POPSThe Open House Party at the White House Luaus, Superbowl parties, salsa dancing, dunking booth, golf outings, movies with the 3d glasses, breathless plane trips to dinner, Beverly Hills, hula-hooping....wtf? Oprah and Clooney. Fergie and the Easter bunny.... The economy crumbles while the White House parties their ass off. Ridiculous and embarrassing. And the Democrats say they best represent the common man, Joe Sixpack? Please. The common man is in bankruptcy or being foreclosed on and working day in and day out. The is a bleeping travesty.

POPS Obama Tells American Businesses to Drop Dead If Microsoft, perhaps our most competitive company, has to abandon the U.S. in order to continue to thrive, who exactly is going to stay? At issue is Obama’s policy to end the deferral of multinational taxation. The U.S. now has about the highest combined corporate tax rate, second only to Japan among industrialized countries. That rate is so high that U.S. firms have an enormous disadvantage versus competitors. The average corporate tax rate for the major developed countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in 2008 was about 27 percent, more than 10 percentage points lower than the U.S. rate. So the question is, why does Obama advocate a policy that so flies in the face of everything that economists have learned? I have to admit I am at a loss. Maybe it is good politics to bash American corporations, and Obama isn’t really serious about making this change happen.

POPSOverwhelming Demand? Reading this post was surreal at best. Adding new servers? Overwhelming demand? It just doesn't seem right when combined with Microsoft. What's going on?

POPSYahoo Stake Could Be Big Bucks For Icahn Carl Icahn might be able to quickly turn his new stake in Yahoo into a big windfall. Reports suggest the billionaire is considering pushing the Web portal to reconsider a buyout offer from Microsoft. If he's successful, his 50 million Yahoo shares could be worth as much as $33 each. He's been buying those shares in the past couple weeks when they were south of $27 each.

POPSA Reprieve for Windows XP Ballmer can spin the stats however he wants, but there is still tremendous resistance to Vista both from corporate and home users. Keeping XP as an option would be a smart use, because if consumers are forced to choose Vista, they might buy a Mac instead.

POPSMicrosoft Threattens Yahoo! If you thought recent developments in the long-lasting battle between Microsoft and the World (or Google, or Europe, or whatever) would cause Microsoft to stop acting like they own the world, YOU'RE WRONG!!! Now, Microsoft threattens Yahoo in buying web-giant through share-holders if the company's board doesn't take Balmer's offer of over 44 billion Dollars.
