POPSJudge Herman Thomas Indicted on Inmate Sex Charges, Lawyer Pulls Race Card "This is racism at its very finest." Let me get this straight. The former judge has been accused of some serious charges and the best his attorney could do was get in the mud and scream racism? The Alabama State Bar said its disciplinary commission suspended Thomas' law license Monday. One of the inmates, according to the newspaper, went before Thomas on multiple occasions and faced several felony charges. He was sent to prison for a short time, but Thomas ordered him released early, according to the Press-Register. He was sentenced in federal court and later released and has since been accused of murder and attempted murder. During Thomas' judgeship, he had a storage room furnished like an office near his eighth-floor chamber at Mobile's Government Plaza, the Press-Register said.

POPSBEHIND OUR BACKS....how can this happen? Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

POPS Tea Party 2.0 Kicks Off This Thursday May 14th 8:30 PM Republican Governors Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Rick Perry of Texas will host a tele-town hall this Thursday to recapture the spirit of April’s tea parties. Thursday’s call will serve as a springboard of support for the conservative movement to reduce wasteful government spending. RGA Executive Director Nick Ayers said: “Our Republican governors are best positioned to lead on these issues. We don’t have to wait until 2010 to send a message to Democrats in Washington that they are spending too much and borrowing too much.” The tea party 2.0 is set to kick off May 14th at 8:30 pm EDT on Thursday evening. If you would like to join the tele-townhall register at the RGA’s website: For more info: Visit the RGA 'Fight for Freedom': www.thegopcomeback.com/freedom

POPSMust read letter to AG Holder - Releasing Detainees
Under the circumstances, I think the better course is to register my dissent, rather than be used as a prop. Moreover, in light of public statements by both you and the President, it is dismayingly clear that, under your leadership, the Justice Department takes the position that a lawyer who in good faith offers legal advice to government policy makers—like the government lawyers who offered good faith advice on interrogation policy—may be subject to investigation and prosecution for the content of that advice, in addition to empty but professionally damaging accusations of ethical misconduct. Given that stance, any prudent lawyer would have to hesitate before offering advice to the government. Beyond that, as elucidated in my writing (including my proposal for a new national security court, which I understand the Task Force has perused), I believe alien enemy combatants should be detained at Guantanamo Bay (or a facility like it) until the conclusion of hostilities.

POPSGeithner Seeks Broad New Regulation of Financial Markets Cont... • Set up a new, comprehensive framework of regulation of the complex financial instruments known as derivatives, including a central clearinghouse for trades in that market. • Develop new, stronger requirements for money market funds so increased withdrawals won't threaten the broader financial system. "What we need is better, smarter, tougher regulation," Geithner said. Agreed, but is Geithner or anyone from Wall Street the right person(s) for the job?

Authorities began investigating the incident after receiving a tip about the inappropriate relationship. They then learned that Sligar had changed the primary beneficiary on an insurance policy from her children to McClain. A subsequent search of her home turned up the journal and photographs.

POPSObama Cleans Up after Bush "...But many more rules remain on the books. They include regulations that allow mountaintop-removal mining projects to pollute streambeds with leftover dirt, and a Bush move to begin to permit drilling for oil and gas on the Outer Continental Shelf. Worse, they also include a drastic weakening of the Endangered Species Act, allowing federal agencies to bypass expert advice from federal scientists on whether proposed projects would have an impact on endangered species, essentially cutting the heart out of the act."

POPSSelective Service Registration Raises Serious Questions EXCLUSIVE: Did Next Commander-in-Chief Falsify Selective Service Registration? First, there is the Document Location Number (DLN) on the form. In the upper right hand corner of the Selective Service form SSS Form 1, there is the standard Bates-stamped DLN, in this case "0897080632," which I've labeled as "A" on both the SSS Form and the computer printout document. On the form, it reflects a 2008 creation, but on the printout, an extra eight was added in front of the number to make it look like it is from 1980, when it was actually created in 2008.

POPSObama Transition Team Limits Lobbyists The specifics, from Change.gov : Federal Lobbyists cannot contribute financially to the transition. Federal lobbyists are prohibited from any lobbying during their work with the transition. If someone has lobbied in the last 12 months, they are prohibited from working in the fields of policy on which they lobbied. If someone becomes a lobbyist after working on the Transition, they are prohibited from lobbying the Administration for 12 months on matters on which they worked. A gift ban that is aggressive in reducing the influence of special interests.

POPSWhy the ACORN kerfuffle is a GOP hoax ACORN hires canvassers. ACORN checks all the names they bring in. ACORN marks the ones that don't add up, and turns them in, as required by law. We hear about them BECAUSE ACORN HAS IDENTIFIED THEM. And federal law requires those who register in this manner to show an ID when they come to vote the first time. Will Donald Duck be voting? Not unless he has an ID to show. Not one known instance of voting fraud has come from any ACORN-registered voters. Not one!

POPSRepublicans try to tie Obama to voter fraud
Republicans are going full tilt trying to smear Obama. This is just one sustained example. In fact, there is also evidence that links Republicans to voter fraud, but far less coverage of that. They would like to win the election by painting Obama as if he's doing voting fraud, as if he's linked to 'domestic terrorist,' as if he's getting vast amounts of funding from Arab sources, etc. They are appeal to hate and fear; hate and fear and no substance behind it at all; and no substance to actually work for the interests of the American people (or the world). Compared to these fabrications we can see the realities of: False War; Failed Economy; a FEMA government. Also note, this clip makes it clear that ACORN supervisors were following the rules requiring them to submit all voter registration cards AND dutifully pointing out ones they themselves suspected as fraud. Thus, Republican false attacks not only wrong, but deliberately deceitful. Vote Obama; it's a necessary

POPSVoter Registration Shut Down If the shutdown goes as planned, it will seriously impair the ability of states to process new voter registrations before the November 4 election. Who would this impact? New voters, as well as people who re-register because they have moved, who do not have state-issued driver's licenses or non-driver's IDs. Those citizens are disproportionately older, African-American, and low-income
