POPSMedia Bias in Career Articles Yahoo published the article, "Blue Collar Jobs in High Demand." The article itself is half-truths and a whole lot of rose colored glass bs. It is the 150 comments that I clipped. Real people, ALL over the country, telling their story. Don't believe in the recovery hype, this is just the beginning and now may be looked back at fondly.

POPSSET | How the Fed gov increases health care costs due to policy changes
The Obama Administration and the President, himself, underscore the need to accomplish health care reform due to the escalating costs of care, but many government policies contribute significantly to those costs. This story illustrates the point. Cutting costs and improving access for millions of Americans now without health insurance are major aims of President Barack Obama's efforts to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system but the legislation is stalled in Congress. "It's incredibly complicated," said Dr. Micah Hemani, a bladder cancer expert at the New York University Langone Medical Center, who studied changes in treatment patterns in his group practice before and after the pay hike. ___ SOURCE | http://reuters.twi.bz/R ___ SEARCH | http://google.twi.bz/gx ___ SET | SENIOR TIME | My iWEB Blogs | http://me.twi.bz/q ALTACITIES | http://altacities.com | http://me.twi.bz/X Help us reach 1,234 subscribers by 5:06 pm (7 sec) on 8-9-10 Matching the numerical sequence 12345

POPSSOTU Address Notches 4th Lowest Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Score Since FDR -- 'Professor' Obama? 
However, a Smart Politics analysis of nearly 70 oral State of the Union Addresses since the mid-1930s finds the text of Obama's speech on Wednesday evening to have one of the lowest scores on the Flesch-Kincaid readability test ever recorded by a U.S. President. The Flesch-Kincaid test is designed to assess the readability level of written text, with a formula that translates the score to a U.S. grade level. Longer sentences and sentences utilizing words with more syllables produce higher scores. Shorter sentences and sentences incorporating more monosyllabic words yield lower scores. Obama's Flesch-Kincaid grade level score of 8.8 for his first State of the Union Address was the fourth lowest score since FDR's first Address in 1934. What this means is that Obama wrote and delivered a speech that incorporated shorter sentences, with those sentences containing shorter words, than nearly every such Presidential Address in the modern era.

POPSLech Walesa: ‘America Is Moving Toward Socialism’ Lech Walesa Agrees America Is Moving Toward Socialism If there is any man on earth who knows what socialism is, it is Lech Walesa On Friday, January 29th, 2010, Lech Walesa, former President of Poland, traveled to Chicago to endorse Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate, Adam Andrzejewski. We were fortunate enough to have an opportunity to sit down with the President and Mr. Andrzejewski. Our video from that visit is below. Items that stand out: 1) Lech Walesa tells his American Audience that the United States no longer leads the world politically or morally 2) At least one of your Founding Bloggers asks President Walesa if he thinks America is slipping toward Socialism. His Answer? Yes! 3) Andrzejewski is running on a platform of forensically auditing Illinois’ books and exposing corruption by making the details of the audit available to the public.

POPSLexington And Concord Revisited - The Brown Upset and What It Means You can expect to see this president trash talking quite outrageously when it comes to this years' State of the Union speech, due out January 27th. I could almost write a critique of the coming speech in advance. Obama will blame George W. Bush, of course. That tired tune still resonates with the true believers although recent numbers suggest that it isn't anything like the hit song it was a year ago. He will blame 'obstructionists' the Republicans and 'the old politics as usual' for his mishaps. And expect him to do the class war dance, blaming 'the banks', 'Wall Street' 'big insurers' and 'the special interests' for everything he can't lay at Bush's feet. I wouldn't even be surprised to hear him make a call for fiscal responsibility...after he and the Democrats quadrupled the nation's debt like an out-of control teen at the mall armed with daddy's credit card.

