POPSThe Sun IS Slowing Down.... Quick- light a fire, go for a drive, do something- anything- just make some more CO2 before we all freeze to death.. Wish I was joking, but the lack of sunspots too makes me think we could soon be very grateful for our atmospheric blanket! Mind you, we only have to ground the airplanes for one day a week to reduce global dimming and presto!- global warming at the stroke of a pen....

POPSArmyTimes: McCain "deceitful" about Army future? "More critical" of FCS "than anyone else in the chamber," he puts down Obama for slowing development of program. Called "typical of the way in which Republicans have twisted Democratic views ... obscur the past positions of Republicans."

POPSCOMCAST is Realy CONCAST Slowing the traffic on the internet and charging users by the minute, is their ultimate goal. Standing in the way of innovations and technological evolution, the corporate "milking" of existing standards. Greed.

POPSWhy cheaper oil signals trouble Deflation will win over inflation. But the "good news" will go on until just after the USA election. Then reality will begin to intrude its ugly head, again.

POPSAs Pelosi Tries to 'Save the Planet,' GOP Criticizes Drilling Ban She could do a lot to 'save the planet' if she would help the US become energy independent. And furthermore, I think the "planet" issue is huge hubris on her part. Boehner is correct; they are trying to run out the clock" and wait to see which way the election goes. Purely a political play and an insult to the Americans they *claim* so sanctimoniously to represent.

POPSTime to end waste at the Pentagon These are complex problems that will require multifaceted solutions. A good way to start would be by slowing down the “revolving door” that allows high-level Pentagon bureaucrats and military officers to go to work for major defense contractors. The problems with the revolving door are twofold. First, officials looking forward to employment in the arms industry may favor certain companies in hopes of getting lucrative job offers after leaving government service. Second, once they have moved into the private sector, these former government employees can use their specialized knowledge and inside contacts to give an unfair advantage to their new employer. It's a shame that we have to put up with this crap every year and nothing changes except the scum make MORE $$$$

POPSCharging By The Byte To Curb Internet Traffic
“Based on current trends, total bandwidth in the AT&T network will increase by four times over the next three years,” the company said in a statement. All three companies say that placing caps on broadband use will ensure fair access for all users. Internet metering is a throwback to the days of dial-up service, but at a time when video and interactive games are becoming popular, the experiments could have huge implications for the future of the Web. Even if the caps are far above the average users’ consumption, their mere existence could cause users to reduce their time online. Just ask people who carefully monitor their monthly allotments of cellphone minutes and text messages. “As soon as you put serious uncertainty as to cost on the table, people’s feeling of freedom to predict cost dries up and so does innovation and trying new applications,” Vint Cerf, the chief Internet evangelist for Google who is often called the “father of the Internet.”
