POPSPickled Dragon It turned out to be a hoax by an author to promote his new series "the dragon conspiracy" (under pen name P R Moredun). This is an article from before the press new it was fake.

POPSGoogle Locks Down Anti-Obama Sites On Blogger Platform **UPDATE** I have been hesitant to post this update because I cannot find a link to prove the claim, but it is starting to look like this Blogspot shut down of anti-Obama sites occurred because of a concerted effort by Obama supporters. What they did was go to the Blogspot addresses found on the site of the NoObama coalition called Just Say No Deal and constantly hit the “mark as spam” link so that Google’s Blogger would be flooded with spam warnings. This caused Google/Blogger to freeze the sites marked. Apparently, this campaign merely took advantage of Google/Blogger’s flawed system of finding spam blogs. So, it looks like what we have here is an Obama dirty trick to shut down political opposition. Looks like Obmatons aren’t much for that whole democracy thing, eh? Once I find a link to an Obama site talking about this attack, I will post it.

POPSJudiciary Committee Willl Subpoena Atty. Gen. Mukasey It's about damn time they get off the dime to follow and prosecute the LAW they have all sworn to uphold. If Mukasey balks or won't testify under oath, that trick BushCo loves, they better arrest his sorry ass and let him sit for contempt until he does.

POPSDitch the Hubs and Build More Regional Airports I'm convinced this is the only solution to airport congestion and delays. Regardless of technology, you can only squeeze a finite number of planes into the same airspace. More regionals also means I'm closer to home and my destination, plus a whole lot of time saved.

POPSNader - One Trick Pony Admiration for past good deeds aside, Nader presents these days as bitter, self-absorbed, and out of touch. Now he's accusing Obama of attempting to "talk white". I'm not even sure what the hell he means by this except perhaps a twisted view into his own cultural stereotypes

POPSTop 10 Ways to Trick Yourself into Saving Money Anyone who says "how about just having some willpower, huh?" can either A) provide proof that they have NEVER done ANYTHING foolish, impulsive, or irrational relating to money, or B) shut up and stop lecturing. Mote, beam, eye. Despite what economic textbooks say, humans are not rational actors. We are not maximizers, we are satisficers. Blaming people for not having superhuman self-control and reasoning power is, well, blaming people for not being superhuman. Point 6 seems silly, though. There are so many credit card transactions that can be made just using the number, not the physical card, I have a hard time seeing how it would help.

POPSHow EU Leaders Are Trying to Rescue the Lisbon Treaty "And they are right to do so." ... "The scoundrels in Brussels have sold the European people a lot of things: a single market, the euro, the lifting of many border controls and, most recently, a binding global climate policy. These have all been good things, and they have helped make Europe an eminently livable continent. Despite the many dull moments and emotions that have been negative at best, the end result has been laudable. Most of these improvements would have been held up, if not outright prevented, by referendums. Democracy doesn't mean having unlimited confidence in citizens. Sometimes the big picture is in better hands when politicians are running it, and a big picture takes time."

POPSLetters to God I love this kind of thing. There were more too, I just couldn't fit them all. These were the best.
