POPSMYG | GOP snubbed on HC reform, surprised? Has anything really changed since the start of this process? Frankly, Democrats have been drafting and passing this legislation in a largely partisan process from the start. We should not be surprised at all. They won the 2009 elections and now they are riding that horse for as long and as hard as they can. Republicans would do the same if they had the opportunity. that's Washington! The 2010 elections will probably serve to correct the imbalance in the political system and send us back to Washington political gridlock and they may not be so bad. ___ http://google.twi.bz/gv ___ http://altacities.com

POPSIs this Obama's most dangerous screw-up yet?
"To you and me this may not seem like a big deal. But I’m told this is hugely significant and shows just how out of touch the Obama administration is with the intelligence community. I’m told that no other President has issued such blanket statements of public mourning directed toward an attack on the CIA and thereby having the White House itself confirming an attack on our intelligence community. The intelligence community is licking its wounds right now and Obama’s rush to confirm for the world that the community suffered such wounds has the intelligence community simmering tonight and Al Qaeda preparing a PR blitz with what they view as good news. UPDATED: Take the information above and couple it with this. The White House is subtly blaming the intelligence community for the failure to deduce the Delta/Northwest attack." Why? Presidential aides are concerned that Obama will somehow be unfairly accused of dropping the ball on the fight against terrorist in Yemen

POPSand the Birthplace is:............................????? Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, claimed Obama was born in Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, a testimony reported as fact by several news sources and the myth-busting site Snopes.com. Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawaii But after WND drew attention to a letter from the president declaring as his birthplace the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu instead, news sources and websites jumped to scrub the Queens location and replace it with Kapi'olani. The Advertiser also reports Obama was born "at what at the time was known as the Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital." The White House, however, has thus far refused to verify which hospital the president claims as his birthplace or whether the letter – purportedly from President Obama claiming Kapi'olani – is, in fact, real.

POPSPolling Oxymoron It is not a polling oxymoron, it is hard wired within the American psyche. In essence, we are saying that we want peace but that we are not willing to lay down our arms,nukes,mercenaries and drones to accomplish it. We trust(and believe) Obomba when he says that it is too soon to withdraw. The fact that he is still in the White House after all he has failed to do so far, shows where we stand(kneel) on war(and domestic) issues. Namely, we worship John Wayne as opposed to MLK. BO preaches on the airwaves that this war is a "just war" and if we are not among those who swallow it hook, line and sinker, we are among those who either throw up their hands in resignation, those who haven't been informed, or those who thrive as status quo bootlickers.

POPSSmoking Like a Barbecue: WH Homeland Liason Brennan Asserts that the Homeland defense Worked "every other day," in 2009, Just Not on a Major Holiday Over Detroit. http://bit.ly/8xEHKg Abdul mutallab was smoking like a barbecue. Will this performance stand? Nah. The Homeland hearings are starting in January. Brennan will get scorched like Abdul mutallab. It is an election year. They are offering him as the barbecued goat. Enough? Nah. Pass the sauce. (And Brennan's swerve to run Dick Cheney into the ditch is a self-destructive ploy. The clock is running down on Brennan's public role. The resume must already be at Xe.)

POPSFarewell Oprah, I Suggest A Gift To Black America Before You Go
Without question, Oprah has done tremendous good, touching the lives of millions in a positive way. And for this I salute her. Because she has such a huge heart and compassion, Oprah tends to take the emotional liberal side of issues. However, though well intentioned, ignoring reality and human nature can be extremely destructive. A common theme on Oprah's show is everyone is a victim of somebody or something. All abusers are not the products of abuse. History proves some people are simply evil and some people are lazy losers. And why in almost 25 years of broadcasting have we not seen one conservative, "I am not a victim of white America" black guest on the Oprah show? This is a huge disservice to black America. We blacks, I am black, are blessed to be born in the greatest land of opportunity on the planet. And yet, liberal icons are still filling the heads of black youths that they are victims of a sexist, racist and homophobic America.

POPSObama's Make Believe Life Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual’s life. When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this man has spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden. We laugh at the ventriloquist’s dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of the United States of America?

POPSMushroom Tunnel: Unused Railroad Tunnel Mushroom Farm [PICS] Dr. Arrold has been growing mushrooms in the Mittagong railway tunnel for over 20 years, starting with ordinary soil-based white button mushrooms and Cremini, before switching to focus on higher maintenance exotics such as Shimeji, Wood-ear, Shiitake, and Oyster mushrooms. His mushrooms have evolved: they are species designed for architecture.

