POPSOPHARMA - Politics Over The Greater Good That these people are still credited with the "best of intentions" proves that people either are not trying to REALLY pay attention, or their overall hope for human nature is very low - that this is really the most honest, open, well-intentioned that we should expect. WE SHOULD EXPECT AND DEMAND BETTER! These are dishonest, pompous, self-serving people and there ARE good people if only we could find them. CRAP! And after all the "hope", "change", and the chin-out, noble profile b**ls**t! F*****g SELLOUTS!!!

POPSObama: From Savior to Leftist Windbag in Nine Months
Hugo Chavez got a big round of American-hating applause when he said “it doesn’t smell like sulfur in here anymore” in reference to President Bush whom he had previously referred to as the devil. Words are cheap and Obama used a whole lot of them to promote his socialist-light agenda to the nation last year. There might not be much in the ways of original ideas floating around in his head - just a collection of discarded Democrat lost causes from the past half century or so - Obama has convinced himself that as a man of destiny he doesn’t have to bother with trivial matters like telling the truth or keeping his word. In an effort to sell healthcare reform to the nation that it doesn’t want, Obama habitually plays fast and loose with the truth. It’s gotten to the point where he can barely speak on the subject for longer than a few minutes without someone wanting to cough up the word “liar” in the background, just like Rep. Joe Wilson did last week.

POPSEviscerating Old Media Pomposity The will, instead, retreat to their steadily home turf, telling their steadily diminishing audiences that they should pay no attention to those louts who provide inconvenient truths about liberalism. A lot of good it will do them. Lord notes: Americans have learned the hard way that there was and is a serious effort by some of the most powerful figures in American journalism to quite deliberately keep Americans from making "informed decisions" by denying them accurate information. ... across five decades of American journalistic history, the instinct of many Old Media institutions -- specifically including NBC and the New York Times -- has been to deliberately withhold the truth. To quite deliberately use their journalism skills and tools to misrepresent those whose politics they do not favor. Were this, say, the field of medicine, practitioners of this kind of thing would lose their license to practice,

POPSDon't need leaders who just can't be bothered to read.. We have elected to represent us the lowest form of Americans. At least Conyers said flat-out what we all believed anyway. These entitled elitists are foisting on us (as LAW) things they don't even know about and frankly, isn't important because (as the article says) it won't apply to them. They spend their days at 'luncheons', traveling, making idiotic speeches that are as empty and superficial as their own sense of leadership and accomplishments. Americans....please don't let the likes of this man continue with his arrogant, lazy, pompous crafting of policies that will effect our future and every detail of our daily lives.

POPSComments by @biz on @techcrunch releasing stolen docs I really want to see Arrington pay for this...he's such a pompous ass in the first place - but to play god and decide day-by-day which documents to reveal and which to keep confidential is absurd. He should have taken the stolen information and alerted twitter about what happened and not even considered publishing them or reading them.

POPSThrough the Climate Change Looking Glass In Britain, it is startlingly clear that we have finally passed Through the Looking Glass with Alice. The Red Queen, like our naked emperor, is berating us to believe “six impossible things before breakfast”. But I am firmly with Alice: “There’s no use trying,” she said. “One can’t believe impossible things.”

POPS Stephen (No-Hair) Colbert Is A Patriot! The four shows are to air this week starting Monday on Comedy Central. For Colbert in Iraq, tonight's Word is `haircut' CAMP VICTORY, Iraq -- Wearing a camouflage suit and tie, Stephen Colbert took his show to Baghdad to entertain U.S. soldiers in Iraq. For openers, President Barack Obama appeared by video to thank the troops. "You're welcome," the mock pundit answered. "I wasn't talking to you," the president deadpanned. To the roaring approval of hundreds of troops at Camp Victory, on the western edge of Baghdad, Colbert taped the first of four episodes of "The Colbert Report," in which he plays a pompous, blustering conservative TV host. His first guest was the towering, bald Gen. Ray Odierno. When Obama and the U.S. commander suggested Colbert had to look like a soldier in order to be a soldier, the general took an electric razor to Colbert's perfectly parted cable-news coif. http://www.heraldonline.com/wire/world/story/1393928.html

