POPSFarmers Arrested Planting Hemp on DEA Headquarters Lawn Hemp is not a drug and has no capacity to get someone stoned. Currently eight states -- Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia -- allow industrial hemp production or research, but federal law, which requires nearly-impossible-to-obtain-permits to grow hemp, trumps those state laws. A bill introduced by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) would allow states to craft their own policies. Some facts from North American Industrial Hemp Council: Hemp has been grown for at least the last 12,000 years for fiber (textiles and paper) and food. Hemp oil once greased machines. Most paints, resins, shellacs, and varnishes used to be made out of linseed (from flax) and hemp oils. Rudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on hemp oil The products that can be made from hemp number over 25,000.

POPSArlington Pastor Questions Speech Double Standard The Cornerstone Baptist Church wants to make sure that any youth who wants to see President Barack Obama’s address to students has a place to go. Church officials say they don’t want students "to be banned or barred from hearing and viewing this historic message to students because of the judgments and fear of some school districts.” Good for him. It seems pretty obvious who is doing the brainwashing in that school district. They are basically passing on the message that what this president says is poison, but the guy who lied to us to get us into an illegal war, besmirched America’s name by authorizing war crimes, and spent all our money, is someone worth listening to.

POPSIllegal immigrant murderer executed in Texas This slime was whining about his rights being violated, and seemed not in the least regretful for the murder he committed. Now that we have dispatched the vermin, let's contemplate the rights of the murder victim being grossly violated - i.e. the right to live. There a nice hot place in hell welcoming this vermin. Maybe the far reaching lesson should be, stay home and live.

POPS Free Lunch, and how Bush made his money
"What happened is, an oil man named Eddie Chiles wanted to sell his money-losing Texas Rangers baseball team. They played in a little stadium, smaller than the one we have here in Rochester, New York, and of course couldn’t make any money. So George Bush put together a group of very wealthy investors to buy the team. He put up himself $600,000 of borrowed money. The partners then gave him a 10 percent stake as the managing partner. That’s a very common arrangement in business. Then they held a special election in January of the year in question to increase the sales tax in the town of Arlington, Texas, by one half-cent. That money was used to build a new baseball stadium. It’s an incredibly nice baseball stadium. Then the power of government to seize land by eminent domain—and I go back to what was talked about in Kenya, the leader there can give you land, he can presumably therefore also take it away—the government used its power of eminent domain to seize land from people, not for

POPSObama, Arlington and the Moving Target of Racial Politics in America The author's take: this isn't a hate crime. This incident, improperly labeled as such, sensitizes us to real hate crimes: (Emmit Louis Till, James Byrd, Jr., Matthew Shephard, et al). Yet, every black person over 40 who has lived in the South understands the following as part of our collective memory: The first step is a warning; the second step is burning and the third step normally involves a rope. This trifecta was an oft-repeated series of racial terrorism against persons of color in Texas and throughout the South.

POPSWHILE THEY ENJOY THEIR VACATION, IRAQ'S SADNESS GOES ON AND ON!
Lately, I don't agree with CNN's outspoken Lou Dobbs on many issues, but I certainly support his lament two days ago: "The idea that our president, this Congress take time off when we have men and women dying in Iraq, Afghanistan ... there's something at best unseemly about it.. "With all the issues, serious issues confronting the country, they should be hard at work." ____________________ (Photo taken on August 16, 2007: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Army bugler plays Taps during US Army Specialist Christopher Todd Neiberger's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Assigned to the 1st Infantry Division, 1st battalion, 18th infantry regiment, 2nd brigade combat team, Neiberger, 22, was killed by a roadside bomb August 6 in Baghdad, Iraq.
