POPS Five sisters killed in Gaza while they slept Israel expects us to swallow its lame duck excuse that their attack on Gaza is justified because they are protecting Israel from home made rockets. Of course their real objective is to terrorise and demoralise the Palestinian people by beheading their democratically elected government. The Israeli government wants a compliant submissive Palestinian people who accept the Israeli occupation. Lets hope that Pakistan doesn't use the same justification to attack the US in retaliation for the bombing of its borders in June 2008 when US warplanes killed innocent civilians, including children.

POPSGlobal Warming opens up new trade route? This is probably going to mean some positive feedback cycles in the albido affect and possibly mess with some polar bears...but on the other hand any bets as to when its going to get opened up for ecotourism? Also I wonder how this will affect the whole debate over ANWAR, with increased year round sea access?

POPSMcCain, Palin and New Orleans McCain's going to New Orleans: pure Machiavellianism. Listen to the Palin video. Go to youtube if there is no sound. She is an effective propagandist for oil in the way she minimizes Anwar. The majority of the American people want to drill. History show that the majority is often wrong.

POPSThis Day In History: An Open Letter To Google Dear Google comrades Sergei and Larry! The Party looks kindly at your attempts to correct and improve history by unobtrusively modifying the Google logo on notable calendar dates. For years you have zealously informed the masses about progressive and useful events like Earth Day or Earth Hour, while purposefully ignoring Memorial Day (no logo change on this reactionary American holiday). Most recently, you enlightened the unwashed about the Spanish artist Velázquez on June 6 without mentioning the Allied Invasion of Normandy on D-Day, a celebration of which would indeed be offensive to National Socialists. ~ The time is ripe for us to reinforce your amateurish efforts with our brand of historical revisionism that stands on a firm scientific foundation of the Party doctrine. The next big holiday is Independence Day. Review the following list of Party-recommended events and logos for mandatory inclusion.

POPSJimmy Carter's Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech (2002) "Ladies and gentlemen, war may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children. The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices. God gives us a capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes. And we must."

POPSMuslim cricketers in Pakistan An odd little story about the fact that the Pakistani national cricket team is mostly made up of devout Muslims. Reminds me of the Colorado Rockies.

POPSDaddy, that man was nasty to me It is a serious matter if the President of another country accuses a journalist of assisting rebels to assassinate him. But serious as it is, isn't it a bit precious for a journalist to ask President SBY for protection? The police and the courts should be the proper institutions to handle such allegations, if they had indeed been made. Getting the Press Council and assorted journalistic andpro-free press associations is also fair game. But to go running to the President just because Horta made an allegation? Precious. Precious.
