POPSSupport David Letterman FireDavidLetterman.com is a group organized by Michael Leahy, Sarah Palin family spokesman, to have David Letterman fired for his jokes. They are not simply asking for a boycott; they are seeking to silence a man from the public airwaves for his words... they are advocating CENSORSHIP, which is un-American.

POPSDear David Letterman.... “At the end of the day, David Letterman’s show is David Letterman’s show, but as Jay Leno recently pointed out, by being overtly political either way, you alienate half of the country. As someone who has always been a fan of David Letterman, I have become more and more disappointed and yes, dare I say disgusted about his attitude toward Sarah Palin and her daughters. Is it too much to ask to leave a 14-year-old girl out of a late-night joke? Apparently in today’s media, yes it is, especially when it is the daughter of a Republican politician.” *** “Firing Mr. Letterman would send a clear message that CBS will not tolerate any of its employees — even an established media figure like Mr. Letterman — making demeaning and degrading comments about women.”

POPSLet's Break Down This Letterman/Palin Deal
That's right, Ann Dunham Soetoro was born on 11/29/42, she married Barack Obama, Sr. on 2/2/61, and their son was born on 8/4/61. So lil' Barry would've been conceived somewhere around his mom's 18th birthday, most likely before, with a man who was not her husband. And his parents' subsequent marriage wasn't even legal, because Barack Sr. was still married to a woman in Kenya. Ann was in the same situation then as Bristol is now, except the father hung around a little longer. And she didn't have a seething mob dogging her heels and then running back to their news networks and late-night talk shows. "It doesn't matter which Palin daughter got knocked up in that fictional scenario," you cry. "It's totally irrelevant to the joke!" Hey, don't tell me. Tell Willow Palin. She's the one who went to a baseball game with her mom and dad, and got slammed for it on national TV by a very wealthy and prominent older gentleman who has a history of problems dealing with women.

POPSLawmaker Wants Letterman Fired
Yeah, he made a joke. Alot of us thought he was talking about the "now 18 yrs old Bristol" getting knocked up by A Rod. Bristol is doing what 10's of thousands of young adults are doing, getting pregnant without benefit of having the father around. Where is the surprise that this joke was laid out there. Gov Palin is pushing this" young girl, raping young women" way too far. This is alot for just one joke Letterman made. In her quote on Letterman inviting the Gov and her husband, she said, "......... no intention of providing a rating's boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show,""Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman." They can't believe Americans are thinking Letterman would think of Wilow as an object of attention. I liked Palin, but she is going in the direction of Jerry Falwell with this DRAMA. Being an Independent in this country is the only way of being assured of not getting sucked into the extremists of both parties.

POPSComedian on 'Today' Show Trashes S. Palin.... No-name Nice gains an audience in the Media for his disgusting comments about Gov. Palin. Letterman...now *Mr. Nice*. Aren't we so proud of the denigration of conversation within our public forums? These pitiful people gain their publicity by their crude & disgusting remarks. Sadly the Media considers it newsworthy. How the mighty has fallen when it's *funny* to so grossly attack a female conservative.

POPSFinally, Some Late-Night Stability As NBC tests the waters with another (risky) hour of late-night fare (in prime-time) CBS is wise to hold on to its stable alternative. After a decade-plus at no. 2, the tiffany network's veteran host has a real shot at poaching former Leno viewers and winning the ratings war.

POPSNine things the internet has ruined forever The only thing I would disagree a bit with is the part about journalists. The journalist was already dying with big media corporations deciding what is news and what is not. They replaced real journalists by yes men and pretty mannequins who claimed to be reporters but are nothing more than glorified prompt readers. Bloggers and aggregators came out strong because there was a need for honesty and a need to express dissenting opinion within the populace. Clipmarks is successful because it combines both approaches.
