POPSExperts Say Humans Can Live to 1,000 Leon Kass, the former head of Bush's Council on Bioethics, insists that “the finitude of human life is a blessing for every human individual”. Bioethicist Daniel Callahan of the Garrison, New York-based Hastings Centre, agrees: “There is no known social good coming from the conquest of death.” Maybe they’re right, but then why do we as humans strive so hard to prolong our lives in the first place? Maybe growing old, getting sick and dying is just a natural, inevitable part of the circle of life, and we may as well accept it. "But it's not inevitable, that's the point," One wonders what Methuselah would say about all this.

POPSNew Catholic "Blessing of a Child in the Womb" This prayer "makes a plea that 'our civic rules' perform their duties 'while respecting the gift of human life.'" With those words you move the prayer away from the stated object and make it an political statement. I'm all in favor of religious political action, but when a mother comes to you for a blessing of her unborn child and you respond with a plea to "civic rulers," you denigrate the mother and her unborn child and make them tools for your goals rather than the focus of your thoughts.

POPSSenator McCain Shoves Bush-Paulson "Bailout" Under The Bus All they needed was John McCain to put the deal through. This deal, by the way, had 20% of the 700 billion going to ACORN. ACORN is a "community organization that Barack Obama used to work with and continues to support. They are under investigation concerning voter fraud. Why would any bill for bailing out Wall Street have a provision for funding this far-left organization? I don't know why President Bush is putting his name on this horrible policy, but I am thankful that Senator McCain had the guts to stand against this bailout and give Boehnor and the house a chance to fix the mess on Wall Street (although I personally think that we should let the markets fall or rise where they may).

POPSBailouts Represent Usurped Dictatorial Powers by Bush, Fed, and Treasury Bloomberg warns, read the whole article. Bush, the Fed, the Treasury are seizing power, upon an Economic 9/11, and Congress is being coerced into immediate conformity (not wanting to take the blame for "doing nothing", while the financial companies who caused it escape accountability with free bailout) during an election season (Obama and McCain are quoted). The power is dictatorial and dangerous. It is in fact another Usurpation of power.

POPS The 110th's Do-Nothingness -- They Need A Rest: Yipee A bipartisan group of senators who sought a compromise in the rancorous energy debate won't introduce their bill before lawmakers adjourn for the elections, several Senate aides said Thursday. Since the group won't offer a bill, it's unclear how the energy debate will unfold days before the scheduled Sept. 26 adjournment. Anyway, it sounds like the Senate will now not find the time to debate and vote on an energy bill before the recess (they need rest, darn it, they've been back at work for days! ), but that seems better than passing a meaningless bill and taking the issue off the table for the foreseeable future. For a change, the 110th's do-nothingness and partisan gridlock is a blessing.
