POPSWhy the Press Claims, Falsely, That Sarah Palin Wasn’t Vetted
Because They Got Surprised By The VP Pick I was impressed by the story of someone who seemed to be a political success, yet comes from a slice of middle America, as opposed to the moneyed elite from which most politicians spring. (I still think this aspect of her story is going to prove to be enormously powerful, in a way few expect. Americans will relate to Sarah Palin.) I was excited by the idea of someone who could bring life to a tired Republican ticket. My friend hadn’t heard of Palin. But readers of Beldar had. And readers of my site had. So when I was on vacation, woke up in Curry Village at Yosemite, fired up the Treo, and saw that McCain had picked Palin, I was thrilled. But at the same time, most of the press was saying: “Huh? Who dat?” To their detriment, they don’t read Beldar. So while you and I and Beldar were immediately rejoicing, the press corps — which considers itself the ultimate insiders — felt left out in the cold. And now they’re pissed off.

POPSmedia coverage of DNC is insane i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks so. the article gets part of it, but it misses the whole sycophantic relationship msnbc has with the democratic party. it's nauseating to see olbermann and matthews fellate the party so blatantly. how can any progressive complain about foxnews' support for the gop when msnbc is just as bad? anyway, hillary knocked it out the park tonight - perfect perfect speech.

POPSMissing Emails: What is the White House Hiding? Secrecy is not a mark of trustworthy government, and please do not say this was an accident and that the White House really is trying to recover anything. This is too convenient, since 'executive privelege" claims did not work. By the way, CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) is a non-partisan group that went after Larry Craig and is not beholden to either Dems or Repubs, but goes after ALL corruption of either party like pit bulls.

POPSKiarostami - the godfather of Iranian cinema Looking at Tazieh clearly invites westerners to step into Iranians' shoes. "Of course, I feel pain when I see that my country is considered evil," he says. "So in all my films, my wish is to give a kinder and a warmer image of human beings and of my country. Every morning, when I wake up, I have to say hello to my neighbours. And this is what I like to show in my films: friendship, love between people".

POPSGoing Ba(ra)ck On His Word? Obama opts to pursue private financing, resulting in a blitz of protest from McCain's camp. This was expected as Obama raised an unprecedented level of cash during the primaries. It also invites more scrutiny of his donors.

POPSAffiliate Marketing.. I looked this up because I wanted to make sure I understood what "affiliate" marketing meant. I think the premise is if I am going to evangelize a product then making me an affiliate is a way for a company to reward me for it.
