POPSgristmill's climate change primer basically the place to go if you are trying to figure out how to explain climate change to someone who believes climate change is not a real phenomenon. it's not new, but it's always useful to have handy.

POPSNo Tax Increase Needed for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid... If Congress were to act responsibly (yes, an oxymoron), it would hold down the growth of spending, as was done in the late 1980s and late 1990s, and eliminate those government programs that do not meet a reasonable cost-benefit test. As has been shown before, such actions would quickly eliminate the deficit.

POPSHalf of overweight US adults are heart-healthy We have this idea that fat=unhealthy, unhealthy=fat, thin=healthy, and healthy=thin. However, more and more research seems to indicate that this simply isn't true. It's not about your size or your shape, it's about your fitness. Can you do what you need to do on a daily basis with ease? Can you climb a flight of stairs or run a block for the bus without getting winded? Can you play tag with a couple of six-year-olds without passing out from overexertion? Can you carry your groceries home without needing to set them down several times? Get fit. Get strong. Get active. And tell anyone who still believes in "shaming the fatties into losing weight" to go jump in a lake.

POPSJohn Edwards scandal too much even for a moonbat Here’s my favorite part of Edwards’ closing argument to the jury, the American people: “If you want to beat me up - feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself.” I would have reworked that passage to this end: “If you want to lie about me - feel free. You cannot lie about me any more than I have already lied myself.”

POPSScanning the brain in real time Learning to control your own mind. There have been three ways to affect the brain.(for argument's sake) the psychiatrist's couch, the knife, and with medication. Now with the improved MRI technology we can look inside our brain in real time, and affect the way we think. The video wont clip but video lasts for 3min56sec and can be seen following the top link, or is 13.6MB download from the link in the clip (The 'desktop' link works, itunes seems only to be a download from the site)

POPSGobal Warming Stopped in 1998 <<<n the end, reporters covering climate change should keep in mind that the relationship between temperature and human greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions is considerably more complicated than we often assume, and natural forcings tend to dominate year-to-year variability.>>> But who on earth can bother with complicated thinking?

POPSYour Voice Is Being Heard On Capitol Hill In the energy debate, common sense is winning and it’s got the anti-energy elites rattled because they offer no solutions to lowering gas and diesel prices. American Solutions, on the other hand, has taken a bold stand and has been leading the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" movement that has energized millions of Americans around a positive solution. Because of your help and the help of more than a million others, today an overwhelming majority of Americans support opening up new areas for exploration and drilling of American oil and gas, including offshore. American Solution is headed up to Capitol Hill today to meet with Members of Congress still in Washington working to pass an energy bill to deliver a message of thanks. After the meeting, we'll hold a press conference with Speaker Gingrich and other House Republicans at 10:30 am. C-SPAN plans to air the press conference live here.

POPSGrand Jury Clears Man in Death of Girl, 15, After Dispute in Queens I am sure things like this are going to happen every day when Barack Obama becomes president. This is just a beginning. This is my personal oppinion and I believe I am free to express it if there is still freedom of speech in this contry. Go ahead. Keep supporting him, and very soon you will pay for everything you did and everything you didn't. Guaranteed...

POPSI Can't Believe I Agree with "Big Business" So I have to say, I agree with Sprint on this one - not the consumers. While those 2-year service agreements annoy me too, they do allow me to buy cheap phones and always have the latest gadgets, which I love. If they aren't allowed to lock us into 2-year contracts, they're going to stop subsidizing phones and will raise the prices on their services, which I don't think any of us wants either. As a compromise, why not require them to offer options. If you sign a 2-year contract, they'll offer you subsidized phone and service pricing. If you don't want to be locked into a contract, you can do that, but you'll pay more for your phones and service. That way, those of us who are ok with dealing with 2 year contracts to keep our prices low can do so, while those of us that don't mind paying more to keep their options open can do so as well. To me it's a win-win.
