POPSThe media can't handle the truth "And yet it was all rubbish, exactly as some of us raised on intelligence hoaxes suspected. Evidence of what I called "chicanery and fraud" in the U.S. case against Iraq was obvious to anybody unafraid to see it."

POPSLegislation to Overhaul Rockefeller Drug Laws Moves Ahead Swiftly “Returning discretion to judges is really the heart of where we want to go,” said Jeffrion L. Aubry, an assemblyman who represents Queens and has led efforts to overturn the statutes, known as the Rockefeller drug laws because Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller made them a centerpiece of his agenda...“When we take away those mandatory minimums and restore judicial discretion, that’s when you can say Rockefeller is no longer there,...” Mr. Aubry said...But now Democratic leaders see an opportunity to take aim at the judicial underpinnings of the laws by untying the hands of judges, who are often bound to mandatory minimum sentences even for less serious drug crimes.

POPS Governor Blagojevich Joins Jobless Ranks Today 6:15 p.m. Posted by Rex Huppke...Blagojevich to people: 'haven't let you down' Gov. Rod Blagojevich offered a short speech outside his Northwest Side home. “I love the people of Illinois today now more than I ever did before,” he said. “And the fight goes on.” “I’m going to keep fighting to clear my name,” he said. “I guess I’ll just have to wait for my day in court.” “Give me a chance so I can show you I haven’t let you down.” Blagojevich said he was "disappointed but not at all surprised" by the Senate’s decision to remove him from office.

POPSTed Nugent - Drug Czar In today's America, even with the Terminator serving as Governor of California, a conspiratorial wrestler as the former Governor of Minnesota, a variety show comedian likely to take a seat in the US Senate, and swirling reports that the President-elect is offering the job of Surgeon General to a television doctor ... Well, perhaps Nugent's plea shouldn't come as a surprise.

POPSThe Governor Palin 'scoop du jour' leads to other questions about elitism, ethics, public health and the insufferable phoniness that plagues politics and politicians. Can you believe the latest scandal over Sarah Palin? She installed a tanning bed in the governor's mansion and -- what's worse -- she paid for the contraption with her own money! The latest scandal over Sarah Palin was first reported by a couple of left-wing nuts at Narco News, an online publicaton that in the past I've seen putting out pro-Hugo Chavez propaganda. Here's the spin on the tanning bed scandal from Narco News: "A politician emerges, we are told, from humble roots and pledges to restore America’s small town family values and represent the common man and woman." And yet all along, the story continues, she's using a tanning bed! It's all on par, according to NarcoNews, with John Edward's $400 haircut!

POPSRed Primer for Children and Diplomats The Order of the October Revolution (Russian: Орден Октябрьской Революции, or Orden Oktyabr'skoy Revolyutsii) was instituted on October 31, 1967, in time for the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was awarded to individuals or groups for services furthering communism or the state, or in enhancing the defences of the Soviet Union. It ranked second amongst the Soviet orders, after the Order of Lenin. Nicholas II of Russia born Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov (18 May 1868 – 17 July 1918) was the last Tsar of Russia, King of Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland. Nicholas II ruled from 1894 until his abdication in 1917. His rule ended with the Russian Revolution of 1917 in which he and his family were imprisoned first in the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoe Selo, then later the Governor's Mansion in Tobolsk. Finally, at the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, Nicholas and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks on the night of July 17, 1918.

POPSSchwarzenegger's Gulfstream Ride To Be Terminated? `Built for Propellers' ``An overrun would be disastrous,'' Tachiki said in an interview. ``Santa Monica is an old airport built for propeller planes.'' The ban would apply to jets that land at speeds of 120 knots (138 miles an hour) or faster. While the governor hasn't called to complain and probably would use a helicopter to dodge a ban anyhow, Shriver says he knows what to expect if the restriction holds. ``Now I have to drive an hour and a half because of Bobby and the communists,'' Shriver said, mimicking his brother-in- law's Austrian accent.

POPSHow To Buy A Mansion You Can't Afford.......
.............and Barack Obama's housing problem Within in a month of purchasing their new home, the Obamas began the same process the doctor previously went through. Because Tony Rezko was being indicted, they needed to be distanced from him. So the Obamas hired a lawyer and an architect. Additionally, the Obama’s wanted to put up a fence separating the two properties. On page 21 of the Landmark Ordinances above, it states fences for Historic homes can be no more than 5’ high and must not be visible from the street. The new fence was specially fabricated to conform to historic standards, and the $14,000 cost was billed to Rezko per agreement by Obama and Rezko. Obama states he paid for the architect and Lawyer. Strangely enough the fence actually sits ON the property line between the two lots. Obama agreed to yard maintenance for both properties.

POPSAnother Flat Earther Quits the Race For GOP Nomination Brownback's yellow brick road fell short of the White House and the World breathes a sigh of relief. One less Bigoted Jerk in the race but there are still plenty of Bigots running in the GOP Primary. Well, click your heels Dorothy you ain’t going to DC and hopefully the good people of Kansas will make sure you never get into the Governor’s Mansion in 2010. The only way a governor’s mansion would look good would be on top of you as your ruby slippers fell off your cloven hooves.
