POPSVancouver Winter Olympics 2010 Protest Walking downtown just days before the Olympics are scheduled to begin there was quite a buzz around town. While most of the people we encountered were there to enjoy the Olympic atmosphere, some were there with a different agenda. Do you think it's acceptable for people to be killed for opposing the government? How can you help? http://bit.ly/cPKZdP Read more: http://www.tune-in-tokyo.com

POPSUnsustainable ....... by Mark Steyn the State of the Union than any of the dreary 90-minute sludge he paid his speechwriters for, let us consider it: Is America a Corpseman walking? Well, we’re getting there. National Review ’s Jim Geraghty sums up Obama’s America thus: “Unsustainable is the new normal.” Indeed. The other day, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office, described current deficits as “unsustainable.” So let’s make them even more so. The president tells us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible profligate wastrel of a predecessor took the federal budget on an eight-year joyride, so the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor can get things under control is to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in Spaceballs (which seems the appropriate comparison) called “Ludicrous Speed.” Obama’s spending proposes to take the average Bush deficit for the years 2001– 2008, and double it, all the way to 2020.

POPSScientists warn solar activity could hit London 2012 Olympic Games Presumably it would be wise to shut down the Internet for a couple of weeks at least? There could be no flying, either. That would take a lot of planning. There is, as yet, no evidence that any such planning is taking place. For terrorists, it would be a great time to cause mayhem, too.

POPSGet Rid of Rahm Emmanuel, flawed WH Advisor Behind the scenes, this psychotic politician, White House Chief of Staff, is probably the one most responsible for killing a reform of USA national health care. Right now, if you get sick, insurance companies can cancel your policy. This is just one of the obvious ills of the way things are. When US Senator Leiberman plunged the knife into health care reform, Rahm Emmanuel backed him up and told 'liberals,' that if they worked to defeat Lieberman in the next elections, or other conservative Democrats, that they were '#ucking retartded.' Now's he's apologized: to retarded people. He sends people dead fish in the mail. Makes threats. Was a mercenary (or 'civilian contractor," ) in the Israeli Army. He should not only be fired but stripped of his US citizenship.

POPSA Few FACTS For Global Warming Denialists Like Al says, we all have to work with the same facts. More from the article below: "And while too much water is an issue for Coastal inhabitants, not enough water is the other issue for many other people who rely on glacial melt for fresh drinking water - such as in Bolivia, where Scientists recorded the first glacier to 'disappear' from existence this past year. Or in news closer to home, The Winter Olympics in Vancouver are having to use trucks to bring in Ice and Snow for their downhill skiing competition because it has been too mild for snowfall." Happy opinionating!

POPS Too Much of a Bad Thing by Mark Steyn
But it’s dispiriting to discover he’s stupid enough to think we’re stupid enough to believe it. So who’s panting for that 412th speech? Not the American Left. As Paul Krugman, the New York Times’s “Conscience of a Liberal,” put it: “He Wasn’t The One We’ve Been Waiting For.” Not the once-delirious Europeans, either. As the headline in Der Spiegel put it: “The World Bids Farewell to Obama.” ..... The Barack Obama who showed up last Sunday to help out Martha Coakley was a sad and diminished figure from the colossus of a year ago. He had nothing to say, but he said it anyway. As he did with his Copenhagen pitch for the Olympics, he put his personal prestige on the line, raised the stakes, and then failed to deliver. The most striking aspect of his performance was how unhappy he looked, as if he doesn’t enjoy the job. You can understand why. He ran as something he’s not, and never has been: a post-partisan, centrist, transformative healer. That’d be a difficult trick

POPSProgressive Schemers Obama even expressed his own affection for Chinese society during the Olympics. How can that be? They're a communist country! It is simple, the people living in China have been reduced to the status of living in a bee hive. This is exactly what the progressives want for us, everyone is in their place, doing their appointed tasks and following orders. Mao believed that all politics came from the barrel of a gun; he destroyed the cultures of the many different people who lived in China; anyone who opposed his policies were eliminated. Mao was ruthless, killing an estimated 70 million people before he was sated. Mao makes Stalin look like a piker and Stalin killed more people in peacetime than Hitler could in a war.

POPSObama Keeps His Distance From Massachusetts Race Obama Avoids Campaigning For Coakley in the Bay State. With Mrs. Coakley flagging in the polls and Republican Scott Brown closing fast -- one recent polls puts him 2 points ahead -- Mr. Obama has decided to keep his fingerprints off a race that would be an embarrassment for Democrats should they lose, given that Mr. Obama won the state in 2008 by a 27 point margin.

POPSThe Top 10 Quotes From Barack Obama in 2009 5) NBC: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — can you understand why it is offensive to some for this terrorist to get all the legal privileges of any American citizen? Obama: I don't think it will be offensive at all when when he's convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him. 4) Our friends have fought and bled and died alongside us in Afghanistan. And now, we must come together to end this war successfully. For what's at stake is not simply a test of NATO's credibility -- what's at stake is the security of our allies, and the common security of the world. 3) Oprah: What grade would you give yourself, for this year? Obama: Um, good solid B+ ...Oprah: So B+, what could you have done better? Obama: Well B+ because of the things that are undone. Health care is not yet signed. If I get health care passed we tip into A minus. 2) But I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can

POPSFrom Close Gitmo to Acting "Stupidly" The non-response from the media for the past year is deafening. They bitched and moaned for 8 years of Reagan and 8 years of Bush. Yet nothing for this lightweight. And what about his sidekick, “make it up as you go along" Joe. Sterling qualities of our incompetent narcissistic man-boy have yet to be realized. Great list at source!

POPSCancer survivor carries torch to Terry Fox memorial as O Canada sung "Kailie Kernaghan-Keast reached the Terry Fox monument near Thunder Bay on Sunday just as the sun was disappearing over Lake Superior, and the crowd burst into a spontaneous rendition of O Canada as she lifted the Olympic flame high to pass it onto the next torchbearer." Just from that description, it sounds like a glorious moment. So the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games : 34 days until they begin Olympics February 12 to 28 Paralympics March 12 to 21
