POPSGovernment Financial Collapses: Five States Plead for Bailout
Hey Gov. Schwarzenegger: "Hasta la vista, baby"! Those were your words when you took power as governor promising to prevent this very thing. The taxpaying citizens of the U.S. don't want to bailout out your corrupt state government either, any more than the Banksters or Auto-making Conglomerates. You will lose your governorship next. Hasta la vista, baby. The Terminator seems so prophetic, Calif. ruined. Note New York, California, Ohio, the larger electoral and population states (3 of the top 6), and Massachussetts (birthplace of America liberty) are in financial collapse. (New York City went bankrupt about 20 years ago). This is of the greatest political, as well as economic, significance. The breakup of the U.S. is beginning in this Economic Earthquake of Banks, Corporations, and Governments. It is more a Fiscal Crisis than an economic crisis caused by mismanagement of banks and governments which are now reaping the fruits of the corruption they sowed.

POPSFreebase - a database about everything Part of what makes this open database unique is that it spans domains, but requires that a particular topic exist only once in Freebase -- even if it might normally be found in multiple databases. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger would appear in a movie database as an actor, a political database as a governor, and in a bodybuilder database as a Mr. Universe. In Freebase, however, there is only one topic for Arnold Schwarzenegger that brings all these facets together. The unified topic is a single reconciled identity, which makes it easier to find and contribute information about the linked world we live in.

POPSArnold’s “Budget Fix” Will Only Make Things Worse This is just the tip of the ice when it comes to how much California Gov. arnold's proposed budget cuts will burden the poor; from Medi-cal and a plethora of other healthcare program cuts, the poor and mentally ill will ultimately bear the largest burden for California's budget problems.

POPSThe Reign of Lame Falls Mainly on McCain The winner is Obama because now he can start hanging out in public with Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright again. John McCain is a winner because he can resume buying more houses. And for only the second time in her adult life, Michelle Obama was proud of her country. And we're all winners because we will never again have to hear McCain say, "my friends." After Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election, Hillary Clinton immediately announced that, henceforth, she would be known as "Hillary Rodham Clinton." So maybe Obama can now become B. Hussein Obama, his rightful name. For now, we have a new president-elect. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president. Starting tomorrow, if not sooner.

POPSVERY IMPORTANT: The Battle Over CA Prop 5: Special Interests Overwhelming the Public Interest
Here is picture that sums up much that is wrong with American politics. Five governors of California, Democrats and Republicans, joining forces to oppose something that is indisputably in the public interest. This is an image that could be repeated, with different faces, in region after region of our country, involving issue after issue. Public officials standing against the public good, with the disastrous results on display from Detroit to Wall Street. All suffering from the same destructive force: the power of entrenched special interests to cloud the vision of our leaders, causing them to thwart good sense, good legislation, and the will of the people. In today's version, we have Jerry Brown, Pete Wilson, Gray Davis, George Deukmejian, and Arnold Schwarzenegger coming together to oppose Prop 5, a common sense ballot initiative that seeks to effectively and intelligently tackle the chronic problems facing California's deeply flawed criminal justice system. California's pris

POPSGuess I do hope that the whole organization that is built to monitor the Restaurant Menus will include a cast of thousands. Just how many restaurants are there in Kaleeforniay? What is the penalty for posting incorrect carbohydrates? Can it be possible that civilization has existed for thousands of years without sodium content reporting requirements?
