POPSPalin abused her power as governor No doubt, this will be the 50th version of this report. It is different to the one put out by the Republican Party yesterday in an arrogant attempt to confuse the uneducated.

POPSPanel says Palin abused her authority After seeing the cavalier way that Palin treats everything, it should be no surprise to find out that the Alaska panel found her guilty of abusing her authority in firing an underling who didn't aid her personal agenda in getting an ex-brother-in-law fired. Hopefully this will kill some of the unwarranted support she's gotten for John McCrazy; at least the support from people who aren't just plain stupid.

POPSThe real Reson he was let go Monegan wanted to rehire retired Troopers at their retirement rate of pay when there were 40 positions open. Palin, wisely, said no, We can hire 40 new Troopers for the less moneya dn they will be able to serve for 20 years. Why would she want half as many rehired Troopers who would only be temporary hires. Monegan sided with his union and went against the Governor. HE was let go for that reason. The rest is circumstantial.

POPSNRA ramps up ad campaign against Obama "The pro-gun group is claiming that Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history. But in the view of many Californians, his stand might not be such a bad thing. The state has led efforts to restrict military-style semiautomatic weapons, large magazines and the sale of cheap handguns most often used in robberies."

POPSJapanese dolphin drive hunts and the dolphin captivity industry
The dolphin captivity industry, by purchasing dolphins from the drive hunts, are maintaining the drive hunts by keeping them economically viable. Both Japanese and Western dolphin trainers can be seen in these videos, so it's not merely a local thing to Japan. Since the early to mid 1990s, SeaWorld has no longer purchased dolphins from the Japanese drive hunts for good PR, and has turned to a breeding program. However, there are now plans to build a new SeaWorld in Dubai, UAE. How do they plan to procure enough animals to open this new park? I very much doubt that the breeding program that SeaWorld maintains would sufficiently produce enough animals to stuff into a whole new park with a whole new Shamu show, and their other animals such as bottlenose dolphins? Especially with the high mortality rate in their parks as it is, with another Orca dying unexpectedly in one of the SeaWorld parks just recently. So how would they do it? Without the restrictions imposed on SeaWorld in the

POPSMean Girl Perhaps this is why Sarah is not allowed to speak with the media, or why reporters are not allowed in the same room with her and heads of state. The article continues: There was a knife-sharp, personal edge to Palin's campaign that many locals found disturbing, particularly because of the warm relationship between Palin and Stein before the race. "I had a hand in creating Sarah, but in the end she blew me out of the water," Stein said, sounding more wearily ironic than bitter. "Sarah's on a mission, she's an opportunist." This woman is from the same mold as Dick Cheney, and that is down right scary.

POPSNigerian militants halt oil war after one week A spokesman for the joint military taskforce, which polices the Niger Delta, cautiously welcomed Mend's move. "We are hoping it will not be another tactical deception which we have already prepared to contend," Lt Col Sagir Musa told Reuters news agency. The attacks forced oil giant Shell to declare a force majeure on Saturday - which frees it from contractual obligations - on crude oil shipments from its Niger Delta facilities. Nigeria's oil production has been cut by 20% because of unrest in the region over the past few years.

POPSLeft Comprehension Gap At the root of this curious gulf of ignorance has always been the fact that the left is unable to understand that conservatives keenly understand them and the alleged rationales behind their policies. We know they think government needs an active role in social justice, that civic and free market mechanisms like business, church, and charity are insufficient to deal with poverty, urban decay, and the social pathologies that foster them. They think that in order to foster social progress, the state needs to assume active advocacy roles on a limitless range of issues. We understand. We may utterly disagree and denounce it to hell, but we understand. When conservatives see liberals, they see the proponents of bad, inefficient, and eminently corruptible state and social systems that with eye-watering predictability, corrupt those who administer them and harm their alleged beneficiaries. Often for generations.

POPSAfghans Fed Up With Government, US A strong sense of frustration echoed through dozens of interviews by The Associated Press with Afghan villagers, police, government officials, tribal elders and Taliban who left and rejoined the religious movement. The interviews ranged from the capital, Kabul, to the rural regions near the border with Pakistan. The overwhelming result: Ordinary Afghans are deeply bitter about American and NATO forces because of errant bombs, heavy-handed searches and seizures and a sense that the foreigners do not understand their culture. They are equally fed up with what they see as seven years of corruption and incompetence in a U.S.-backed government that has largely failed to deliver on development. Even with more foreign troops, Afghanistan is now less secure.
