POPSEmployee Free Choice Act We The People, may finally have a voice now that Barack Obama is our President. Hope is overflowing for the downtrodden American worker who saw labor hour increases while compensation decreased due to the many monitory escalations of Energy, Food, Shelter, Healthcare and Clothing. Disparity was the rule. This Employee Free Choice Act must be passed so that the American worker can start climbing out of the quagmire, too many years of Corporate rule put us in.

POPSMedvedev: Ready To Respond If U.S. Ends Missile Plan "We hope to create frank and honest relations with the new administration and resolve problems that we were not able to resolve with the current administration," he said. Iran, Iraq, Russia, all have extended a hand of peace towards America. Obama had better not screw up this opportunity to make right some of all Bush's wrongs. As Bush once said: "Either you are with us, or you are against us." If America continues to choose to threaten the security of Europe with their paranoid evil plans, I will know for sure that America is the true enemy of the whole world. Russia are closer neighbours to us, than the US and I for one, (among many others here in Dk), trust them a hell of a lot more, than we'll ever trust America. Get Obama to stop the plans for the stupid paranoid damned missile shield. The ball is in America's court. I hope they play it wisely.

POPSThe Surprising Success of the Associated Press There are relatively few success stories in early 21st-century journalism, especially in the newspaper sector. It's interesting--and, to someone who cares about reported journalism, something of a relief--that the Associated Press is still doing so well.

POPSEnglish to Be Official Language of Missouri Rep. Nieves, who supports English only, thinks that "when an American citizen walks into any official proceeding... 'anyone' should be able to understand what his or her government is doing." Funny, but his ban means that non English speaking Americans will not be able to understand what their government is doing.

POPSRestoring Felon Voting Rights Reintigrating into society is advanced by granting the right to vote to those who finish prison sentences. I'd be willing to wait for x number of months after getting out of prison before felons got the franchise restored.

POPSMature Presidents Outperform Young Interesting evaluation of some historical events...the way I learned and saw history. FTA: "Our next president will face a resurgent Russia run by Vladimir Putin and his KGB friends, Iran and its nuclear program, and al-Qaida and other terrorists who want an atomic weapon." Ooops. There might be too much 'fear' in this Clip.

POPSUSA Disdain for EU Must End with Bush's departure. As Naomi Klein and others have noted, this order contravened international law. The 1907 Hague convention requires an occupying power to respect the laws of the country it has invaded. Before Silverberg, Washington's chief representative in Europe was Clayland Boyden Gray. As the grandson of Bowman Gray, who owned Reynolds Tobacco, he inherited a vast fortune gained from the industry. It is only fitting, then, that he has spent much of his professional life trying to water down environmental and public health rules including the landmark clean air act.

POPSSalt Comes In Gourmet Flavors & Designer Colors 
Mahatma Gandhi used salt to launch his first major campaign of non-violent civil disobedience. By picking up a pinch of salt left by the tide, he broke the British law making it a crime to possess salt not obtained from the government monopoly. Salt wasn't always readily available or cheap. In medieval Europe it represented a third of the income of Poland's kings. The ancient Egyptians salt-cured their fish. The Romans were big salt-users. They paid the soldiers in salt." Which is apparently where the term "worth his salt" came from, and the word "salary" and "soldier. You may not know this, but salt is used in the manufacture of some 14,000 different products. "SALT, A World History" is a book that shows how an item of food becomes a commodity of trade, so it becomes economically important, then it becomes politically important and eventually it becomes culturally important" I Highly recommend Kurlansky's book . It put history into a different perspective for me & I enjoyed

POPSRussian Army with Low Morale Imagine what a corrupt Army would have done in Chechenya all these years ... And what it will continue to do there under a KGB thug like Vladimir Putin. And American president-to-be McCain begs for money from Putin. Strange world.

POPSRussian Military Spending: $50 Billion New York Times story adds that certain U.S. military officials are "unimpressed" by Russia's plans. One told the times that “these programs have long been in the works. They are not new plans.” As we noted here, http://www.forbes.com/beltway/2008/09/30/aerospace-defense-washington-biz-wash-cz_atg_0930beltway.html , President Bush recently signed a defense appropriations bill totaling $488 billion.