POPSObama gives International Police immunity from Constitution and Jurisdiction in US exempted Interpol from disclosure of archived document in response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by U.S. citizens. Think very carefully about what you just read: Obama has given an international law enforcement organization that is accountable to no other national authority the ability to operate as it pleases within our own borders, and he has freed it from the most basic measure of official transparency and accountability, the FOIA. giving Interpol free rein to act within this country could subject U.S. military, diplomatic, and intelligence personnel to the prospect of being taken into custody and hauled before the International Criminal Court as "war criminals."

POPSreview: Oasis Market & Restaurant, Oakland More: I've been in a few more times recently, and I still really like this place, but with some reservations. The biggest issue is the confusion behind the food counter; I don't know if it's a language issue, or just some new workers or both, but every time I've been in recently people seem to not be quite sure of what's going on, can't totally answer some simple questions, have made the wrong food, there have been long delays, forgotten items, things like that. So just pay close attention to your order when you go there for the meals, and bring your patience. There's also a little inconsistency; I've had great dolmas and kabobs there, but the last time I got each item they were both not quite right, the meat was tough and the dolmas were a little hard. The good: the falafels have been fantastic every time I've had them, the baba ganoush is the best that I've ever had, the pita is still pillowy and delicious…

POPSWe Still Have To Be Afraid, Heck of A Job, Barry Even before a Nigerian with Al Qaeda links tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet headed to Detroit, travelers could see we had made no progress toward a technologically wondrous Philip K. Dick universe. We seemed to still be behind the curve and reactive, patting down grannies and 5-year-olds, confiscating snow globes and lip glosses. Instead of modernity, we have airports where security is so retro that taking away pillows and blankies and bathroom breaks counts as a great leap forward. If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?

POPSBarack Obama Gets An ‘F’ for Protecting Americans In his studied desire to be the unBush by responding coolly to events like this, Obama is dangerously close to failing as a leader. Yes, it is good not to shoot from the hip and make broad assertions without the facts. But Obama took three days before speaking to the American people, emerging on Monday in between golf and tennis games in Hawaii to deliver a rather tepid address that significantly underplayed what happened. He described Abdulmutallab as an “isolated extremist” who “allegedly tried to ignite an explosive device on his body” " phrases that indicate a legalistic, downplaying approach that alarms rather than reassures. Today’s words showed a lot more fire and desire to get on top of things " we’ll see whether Obama follows through with action. In the meantime, he went snorkelling. There has been a pattern developing with the Obama administration trying to minimise terrorist attacks. We saw it with Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim convert who murdered

POPSIt's a wonderful life working for the government The policy aim, Democrats say, was to maintain public services and aid. The political aim, although Democrats don't say so, was to maintain public-sector jobs -- and the flow of union dues to the public employees unions that represent almost 40 percent of public-sector workers. Those unions in turn have contributed generously to Democrats. Services Employee International Union head Andy Stern, the most frequent nongovernment visitor to the Obama White House, has boasted that his union steered $60 million to Democrats in the 2008 cycle. The total union contribution to Democrats has been estimated at $400 million.

POPSRove: Champion of "traditional" divorce Actually, this is Rove's second divorce. His first wife was "Valerie Wainright, a wealthy Houston woman from the Bush social circle, but the marriage could not withstand his consuming preoccupation with politics." They divorced after three years of marriage. So the one that was just terminated was Rove's second "traditional marriage" to end without death doing them part. His next traditional marriage will be to his third wife. Did I mention that Rove believes it's vital that our secular laws enforce precepts of "traditional marriages" and bar everything else?

POPSKey Security Agencies Lack Permanent Leaders Former U.S. attorney Alan Bersin is nominated to run CBP, and former FBI agent and police detective Erroll Southers is the president's pick for TSA. On Christmas Day, alleged terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian who spent time in Yemen, was able to sneak an explosive device aboard his flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, only to be thwarted by the device's apparent failure to work as designed, and aggressive action by other passengers. Abdulmutallab was not on the government's terrorist watch list " though he was on a less sensitive and broader database. He was able to maintain a valid U.S. visa despite warnings about him to U.S. embassy officials in Nigeria from his father. Those facts are prompting a broad review of the government's terrorist detection efforts. "The United States will more than simply strengthen our defenses," Obama said Monday. "We will continue to use every element of our national power to disrupt, to dismantle and defeat the violent extremists

POPSObama Executive Order Cedes US Sovereignty, Citizen Rights to Interpol In 1972 the sitting Interpol President was Paul Dickopf, former Nazi SS officer (SS #337259). Photo of Dickopf on bottom of previous page. Nudge, nudge folks… This seems a minor change but let us break it out for you as we see it. Let’s look at the section from Executive Order 12425. Here’s the text of 2(c), which this Executive Order now has applying to Interpol: (c) Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable. This now says that Interpol is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Their premises or staff can no longer be searched either. Their files are not subject to legal subpoena or discovery. Our government could just hand documents and files over to Interpol and Americans would no longer have access to them. Interpol can legally keep
