POPSA Test of the Copernican Principle Disproving the Copernican Principle would amount to a a Copernican revolution on its own account :-) Also, certain aspects of general relativity would need a profound review. Fortunately it seems Copernicus was right after all. Or was he?

POPSFinally No matter who wins the electoral college, the 2008 presidential election will be a historic one, as the nation will send either an African-American or the oldest first-term president to the White House. A McCain win would also mean the first female vice president in the nation's history. The 2008 presidential election has proved to be the most expensive in history. Americans are expected to head to the polls in record numbers. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/election.president/index.html?eref=time_us

POPSThe Man Behind the Anti-Obama Hate Fest He prepared to run as a Democrat for Congress in Connecticut, where paperwork for one of his campaign committees listed as one purpose “to exterminate Jew power.” He ran as a Republican for the Florida State Senate and the United States Senate in Illinois. When running for president in 1999, he aired a television advertisement in New Hampshire that accused George W. Bush of using cocaine. A motion he filed in a 1983 bankruptcy case called the judge “a crooked, slimy Jew who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race.”

POPSRepublican Confesses: "How I Rigged an Election."
While Republicans on the news -- and their trolls now here at clipmarks -- a full time once again trying to suppress the vote with false charges of voter fraud and by trying to put minority and poor advocates out of the voter registration business... ...here's a FACT: This guy was arrested for Republican dirty tricks during the election. FACT. This guy went to jail for a real Republican sponsored election tampering. The Republican attacks against this group, ACORN...and their false attempts to link ACORN to Obama (as if Obama needs to do voter fraud...) --- all this has been done before and is the Classic method of Republican voter suppression. They started doing this seriously real bad from the year 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, now; and they intend to continue this for years forward. So when you hear the lies about ACORN today; I hope you will also consider the FACT of Republican voter dirty tricks that is documented here, and proved by this guy going to jail.

POPSFred Thompson Shakes Up the GOP Primary So, from the conservatives I talk to, here and elsewhere, I get the impression that Fred Thompson would really energize the GOP. The Republicans aren't running as disciplined of a process as they usually do, so it seems this could shake up a rather sloppy field. Who do you think stands to lose the most from F. Thompson's candidacy? Who do you think stands to gain the most? (I see a boost for Tommy Thompson, riding a wave of twin Thompson confusion...)

POPSNew Hampshire Goes Gay Hooray! New Hampshire legalizes gay civil-unions. No, it ain't marriage, but we're getting there. 5 years ago who would have thought civil-unions would start making such major inroads in the states. In a few very short years, same-sex marriage will become the law of the land, just as it is in our close neighbour and largest trading partner, Canada.

POPSGovernment as the Hammer of Religion Here we go again. Over the years my enthusiasm has been dampened somewhat by failures to rid this secular country of the self-serving desires of Christian Nationalists seeking unwarranted privilege, but you never know. Maybe reason will prevail this time.

POPSTim Russert, Journalist Extraordinaire.....NOT This column by Paul Waldman, in the American Prospect is a must-read for anyone who finds themselves baffled by the ridiculous level of questions asked at the presidential debates, and other face-to-face interviews. He chooses Tim Russert as his primary target in this piece, which is quite apt considering the way Russert handled the questioning during the Democratic debate October 30. I was only able to clip a tiny bit to give you an idea of what it is about, but I urge you to read the entire piece. It is well worth your time in my rarely to be humble opinion.

POPSGood environmental news from America! Some good environmental news from America! It takes an act of Congress to add publicly owned land to the National Wilderness Preservation System, and the 109th Congress has acted to preserve over 1 million acres of wilderness.

POPSObama's recognitions/honors while a Senator Distinguished service recognitions received during his four years as a U.S. Senator. You are certainly free to disagree with Obama, but the suggestion that his service as a Senator is less than exemplary is simply ill-informed propaganda.

POPSI Am Very Disappointed That The South Is Living Up To Expectations I try to hard to ignore stereotypes of any kind, especially considering the fact that I am a member of more than one minority group that has its own stereotypes to live down constantly. But South Carolina's actions really does not do anything to help dispel the perception that the south is less tolerant and accepting than other areas of the country.

POPSFirst Votes Counted in U.S. Historical Elections: Obama Wins. Election Day has begun. Obama ahead by 7 votes. Only about 145,000,000 million registered remaining. A record turnout expected. The amusing occurrence of a town, ski resort, way up in a national forest near the Canadian border, Dixville, NH has happened again, with it's fifteen minutes of fame. New Hampshire law allows allows towns to close their polls once all registered and eligible voters have cast ballots and to declare the results. All 29 registered voters showed up to vote at one minute after midnight - a town tradition for almost 50 years. (the town has 115 residents). Obama got 17 votes, McCain 10, and Ron Paul two write in votes.

POPSMcCain Totally Trashes George Bush! This, just 11 days before the election, is astounding. IMO, and many others think that if McCain had talked like this -- and focuses his criticism on Barack Obama's lack of military experience and thus a poor choice for the president's role as Commander-in-Chief -- he could have won. His list of criticism and emphatically also the list of many Democrats criticisms (except the war) and also spelled out a list of many Republican dissatisfactions about Bush (esp. big government, spending too much money). It also shows off his real 'maverick' streak.which has a lot of appeal to Independents (one-third the electorate). Yup...appeal to Democrats by echoing some of their gripes, appeal to Republican gripes, appeal to Independents, point to himself as better Commander-in-Chief -- it was a path to victory. But no...he made ridiculous smears to link Obama to terrorist; he made empty accusations of voter fraud, he talked 'Joe the Plumber," he picked Palin for VP -- it was like a c
