POPSMark Steyn: Obama a Tough Guy, at Least With Fox News I don't know why he'd be surprised. When a man has spent his entire adult life in the "community organized" precincts of Chicago, it should hardly be news that much of his Rolodex is made up of either loons or thugs. So when Communications Commissar Mao Ze Dunn starts berating Fox News for not getting into the same Maosketeer costumes as the rest of the press corps, you begin to see why the Chairman might appeal to her as a favorite "political philosopher". So the troika of Dunn, Emanuel and Axelrod were dispatched to the Sunday talk shows to lay down the law. We all know the lines from "The Untouchables" " "the Chicago way," don't bring a knife to a gunfight " and, given the pay czar's instant contract-gutting of executive compensation and the demonization of the health insurers and much else, it's easy to look on the 44th president as an old-style Cook County operator: You wanna do business in this town, you gotta do it through me.

POPSSmart Power! Results May Not Be The Same as Implied or Expected That would be the same Mohammed El-Baradei that, you know, conveniently left out of the IAEA reports the part concerning Iran’s work on nuclear weapons; the same El-Baradei that considers himself a world peacemaker that’s doing God’s work! This is the guy the administration is going to rely on to “coordinate the details” of the Qum inspection schedule and regimen? This is the kind of Smart Power ! that’s guiding our nation’s most urgent and sensitive foreign policy actions; yet another example of the President’s Brilliance! and Judgement! perhaps? It’s been observed by some of his opponents that all of Obama’s promises have an expiration date, but a few months ago nobody would have believed that the time period would become this short! And I guess it’s safe to say that his proclamation that, “a nuclear Iran is unacceptable“, has expired too; after all, they’re just words …

POPSHarley Davidson Clothing Hear the words “Harley Davidson” and you’ll automatically think of a cool motorcycle with a big guy dressed all in black leathers riding it along Route 66…well, that’s what I think of when I hear it! Many guys love to look hard and tough but may not necessarily be interested in owning the best bike in the world.

POPSMy 1933 Nightmare
...as America's post-war hegemony began to erode internationally, and within the country white males were being challenged for their domestic dominance as well. These "Reagan Democrats" " i.e., consummately selfish pricks who were happy to take government largesse when it was helping to bring them into the middle class, but then immediately pulled the ladder up behind themselves afterwards, demanding tax cuts " began to lash out politically, responding to any line of crap that would harmonize with their embarrassing victimization trope by promising a feel-good response offering the muscular bludgeoning of women and dark people, both at home and abroad. In reality, of course, they were voting for a political movement that was talking tough-guy nationalism and scapegoating gays and other out-groups, but purely as a mask for further savaging the prosperity of these very idiot voters supporting their own undoing. In exchange for some cheap rhetoric and the occasional third-world war, they

POPSThe "Generation M" Manifesto More: There's a tectonic shift rocking the social, political, and economic landscape. The last two points above are what express it most concisely. I hate labels, but I'm going to employ a flawed, imperfect one: Generation "M." What do the "M"s in Generation M stand for? The first is for a movement. It's a little bit about age — but mostly about a growing number of people who are acting very differently. They are doing meaningful stuff that matters the most. Those are the second, third, and fourth "M"s… I was (kind of) kidding about seceding before. Here's what it looks like to me: every generation has a challenge, and this, I think, is ours. It's Gen M's job to foot the bill for your profligacy — and create, instead, an authentically, sustainably shared prosperity.

POPSBand of Brothers 101st Airborne Motto "Currahee!" via Antara ~ ~ ~ "Hang tough, big guy," he said. "Your troopers need you back out there." But Petraeus' four stars carried no weight. "There was absolutely no response whatsoever," Petraeus said. "Did you think there was any hope?" Martin asked. "Not really," Petraeus said. "I see his beautiful blue eyes but he's staring straight right through me, and he doesn't know who I am and he doesn’t know I'm there," Joanne said. Petraeus turned to leave, then decided to give it one last try. "I just decided to shout out 'Currihee.'" That's right, "Currihee." It's a Cherokee Indian word that the was the motto for the famous "Brand of Brothers" regiment in the 101st. "We counted 'One, two, three, Currihee,'" Petraeus said. "That's when he kind of sat up in the bed as best as he could," said Brennan's dad Jim. "Like saying, 'I'm in here, I'm in here,'" Joanne said.

POPSBO 'too tired' to give proper welcome to Gordon Brown It's really amazing. Which Presidents were considered too old for the pressures of the job? This guy is what?? 47? He is so far out of his league that the embarrassment to himself and the US will only continue. The last quote says it all and he is completely out of his league. Geezz..our "Commander-in-Chief" and our national Leader. So the majority of our populous did good, huh? s/off.

POPS"I FACED THE ENEMY AND LIVED!" If Salon's publication of these photos helps the military reform its culture and more effectively aid traumatized Iraq War vets before they get suicidal, this family will have done a great service. As the ultimate act of humiliation, the military promised Pvt. Adam Lieberman's mother the charge of defacing government property would go away if she painted over his suicide note ... then they charged him anyway.

POPSWithout Fred Rogers, PBS might not exist today More: Fred spoke for about six minutes total, taking the time to recite lyrics from one of his songs. Fred Rogers: Know that there's something deep inside, that helps us become what we can. For a girl can be someday a lady, and a boy can be someday a man. Senator Pastore: I think it's wonderful. That is just so wonderful. Looks like you just won the twenty million dollars.
