POPSEdge Of The Abyss "One thing’s for sure: The next administration’s economic team had better be ready to hit the ground running, because from day one it will find itself dealing with the worst financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression."

POPSMean Girl Perhaps this is why Sarah is not allowed to speak with the media, or why reporters are not allowed in the same room with her and heads of state. The article continues: There was a knife-sharp, personal edge to Palin's campaign that many locals found disturbing, particularly because of the warm relationship between Palin and Stein before the race. "I had a hand in creating Sarah, but in the end she blew me out of the water," Stein said, sounding more wearily ironic than bitter. "Sarah's on a mission, she's an opportunist." This woman is from the same mold as Dick Cheney, and that is down right scary.

POPSEconomic times may lead to a DIY Renaissance How many times have you been at a crafts fair and looked at an object for sale and said "I can build that"? Then why not do it? Buying the materials may sometimes cost a little more than just buying the product but you have more of a 'connection' to the item if you build it yourself. And you may have leftover material to start another project. Also, DIY is a form of 'revolution' that says we do not have to be dependent on others to have what we want. This is one reason why I enjoy growing my own food, aside from the greater variety and fresher quality than what I get at the supermarket, I don't have to worry about pesticides and other contamination. Who knows, you may discover a hidden talent.

POPSPalin is Scary She has officially moved into the realm of truly frightening. I used to believe I could vote for McCain but that has become impossible. Palin should not be allowed near the White House let alone within a heartbeat of the Presidency. This interview should not have been difficult (Katie is no Sam Donaldson) or surprising (do you think you might get asked about something you have been repeatedly asked about). She did not rise to the level of small town mayor or governor, let alone Vice President

POPSA near bankruptcy due to google error... what happened was: "The media company said a single visit to the bankruptcy story in the wee hours Sunday morning, when traffic to the newspaper's site was low, pushed the item onto the list of popular articles. Google's search technology then picked up the story as breaking news, Tribune said." Scary...

POPSThe Creature From Jekyll Island (Scary Stuff)
In the wake of the Lehman Brothers, bankruptcy, and the long queue of other banks and mortgage companies ready to follow this, old bank, in a freefall slide down the ole' crapper. This is an interesting but frightening piece. The only question I have upon listening, IS... What the hell can we do about it? G. Griffin says, "slay the creature" (federal reserve sys.) in Congress. With an informed electorate this can happen... We must all do our part to bring about change. Clipmarks is one way to GET THE WORD OUT. Education and information is really the answer. If we were all informed, the political nonsense we see upon our BOOB-TUBES would never penetrate the USA psyche. We can't keep going downhill like this. The bottom is harder than ROCK. Please download the mp3 and pass it around. If this enlightens just one person, I have done my bit to help thwart such a dire outcome for our nation and world. If the mp3 is a little much, view youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWKlz2Z4Nlo

POPSAbkhazia, Ossetia and Iran – Risks of Spreading Conflicts What is puzzling after reading all the press on Ossetia and the US involvement is why does the US really have interest. Thinking more and doing some Google Earth it seems that Georgia area has great position in terms of range to Iran. So what if the US an ally worked out a deal to use that as a launching point on Iran? Might that not piss off Putin and Russia who has publicly acknowledge providing nuclear power guidance,etc. So with that in mind, Putin/Medeved could easily say - get out of our region. Not sure what is more scary - the idea that the US/allies might have been planning to attack Iran or the fact Putin and crew are willing to possibly defend Iran.

POPS The Selfless Philanderer And then she spoils it all by wearing that hideous green dress! I’m sure you’ve seen the hilariously disturbing You Tube video of McCain checking out Palin’s ass, all the while fiddling with his wedding ring. In light of the recent allegations of Palin’s own infidelity, Cindy just better watch her scary self. When you marry a philanderer you get, well a philanderer. Good luck with that, honey!
