POPSThey Still Don't Get It Heartless morons in Illinois. Just had to ruin the driver's day, with a load of BS. I hope those folks never have to deal with the reality of any kind of Cancer in their family. Plus I'd like to know just who turned him in.

POPSWhite Coats passed out to Docs A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama’s pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress. The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image. But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses. So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area. ‘You look very spiffy in your coats.’ Obama told the group of doctors after his aides had handed out a great many of them. UPDATE: Patterico is not sure that all of the doctors in attendance at the President’s photo op were even pro-ObamaCare . According to the testimony of one doctor who was invi

POPSWH's botched 'op' I know my doctor is very concerned. The extra staff he has to hire to understand & handle the insurance issues now struggle with the red tape. Imagine what it will be like with a complete change? How long will it take for a staff member, as well as each doctor, insurance representative, lab tech, etc....to learn what's in those 1000+ pages?

POPSOne More Cool Thing About Las Vegas I keep checking out Las Vegas websites and attractions, looking for my condo, figuring out what kinds of fun things I'll want to do once I'm officially moved there. Found this last night. I'm so going there! Everything is made of ice, even the glasses your drinks are served in. You can even get custom ice sculptures, business logos or whatever you want for your own private party.

POPSDISSENT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF PATRIOTI… No, wait, That Bumper Sticker Expired January 20th
Senator Barbara Boxer has denounced dissenters from Obama's health care proposals as too "well-dressed" to be genuine. Only the Emperor has new clothes. Thankfully, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has seen through the "manufactured anger" of "the Brooks Brothers brigade." Did he announce this in a crumpled suit? He's a Press Secretary who won't press. Apparently, the health care debate now has a dress code. Soon you won't be able to get in unless you're wearing Barack Obama mom-jeans, manufactured at a converted GM plant by an assembly line of retrained insurance salesmen. Any day now, Hollywood will greenlight a new movie in which an insane Sarah Palin figure picks out her outfit for spreading disinformation (The Lyin', The Witch And The Wardrobe). (Nancy Pelosi) "I think they're AstroTurf," she declared. "They're carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care." So, on Monday, the official White House Web site drew attention to the . . .

POPSHappening now: Police are beating women opposing Sudan dress code outside trial of Lubna This is awful. Protesters are being beaten and gassed. "I am not afraid of flogging. ... It's not about flogging. It's not about my innocence. It's about changing the law," Hussein said, speaking to The Associated Press after the hearing Tuesday. She said she would take the issue all the way to Sudan's constitutional court if necessary, but that if the court rules against her and orders the flogging, she was ready "to receive (even) 40,000 lashes." Hussein wore the same clothes Tuesday she wore when arrested, including the dark-colored pants that authorities found offensive. Although she was required to wear the same outfit to court so the judge and others could see the clothing, Hussein said she's been wearing it every day to highlight her case.

"Since 1994, photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have been trekking the globe together, recording Exactitudes — “exact attitudes” captu(red) in people’s peculiar dress code as an attempt to differentiate themselves from others or identify with a group."

POPSCongress Should Wear T-Shirts with Endorsements Lawmakers should fork over all campaign contributions received from TARP-taking banks. These institutions doled out $114 million in the past year for lobbying and campaign contributions, according to CRP. Add that to the $50 million in AIG bonuses already returned by recipients, and we could put this whole bonus kerfuffle to rest. It turns out the $114 million was money well spent. It bought the banks $295.2 billion in TARP money, a return of more than 258,000 percent. Who needs off-balance-sheet vehicles when the government can provide that kind of return on investment?

POPSWhere Freedom Is Deferred
“I suppose to people living in free countries where women wear what they please, the difference between a relaxed dress code and a stern one sounds inconsequential,” she writes. “In fact, it mattered desperately. In the years when women could wear colors, could show off the lines of their figures, what in effect became acceptable was the expression of individuality. Attention must be paid to neighbors, who are liable to report people who pursue an “alternative lifestyle” — sometimes “out of genuine pious indignation, sometimes as revenge for neighborly quarrels. “Beyond that, the risks involved in rebellion swiftly outgrew the rewards. Busy investing in the logistics of emigration — the English proficiency tests, visa applications and language courses — many young people envisioned their futures abroad, and were unwilling to compromise those hopes for the sake of somehow changing Iran, a notion they considered chimerical, costly and best left to a future generation.”

POPSLife at Wal-Mart walmartwatch.com, for instance, is partnered with the Service Employees International Union; wakeupwalmart.com is copyright by United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Why are unions so obsessed with Wal-Mart? I'm guessing that if the more-than-a-million Wal-Mart employees could be unionized, they would be compelled to contribute at least half a billion dollars per year in union dues.

POPSWomen’s Right Activist Beheaded in Iraqi Kurdistan Democracy seems to have a high price for the most vunerable.We must vigorously demand the arrest and punishment of these murderers by the government of Iraqi Kurdistan. This reactionary government by creating a de facto Islamic state and co-operating with the Islamic forces and exercising tribal and Islamic laws has created a safe heaven for the Islamists and forces of reaction. Women have become the main targets of these forces. These are the conditions that have led to Nahla Hussain’s brutal murder and the US has do more on civil law front, since they destroyed Saddams rule of law.
