POPSMcCain Passive/Aggressive on Race Make no mistake, referring to Obama as "different", "unknown" and "not trustworthy" is a direct appeal to the people of the deep south to atavistic racial fears. The issue of race in the south is convoluted and murky. In cosmopolitan centers, like Atlanta, it's hidden and insidious. Half an hour outside Atlanta it's blatant and expressed. McCain, when he deems it advantageous to do so, stokes these fears and hatreds repeatedly. I must say, John Lewis is my congressman. On this issue, he is spot on with his analysis.

POPSPoem - White Apples I really like this poem, it is a bit similar to one I just wrote without ever having read this one previous to its creation.

POPSMcCain has lost touch with reality The poor man doesn't know what is going on. That he and Palin feel they are able to launch any unsubstantiated attack without fear of contradiction (such is their arrogance) but are exempt from criticism. I used to deal with this behaviour on a daily basis when teaching 10 year olds.

POPSWords, words, words Time’s Karen Tumulty, who spotted racist goblins in the recent McCain ad criticizing Obama for seeking advice from Fannie Mae corruptocrat Franklin Raines. A parade of congressional witch hunters for Obama also detects the specter of George Wallace behind every policy bush. Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson says conservative criticism of Obama’s community organizing days is code for “black.” Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks complained to the New York Observer: “They are trying to throw out these codes.” In the same piece, Democratic Rep. Yvette Clark divined segregationist intent in Palin’s references to Joe Six-Pack and hockey moms. “It leaves a lot of people out.” And Democratic Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid echoed Time’s Tumulty on the McCain camp’s Obama/Raines broadsides: “The only connection that people could bring up about Raines and Barack Obama is that they both are African-American, other than that there is nothing.”

POPSObama, NcCain twist records Why don't we just hold the election today and be done with it? There is going to be nothing constructive from either of these two and only the media will benefit by collecting money to run their ads.

POPSBarney is shameless So now Republicans hate black people and poor people? You helped cause this mess- you and your boyfriends- and now you divert the blame by calling others racist and anti-poor? This guy needs to get ran out of town on a rail.

POPSNew Brunswick Veterinarians To Stop Cropping & Docking Good news for dogs! Too bad the breeders are so heartless and self-centered. vet: "People say it doesn't really hurt them, but they scream when you do it" :mad: Hopefully it will be illegal for anyone to crop or dock to discourage breeders from mutilating dogs, causing unnecessary pain and risking infection.

POPSObama Campaign Text Msg: Watch The Debate On CNN First, can you imagine the heartbreak at MSNBC? I mean, the Olbermann network has been trying so hard to be the Obama Network, and then to get this punch in the gut! :( Second, can you imagine what would have been the reaction if John McCain had texted his supporters, saying, "Watch Fox"? Well, the roof would have caved in, media-criticism-wise. :eek: Looks like the campaign figured out how to speak SMS short-hand and thus free up enough characters to type out "any of the major networks or cable" vs. "CNN." :)

POPSObama's Critics Are Targeted By Missouri Law Enforcement 
Even if the officeholders joining the "truth squad" are nominally stepping out of their official roles in order to put on their (political) party hats and play politics, it's inappropriate. They wield too much power to use it to wag their fingers at people who say un-nice things about political hopefuls. Prosecutors and sheriffs are, after all, normally thought of as people with the clout to put their targets behind bars. Somebody, please tell me that the station has it all wrong. By the way, if the report is accurate, it fits all too well with the legal threats the Democratic candidate's campaign is leveling against TV stations that run NRA ads critical of Barack Obama. John Lott, a noted economist and firearms scholar, has copies of the Obama campaign's cease-and-desist letters on his Website. He also defends the content of the ads (emphasizing the debatable nature of "misleading.") http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/09/obama-campaign-tries-to-get-nra-ads.html

POPSElectromagnetic relativity drive being built
They also said the article should never have been published. "It is well known that Roger Shawyer's 'electromagnetic relativity drive' violates the law of conservation of momentum, making it simply the latest in a long line of 'perpetuum mobiles' that have been proposed and disproved for centuries," wrote John Costella, an Australian physicist. "His analysis is rubbish and his 'drive' impossible." Shawyer stands by his theoretical work. His company, Satellite Propulsion Research (SPR), has constructed demonstration engines, which he says produce thrust using a tapering resonant cavity filled with microwaves. He is adamant that this is not a perpetual motion machine, and does not violate the law of conservation of momentum because different reference frames apply to the drive and the waves within it. Shawyer's big challenge, he says, has been getting people who will actually look into his claims rather than simply dismissing them. Such extravagant claims are usually associated with s

POPSConservative Columnist: Palin Should Drop Out
Her gender is blinding many to her incompetence. (Sexism blinds). The last comment clipped above is dead on the mark, and it takes a female conservative columnist to finally say "the Emperor has no clothes". Palin is absolutely "out of her league" and unfit for office. There is a growing list of conservatives (David Brooks, George Will, and David Frum) saying the same thing , and nothing could be more dangerous than to have an immature, teen sounding, novice and unpredictable VP candidate that could very well become President. The other thing is that the swell of columnists are finally taking the "inexperience" line because there is likely truth to the sourced story about her affair and the Trooper-gate allegation is being pursued by republicans in Alaska, both of which could torpedo the entire ticket if they break before Nov. 4th. Palin brings alot of baggage with her, and the McCain campaign has been distancing her from reporters and media for a reason.

POPSGodfather Fed Boss Bernanke Threatens Congress Essentially, "give us the money or else". The Fed is taking over, the Treasury and President are sycophants. The bosses are in charge and coercing Congress to fork over the taxpayers money for crooks that are responsible for their own trouble. DO NOT BAIL THEM OUT, LET THEM FALL. Their plan WILL NOT PREVENT FORECLOSURES for the government will become the Collector for debts and people who cannot pay, cannot pay. This will only bailout the Banksters! Time to call Bernanke's bluff. The Fed is not our dictator.
