POPSSoros-Tied Authors Launch Bid to Dislodge Conservative Best-Selling Books
50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America! Look, Obama-bots: The book has the weighty endorsements of starlets, rappers, and yes, Teddy Kennedy. ....and it’s imperative that we keep that momentum going by involving the next generation.” "Jessica Alba …This book provides simple ways to use the arts and other means for making change.” "Will.I.Am, Black Eyed Peas “In 50 Ways You Can Help Obama ChangeAmerica"... ......for anyone interested in making a difference and helping President Obama get our nation back on track.” "The late Senator Edward M. Kennedy Co-author Michael Huttner urges his fellow Obama cultists to buy the book so they, too, can be inspired to “help Obama pass health care reform, enact other core campaign promises, and move the country forward.” The national media doesn’t want to talk about the dominance of conservative books atop the New York Times best-seller list and other national lists. But it’s clearly getting under the Left’s skin.

POPSWhite House Public Option Ploy: A Trial Balloon, Not a White Flag Do you believe the Sunday spin on the White House’s alleged “retreat” from the Obamacare public option? Video of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’s pooh-poohing of the public option provision is here. Drudge illustrated the AP story with a white flag. Politico says the White House has “backed away.” I’m not buying the hype. Are you? Late Sunday, the health care czar’s office said Sebelius “misspoke.” It’s not a misstatement. It’s not a surrender flag. It’s a trial balloon to measure the potential nutroots backlash versus the potential Senate pick-ups. Besides, the public option provision can always be stuffed back in via a 3am manager’s amendment or during the House/Senate conference to reconcile each chamber’s Obamacare bills. As for Democrat Sen. Kent Conrad’s health care “co-op” idea, the devil " as always " is in the details. Distrust and verify.

POPS Specterenfreude DailyKOS: "Keep it up Arlen, your Joe Lieberman impersonation is so spot-on, that we can't wait to take you on in the Democratic primary." Whiskey Fire: "... because he's just overall kind of a douchebag." The news hasn't been this much fun since Monica remembered she kept that blue dress. UPDATE: The hits just keep coming. Asked whether he regretted any of the roughly 10,000 votes he has cast as a Senator, Specter could think of just one: Sen. Arlen Specter said Tuesday he regrets his vote against Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) two decades ago that helped kill his nomination to the federal bench. Sessions, who has now assumed Specter's former position as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, was nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 to be a federal judge — but Specter provided a key "no" vote after allegations were made that Sessions had a poor record on race relations as Alabama attorney general. Sessions has called those allegations false and unfound

POPSWhen That Hope'nChange Fee-Vah Strikes *Here’s the songlist. Believe it or not, Jake Tapper’s eating crap from the left for blogging this story even though, had Bush pulled something like this, (a) it would be in constant rotation on MSNBC and likely have been the top story on “Countdown,” and (b) the same nutroots morons who are hassling JT would have wet themselves with glee over the hay they could make from it. Exit question: How’d Team Barry forget to pre-load that ass-covering speech on race he gave last year — which, I believe, was the last time he dared to utter a syllable on the subject? Isn’t that supposed to be the greatest work of American literature since “Huckleberry Finn” or something? Way to cheap out on the Queen! http://hotair.com/archives/2009/04/01/confirmed-queens-ipod-includes-obamas-speeches/ * Obama's iPod gift includes 40 Broadway show tunes http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090401/ap_en_mu/eu_obama_queen_s_song_list HT: suitably flip

POPSWas Barack's Surprise Visit a Sign He Knows It's Going Badly? But when you've got the messiah's image to protect, then you've got to scrap the purpose of the convention if it's going to make him look bad. That's not a good sign. Exit question: since the entire purpose of the convention, the roll call of the states, was thrown out the window, how does this even remain a convention? How is it different from one huge campaign ad?