POPSRasmussen: Americans Not Buying What Obama Was Selling At SOTU On the spending freeze: Regarding another initiative detailed in the speech on Wednesday night, just nine percent (9%) of voters believe the president’s proposed freeze on discretionary spending will have a big impact on the deficit. (http://bit.ly/9w6CTH) The numbers get worse why party affiliation is taken into account. On all questions, only Democrats believe what Obama was selling and even then by small margins. The majority of Republicans and Independents simply were not buying any of it. The only silver lining for Obama is that Democrats opinion of Obama increased after the State of the Union address. There was no change for Republicans and Independents. The problem for Obama is that he is using very old Chicago style politics in a very new political era. Many voters on the right and in the middle have become much more active. They are now following political news much more closely than before.

POPSObama Needs “Stupid Ideas” Czar "Consider the ages of these Congressional stalwarts:" "Robert Byrd (93) Diane Feinstein (79) John McCain (73) Nancy Pelosi (70) Barbara Boxer (70) Harry Reid (70) John Kerry (67)" "Yes, I know that John McCain is a Republican. But folks the man is more liberal than some communists, and he is just too old to be trusted with the awesome power granted to a US Senator."

POPSEducation Secretary Duncan’s new reform proposal: Hurricanes! Martin was quoted as saying: “What’s amazing is New Orleans was devastated because of Hurricane Katrina, but because everything was wiped out, in essence, you are building from ground zero to change the dynamics of education in that city.” Duncan was quoted as replying: “It’s a fascinating one. I spent a lot of time in New Orleans, and this is a tough thing to say, but let me be really honest. I think the best thing that happened to the education system in New Orleans was Hurricane Katrina. Gee, if only the rotten Chicago schools that Duncan left behind could have such “good” fortune, eh?

POPSRepublicans Eye High-Profile US Senate Races The Senate hopefuls are chasing a position that has already come to national attention: in 2008, Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois, allegedly tried to sell the seat . He was subsequently impeached and is due to stand trial for corruption in June. The ensuing brouhaha is one reason the Democrats may lose in Illinois, where no Republicans hold statewide office. The state’s unemployment level is also well above the national average. Moreover, the financial woes that have hit many US states are acute in Illinois, whose budget crisis is second only to California. The Democratic field is more fragmented. Alexi Giannoulias, the state’s 33-year-old treasurer, leads in the polls. A basketball buddy and protégé of Mr Obama, Mr Giannoulias has tied himself closely to the president, whom he mentions frequently in speeches. continued below .....

POPSYour Identity Theft Nightmare ....this front man for a pack of Chicago gangsters and con artists is going to stand up in front of the nation Wednesday night and propose a 3-year freeze on discretionary spending. He's not going to reduce the deficit spending (hovering around $200,000,000,000.00 per month). He just wants to freeze it at the current level. Imagine your worst identity theft nightmare. Imagine that East side crack whores have stolen your I.D. and your Visa and Mastercard. They know your ATM and bank account passwords, and they are running wild through every mall in the DFW Metroplex. You know they're doing it, and the police know they're doing it. The police come back to you, and say that the crack whores have agreed to keep their spending at a certain ridiculous level, and that you should be pleased by their heroic self-sacrifice. Feel better? I didn't think so. Posted by The Whited Sepulchre Your Identity Theft Nightmare at http://bit.ly/d0v7zh

POPSUSA High Speed Rail Gets a Fast Track
This clip quotes folks from California, but other articles from other states. It's really fantastic. Obviously good for jobs. But also a very valuable and efficient mode of transportation almost so far ignored in our country. Get a train pass to travel through Europe to appreciate the difference. We should be able to do it even better. For pic of the now designated and funded high-speed corridors, see: http://thetransportpolitic.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/picture-13.png (I live near a great, long rail lines...one of the gray lines on the map, above, from Chicago to LA; great, relaxing, inexpensive; some nice side routes into the mountains and one pulls right up to a restaurant at the Grand Canyon). To some, they see President Obama like Moses bringing down some ideas they don't want, too busy #$#%ing around, worshiping idols, bearing false witness: pissed Moses off. But here we see real positive action. Change is happening. And it's coming on a fast track. Of cou
