POPSCongress OKs Bill to Improve Broadband Access Such an analysis might provide some insight as to why the U.S. -- the birthplace of the Internet -- lags behind other developed countries in broadband usage. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ranks the U.S. 15th for broadband penetration. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., who sponsored a similar bill that passed the House earlier this year, supported the legislation. "This initiative will help us ascertain whether the nation is achieving its broadband policy goals because, unfortunately, our current knowledge on the state of broadband deployment, speed and affordability in the U.S. is grossly and inexcusably lacking," Markey said.

POPSHeh!!! IT’S TIME TO DRILL By TWENTY POUND SLEDGE Music lyrics and performed by Alfonzo Rachel We can fix it if we drill here right now. They say it’s going to take 10 years well, They said that 10 years ago so, Had we done it then we’d have the oil now, litigation is the time they’ll drag out. Everyday I here this was a war for oil, though we have our own underneath American soil. If that were really true, then why didn’t you prevent the war by stepping aside so we could get our own crude? The only bloody hands would belong to the left. Aptly named sinister, and taxin’ us to death, The ministers of victimization, who keep us in a state of a dependency nation. REPEAT CHORUS A MACHO SAUCE PRODUCTION

POPS23 Pillars of Change Let's me see, we don't have enough government spending, or enough government programs. And taxes, raising taxes lowers tax revenues. Lowering taxes raises revenues. But Barack Hussen Obama will magically raise revenues by raising taxes.

POPSUSA's Unhealthy Health Care Rating
**Up to 100,000 fewer people would die from causes that could have been prevented by good health care if the US achieved the lower mortality rates of leading countries **Thirty-seven million more adults would have an accessible primary care provider, and 70 million more adults would receive all recommended preventive care **The Medicare program could potentially save at least $12 billion a year by reducing hospital readmissions or by reducing hospitalizations for preventable conditions. **Reducing health insurance administrative costs to the average level of countries with mixed private/public insurance systems (Germany, Netherlands, and Switzerland) would free up $51 billion annually, or more than half the cost of providing comprehensive coverage to all the uninsured in the US. Reaching the lowest rate benchmarks (2 to 3 % of national health expenditures spent on adm. costs) set by the lowest countries Finland, Japan, and Australia—could save an estimated $102 billion per yea

POPSObama's Harry and Louise And destructive of health reform too. This is one out of the Republican books. Make your weakness your strength. But in doing so you denigrate the best policy. Is this the politics of hope?

POPSTata Reveals World's cheapest car
Said to look like a mango, at the presentation, it was driven on stage It is also said to be a transport solution for India (and another oil market.), The 'Austere' version comes with no radio, air conditioning, one windscreen wiper. (Why does the passenger need to know where they're going?) and no side mirror (In India a side mirror would be knocked off easily. There are fears by environmentalists of an acceleration of the pollution problem, but there is no reason the principle can't be applied to an eco friendly model. The road rules in India are noted for their practicality. Apart from the fact that Elephants, and Cows are given the right of way, the right of way is given in order of size. Train,truck,car,Tata Nano,bicycle,pedestrian. Pedestrians and cyclists need to be careful. Parking would be a night mare. They just need to design a vertical parking lot where the cars are left, and stacked on a shelf until the driver returns. I saw a Japanese idea like this in a clip

POPS$280,000 affordable housing The write down to $150-175K puts it in the affordable range, but I think they should concentrate on projects where the cost to build is around $180K and the subsidized sale price is $80K. The county is also funding a townhouse project where the units will be sold for $95,000.

POPSMore Poor Can't Help Hartford Tom Condon of the Hartford Courant hits (accidentally perhaps) on one of the main issues behind the affordable housing crisis: only the cities are responding. He complains that Hartford is too poor already and yet it is building more affordable housing. That's mostly because the urban core cities are the only ones actually doing anything at all about housing. The suburbs are where the real problem is and where new affordable housing needs to be built, but that's precisely where opposition to affordability is strongest.

POPSOfficial Inclusionary Zoning site of Westchester County This is a fantastic site explaining the county's view of what inclusionary zoning is and should be. In this county, the individual municipalities have total land use control, so a site like this can help sell the public on inclusionary zoning and convince municipalities to try it.

POPSCampus File Sharing Bills Lack Teeth The recording industry's fight against file-sharing on college campuses isn't likely to get very far with legislation like this. And colleges don't seem too enthused about the idea either. This post quotes a representative for the Association of American Universities as saying that, "The federal government should not require nonprofit educational institutions to develop plans to help for-profit industry earn more profit from students."

POPSTen Year Olds in Rehab: Tip of the Iceberg This is truly scary. The epidemic of adults who are drinking or abusing other drugs or simply on a hedonism trip to blot our their fear is well documented. Evidence is mounting about the abusive legacy one generation is bestowing on the next.
