POPSNew Brunswick Veterinarians To Stop Cropping & Docking Good news for dogs! Too bad the breeders are so heartless and self-centered. vet: "People say it doesn't really hurt them, but they scream when you do it" :mad: Hopefully it will be illegal for anyone to crop or dock to discourage breeders from mutilating dogs, causing unnecessary pain and risking infection.

POPSSolution to the economic crisis? Are the same things being done to get us out of this mess the same things that got us into it in the first place? Seeing the market go down hundreds of points after the bill was passed had to be a very disappointing thing to the people who voted for the bailout.

POPSBig Difference in Post-Debate Spin Does Ifill Have a Conflict of Interest? The internet has been buzzing with charges that tonight's debate moderator, Gwen Ifill, has a conflict of interest because she is writing a book, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, that is due to be released on inauguration day in 2009. If nothing else, it creates the appearance of a conflict of interest, much as would a journalist's participation in a political rally or partisan political activity. This is the view taken by the Columbia Journalism Review: Gwen Ifill has done solid, important journalism. She’ll likely be a good, tough, and neutral moderator to the vice-presidential debate. Let’s set that aside, for now. Conflict of interest is often about appearances. There appears, to us, to be a conflict in Ifill moderating tomorrow night’s vice presidential debate. http://volokh.com/posts/chain_1222978481.shtml

POPSFactCheck: Who's really responsible for crisis? "Screwing up takes a great deal of cooperation." D's blame R's and R's blame D's - but those accusations (and I have made them, too, sorry to say) are far too simplistic to help us fix the problem. Here's a list of contributors to the perfect storm.

POPSThe Methane Time Bomb As pessimistic/cynical as I am, I really didn't want us to get to this point. Perhaps it won't reach the critical point, but I'm not holding my breath.

POPSWhy the Wall St bailout is a bad idea Oh, and let's not forget that we import a lot of stuff. If the dollar collapses in the FOREX, all that stuff will be a lot more expensive. And since oil is denominated in dollars worldwide, well, a collapse in the dollar means that the price of oil will be going nowhere but up.
