillated by a character in a movie saying "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."...

POPSDidn't Republicans JUST Say We Shouldn't Ban Bonuses...2 Weeks Ago? And a few more FTA: "I really don't want the government to take over these businesses and start telling them everything about what they can do." Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told ABC News in February, when asked about Obama's proposed limits on executive compensation. Senator Jim DeMint, who attacked the original bailout bill as "pure socialism," characterized executive pay caps as a dangerous government intervention.

POPSShould Health Insurance Benefits be Taxed? It's a rare occasion when the Heritage Foundation agrees on tax policy with The New Republic, but that's what's happening in the current debate over whether or not to tax health insurance benefits. I've clipped the related blog entry from the Heritage Foundation explaining why this is a truly bipartisan opportunity to reform health care. Here is the link to Jon Cohn's very similar argument at TNR: http://tinyurl.com/crokz5. You'll notice they have different ideas about what should be done with the income from new taxes. What do you think?

POPSAHIP Declares War On the U.S. Read the article and then DO SOMETHING! Following are a couple more paragraphs to whet your curiosity. "For many years America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) have been fighting an undeclared war on US citizens. According to the Harvard Study cited recently by Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), lack of health insurance and denials of legitimate claims kill more Americans each month than died in the attacks on the World Trade Center. When Al-Qaeda or Nazi Germany declared war on the United States, their intent was to kill US citizens and to cause economic collapse in the United States. That’s how a modern war works. The study released by PWC and commissioned by AHIP reveals the arsenal the Health Insurance companies plan to use in the coming war. They are going to kill Americans by putting the price of health care out of reach. They are planning to kill their paying customers by finding new ways to deny care."
