POPSWhat I Notice About Palin-Bashers 5. A lot of them are ready to vouch for other women in power who are relatively homely and frumpy, like Hillary Clinton. 6. They breathe hard and their pulse quickens. I haven't run into too many people who are ready to calmly explain Sarah Palin's lack of qualifications. 7. Their laughter, in response to Palin jokes, is forced. 8. Their lofty opinions of the minimal requirements for the offices Palin has sought, or might seek, is selective. When the topic of conversation shifts to Joe Biden, suddenly it seems the Vice Presidency doesn't demand a whole lot out of anyone. 9. They don't seem to think it takes a whole lot to govern Alaska, or to even live there. They don't appear to think very highly of Alaskans. 10. A lot of people claim to like her personally, just don't "feel" (see Item #4 above) that she's "right";

POPSLate Night Monkey Business OK, the David Letterman Top Tens are piling up. Here’s mine, posted on Twitter last night while the show was being aired. So I’m claiming the first: ”No 10. Because he can really bossanova.” “No. 9. Has writers for his pickup lines” “No. 8. Because behind that wrinkly American Gothic exterior pounds the heart of an irresistible love monkey.” “No. 7. Hey, lots of women like ‘em old, rich and married. Heh heh.” “No. 6. What are you going to do, impeach me?” “No. 5. Because Leno has the cars, and I needed an expensive hobby.” “No. 4. Because the Obama administration isn’t funny enough. Heh heh heh. Ba-dum-dum.” “No 3. Because I don’t like broccoli. Ha ha!” “No. 2. This has bin a test of the Emrgncy Paparazzi System. It was only a test. If this had bin a real paparazzi emrgncy … heh” “And No. 1. My cardiologist ordered me to get more exercise. Heh heh heh. Exercise. More of it. Heh heh. Ba-dum-dum”

POPSHumour is an "act of aggression" (continued ...) "Until the sexual revolution of the 1960s women rarely became comediennes in public or private because most humour is an act of aggression, she said. "A study in the late 1980s showed that men use sexual jokes as a way of verbally undressing a woman who rebuts his advances; his humour was aggressive in essence." More @ source.

POPSSotomayor--if she would have said "women" instead of "men" ?? Well, we all make jokes, minorities can make jokes about whites and whites cannot make jokes about anybody, except themselves!!! I'm an NDN and I find this peculiarly funny. Hell, I don't like it....Sotomayor, made the remark and found it to be scrutinized years later. If she didn't want a public job, I bet she would have stuck to her STATEMENT about "white men" don't have it !! compared to a "hispanic woman" in a similar situation. It may be true, But politically, no one can admit!!!!! Sucks much

POPSDear David Letterman.... “At the end of the day, David Letterman’s show is David Letterman’s show, but as Jay Leno recently pointed out, by being overtly political either way, you alienate half of the country. As someone who has always been a fan of David Letterman, I have become more and more disappointed and yes, dare I say disgusted about his attitude toward Sarah Palin and her daughters. Is it too much to ask to leave a 14-year-old girl out of a late-night joke? Apparently in today’s media, yes it is, especially when it is the daughter of a Republican politician.” *** “Firing Mr. Letterman would send a clear message that CBS will not tolerate any of its employees — even an established media figure like Mr. Letterman — making demeaning and degrading comments about women.”

POPSLet's Break Down This Letterman/Palin Deal
That's right, Ann Dunham Soetoro was born on 11/29/42, she married Barack Obama, Sr. on 2/2/61, and their son was born on 8/4/61. So lil' Barry would've been conceived somewhere around his mom's 18th birthday, most likely before, with a man who was not her husband. And his parents' subsequent marriage wasn't even legal, because Barack Sr. was still married to a woman in Kenya. Ann was in the same situation then as Bristol is now, except the father hung around a little longer. And she didn't have a seething mob dogging her heels and then running back to their news networks and late-night talk shows. "It doesn't matter which Palin daughter got knocked up in that fictional scenario," you cry. "It's totally irrelevant to the joke!" Hey, don't tell me. Tell Willow Palin. She's the one who went to a baseball game with her mom and dad, and got slammed for it on national TV by a very wealthy and prominent older gentleman who has a history of problems dealing with women.

POPSLawmaker Wants Letterman Fired
Yeah, he made a joke. Alot of us thought he was talking about the "now 18 yrs old Bristol" getting knocked up by A Rod. Bristol is doing what 10's of thousands of young adults are doing, getting pregnant without benefit of having the father around. Where is the surprise that this joke was laid out there. Gov Palin is pushing this" young girl, raping young women" way too far. This is alot for just one joke Letterman made. In her quote on Letterman inviting the Gov and her husband, she said, "......... no intention of providing a rating's boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show,""Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman." They can't believe Americans are thinking Letterman would think of Wilow as an object of attention. I liked Palin, but she is going in the direction of Jerry Falwell with this DRAMA. Being an Independent in this country is the only way of being assured of not getting sucked into the extremists of both parties.
