POPSWhat's Your Underlying Condition? "Deep in our genes, there may very well be another underlying condition that determines in part whether a virus will cause us mild or no disease, or severe illness and death."

POPSFighting Over Shrinking Resources The photograph is of a Turkana woman in Northern Keyna sitting by a goat the dry spell has forced her to kill and sell. I think it's appropriate for us in the States to see these unpleasant images after our filling our bellies this Thanksgiving. The picture speaks a thousand words.

POPSThe Religious Wars "I’m hoping that the latest crop of books marks an armistice in the religious wars, a move away from both religious intolerance and irreligious intolerance. That would be a sign that perhaps we, along with God, are evolving toward a higher moral order."

POPSRacist Worshipers Demand Their Fix How utterly disturbing the image was and anyone who would label it controlling and censoring to take that image down must be mentally challenged to not be able to understand how it may feel to be part of a race that has been historically compared to monkeys by RACISTS. But that doesn't surprise me because that would require thought, empathy, and compassion for someone else instead of his Lily-white wanna-be-rich ass.

POPSTheir Goals Where in the HELL was the outrage of these IDIOTS when George W. Bush dragged the rest of the country--not so much kicking and screaming--as shocked and awed into a mountain of federal debt and it's failure to respond to the worst natural disaster in US history???? I'll tell ya where--right there behind him every step of the way supporting his RICH lode of corruption, contempt for law, reckless disregard for national security, blundering of foreign policy, SLEAZE, and stupidity. Not to mention their savagery toward any critic and ferocious partisanship. Our short national attention span is their best friend. Well, guess what? I didn't buy what they were selling the first time and I don't feel sorry for the poor demented souls who spent their cash making Sarah smile.

POPSInsane But Legal "According to James' phone bill, NCIC charged her $37.40 for the brief, in-the-neighborhood collect call, $4.74 in regulatory fees and taxes, and an extra $2.95 just for the hell of it (the bill calls this NCIC's "billing cost recovery fee").

POPSIn Search Of The Perfect Diva "Some upend expectations. Susan Boyle, the singing-contest Cinderella whose debut album will be released this week, is the prime example. The stout, double-chinned, middle-age singer is the kind of woman who should have only personality going for her. When she opened up her mouth on "Britain's Got Talent" to reveal a voice brimming with a golden glow, people's bewilderment soon gave way to delight, not because she seemed to have worked hard to become so good, but because she didn't: Boyle was a natural beauty in disguise."

POPSThe Bill Is Enough To Make You Sick "Instead, it's a snapshot of a healthcare system gone mad, in which doctors are discouraged, hospitals go out of business and costs are inflated in a shell game between health insurance companies and medical service providers, while the patients who pay their bills get shafted."

POPSWhy They WANT Obama To Fail Who in the FUCK would make a clip title like "A Failed Presidency Is Now Unavoidable"? Just because you keep trying to ram it down our throats that you hate America and want to see it fail doesn't mean the rest of us buy your rhetoric.

POPSAn American Catastrophe "Detroit and its environs are suffering the agonies of the economic damned because of policies, crafted at the highest national and corporate levels, that resulted in the implosion of crucially important components of America’s manufacturing base. Those decisions have had a profound effect on the fortunes not just of Detroit, or even Michigan, but the entire U.S. economy." I can't believe some of the words I read from another clipper describing hard working union members as incompetent and drunks. It's attitudes like his that have absolutely no compassion for loss of good paying jobs, the base of the middle class, and worker's rights to share some of the profits they helped create. It's small, petty, greedy, and jealous thinking with a superior ass attitude that the working man/woman doesn't deserve as good as himself.

POPSWhy Hate? "Hate can be sparked by greed, or fear, or a tribe bonding together in opposition to another. People looking to belong will hate others to fit into a group, he said. With all the political conflict in the United States, it can seem that hate is on the rise. Some people seem to hate President Obama. Some hate Muslims. Some hate homosexuals."

