POPSToo Poor For Bankruptcy "Are we one nation? Or are we just interest groups? Can we rescue Wall Street and ignore Main Street?" "The new President promises change and I wish him well and I hope for the best. But I won’t hold my breath because no one hates Americans more than other Americans."

POPSEven Lawyers are getting laid off
NEW YORK: You know things are bad when even lawyers are getting laid off. In downturns of years past, law firms exploited corporate failures and bitter, protracted lawsuits to keep busy and keep billing. But in this still-unfolding crisis, the embittered and the bankrupt have been relatively slow to appear, at least in court. American law firms in turn are feeling the strain. Thelen and Heller Ehrman, two firms whose deep San Francisco roots extend back decades, have collapsed outright, in part because of the business slowdown. Each firm left several hundred lawyers out in the cold. Many others, including Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal and Katten Muchin Rosenman, two Chicago firms ranked among the nation's 100 most profitable by American Lawyer magazine, and an international giant, Clifford Chance, have jettisoned dozens of associates. Still others, like Powell Goldstein, a firm based in Atlanta with more than 200 lawyers, are merging with larger rivals in deals that may be bid

POPSIt's time to put a bullet in the head of the Republican Party Eying a shift to the center? It is probably no secret that I despise parties. I support a two party system above prominent multiple parties, but I think it would be a good thing when the useless ones die, especially in light of the fact that we basically have one big statist progressive party now.

POPSProgressive Voter Guide to Water Issues
1. SCARCITY Thirty-six U.S. states are facing water stress and scarcity in the coming decade, with Western states such as California, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada already experiencing water stress. Last year, the southeast, including the Atlanta area, nearly ran out of drinking water completely. * Solution: We need to cut down on our consumption of water and employ conservation practices in our homes as well as in industry and agriculture. We need public education about conservation practices, incentives for reducing consumption and increasing efficiency, and new regulations for agriculture and industry. We also need regulations to protect against the pollution and overpumping of groundwater. * Obama's position: Obama says he believes we need to take preparatory measures to ensure our water supplies are used efficiently and equitably.

All states count, of course but the four states above are the big ones that swing back and forth and could go either way and thus make the difference. But Virginia? North Carolina!? Georgia!? Wow! - In the USA Civil War, 150 years ago, it was a war between Northern States and Southern States (of that time). If looking at the USA Election Map for the last 150 years, it's been the very exact same dividing line....the same dividing line as in the USA Civil War: The Northern States (of that time) vote one way; the Southern States (of that time) vote another. For the Democrats to win in Virginia - capital of the South, would change all that...(and Obama now ahead). If they win North Carolina...incredible! shocking! If Obama wins Georgia..OMG! OMG! It would be a victory not just for now, but a 150 y
