POPSFamily at Center of Balloon Saga Faces Scrutiny Read it all! These are crazy publicity-seekers. "authorities would need to bring a criminal case before attempting to recoup restitution costs for the thousands of dollars spent to search for the boy, an effort that involved military helicopters, a ground rescue and even a mounted posse. Officials also rerouted planes around the balloon's flight path and briefly shut down Denver International Airport.They should do just that!

POPSSean Hannity helps Jerome Corsi promote his black-helicopter 'New World Order' conspiracy theories As Steven Thomma explained for McClatchy: In truth, Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., has proposed a bill that would order the Homeland Security Department to prepare national emergency centers — to provide temporary housing and medical facilities in national emergencies such as hurricanes.

Copies of the video will also be delivered to the defense minister, the IDF chief of staff and the Shin Bet chief. Who will see the tape? After watching the videotape, Jerusalem will have . .

POPSVanity Fair: Sarah Palin Is Winning Ron Paul is a nut. I don’t know if that needs repeating, but it feels like it. When asked about Palin, he said her supporters are “more establishment, conventional Country-Club type of Republicans.” Yeah, that’s the problem with Palin: Too elitist. She’s always flying around in her fancy helicopter shooting wolves with her brand name rifles because she just feels she’s too good to walk around the ground throwing rocks at them like Ron Paul salt of the earth types. I bet her supporters have to use brand name Reynolds Wrap to make their hats instead of just buying the store brand tin foil even though both block out government mind control signals just the same. I kid, but Ron Paul does have a long career ahead of him… dancing on the street corner for nickels.

POPSHysteria, not H1N1, taxing healthcare An outbreak of hovering parents nationwide causes the truly ill to wait for care. There are fees for unnecessarily setting off burglar alarms and fire alarms, how about private MD's charging more for Helicopter Hannah bringing in her child during an epidemic of a viral disease which has no cure when the child is merely in discomfort. What passes as "education" by the MSM is often just scaremongering to lift ratings. Maybe a set of guidelines for when to actually seek medical help in a report warning of deaths of toddlers would be responsible.

POPSTruth or Lies only 2 people kno i would not like to think that Katie would lie about this on one hand she might not want to name who it is to stop her from having to go threw all the legal stuff and racking it all up again this is understandable but because she brought it up in the 1st place and now not telling who it is just makes people think she is lieing i guess it will be up to each person to decide is it a lie or is it the truth?

POPS They’re actually counting people. http://pajamasmedia.com/vodkapundit/2009/09/12/they-will-be-heard/ ORIGINAL POST BELOW Just got off the phone with Stacy McCain, who’s trying his damnedest to get into DC for the big TEA Party march today. Stacy was calling in to tell me about his talk with Barbara Espinosa. She’s on the ground at 11th & Pennsylvania Avenue, where they’re metering the crowd. We’re not talking about taking sample counts from a helicopter than extrapolating some dumb figure. They’re actually counting people . And as of about noon Eastern, more than 450,000 people had walked by. And as Stacy can tell you from the traffic, there are more coming in. Many more. Barbara will have pictures and video in just a bit " check back here for links and/or pics and vids. FRIENDS? Could President Obama heal the rift… between economic conservatives and social conservatives? Stacy McCain ( the other mccain blogspot ) reports that the two groups are both out in force today,
