POPSWhat is the hidden cost of your £2 latte? More from the piece: Black Gold - which cost £325,000 to make - has made waves at film festivals in Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, Rome and all over America. It was shown to MPs at Westminster earlier this year. Next Saturday, the Francis brothers are to speak at a preview screening at the Guardian Hay Festival in Hay-on-Wye, and the film goes on general release the following week. Nick said: 'We want to make people think about what's at the bottom of the coffee cup, and that has set alarm bells ringing in the big companies. Questions are being asked about how they can talk a lot about corporate responsibility yet not pay coffee farmers a decent price. We've had shareholders and employees of those companies writing to us saying, "We didn't know this." One worker in Starbucks said he was never going to serve latte in the same way again.

POPSThe joke is finally on Barack Obama For those of us who are no fans of Obama....just a fun article that sums up his campaign fairly well. FTA: "..when Obama was asked what he thought about being called arrogant, well, he said he was 'above having to answer that question.'"

POPSIsrael 'has 150 nuclear weapons' Most experts estimate that Israel has between 100 and 200 nuclear warheads, largely based on information leaked to the Sunday Times newspaper in the 1980s by Mordechai Vanunu, a former worker at the country's Dimona nuclear reactor. The US, a key ally of Israel, has in general followed the country's policy of "nuclear ambiguity", neither confirming or denying the existence of its assumed arsenal.

POPSCarter: Israel has 150 nukes Given Israel's habit of invading others, is it any wonder other nations want to protect themselves? They are responsible to their people for national security, and see Israel (and the USA) as likely aggressors. And why shouldn't they, given recent history?

POPSWhat Phase Two Senate Intelligence Report Says About Saddam's Hospitality Postwar information supports prewar assessments and statements that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was in Baghdad and that al Qaeda was present in northern Iraq. But now, even in a partisan report designed to attack the Bush administration's credibility, the Senate Intelligence Committee has admitted that Bush and his officials were right to argue that Saddam was harboring al Qaeda fugitives. Both prewar and postwar intelligence assessments confirm their view. And while the Senate Intelligence Committee got this issue right, it got many others wrong. The report is not even internally consistent and the committee simply ignored numerous pieces of information that got in the way of some of its conclusions. Iraq and al Qaeda did not have a cooperative relationship. ommittee ignored the best evidence-Iraqi intelligence documents discovered in postwar Iraq.

POPSGoose Egg Award goes to PETA: Snowbound Cattle not worth saving My 1st 2007 Goose Egg Award goes to that animal rights activist group affectionatly known as PETA. Their stance on not helping to rescue snowbound herds shows them for what they really are just a bunch of wacko loonies advocating protection of animals only as far as it promotes their DON'T EAT MEAT agenda. Their main focus is shutting down industry and roadblocking our rights to eat meat in their misquided effort to "save the planet". Well here would have been an excellent opportunity to do jus that help save the animals.

POPSHillary's Seeds of self-destruction But it’s an insult to white voters as well, including white working-class voters. It’s true that there are some whites who will not vote for a black candidate under any circumstance. But the United States is in a much better place now than it was when people like Richard Nixon, George Wallace and many others could make political hay by appealing to the very worst in people, using the kind of poisonous rhetoric that Senator Clinton is using now.

POPSCocky Ignorance An attempt to appear relevant, authoritative, confrontational toward soon-to-be subordinates. Political hay over a serious issue.
