POPSAbortion Bait and Switch I knew this was a smoke-and-mirrors trick on the part of the Democrats. Now "pro-life" Democrats can tell their constituents "I voted to take abortion out, it was the pesky Senate that put it back in." What a crock!

POPSOne of The Biggest Bait-And-Switch Acts in History I'm thinking it's time to pronounce Obama and his agenda precisely what they are - socialist and looking to bring down the last great remaining free capitalist system in the world so as to bring it in line with too much else of a statist world. What else can one call it with any degree of honesty? Certainly liberal no longer serves. The Left abandoned classic liberalism a decade ago. And the New Left has only gotten worse. It's time to draw the battle lines more clearly, start speaking of what freedom, capitalism, individualism and self-determinism actually are and explain to people how they won't be much of anything in some new Obama-designed state. It's time to forget about compromise and begin rejecting Obama and his grand plans completely as he and they deserve for being un-American in the most important meanings of the word. Obama sold his healthcare proposal as a way to reduce costs and help the economy. But, Pawlenty says,

POPSStriped Bass Fishing So when you first start fishing, fish shallow water and as the sun gets higher you move into deeper water. If the water is murky, the bass are more likely to stay in the shallow water and feed.

POPSFun Fishing With Kids I have to confess I am not much of a fisherman. I tried to do this with my kids because, like most kids, the idea of fishing sound very exciting. My dad never fish with me and I guess I wasn't very successful in passing down the craft. Here's something for you if you are into this pastime.

POPSObama and Racism: Head in the Sand? The political reality is that Obama and his advisers must know that racial tension and the absence of national leadership fostering a national discussion of race issues in our country is the Sword of Damocles dangling over this presidency. If the mere act of a reporter like Maureen Dowd reconsidering her ideas and coming forward with an indictment can cause a media frenzy, how much more so the first African American president? It will be worth it. Long after medical care has changed to the point that this era looks like bloodletting and leaches, long after the US economy has shifted and adapted, gone through reforms and reboots, this administration and this president will be remember for one thing above all else: Obama will forever be either the man who healed this septic wound that runs across the back of this nation, or the man who turned away from the mirror to solve more "practical" issues.

POPSAcorn Pimp Sting, Child Prostitution and Accountability When I heard about this story I checked HuffPo and Truth Dig: nothing. Checked again the next day, still nothing. WTF is up with all of this silence? From page 20 of the transcript: the conversation is about 15 year old girls from El Salvador James: What if they are going to be making money because they are performing tricks too. Tonya (ACORN): but if they making money you shouldn't be letting anybody know anyway. Wow. Disgusting. Horrible. Unconscionable. I am absolutely stunned by that exchange. I have worked at community organizations and I never met anyone like this Tonya. GRRRRR.....

POPSArguing With a Sign Post "I didn’t realize this until today, when I received a long post trying to bait me into an argument. It was filled with inaccuracies, incendiary language, narrowmindedness, and plenty enough to make me alternate between “WTF?” and outright laughter. I started to fire back a response and kick them off my forum, but then simply decided not to give them a voice here. There would be no point in trying to change their minds anyway and the message was far too hostile to hope to find common ground, so I let it go and didn’t respond or approve the comment. Then I noticed something in the daily blog stats. One particular visitor had spent 45 minutes on a single post and its response. Guess who. They spent 45 minutes of their life on me today, 45 minutes they’ll never get back, to try to prove a point that I’m not inclined to argue. There are so many other places, certainly, that they could have spent those 45 minutes of their lives.

POPSGiant Sea Worm Terrorizes Aquarium
As in all good horror films, Barry went about all that bloodcurdling business in the shadows to begin with, stealthily stalking the victims. Unobserved by the all staff cast at Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium, the four-foot long sea worm attacked and mutilated coral reefs and apparently maimed a prize Tang fish in the tank he had infiltrated. When alarm bells about an intruder started ringing among the workers, the cunning critter devoured not only the bait but also the hooks on traps that had been set overnight. Barry even bit through a 20-pound fishing line, before eventually being lured out with fish scraps in a gripping climax, as the aquarium display was dismantled rock by rock. Thought to be a tropical polychaete worm, Barry is a real life sea monster, armed with sharp, powerful jaws that can slice prey in two, and covered with thousands of bristles purportedly capable of numbing a human with their sting. When in predatory mode, these omnivorous creatures will bury their long bodie

POPSTax-Feeders and Manufactured “Crimes” " Police in Austin, Texas recently sprang a trap of that kind on Mark Douglas Ledford and his girlfriend, Asia Ward. Austin’s “Finest” parked a green Honda Accord near Ledford’s home. Curious, Ledford consulted with his neighbors in the hope of identifying an owner; then he reported the vehicle to the police. A pair of officers paid a brief visit to the neighborhood and spoke briefly with Ledford. “I told them, `Isn’t it strange that someone parked their car there with the windows down and the keys in it?’” he recalled. The police replied that there was no problem, since the car was parked legally, and then left."

POPSOne Little Star Fish For Health Care Reform
I just wrote to President Obama concerning the public option or lack thereof. I am so disappointed that this might be a possibility, especially after I have been breaking my neck trying to support the Health Care Reform Bill with a Public Option inclusion. I went for the Dem's bait of giving a dollar a day contribution to show the naysayers that we are united in this cause. It appears nothing is working for us pro-health care reformers and the teabagger/townhallers and the insurance lobbies are winning. Even Pres. Obama is caving on his promise to get it passed during his day in the sun. Did I say I was disappointed? That's an understatement. What I am feeling right now is total DISGUST. Below my letter to the Pres. (that and a $1. will get me a cup of coffee - only with a senior discount.) if you care to read my (one little star fish self) clamoring to no avail on this health care reform issue.

This liberal bear-bait woman probably thought that we need to understand muslim terrorist swine, and that only George W Bush and Chaney were evil. Oh well, she wanted to feed the bears, and she did!

POPSThe Role of the Mexican Military in the Cartel War The subtext here is simple: the Mexican military is just one more cartel in the cartel war. Another subtext is that U.S. drug czar Gil Kerlikowske wants the US and Mexico to focus on so-called prevention and treatment, etc etc. This is quite politically correct but it means even more interference in Mexican society than before: people will be sent to reeducation camps instead of to jail, etc etc. Therefore, the bait and switch is still on: the war on drugs is destroying Mexican society far more than the drugs ever could or would. The next step, if U.S. drug czar Gil Kerlikowske has his way, is for it to begin destroying individual autonomy...

POPSWhat's the Hurry on Health Care? My apologies to wonderful car salesmen...I mean you no disrespect. But these guys in D.C. are disrespecting you. And us. Foisting on us the biggest lemon in history, and insisting that if we sign fast, we won't even notice. Again, take it from a guy who's been rushed and made to look stupid: Sharks don't let you wait. They attack. And attack fast. And we're all easy bait. But I hope not stupid bait. Because we must be seeing the warning signs. And enough of us must be asking the right questions. Because, the more the signs, the more the questions, the more they say, calm down, all is good, just sign here. Which has me saying, hey, stick this whole thing...here. Didn't we just do this? Last fall? When Hank Paulson said just sign-sign-sign this rescue deal? And it wasn't such a deal? Have we forgotten the quick bailouts that themselves needed bailing out? Have we learned nothing from rushing space launches when we shouldn't have?
