POPSMcCain-Palin Warmongers Don't Know Jack
In this latest blast Obama is accused of being in some conspiracy with the Iraqi government. Here is the big Conspiracy: He told the Iraqi government what the USA law was, concerning future plans for Iraq. The USA law is that Congress has to vote on any agreement. Shocking! This is like the law that says Congress is suppose to vote on wars; (it sure would be nice if they got back to that basic Constitutional mandate). But here's the Real Shocker: the Bush Administration wants to sign a "private contract," with Iraq, allowing the war to go on and for permanent occupation. They call this private contract a "Status of Forces Agreement." By doing it this way they claim they can avoid the hassle of going to Congress. These *()*$#8 do this all the time. We don't go to war anymore. The president makes private 'Status of Forces Agreements." We got them all over the world. They try to keep them secret. (Backstory: US needs one by Dec./ UN mandate justifying war

POPSFannie Mae & Freddie Mac not the cause of the subprime mortgage meltdown Between 2004 and 2006, when subprime lending was exploding, Fannie and Freddie went from holding a high of 48 percent of the subprime loans that were sold into the secondary market to holding about 24 percent, according to data from Inside Mortgage Finance, a specialty publication. One reason is that Fannie and Freddie were subject to tougher standards than many of the unregulated players in the private sector who weakened lending standards, most of whom have gone bankrupt or are now in deep trouble. During those same explosive three years, private investment banks — not Fannie and Freddie — dominated the mortgage loans that were packaged and sold into the secondary mortgage market. In 2005 and 2006, the private sector securitized almost two thirds of all U.S. mortgages, supplanting Fannie and Freddie, according to a number of specialty publications that track this data.

POPSBush Denounces 'Dungeon' of Cuba You'd think Bush was speaking of his own dictatorial reign, eh? "Our great nation that believes in human rights and human dignity, blah, blah, blah..." Hahahaha! What a joke! Tell that to the people of Iraq or Afghanistan or the people wasting away in Gitmo! I'd bet Castro's popularity ratings are higher than yours! Bush, why don't you just STFU? Fix your own country, who is "being repressed by a handful of elites" first, before trying to impose your twisted version of "freedom", on everyone else! Lift the embargo. The age of the red scare is dead and gone. It's the red, white and blue scare, most of the world is concerned about these days...SIR!

POPSIndicting the hacker who broke into Sarah Palin's private email - Harpers.org The DOJ has mounted an extraordinary case against the hacker who revealed Sarah Palin's apparent systematic violation of the Open Records Act (by using a private email address to conduct government business). Given that the DOJ normally doesn't care much about cyber-crime, one has to wonder how the decision to allocate those resources was made.

POPSPalin sued over private e-mails This behavior shows she thinks it is okay to ignore state law. This is an indication of how she will behave as Vice President. Dick Cheney must be proud.

POPSCanon supports secret garden in urban jungle to Greenwash their waste example of public-private partnership to support a local community garden in NYC. This is a call for community participation. Canon partnered with the American Park Network to offset their carbon with the purchase of trees. The APN then donates trees to local parks and works with community groups to plant them. It would be a cool deal, but it's not much coming from canon. Not while they continue to produce highly wasteful print cartridges, and as far as I can see still haven't come out with a refillable cartridge. Canon is so so NOT GREEN!
