POPS"A dishonorable lust for office" The choice of Palin reveals a dishonourable lust for office, a disrespect for women generally and a dishonourable indifference to the future of his country.

POPSWe Deserve to Be Robbed Matt Taibbi's article is absolutely right on the mark. Unfortunately I found it impossible to clip in a way that would bring out the important points he makes to their fullest extent. Please read the entire piece at the link above. It certainly will have you thinking about where the priorities of country are leading us, and make you wonder if we really do not deserve to be ripped off as Matt says.

POPSMIT Team Use Viruses to Build Nex-Gen Batteries Bio-battery technology could open up a whole new field of science with exotic new applications. The study was partly funded by the Army Research Office Institute of Collaborative Biotechnologies, and the Army Research Office Institute of Soldier Nanotechnologies, which suggests that the Army has some interest in this type of research. One can only imagine the strange and/or nefarious possibilities of fusing batteries into living organisms. However, Belcher diffuses any excitement over possible cyborg applications.

POPSNo Election!? Read the whole piece. I have been seeing this everywhere, it is gaining traction, so that is why I clipped it. This was dismissed by a federal judge, now he is trying to get a Supreme Court injunction.

POPSSexuality Bias Seen "Banks said she believed the rumors were started by other attorneys in the Grand Rapids office who eventually landed jobs at the Justice Department in Washington. She declined to identify them. Monday's report also said that Goodling used an Internet search that included the words "gay" and "homosexual" to screen candidates and their backgrounds." Well now! We used to play a game in school called "Gossip". We'd line up several people and start a sentence and everyone changed it a little while whispering into each other's ear. Of course it was unrecognizable at the end and we would all laugh. The point of the game was to show the social implications of pettiness. So why would anyone care about sexual orientation at the Justice Department in the first place? Ah, back to that wicked game of gossip and backstabbing to get ahead eh? No better way than to call them lesbians.

POPSUK want to drop "War on Terror" term I know!! Let's call it something more appropriate like "War on Liberty" or "War for World Domination"... Naaaa, maybe we should leave the renaming up to the "Coalition of the Drilling".

POPSYou Get The Government You Deserve The elections don't just concern Americans. The whole world is in the murderous grasp of the evil American BushCo regime and their bogus "War on Terror". They have deceived their allies and they have murdered millions of innocent people around the world. They sure didn't deserve it! Everyone around the world is watching what you do now. Twice, you put Bush in office and twice, you let him stay there. Patriot Acts, MCA 2006, renditions, torture, secret prisons, lies, wars, surveillance, Gitmo... It has to change. The faces and names in office may change, but make sure the dictatorial laws change too. These elections, DEMAND change! If not, then the US really will get the government they deserve...

POPSDowntown business district bans outdoor photography Silver Spring, Md., where I spent a lot of time as a kid, now has a "revitalized" downtown area, where, as it turns out, you are not allowed to take photographs. Why? The main business street, though it was built and paid for with taxpayer money, was "vacated" by the county and leased to a private developer, who now manages the space. This says a lot about the demise of the commons and of public space in the U.S., I think. The photographer in question comments: "I wonder if people know they traded their rights for a Potbelly’s and a Starbucks" (source: http://snipr.com/1nmvg).
