POPS About Last Night OK, some right reax. NRO: Obie misrepresents the Citizens United decision. It’s HotAir’s Obamateurism of the Day. Turns out the decision doesn’t give the farm away to foreign corporations. Hannity and Palin think it will be a “huge takeaway moment.” I dunno, I kinda doubt it. People have been letting him get away with misrepresenatations for a couple of years now. I think the huge takeaway is going to be the continued flailing and inability to accomplish anything. HotAir has AP’s 10 Whoppers and then adds the ones AP missed. Gateway lifts the rock on the SOTU job claims, finds “crony capitalism.” $100 m for 15 jobs and a Dem donor’s company. Sorry, I missed that when I was busy mocking all the public sector hack jobs he saved. Hyscience dozed off, but saw enough to rate an A on chutzpah and Fs on non-partisanship and substance. Gerson, WaPo, scathingly: President Obama’s primary problem is not rhetorical " though, about an hour into the State of The Union

POPSBy Hook or By Crook “Representing the people?” What a joke. That’s the last thing on earth the Democrat Socialists want to see happen, in this case or any other. Just another example of Corruptocrat swine grubbing for any way they can find to get their snouts into the trough. Forget elections; at this point, what we need to do is put some apples in their mouths and hold a good old-fashioned pig-pickin’.

POPSCongress's Secret Plan to Pass Obamacare
a health care bill, which will allow him to take extraordinary steps to get the bill on the Senate floor. During the mark-up last week, members had difficulty offering amendments and trying to make constructive changed because they lacked actual legislative text and Baucus made unilateral last minute changes. For example, the AP reported that "under pressure from fellow Democrats, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee decided to commit an additional $50 billion over a decade toward making insurance more affordable for working-class families." Step 2: Sen. Reid will take the final product of the Senate Finance Committee and merge it with the product of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, which passed on a party-line vote in July. Usually, a bill is voted out of committee, and then the Senate takes up the final product of the committee so that all 100 senators can have a hand in the process. With some help from the Obama administration .....

POPSIPCC Head Pachauri: It's All A Terrible Conspiracy What’s more, he hasn’t made a penny out of all the advice he gives to carbon trading businesses and such-like: As for pecuniary benefits from advice that I may be rendering to profit making organisations, these payments are all made directly to my institute, without a single penny being received by me. It’s the poor who stand to suffer most from any further delay on climate-change legislation says this deeply ascetic man: Delay in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases would only lead to worse impacts of climate change and growing hardship for the most vulnerable regions in the world, which are also unfortunately some of the poorest communities on earth. He is telling us all this because we need to be vigilant against the dark forces of denialism and scepticism which, like the Orcish hordes of Mordor, threaten in the coming year to trample all over The Shire and its peaceful, honest, vegetarian community of scientists .....

POPSgrowing the new branch of government 
At least the New York Times actually reported Holder's Congressional thumping. Pay ACORN, the defiant DOJ hack admonishes. Now DOJ has authority over Congress. Representatives Wolf and Smith have sent numerous requests to Holder asking for documentation of his Black Panther dismissal. Rep. Issa has demanded an explanation of Kevin Johnson's predatory sexual behaviors with underage Americorp students, not to mention his squandering of $400,000 on personal expenses like chauffeuring and dry cleaning. Jennifer Rubin's latest Weekly Standard report details the US Civil Rights Commission investigation into the Black Panther dismissal. Yup. You guessed it. No response from Holder or the DOJ. Finally, the White House czars have been reported in the alternative media, and given the obligatory nod in the msm. However, Breitbart's expose on the National Endowment for the Arts has been politely ignored. So expect to see those armies of taxpayer funded artists creating propaganda whene

POPSOpen independent public inquiry in 9/11! Until we will get clear answers for all questions about this catastrophe of historic significance the guilt for that will lie on all of us as tremendous burden, breaking progress and prosperity in society. Our life cannot be built on lies and games of crooks from behind the scene. This is our duty, each of us, to take possible participation in forming independent public body with all controlling mechanisms for full scale investigation and unlimited subpoena power. Our duty before our dead, cruelly and violently murdered. Our duty before our children and next generations to find the true now, in our lifetime, not swiping it under the rug for their uncertain future as sign of our cowardice.

POPS $6.4 Billion Stimulus Goes to Phantom Districts ..... Bill McMorris November 17 Many other recipients carried the banner for congressional districts that have been defunct for decades. South Carolina’s 7th took the cake, garnering more than $27 million in stimulus funds, despite being eliminated in 1930. The stimulus helped to create 35 congressional districts in Washington D.C. and the four American territories, all of which have no congressional districts. These areas received $5 of the $6.4 billion distributed to the non-existent districts. New Mexico Watchdog broke the story on Monday morning after finding that $26 million in stimulus money had been distributed to 13 congressional districts"ten more than the state actually has. Similar reports soon followed from New Hampshire, Kansas, Ohio, Minnesota and West Virginia. A reporter from the Montana Policy Institue confronted the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, which oversees the site, about these non-existent congressional districts on Monday afternoon.

