POPSVanity Fair: Sarah Palin Is Winning Ron Paul is a nut. I don’t know if that needs repeating, but it feels like it. When asked about Palin, he said her supporters are “more establishment, conventional Country-Club type of Republicans.” Yeah, that’s the problem with Palin: Too elitist. She’s always flying around in her fancy helicopter shooting wolves with her brand name rifles because she just feels she’s too good to walk around the ground throwing rocks at them like Ron Paul salt of the earth types. I bet her supporters have to use brand name Reynolds Wrap to make their hats instead of just buying the store brand tin foil even though both block out government mind control signals just the same. I kid, but Ron Paul does have a long career ahead of him… dancing on the street corner for nickels.

POPSSo why is it dangerous now? When it wasn't dangerous just last year? First it was Bush in July published by Vanity Fair no less. Then it was Palin in September. But there is no outrage until someone does the same to Obama when it suddenly becomes dangerous and racist.

POPSBush As The Joker Obama’s predecessor endured 8 Years of Assassination Fascination. Actually, the “Assassinate Bush Chic” began even before the 2000 election, when Craig Kilborn flashed “snipers wanted” under a picture of Bush. So-called “newsmen” like Keith Olbermann repeatedly called the president “a fascist” and “a terrorist.” And Obama supporters can’t handle The Joker and the word “Socialism”? Politics is ugly, and it is often over-the-top but that’s not new. Photoshop happens; it’s a free country. I myself have been photoshopped next to a dancing condom, a commentary on my annoying habit of being a Catholic. Bob Owens amuses himself thusly: Frankly, I don’t get it. One embraces terrorists and madmen, is dedicated to anarchy and the destruction of capitalist society, and sends the population fleeing in horror from his creations. The other is a fictional character played by the late Heath Ledger. http://michellemalkin.com/2009/08/04/how-quickly-they-forget/

POPSObama Joker Poster Starts Outrage... I know there have been political cartoons since there have been politicians. I don't like any of this...and it gets uglier and uglier. I think it reflects badly on our society and demeans us as a Country...no matter who is President. Pres. Bush endured 8 long years of this kind of stuff as is Sarah Palin. If I don't approve or condone it for them; well, I guess I can't for Mr. Obama either. It's just gross and vile.

POPSIt Came from Wasilla More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of “narcissistic personality disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders —“a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy”—and thought it fit her perfectly.

POPS Bernie Madoff: What His Secretary Saw a few thousand. You get comfortable with that, and before you know it, it snowballs into something big.” Bernie’s personality • The way Madoff handled stress was “by saying something nasty: You look terrible. You’re gaining weight. You’re stupid. I never took anything he said to me personally, because I knew it wasn’t about me, it was about him.” • Madoff’s behavior changed drastically in the weeks before his arrest. “He seems to be in a coma,” Squillari told people who walked by his office and saw him staring off into space. He began taking his blood-pressure every 15 minutes, refused to look at his mail, and was constantly meeting with the heads of his feeder funds and Frank DiPascali, “the go-to guy for the investment-advisory business” (the vehicle for Madoff’s Ponzi scheme).

POPSVanity Fair: Jolie is most Beautiful Gee, we must have no substance anymore. Or we do, but we do not dare to vote for any less then, Angelina Jolie, the most beautiful person all over the world. She does good deeds and the ambassadors to the UN. Hold on a moment, I would like to see, Madonna, even though she is a bit flawed, but isn't she beautiful too? She does good too, in her own quiet ways. She donated money to the Italian earthquake recently. I am weary when Jolie was voted before for the most beautiful person in the past. Who would you think deserve to be on the list of beautiful people and are not on the list of beautiful people? Sorry, you and I are not celebrities, therefore we are not of the running.

POPSViewing Journalism as a Work of Art Photography gives the impression of something that is easy to do by mere virtue of its speed. But some images take a long time to capture, especially if you've scouted them.

POPSThe Roots of Leftist Disdain - Emptiness "Achieving success in his first job out of college, as a radio announcer in Des Moines, Reagan made a number of local speaking engagements, "giving talks to fraternal lodges, boys' clubs and the like, telling sports stories and deriving from them Y.M.C.A. sorts of morals." We see here all the basic elements, employed for the past 28 years, of liberal condescension. Every issue of the New Yorker, Vanity Fair, or Rolling Stone makes clear that the policy positions of George W. Bush, Republicans, and conservatives in general are wicked and stupid. The real problem, however, is that everything about these people"where they reside, what they believe, how they live, work, recreate, talk, and think"is in irredeemably bad taste. To embark on a conversation with one of them, based on straight-faced openness to the possibility of learning something interesting or important, would be like choosing to vacation in Wichita instead of Tuscany."

POPSUN Backed Shariah Desperately Seeking Obsequiousness
The draft also calls "on states to develop, and where appropriate to incorporate, permissible limitations on the exercise of the right to freedom of expression into national legislation." Yes, you read that right. The transparent purpose is to criminalize all criticism of Islam, a.k.a. "Islamophobia." There is also a not-so-sly effort to extract reparations for the long-banned trans-Atlantic slave trade: States that "have not yet condemned, apologized and paid reparations" for the trade are urged "to do so at the earliest." The Obama Administration knows all of this. In its press release, the State Department stressed that its intent in sending a delegation to Geneva is "to try to change the direction in which the Review Conference is heading." State also adds that its involvement "does not indicate -- and should not be misconstrued to indicate -- that the United States will participate" in the formal conference.

POPSBYE BYE BUSH more about Family of Secrets: "Russ Baker has the three most important attributes of any great investigative reporter: He is skeptical, he is fearless, and he is indefatigable. Whenever he examines anything-including the most allegedly well covered topics-he breaks important new ground." -David Margolick, author and contributing editor, Vanity Fair. "

POPSMark Felt - AKA 'Deep Throat' - Dies The right called him a traitor and the left thought he should talked to the feds, instead of exposing Nixon to the Washington Post . Whatever you think of his methods, they worked. We didn't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.
