POPSElderly gays forging new alliances There are over 2.5 million gay seniors in the U.S. All of them have lived through the days when being gay meant facing discrimination, job loss, familial animosity, alienation of friends etc. But times have changed, and gay seniors have new recognition as important members of society. Sage, is a new organization, supported by AARP that helps gay seniors live the kind of lives to which they are entitled. Finally, elders who happen to be gay, can join us younger gays in taking our place in the new freedoms, being granted us in the ever expanding acceptance and tolerance of society. Things are far from perfect, but we are definitely getting there.

POPSLow Male Libido - As men age, they lose 10% of testosterone a decade As men age, many suffer a decrease in sex drive. This isn't as natural as you'd think; in a study conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), men still on average feel as much sexual desire as they did in their middle age. There's more at play here than simply getting older. Try Provacyl to enhance your testosterone. Unlike medications meant to increase libido and sexual function, Provacyl has no side effects and you don't need a prescription. It's also meant to give your whole body a boost, promoting testosterone production, stimulating growth hormone, and improving blood flow and oxidization. Provacyl is also packed with aphrodisiacs that have been used for hundreds, or some even thousands, of years. So while you enjoy a greater sex life, your body gets a new start.

POPSKeep Medicare Fair I am not a fan of AARP. They are an insurance provider, but they don't provide medigap insurance to people under 65 ie the disabled.(at least not in NJ). This makes me a tad bit suspicious of their actions. However, this petition seems to be on the up and up.

POPSDes Moines Register discriminates against Kucinich when people go to various sites, non-partisan internet issue sites -- several of them are out there – internetstrawpoll.com/ , dehp.net/candidate/ , Minnesota Public Radio -- where you can list your issues and find out which candidate most closely matches your own ideas and ideals, Dennis Kucinich has consistently come out as the leading candidate, as the candidate whose views are most closely aligned with the vast majority of Americans. Not second, third, fourth, or fifth. First. So why do you only hear that Dennis Kucinich is polling in the single digits in national or statewide polls? I don’t know. You tell me. You really need to read the entire article. It lists polls where Dennis was first or close second. Yet these were never reported. The rich elite citizens do not want him in office; he is a threat to their empires.

POPSAARP looks after graying music lovers Interesting look at how boomers continue to affect the music industry to the point where even AARP is catering to boomer tastes in music radio (counter to commercial radio which is struggling "to connect with younger listeners who find most of their music online"). a bit more from the source: "At Amazon.com, the five best-selling artists in the online merchant's history are the Beatles, U2, Norah Jones, Johnny Cash and Diana Krall. The top five sellers last year included Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Andrea Bocelli — all staples of the boomer crowd"

POPSSinging in Der Shprits This is a lovely piece designed to offer a humourous and ethnic spin towards the problem of the environment. I found myself laughing and thinking at the same time, and also remembering aspects of my childhood being raised in a Jewish household.