POPSGratitude's Grace “Gratitude arises from a specific circumstance — being given a gift or done a favor — but depends less upon that,” Ms. Visser writes, “than on the receiver’s whole life, her character, upbringing, maturity, experience, relationships with others, and also on her ideals, including her idea of the sort of person she is or would like to be.” The next time you read a comment that is so lacking in compassion for members of our society remember that gratitude requires compassion and stirs us to fill the societal cracks people fall through by thanking others through our actions as a society.

POPSThe Human Element I've known many sportsmen/women who love nature and hunting. Their efforts actually strengthen the deer herd by keeping the buck/doe ratio in check, keeping the deer population from being over bred and diseased, supplemental feeding of the right vitamins and minerals throughout the year, etc. I've picked up countless deer antlers in the woods and used them for all kinds of projects. The vile people who spot-light or run these animals on ATV for antlers or whatever make me ill. I'm an owner of a ATV and I ride it on my property ONLY. Anything else is disrespectful of other's and it affects those people who are responsible. Is there a solution to some who will break the law for material gain? It's the human element I suppose. One I abhor.

POPSIs Doomsday Coming? And please don't be delusional enough to label this film "Al Qaeda Propaganda". It's a movie, not your paranoid version of "whatever" you can connect to terrorism.

POPSDr. King's Prophetic Condemnation Of The Church The next time you see so called "Christians" who claim to love Jesus try to play God by saying some people are better than others, then remember Dr. King's words: "Some have been dismissed from their churches, have lost the support of their bishops and fellow ministers. But they have acted in the faith that right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant. Their witness has been the spiritual salt that has preserved the true meaning of the gospel in these troubled times. They have carved a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment.”

POPSA Real Bawlfest For Our Country Was George W. Bush's presidency one of the worst in U.S. history? You hear the question asked and you have to say to yourself that Bush's attacks on civil liberties and privacy, on government accountability, on the middle class and the poor, on FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, on a country that hadn't attacked and didn't threaten us, on truth itself--have created this mess we are currently in--one that will take years to correct. Yet some poor deluded souls in "all their bliss" still look to George W. Bush as someone who had good personal intentions instead of realizing he was quite possibly one of the most incompetent Presidents in the history of our nation. Here is a big thank you--for professing to care so much about our servicemen and women in Iraq by failing to supply sufficient body armor and betraying veterans by cutting health benefits. It's a crying shame; for sure.

POPSOne Reason Not To Spend 10 Minutes and 35 Seconds With John Piper He gets a "A" for his efforts at fear mongering. "As the church continues to debate the issue of homosexuality, we find ourselves facing another culture of fear. Many in the church fear those who are other, who are different, and are able to find ways to manipulate scripture to support this fear. And it certainly doesn’t help when extremely influential Christian leaders like John Piper make absolutely ridiculous statements about the connection between a freak tornado and an ELCA meeting. I have to wonder if even John Piper really believes what he has written – or whether this is a convenient way to support the discrimination and hate of the LGBT community. This is conspiratorial bunk that uses the bible as a weapon of ideology, not a source to find God's grace."

POPSA Tale Of Two Women There is a world of difference in my previous clip "Triumph Of A Dreamer", a woman who overcame many obstacles to improving her life and this tale of ingratitude. Compare the stories. Poor Sarah Palin elects to portray herself as a victim again and again as she laughs all the way to the bank. I don't know who is more pathetic--the idiots who pre-ordered this trash or Ms. Palin.

POPSTriumph Of A Dreamer "Tererai’s husband eventually agreed that she could take the children to America — as long as he went too. An impossible dream had come true, but it soon looked like a nightmare. Tererai and her family had little money and lived in a ramshackle trailer, shivering and hungry. Her husband refused to do any housework — he was a man! — and coped by beating her. Tererai found herself eating from trash cans, and she thought about quitting — but felt that doing so would let down other African women. At one point the university tried to expel Tererai for falling behind on tuition payments. A university official, Ron Beer, intervened on her behalf and rallied the faculty and community behind her with donations and support."