POPSSponsored search results lead to malware If you're not sure, verify the URL. Microsoft and Google have large payrolls, but the search giants don't employ literal armies to review ad submissions. If you're at all suspicious of an ad's legitimacy, check the URL via a service such as hpHosts, which tracks domain names that researchers have reported as malicious. Help vendors by reporting malicious advertisers. To report bogus ads on Google, e-mail security at google.com. This is likely to be more effective than reporting the site via the search giant's online form. If you discover malware purveyors advertising in Bing's results, e-mail secure at microsoft.com.

POPSGood Labour parentalship
Preachers beware. Having listened to the sanctimonious rants from Madam Hewitt for all these years, and having hoped it was good riddance when she resigned... To all Labour supporters, if you cannot tell your friends, and I mean the lying, thieving shits who stole handsomely from the Public Purse whilst lesser mortals were being convicted of petty cash crimes and criminalised for not being able to afford decent advocacy, how can you moralise to a basically moral public. Your corrupt seedlings have really sprouted. Just look at what YOU, and I mean You Labour supporters, have fostered on decent British people. The list of criminal activity in your ranks reads – Mandelson, three times removed from office, Hazel Blears who cannot see corruption from her cell in Salford. Who is that woman whose husband is on trial for corruption in Italy? My memory cannot retain all these names of Labour crooks. I’d like to list the decent Labour MP’s but as the only one I know is resigning at the

POPSReport: ‘Death panels’ author worked with big tobacco to scuttle health reform Susie Madrak, in her blog at Crooks and Liars, cites key parts of the Rolling Stone article: W]hat has not been reported until now is that McCaughey’s writing was influenced by Phillip Morris, the world’s largest tobacco company, as part of a secret campaign to scuttle Clinton’s health care reform. (The measure would have been funded by a huge increase in tobacco taxes.) In an internal company memo from March 1994, the tobacco giant detailed its strategy to derail Hillarycare through an alliance with conservative think tanks, front groups and media outlets. Integral to the company’s strategy, the memo observed, was an effort to “work on the development of favorable pieces” with “friendly contacts in the media.” The memo, prepared by a Phillip Morris executive, mentions only one author by name:

POPS14 Things You Need to Know About Obama Heckler, Rep. Joe Wilson 2. Wilson is a member of the organization, Sons of Confederate Veterans, reports Dave Niewert of Crooks and Liars, which "as the Southern Poverty Law Center has detailed assiduously, has been taken over in the past decade by radical neo-Confederates who favor secession and defend slavery as a benign institution." (Not that Wilson's affiliation has anything to do with his unprecedented heckling, during a presidential address before a joint session of Congress, of our first African-American president.) 3. Wilson served as an aide to the late segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond, who is credited with conducting the longest filibuster in Senate history -- against the 1957 civil rights bill.

POPSTea Party Bus Sponsor's Negligence Killed 23 Seniors In Fire, Blames Federal Government. Global Limo's owner Jim Maples even listed Global Charters as his employer when he gave $5000 to the RNC in 2004. *BusBank CEO Bill Maulsby blamed insufficient federal oversight, "We're not safety experts," he said. "We clearly need to depend on the federal government." In November 2006, a federal court convicted Maples and sentenced him to five years' probation for failure to maintain his buses. Investigators found 168 violations in Maples' four-bus fleet. The following month, US Fed News reported that BusBank had been awarded a Homeland Security contract worth up to $55 million. In June, BusBank and Global Limo settled out of court for a total of $11 million, a pittance when split between the families of the 23 victims and the patients who survived the crash. BusBank's legal troubles are far from over. According to one report, more lawsuits are getting underway this month.

POPSSome of our foods are poisons!
This subject will always be actual. It's our life, after all. Modifying old sentence, we are eating to live, not to suffer from what we eat. And drink. So, better check what you eat and especially how you feed your kids; not force them to pay for our mistakes and our inaction toward crooks, making living on our health. There are many bizarre theories in food and medical science to be revised and as soon as we start to do that as better. How many troubles can be prevented! First of all it is the notion that we can safely eat artificial food, practically plastic. We are not! We cannot be healthier neither with synthetic food, nor with chemical medicines. Even naturally occurred remedies have to be applied carefully. Chemical "revolution" of past century in relation to our life and health is over. One more remark. Please note, that not all toxins are poisons and most dangerous stuff in our food not toxins, which are produced by some microbes, but man made poisons, added there by stu

POPSUnreasonable Expectations Everyone's whining about the cost of healthcare reform. Has anyone even though about how much in savings they'll have when healthcare costs are fair for a change? It could cut your healthcare costs in half, or better. What is that going to save you. It just takes capital to do the changeover. After that, it's nothing but savings. And, as a bonus, you have a chance of getting a much better healthcare system for your buck if you push your congressmen and senators to put a Universal Healthcare package in the bill. Do you want your healthcare dollars going toward $1000 meals on gold-plated dishes for Insurance Execs? Or do you want it paying the people who actually give you your healthcare? Well, the only way you're going to get that is with Universal Healthcare. Cut the crooks out of the equation.
