POPSSelective Service Registration Raises Serious Questions EXCLUSIVE: Did Next Commander-in-Chief Falsify Selective Service Registration? First, there is the Document Location Number (DLN) on the form. In the upper right hand corner of the Selective Service form SSS Form 1, there is the standard Bates-stamped DLN, in this case "0897080632," which I've labeled as "A" on both the SSS Form and the computer printout document. On the form, it reflects a 2008 creation, but on the printout, an extra eight was added in front of the number to make it look like it is from 1980, when it was actually created in 2008.

POPSWomen not fooled by Palin ploy There was certainly speculation that Obama needed to choose a woman - or one women in particular, Hillary Clinton. But the get-out-the-vote effort among those under 30 and women was so well honed that almost all of even the most disgruntled Clinton supporters were swayed by election day. It was the youth vote from the outset that marked this election as different. Every four years we hear of a politician who is firing up college students and first-time voters. But no one has been this successful. No one has reached out person-to-person as effectively. Even in solidly Republican states like South Carolina, Obama took the youth vote. Some of this is because Obama conducted a ridiculously youth-friendly campaign, using web-based social networking and text-messaging get out the vote.

POPSMcCain voters: Don't Read - about intelligent political debate Reagan health programme would have appalled most Americans , had he explained it as carefully as Carter had done, but he had found a formula for avoiding tough political issues and making his opponents look like wonks. It wasn't always like this. The founding fathers of the republic - Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton and others - were among the greatest thinkers of their age. They felt no need to make a secret of it. How did the project they launched degenerate into George W Bush and Sarah Palin? ... Guardian

POPSStock Market in Better Perspective (Graph) This from David Boaz at CATO shows the S & P Index since 1980. The recent tumble has not yet hit the depth of the tumble that bottomed out in 2003. (Click on source to enlarge). The difference is the suddenness and steepness of the drop, setting falling records in days and weeks, instead of months. In his article he also mentions, contrary to current rants, that America's capitalism is far from "unregulated": Certainly we haven’t had any unregulated capitalism lately. As I put it the other day, the kind of capitalism that has encountered the current crisis is “the kind in which a central monetary authority manipulates money and credit, the central government taxes and redistributes $3 trillion a year, huge government-sponsored enterprises create a taxpayer-backed duopoly in the mortgage business, tax laws encourage excessive use of debt financing, and government pressures banks to make bad loans.”
