POPSWhat the Non-Elite Wear You know, I think I'm wearing about fifty bucks worth of clothes right now. We liberal elitists shop at trendy little boutiques like Farm & Fleet. Real salt of the earth types wear thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and designer clothing, because they don't hate America. I'm so ashamed...

POPS The Chicken Or the State Road? As we were coming back home yesterday from mowing grass on our farm, I was chilling out and I didn't even notice that we passed a chicken pecking in the ditch. Suddenly, under his breath my husband says: "Chicken is cleaning the ditch better than the state road" Now, I dunno why, but this remark struck me as insanely funny and I couldn't stop laughing. You probably have to live in this state to get the joke, but regardless, laughter is so good for the soul isn't it?

POPSThe Company Store Deregulation. "I owe my soul to the company store" is a reference to the truck system and to debt bondage. Under this system workers were not paid cash; rather they were paid with unexchangeable credit vouchers for goods at the company store (usually referred to as scrip). This made it impossible for workers to store up cash savings. Workers also usually lived in company-owned dormitories or apartment buildings, the rent for which was automatically deducted from their pay.

POPSPelosi Invests In Energy Scheme and Water Grab By T. Boone Pickens Ken Kramer, director of the Texas Sierra Club said, “Water is a resource, yet in some respects it is a commodity. It’s as essential to human life as air. That puts water in a different class.” Pelosi #dontgo Bombshell: MONEY Money. It would appear that the driving force behind Madam Speaker’s quick and forceful adjournment of Congress is money. According to Michigan Taxes Too Much blog, Madam Speaker has a substantial amount of money invested in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation. Clean Energy Fuels Corporation is a business venture started by none other than T. Boone Pickens. Clean Energy Fuels Corp, stands to gain substantially from the higher prices of gasoline and are even flaunting it on their website. http://dontgomovement.com/2008/08/11/pelosi-dontgo-bombshell-money/

POPSPickens Gives New Meaning To Self-Government
At Pickens’ behest, the Texas legislature changed state law to allow the two residents of an 8-acre parcel of land in Roberts County to vote to create a municipal water district, a government agency with eminent domain powers. Who were the voters? They were Pickens’ wife and the manager of Pickens’ nearby ranch. And who sits on the board of directors of this water district? They are the parcel’s three other non-resident landowners, all Pickens’ employees. What’s this got to do with Pickens’ wind-power plan? Just as he needs pipelines to sell his water, he also needs transmission lines to sell his wind-generated power. Rights of way for transmission lines are also acquired through eminent domain -- and, once again, the Texas legislature has come to Pickens’ aid. Earlier this year, Texas changed its law to allow renewable energy projects (like Pickens’ wind farm) to obtain rights-of-way by piggybacking on a water district’s eminent domain power.

POPSOffsetting carbon offsets Aren't you pissed off? I have an idea. This would be a company that receives payments to support the usage of fossil fuels to offset the ridiculous carbon offset scams that are fraudulently bilking morons out of their money. Here is how it would work. If your carbon footprint is lower than Al Gore's, then you pay carbon offset offsets to projects that increase the use of fossil fuels for the purpose of increasing your carbon footprint to equal that of Al Gore's. Is this NOT BRILLIANT? And get this, it is not a scam. It is helping to defeat a scam and render the practice of scammers useless.
