POPSS&M Porn Illegal-Real Life Torture-OK! But for our highest government officials, including the ones responsible for this prosecution, we have a different story altogether. In 2002, the Bush DOJ radically re-defined "torture" and illegal treatment of detainees to exclude anything that falls short of "the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death." The DOJ's John Yoo even decreed that the President could legally order "'scalding water, corrosive acid or caustic substance' thrown on a prisoner" and possibly even "slitting an ear, nose or lip, or disabling a tongue or limb."

POPS Cops block traffic to stop erasable chalking event This is the law, been on the books for a while. It doesn't say "chalk" anywhere. They've gone and used it to make sidewalk chalk a crime.

POPSJudge Considering Arguments To Block Troopergate probe Wouldn’t legislators who call for an investigation naturally believe something was amiss? Clarkson had hoped to call witnesses. The judge said no. Next to Clarkson sat Scott Hoyt – a Dallas lawyer with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher here on behalf of the Liberty Legal Institute. One point of debate: Did the Senate Judiciary Committee have the proper authority to issue the subpoenas? Maassen said it doesn’t matter whether the Legislature acts through a council or a committee – it still has the same broad powers of investigation. Thomas Van Flein, the lawyer representing Palin her husband Todd, watched from the gallery, along with Sen. Fred Dyson, Rep. John Coghill. Rep. Bob Lynn and Rep. Les Gara.

POPSMcCain Claims of Bringing House GOP Along Prove False Timeline: McCain calls Bush for econ summit to score presidential points. Before the summit, McCain meets with House GOP. They tell them they're opposed to the bailout. Pressure him to support his plan. McCain signals that he does to them and GOP leadership. Mass political chaos ensues. Deal falls apart. Claims on Sunday he's fixed it, bringing the House Republicans along. Bill is voted on. It's defeated because of a House Republican rebellion. McCain blames all of this... on Obama?

POPSMcCain's Version of 'Leadership' So basically, he had to rush off to Washington to keep a chair warm. Nice stunt. The piece goes on: Sen. Chris Dodd said, “Instead of being a rescue plan for our economy it was a rescue plan for John McCain .” Sen. Chuck Schumer urged Bush to “respectfully tell Sen. McCain to get out of town. He’s not helping .” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid added, “We had Senator Bennett, a high ranking official, who said these are the principles. And then, guess who came to town? And it all fell apart.” Leadership? I don't think so.

POPS Barack Obama's Important Executive Experience
Mr. Ayers made presentations to board meetings chaired by Mr. Obama. Mr. Ayers spoke for the Collaborative before the board. Likewise, Mr. Obama periodically spoke for the board at meetings of the Collaborative. The Obama campaign has struggled to downplay that association. Last April, Sen. Obama dismissed Mr. Ayers as just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and "not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis." The point, says Mr. Ayers in his "Teaching Toward Freedom," is to "teach against oppression," against America's history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation. The Obama campaign has cried foul when Bill Ayers comes up, claiming "guilt by association." Yet the issue here isn't guilt by association; it's guilt by participation. As CAC chairman, Mr. Obama was lending moral and financial support to Mr. Ayers and his radical circle. That is a story even if Mr. Ayers had never planted a single bomb 40 years ago.
