POPSCanada exports asbestos...WTH? "Canada is the only developed nation still producing asbestos, called a deadly threat by the International Labour Organization, the World Health Organization, the International Association for Cancer Research and many more health agencies."

POPSBarack Obama hits the nail on the head I just don't see how anyone can disagree with this sentiment from Obama. His vision for a new way of dealing with issues and people - and his apparent ability to carry it out - is truly inspiring!! I feel like he is the right medicine for the Bush Flu this country has caught.

POPSObama's wife says this is his one and only shot I'm not exactly sure why, but this really bothers me. I am definitely considering voting for Obama, but when it comes to running for president, i honestly think you need someone who isn't going to be told by their spouse whether they can run or not. You need someone so determined to get the job done...and a spouse who encourages them do do so. I don't hold this against them at all personally, but i don't know that he should be president of the United States if his wife has this kind of pull.

POPSAre These Neocons crazy or what? This story removes all doubt It is absolutely amazing how myopic these neocons actually are. I sat at my TV watching as Bolton, the president, Dana Perrino, etc, etc, etc, kept spinning the meaning of the NIE with all kinds of reasons as to why it is wrong. Some of them have the temerity to declare that the Intelligence agencies are twisting their findings in order to make Bush look bad. I have come to the conclusion that the neocons and far right Republicans have finally lost it completely. I sincerely believe that the public is fed up with the lies, and manipulations as well as the overt fear-mongering. Bush and his henchmen are bald face liars, and they should be thrown out of office and tried as the war criminals they are.

POPSSchwarzenegger to the rescue of homeowners I have to say, i think this guy has been an awesome governor. I love how aggressive and ballsy he is. Especially love his approach regarding the environment and alternative sources of energy. I wish he could run for president.

POPSTripping over a shifting ethical line
Has it always been this way? No. Read on: "The agency's travel patterns during the Bush administration, detailed in internal agency documents, differ from those of the Clinton era. Ann Brown, who served as chairman from 1994 to 2001, traveled only at the expense of the agency or of media organizations that sponsored appearances where she announced product recalls" "Some say the commission's approach to gift travel points to a Bush administration philosophy that favors engaging corporations in policymaking that affects them. "This administration apparently has taken the position that speaking and appearing before the regulated community, even where there are enforcement matters pending, does not create the appearance of a conflict," said Kenneth Gross, an ethics lawyer at Skadden, Arps."These are difficult and subjective lines to be drawn," he said. "Prior administrations have drawn that line in a different place." "Gift Travel" How can this be ethical? :?

POPSUnbelievable Ignorance I first heard about this method years ago during my high school days at a military academy. How can these people profess such ignorance in their pursuit of high office? How can we be expected to trust them?

POPSMoral Majoritists Love Hookers For over three decades, Privette has been one of the best known and most outrageous spokesmen for “family values” and Christian extreme right politics in North Carolina. In the 1970s, he was serving as minister at the North Kannapolis Baptist Church when he joined the tide of evangelicals entering politics that included the Moral Majority and Christian Coalition. He served in the N.C. Legislature from 1984 to 1992, and has been a member of the board of commissioners in Cabarrus County since 1998

POPSWake up America. The real terrorists are in our highest office. This is my blog. This is who I am. In Vietnam I was wounded three times. Almost lost my life twice. What I saw in Vietnam mirrors what I see now. The only difference was we were able to get out of Nam. I don't see us getting out of this situation. Not with the warmongers that we have stealing this country for themselves. The truth is obvious to people with common sense. I just don't see much of that in this country.

POPSRupert Murdoch Loves The Communist Chinese Government Does politics really make strange bedfellows? Is it so odd that Murdoch should support another corrupt, brutal and authoritarian goverment? We should read this and ask ourselves: what is it that Rupert Murdoch and his ilk really believe in? Are they really conservatives or simply autocrats mascarading behind a "small government" agenda? What is meant by "small" anyway? From one angle, the smallest government possible is a single dictator, while the largest government possible is a democracy where everyone holds equal share in the governance of their society.
