POPSUPI’s Martin Sieff Charges ABC With Biased "Double-Standard"
In fact, Seiff really ripped into Gibson and ABC on several points. The double-standard Gibson applied to Palin, compared with the uncritical media platforms repeatedly offered to Obama, who has had zero executive experience running anything, was especially striking. ABC and Gibson focused on Palin as if she were running right now for the presidency rather than the vice presidency. He and other media pundits, by contrast, have never asked the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, if he has ever had to make a decision on anything. Go and read this spot on piece by Martin Sieff. Revel in this cage-match, smackdown from one Old Media hand to another. Ah, that satisfaction of being in the lead. Palin’s lip stick monkey wrench is sweet, indeed. by Warner Todd Huston: newsbusters, townhall, men's news daily, many more http://www.upi.com/news/issueoftheday/2008/09/12/ABCs_Gibson_grilled_Palin_hard_but_it_may_backfire/UPI-81241221234472/

POPSINTERNET CENSORSHIP (Or, Ut-oh, I'm screwed!) Blurring the line between libel and valid criticism is actually fairly difficult, but the threat of a law suit, valid or not, is enough to make most smaller businesses cave, since although they'd win in the end and the law is on their side, the costs of fighting it out in court would be business-ending. So as of right now I'd like to clarify: If I gave anyone the impression that I was suggesting that Uzbekistani billionaire Alisher Usmanov was the secret male lover of the late Turkmenistani dictator Saparmurat "Turkmenbashi" Niyazov, here or on any other sight, that impression was mistaken. I was talking about the other Uzbekistani billionaire, Walisher Wusmanov.

POPSRaving Rabbids invade the planet! One day, my girlfriend and I saw an animated GIF featuring these critters. It was too dang funny, and we found it irresistable — we just had to track down the source! Sure enough, we found the homeworld of the Rabbids, and they stole our hearts. Be sure to see this video for how they lay the smackdown on Michel Ancel: http://youtube.com/watch?v=sbuT6JoR5cU
