POPSJoe Wilson Exposed as Pathological Liar
When he was in the sixth grade, he lied about painting swastikas on Chung's Low-Country Chinese Restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, which he mistook for a Jewish Temple. "We had to wash out that boy's mouth so much," said Mamie Pittypat, 93, retired principal of Wilson's alma mater, the Brigadier General Hamilton Prioleau Bee Elementary School, "that he had bubbles coming out of his ass!". Throughout his high school career, he insisted that he was really the love child of Strom Thurmond and Dolly Parton. His lying prowess in college soon made him legendary, earning him the nickname "Jivin' Joe", which he was known to hate because it sounded "so NEGRO". He was such a prolific liar while attending the University of South Carolina School of Law that they made him Valedictorian, and he received more offers from real estate firms than any graduate in the school's history. He went on to make a fortune selling condemned buildings to illegal immigrants before he co-founded the law fir

POPSObama Too Obsessed With Bush-Bashing To Do Anything Worthwhile
Despite his reluctance to “look backward,” Obama made clear in April that he was deferring to Holder on whether to prosecute Bush administration lawyers who drafted the legal justification for the interrogation techniques employed by the CIA on terror detainees. Three months later, Holder is leaning toward appointing a prosecutor, and he could name one in a matter of weeks, a decision apparently made after reading a classified version of the CIA inspector general’s report on enhanced interrogation techniques and other material. But if a prosecutor is appointed, it could be virtually impossible to limit the scope of the investigation, Rivkin said, noting that once a special prosecutor is appointed, he or she is given “unrestrained resources” and expected to find wrongdoing. As a result, a special prosecutor’s investigation broadens and shifts course, distracting the attention of Washington " as in the cases of former President Bill Clinton’s real estate dealings . . . .

POPSNevada, Arizona & California Top Country's Foreclosure Filings Once it starts to go over the cliff, it's gone." In other parts of the country, the foreclosure wave was barely a ripple — at least until it started swamping major banks that had invested heavily in mortgages. Banking giant Wachovia Corp., for example, was hammered after California and Florida customers of one mortgage firm it bought began defaulting at high rates. The risks of such lending were spread so broadly among financial institutions that, when the loans went bad, it drove the national credit crisis, says Christopher Mayer, who studies real estate at Columbia Business School. The Obama administration on Wednesday detailed a $75 billion plan to keep more homeowners from slipping into foreclosure by helping them refinance loans or reduce their monthly payments. But that effort could face political challenges because most of the foreclosure problem has been so concentrated in a few areas, says Brookings Institution researcher Alan Mallach.

POPSA Backlash Against Obama's Budget LOBBYISTS PLAN PROTESTS So business is hitting hard on the theme that the budget will squeeze vitality out of the economy. Says Jay Timmons, head of government affairs at the National Association of Manufacturers: "They're taking a tremendous amount of money out of the private sector, which will hamper the ability of business to create and retain jobs." The American Petroleum Institute plans to battle Obama's proposals to reduce the industry's tax breaks through presentations to newspaper editorial boards and visits to Washington by top oil company executives and employees, plus drop-ins by ordinary shareholders. The messages: Obama will increase U.S. reliance on foreign oil by eliminating the deduction for drilling in the U.S. and put at risk up to 6 million jobs directly and indirectly reliant on the industry. "They are going to push more of the investment offshore," said Mark Kibbe, the institute's chief lobbyist.

POPSWhere Are They Now: The Clinton Impeachment
Elected twice without ever achieving the majority of the popular vote, President Clinton become the only elected president in the history of the U.S. to be impeached, disbarred from practicing law, and accused of rape by a credible witness. As a chief beneficiary of President Reagan's world vision and the high technology boom of the 1990s, President Clinton enjoyed many of the benefits of residing over relative peace and prosperity. Beneath this thin veneer of economic prosperity, however, existed the most corrupt and scandalous administration in history. Consensual sex may be a private matter, but when a sexual relationship influences a public court case involving the President of the United States, the consensual sex becomes publicly relevant. The Clinton administration holds the all-time record for having the greatest number of associates who have: resigned under fire, pleaded the Fifth, fled the country, gone to jail, or died under mysterious circumstances.

POPSGovernor's Office Deluged With Calls On Atheist Sign In Capitol Rotunda The Capitol has had a holiday tree, provided by the Association of Washington Business, for 19 years. In 2006, it was joined by a menorah sponsored by a Seattle Jewish group. That prompted a lawmaker from Spokane to stage a protest at the Capitol, demanding the holiday tree be called a "Christmas tree." It also led a local real estate agent to sue the state to allow the nativity display depicting the birth of Jesus. Gregoire, a Democrat, and Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna put out a joint statement Wednesday noting that the federal lawsuit led the state to create a policy allowing groups to sponsor a display "regardless of that individual's or group's views."
