POPSKnitted Dissected Frog... I know...it's strange. I don't know whether to call it ingenious, artistic, funny, or somebody has too much time on their hands. The internet reveals some very odd people. :~) Did it make you smile?

POPSBush, Obama, and Terror Anything that opposes one's particular opinion is now called a "political attack"?? So how are people to explain their positions that differ with anothers? Pres. Bush' comments are consistent with his entire Administration's position. The real problem is that *the shoe fits* but it's not the one Obama wants to wear right now. And frankly, Pres. Bush could have been referring to Mr. Carter who has also been used as a tool of the enemies of Israel and the US.

POPSIslamic Hatred in the Heartland Some of these sound very familiar. Such a person as this is invited to speak at our *universities* to present their ideologies and anti-Americanism...and then those who disagree with them rise up in response and protest and are called intolerant, racists, ignorant, backwards, etc... This is called sowing the seeds for our own destruction. The very freedoms that make us great are being used to bring up (and out) the very worst from within us.

POPSObama advisor: Jerusalem must be included in peace talks "...as opposed to the current Israeli administration which is not.." So the Israeli governments that resist and oppose the sovereign lose of Jerusalem *must* make the concession? This alone is enough to confirm that I would never vote for Obama.

POPSWho Is Really Responsible For the High Prices You Pay for Gasoline? When will the American people stand up and say enough!? Why weren't we insistent *before* we arrived at this point? So typical of human nature...let's just wait till things are really bad and then we *have* to do something. FTA: "It's wake-up time for America. Maybe we should investigate the blame-throwing investigators in Congress." And a more "blame-throwing" Congress I have never seen.

POPSDrilling for Oil..in Downtown L.A. This is soooo interesting. I had no idea this was going on. FTA: "California is the nation's biggest consumer of gasoline and is fourth among oil-producing states behind Texas, Alaska and Louisiana..."

POPSStudy: Stay-at-Home Mom Worth Nearly $117,000 a Year Amazing to see what the world spends $$ on. I don't know if I'd call myself a "chief executive officer"; that sounds a little exalted. :~) What's missing is the care for elderly family members which is becoming an additional responsibility too. Plus the extra baby-sitting you do when someone in the neighborhood finds out there's an *at home* Mom close by.

POPSAl-Qaeda Iraq leader 'arrested' This is wait-and-see since he was said to have been killed last year, I think. The word "detained" is troubling, indicating that there might be a chance for his release; but maybe the BBC was being polite & diplomatic. He had a $5m bounty on his head. Even if he has been captured an amazing *escape* is always possible.

POPSSenate Democrats Offer Energy Plan Amid Price Surge Now, why would they want to "...consolidate previous failed attempts"? :~( No real solutions here; just bandaids, blaming, and blustering. How long will it be before Congress gets the message that WE are serious about these energy problems? Just like everything else, our legislative branch of government talks forever and all the while accomplishing nothing until it's a Crisis? Then they look to their typical scapegoats instead of looking towards themselves.

POPSHudson teens charged with defamation in nude photos prank The girl sent the pictures over a cell phone...to her boyfriends....and then complains because other students saw them?! No case here, in my opinion. When will young women begin to have some self-respect and common sense. Humiliation lasts a very long time and has long-term emotional repercussions. And I'm certain she isn't the only one who's done this.

POPSNagin Picked as Superdelegate Oh Jeez.... I really, really want to be more positive about the Democrat Party....about the future of America.....but I just can't. :~(

POPSGas Comparisons..... (sigh) When will the US act? How long will Congress ignore it's citizens? Do you know China is in Cuba sucking out our oil off the Atlantic coast? I support ALL efforts towards energy independence.

POPSSenate Democrats Eye Gas Price Relief Bill So NOW they decide that it's time to do something? Amazing. And their suggestions....those too are amazing. All the while we sit on top of our own resources and limit our own independent options. Politicians. A pox on all of them.

POPSWright's Voice Could Spell Doom for Obama I am so grateful that Obama's association with this man has come out. The American people would have been voting for a fabrication of the American media instead of the person the Sen. truly is. Not only would they have chosen (and some still are) a man completely unqualified and inexperienced but someone who mouthed the proper platitudes to deceive the gullible multitudes.

POPSHamas disrupts fuel supplies to Gaza Remember a few days ago the UN was railing against Israel for cutting off the supply? All the while there was fuel stored there but commandeered by the PA, I think. Now when Israel sends more in...what happens? These "militiamen" Want the Gazans to be deprived. How else can they fire up their citizens, fellow Arabs, the EU, and the UN (not to mention the US) to pressure Israel to do *still more* for nothing in return? I mean, look at the great photo-op.

POPSBabies seized by Robert Mugabe's forces as Zimbabwe hounds voters So.......Who will rescue these children and their families from this madman? "Imperialist" America can not; we are accused of vile motives where ever we go. The World is full of these thugs. What is the answer? Just look the other way? Damned if we do....damned if we don't. Any volunteers?

POPSDestroy Iran's nukes to save our cities I think the threat is a lot worse than our leaders are letting on. The article points out that because al-qaeda is such a splintered group, with pockets of their terrorist everywhere, and practically worshiping death, they are not bothered by the concern of retaliation. Their #1 goal is destruction of us and our civilization....as Bin Laden sits in his cave.
