POPSGorilla poses as prostitute: ACORN tells it to pose as illegal alien instead The "gorilla" responded in perfect English: "Do you take Visa or Mastercard?" "Yes, but not American Express, Diner's Club or personal checks," Riola told the undercover reporter. Digital video was obtained by ABSNN that showed the ACORN staffer pocketing a large wad of US currency, after counting it several times. She then proceeded to fill out the paperwork. "I'll sign it for you, since gorillas can't write, but that will cost an additional $395, monkey," she said. The Crockashit News Network reporter paid the additional money and asked for a receipt, but was denied one due to the fact that ACORN had no such item in stock. "You'll just have to trust us, sugar. Come back in two weeks for your money, less of course, our 58% fee. Now, get your monkey ass outta here,' Riola told the "gorilla."

POPSWho In Their Right Mind?! Gaddafi's Oddest Idea: Abolish Switzerland Relations between Libya and Switzerland soured in July 2008 when Gaddafi's son Hannibal and his wife were arrested by police in Geneva for allegedly beating their two servants at a local hotel. Gaddafi was so enraged by his son's two-day detention, he immediately retaliated by shutting down local subsidiaries of Swiss companies Nestlé and ABB in Libya, arresting two Swiss businessmen for supposed visa irregularities, canceling most commercial flights between the two countries and withdrawing about $5 billion from his Swiss bank accounts. Then came Gaddafi's suggestion that Switzerland be carved up like a wheel of Swiss cheese. During the G-8 summit in Italy in July, Gaddafi said Switzerland "is a world mafia and not a state," adding that the Italian-speaking part of the country should be returned to Italy, the German-speaking part given to Germany and the French-speaking part ceded to France.

POPSHow America turns a blind eye to apartheid in the Middle East
Nevertheless, some of the brightest signs of hope for the Middle East come from Israelis fighting for justice for Palestinians. Neve Gordon may be about to lose his job as chair of the Department of Politics and Government at Ben Gurion University, for his support for Palestinian rights. He wrote last week: “For more than 42 years, Israel has controlled the land between the Jordan Valley and the Mediterranean Sea. And there’s Ofra Ben-Artzi. Earlier this month, she was arrested in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem while going to comfort Palestinian friends, evicted to make way for Jewish families. She wrote: “I could see the ultra-Orthodox men and women, in their distinctive clothing, walking quietly along the road ... nor did the bars prevent me from seeing that Umm Kamel's tent, where she had been living since her own expulsion, was also gone. From the floor of the police car I saw what looked like a complete Judaisation of the neighbourhood. “We are walking

POPSThe Man Who Sold the War The fabrication might have ended there, the tale of another political refugee trying to scheme his way to a better life. But just because the story wasn't true didn't mean it couldn't be put to good use. Al-Haideri, in fact, was the product of a clandestine operation -- part espionage, part PR campaign -- that had been set up and funded by the CIA and the Pentagon for the express purpose of selling the world a war. And the man who had long been in charge of the marketing was a secretive and mysterious creature of the Washington establishment named John Rendon.

POPS“Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin” Perp, Busted Again “We’re not seeing a huge array of hackers capable of doing this, but rather a more select group, demonstrates that there is a level of sophistication involved in these hacks,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Erez Liebermann of the Justice Department’s New Jersey district office. But these are just the latest in a string of high-profile breaches that have been connected to Gonzalez. He and 10 others were charged in May and August 2008 with network intrusions into TJX, OfficeMax, Dave & Busters restaurant chain and other companies. Jury selection is slated to begin Sept. 14 in one of those cases. With regard to the Heartland-Hannaford cases, Gonzalez and the two unnamed Russian hackers have been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. They each face a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a possible maximum fine of $250,000 on the computer-fraud count and

POPSBarack Obama's half-brother George The man behind this is idea Martin Feldstein. Months ago Feldstein read about the plight of George Obama. "I wondered if it was a hoax, but it wasn't! Barack's got to be helping him out, right? But he's not. Not even a penny!" says Feldstein. The idea is to raise money to buy Obama's brother a nice apartment or house, a decent car, healthy food, and maybe an education since George never finished first-grade. 'And if he wants to, he can come to America, we'll help get him a visa too! We're sure there's plenty of spare rooms at the White House...Maybe the Lincoln bedroom!' George is an avid fan of America and once here has plans to write a book. The book, 'The Greatest Fighter Pilots of the Merican Civil War' will include a forward by President Obama's Grandmother Ethel.

POPSSaberi was a U.S. spy.
Revealed today, according to her own defense lawyers, is what she had done -- copy top secret government document. You may have heard news reports about this having to do with her buying a bottle of wine -- all lies. You may have hear news reports about her overstaying her visa -- all lies. You may get the impression that our country (the USA) doesn't have spies -- a rather naive idea. But it's good she got home. She deserves a medal. But we (the USA) should stop acting like pious hypocrites, which we do all the time, as if we, d'uh, don't have spies, d'uh, are not invading foreign countries, d'uh, we don't torture, d'uh, d'uh,d'uh. -- We got a lot of cleaning up to do and a lot of 'getting real,' in our own heads and stop warmongering like some dumb Disneyland Baby Huey. Daniel Pearl, btw, was probably also a spy. Being a 'journalist,' is a good spy cover story. I guess he should get a medal too.
