POPS The Cult of Iconography People obsessed with their own image expect some opposition. But there is one thing the true narcissist cannot tolerate… LOL ! This ( LOL ! ) is the killer ap. I wouldn’t worry about the Joker poster so much, Mr. President. But if this ( LOL ! ) catches on, and your policies are reduced to three-letter ridicule ( LOL ! )… well, sir, then you are in real trouble.

POPSHey Henry, How Is It Down There Under The Bus?
Clifton B., a conservative blogger, thinks the dust-up is about Professor Gates' sense of class privilege. Obama too seems to revels a wee bit too much in his authoritah. He has made little references to his superior status from time to time." Tommy Davis, a conservative Republican in N.Y.: "Whether you are an educator or a caught criminal, all citizens are supposed to cooperate with standard investigative procedure. Just because you are a published professor --- Mr. Gates --- doesn't mean a cop should 'know you who are.' Don't make your situation out to be racist just because you are subject to the law!" Veronica Foxx, a conservative in D.C., wonders: "If It Had been a Black Police Officer and a White Professor Would Anyone Be Having this Conversation? I believe What the Police Officer Did was HIS JOB. Maybe Obama Should Stick to his Job and Stop Trying to Take Care of Another one of his Budd ! Retire The Race Card Please! Not Saying There Isn't Racism In America . . .

POPSHe Doesn't Get It . . . . would be doing this to Israel even if Iran was not the problem that it is. In any event, the double standard is egregious. Obama has torn up his previous understandings with Israel over the settlements while putting no pressure at all on the Palestinians, even though since they are the regional aggressor there can be no peace unless they end their aggression and certainly not until they accept Israel as a Jewish state, which they have said explicitly they will never do. On this, Obama is totally silent. So too is Dershowitz. That’s some omission. Next, Obama is pressuring Israel to set up a Palestine state " within two years this will exist, swaggers Rahm Emanuel. But everyone knows that as soon as Israel leaves the West Bank, Hamas " or even worse " will take over. The only reason the (also appalling) Abbas is still in Ramallah, enabling Obama to pretend there is a Palestinian interlocutor for peace, is because the Israelis are keeping Hamas at bay.

POPSTexas Congressman Introduces "Rangel Rule" IRS Immunity Carter, a former judge, said he is trying to focus in a what he believes is a double standard and add some levity to the debate. "I am raising this issue not so much to just push the issue but to open the discussion. I don't think it's wrong for us to start having a free discussion in congress and with a certain amount of humor in it about how should people be treated in congress," he said. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/28/gop-congressman-intros-rangel-rule-eliminating-irs-late-fees/

POPSRNC funds for Sarah's clothes and makeup? That's OK. We know the slimy democrats are smearing Palin, her family, and Joe the plumber. Now let's see who paid for Biden's hair plugs. Any bets it was the taxpayers? How about his recent botox shots? Who paid for Michelle Obama's 3PM lobster, Iranian caviar, and Dom Perignon champagne?

POPSMedia's Double Standard I've noticed that the mainstream media still handles McCain with kid gloves. I wonder why that is...? OK, he was a POW, captured by an "enemy" of our government. But why should that give him a one-upmanship over Obama... as far as fair reporting is concerned? Maybe corporate media has more to gain under republican rule or maybe it's just that they fear a McCain attack because they've taken note of how McMean and his Cold-Hearted-VP pick's, mean-spirited, hateful innuendoes launched against Obama have stirred the "Republican base of loathing", to get "physical" with any contrived foe. I believe it's both but they've got the case of the willies when it comes to the ornery right-wing mentality, knowing they might band together and threaten not to buy the goods their sponsors hawk! :eek:

POPSWho Vetted Obama? AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | Sept. 2, 2008 We are living witnesses to an incredible media double standard, whereby a Republican vice-presidential candidate’s personal life is being torn apart, while the Democratic presidential candidate continues to get a free ride. Obama has a 30-year history of associating with unsavory characters, beginning with communist Frank Marshall Davis and continuing with Jeremiah Wright and communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, which should disqualify him from getting a security clearance in the government that he wants to run.

POPSLet Them Eat Rice: Washington's Unedifying Ethanol Food Fight And what about the impact of the Chinese livestock and meat complex, alluded to by Senator Grassley? According to China expert, Darrell Ray, Director of the University of Tennessee's Agricultural Policy Analysis Center, "China has not been importing corn to grow her livestock industry. China continues to export more corn that she imports. With regard to grains, China has been taking care of China as if it were a planet on to its own, completely independent of what is happening elsewhere. . . .To attribute today's international grain prices to China essentially assumes that beginning two years ago the market decided there may be a need for China to become a net importer of some corn in the future, say 2012, and so bid-up the price of corn by double." As this "let them eat rice" soundbite made clear, the debate over the food versus fuel issue is about as undignified as a full out real food fight at a summer camp cafeteria.

POPSThis Earth Day in America A Washington Post, ABC News and Stanford University poll reveals: - a third of Americans now say that global warming is the world's single largest environmental problem, double the number of a year ago. - seven in 10 Americans want more federal action on global warming, and half said that believe the government should do much more than it is now. - fifty two percent said the issue is "extremely" or "very" important personally, double the percentage recorded a decade ago. How is this playing out in the lead-up to the presidential elections?