POPSNotorious Spanish Judge Gears Up For Kangaroo Court On "Torture" The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows a solid majority of Americans opposed to Obama's release of Bush-era memos. President Pantywaist's motivation was simply to damage his Republican opponents: he may live in the White House, but he is still electioneering on the campaign trail. The One who promised to bring a healing bipartisan spirit to public life has proved to be the most viciously partisan president since Nixon - worse, in fact. Garzon bases his pompous claim to try American citizens on the principle of "universal jurisdiction" - the judicial version of World Government. The healthy American response would be to tell him to spin on it; but with this administration grovelling to anti-American forces, convinced its only enemies are fellow Americans, one wonders what further surrenders of US interests, dignity and sovereignty may be made. Why draw the line at Spain - why not have Republican officials tried in Cuba for maintaining a blockade?

POPSA funny thing happened on the way to the Forum . . continued: 'One of my favourite jokes from the book, and probably one of the longest, is about a barber, a professor and a bald man,' she added (see panel above). Another of the jokes - said to be dated to 248AD when Rome held what was billed as the 'Millennium Games' - tells the story of a distraught athlete. 'Never mind,' says a spectator. 'You can always try again at the next Millennium Games.' There is also an ancient version of the Monty Python dead parrot sketch. It reads: 'A man buys a slave, who dies soon after. When he complains, the slave seller replies, "Well, he didn't die when I owned him".'

POPSPompous Network Wrongly Fires Hypocrite P.C. claims of racism by latent racists,and a slur of "uneducated" for good measure. A tri-fecta of parties coming together to display a disgusting degree of arrogant pomp. To which lofty heights of feigned holier-than-thou-ness America may be quickly set to elevate to ourselves.

POPSForeign Aid $$ Spent on $23M Art at UN Human Rights Council Honestly, this says it all. Wallowing in money, living in another dimension, consumed by their own self-importance....THIS is what they do with the money alloted to them?? It's a crime. Is there no one who will/can stop this elitist, shameless, pompous organization that thumbs it's nose with no sense of shame.

POPSBeyond The Fat Cats "We can find trillions for a foolish war and for pompous, self-righteous high-rollers who wrecked their companies and the economy. But what about the working poor and the young people who are being clobbered in this downturn, battered so badly that they’re all but destitute? Can we find any way to help them?"

POPSAmerica Finally Getting Sick and Tired of Hearing About Barack Obama They aren’t talking about the fact that it was Obama who first trotted out the race card by suggesting we’d all be scared into submission by Republican assertions that Obama didn’t “look like all those other guys on the dollar bills.” As even more complete picture of the candidate begins to emerge, the number of Americans expressing doubt about Obama increases. In the Illinois State Senate Obama sponsored bills to provide universal health care coverage, drastically increase welfare, handcuff the police and burden them with administrative overhead, make it more difficult and time consuming for law-abiding citizens to purchase lawfully-regulated firearms for self-defense and generally expand government, welfare, affirmative action and other entitlement programs. By all accounts, Ms. Hilton’s energy policy, is in fact, more comprehensive than Obama’s, which focuses almost exclusively on the development of petroleum alternatives, tune-ups and tire pressure checks.

POPSProtecting Them Protects Us "This case is about our unequivocal treaty obligation to comply with an International Court of Justice judgment and the Vienna Convention, which has allowed diplomats such as myself to save hundreds if not thousands of American lives. Were the tables turned -- American citizens arrested abroad and denied consular access, with an ICJ judgment requiring review of those cases for prejudice, and another nation refusing to comply -- our leaders would rightly demand that compliance be forthcoming."
