POPSMath And Protocol (Or rules, points and yardage) Only one problem. There still isn’t any actual plan, and it still needs to get through Congress. Does this give him the momentum he never really had? Sure, for about 15 minutes after last night’s speech. But you know what they say. It ain’t over till it’s over. They might even pass something remotely resembling whatever it is he’s been trying to put over.

POPSCensorship is better done with snark than regulation? I guess it's bottom up, from the people.

POPSKellogg's Brand Reputation Takes A Hit After Dumping Phelps? Dumping Phelps Over Bong Rip Damages Kellogg's Brand Reputation Nicholas Carlson Feb. 23, 2009 When Kellogg announced it would not renew its endorsement contract with Olympic medalist Michael Phelps after a photo of the athelete smoking pot surfaced, it may have cost the food company its sterling reputation, reports company reputation index Vanno. Out of the 5,600 company reputations Vanno monitors, Kellogg ranked ninth before it booted Phelps. Now it's ranked 83. Not even an industry-wide peanut scare inflicted as much damage on the food company's reputation. A Vanno representative put together their chart. http://www.businessinsider.com/dumping-phelps-over-bong-rip-damages-kelloggs-brand-reputation-2009-2

POPS Limbaugh Couldn’t Have Been Happier …
Now media and political analysts say the new commander in chief made a whopper of a mistake. “He’s the president of the United States and all Rush Limbaugh is a radio talk show host,” said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers Magazine. “Once again, Rush Limbaugh raises the stature of our industry to the world stage.” Professor Thomas Patterson of Harvard’s Kennedy School said Obama’s snark “elevates” Limbaugh as a figure. “It strikes me that the president of the United States singles you out, somehow that means you are a counter-figure on some level. That’s a mistake.” Brian Maloney, author of the Radio Equalizer blog, called it a political blunder of “epic proportions,” noting the story was picked up worldwide. “Obama has now basically said that ‘my key political opposition is Rush Limbaugh,’ ” said Maloney, who said Limbaugh’s ratings were probably five times higher than normal yesterday. “He must have been popping champagne corks over the weekend.”

POPSThe Constitution Lives! Almost killed by rebubbacans, making a comeback.
Members of the area's Uighur community reacted to the decision with jubilation. "We won!" one attendee exclaimed after the hearing, setting off a loud cheer. Scores of detainees are challenging their detentions in federal court after winning a Supreme Court ruling in June that gave them the right to have their cases reviewed by federal judges under the legal doctrine of habeas corpus. The government suffered a major setback in June when a federal appeals court found the evidence against one Uighur to be so weak that it compared the government's legal theories to a nonsensical 19th-century poem, Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark." The court ordered the man, Huzaifa Parhat, released, transferred or offered a new military hearing. The government chose not to retry Parhat and announced it would no longer treat him as an enemy combatant. It subsequently did the same for four others and added the final 12 late last month.

POPSLike we needed more evidence that the Bush presidency talks crap... I don't know whether I'm more horrified that the comparison to "The Hunting of the Snark" is apt or that our government is keeping these folks at Guantanamo for fear of mistreatment back home. Maybe they're afraid that the water used for water-boarding won't be from a Brita pitcher. We suck.
