POPSTerrorist Racheal: America's Crisis Continues! First, the news came out that Food Network's Racheal Ray was a terrorist , wearing a keffiyeh around her neck to show her solidarity with Palestinian terr'ists -- in a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Yikes! Then Michelle Malkin announced she was considering a donut boycott. Now, Dunkin' Donuts is covering up for Racheal's sympathy for evildoers. But sharp wingnut Jon at Exurban League isn't buying it:

POPSPhotographic Proof of Rachael Ray's Terrorism Wonkette has the photo that has the right wing blogosphere reaching for their tinfoil hats . Wingnut Michelle Malkin is apparently considering a boycott. Have you ever seen Shelly Malkin? She's like three feet tall and weighs ten pounds with her shoes on. It's hard to see how she could possibly be eating enough donuts for Dunkin' Donuts to care if she quits. On the bright side, at least the wingnuts aren't freaking out of anything that matters one way or another. Let them waste their time with BS like this and maybe they won't have time to actually try to screw up America.

POPSA REAL Issue.... Where have all the US Jobs gone? And where will they continue to go until we wake up and smell the coffee? While we have become so distracted by some trivial and not so trivial issues, our economy and prosperity has been given away to the Chinese. We are IN DEBT to them, and they manufacture goods WE USED TO MAKE. Pretty soon, when we say NO to China they won't listen because they won't need to. We have given away all of our economic power.

POPSAn Angry China Is Lashing Out At Foreign Critics Internet demands for boycotts have unnerved some foreign companies. Following the Olympic flame's troubled passage through Paris on April 7, activists called on Chinese citizens to boycott Carrefour, a French supermarket chain that is the largest foreign retailer in China, starting on May 1. Anonymous mobile phone text messages accuse the retailer of backing the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing blames for instigating unrest in Tibet, a charge the retailer denies. Many Chinese are incensed that a pro-Tibet protester in Paris lunged to snatch the torch from Chinese athlete Jin Jing, who was in a wheelchair. State television in China has portrayed Jin as a hero for hanging onto the torch.

POPSShould You Travel to Repressive Countries? Using this summer's Olympics in China as a prime example, this article raises an interesting question: does traveling to a repressive country further embolden a government or increase an exchange of ideas that may one day lead to a freer society? What do you think?

POPSUnpolitical sports? - A memento of the Olympic Games of Berlin, 1936 Having rejected a proposed boycott of the 1936 Olympics, the United States and other western democracies missed the opportunity to take a stand that — some observers at the time claimed — might have given Hitler pause and bolstered international resistance to Nazi tyranny. With the conclusion of the Games, Germany's expansionist policies and the persecution of Jews and other “enemies of the state” accelerated, culminating in World War II and the Holocaust.

POPSStop Cat Poaching Now! A Cause We Can All Support! Okay, so I think this will be my least controversial clip ever. I believe that the time has come to stop shooting other people's pet cats. You may call me closed minded. You may call me a radical. But is say there is right and wrong, and if you shoot other people's cats and then make clothes out of them, then you are wrong. Further more, from now on, I promise to boycott all Swiss garments made from cat fur, and I hope you all do the same! By the way, I'm dying to know the link between this and traditional Chinese medicine! Are they sure they didn't mean Cantonese cooking?

POPSEgypt and Saudi Arabia snub Syria Syria "may attempt to introduce more conditions to the peace proposal and weaken Arab resolve around it," said Safa. "The danger of Saudi and Egypt downgrading their representation is that Syria will be left to dictate the summit's agenda on its own."
