POPSOSCE 'failed' in Georgia warnings Was it deliberate that the reports were ignored? Who else knew of Saakashvili intent to invade? How much more blood is on Bush's hands? The killing of civilians to achieve ethnic cleansing is so reminiscent of Israel methods in the M-East. Of course the Georgian troops were all trained by IDF officers, so any regard for human life is pointless.

POPSNovember Surprises In a desperate bid to close the gap, Christopher Hitchens says the McCain camp—whoops, unnamed sources!—are leaking some of their most lurid smears yet. MORE DETAILS AT SOURCE

POPSMcCain aide says: "Palin's Going Rogue." This is a nice, decent thing for someone on your team to say, isn't it? Not only are these Republican neocons bad leaders, poor losers but also disloyal cowards trying to blame others for their own mistakes. After all, who picked her in the first place?

POPSMcCain Beats Obama ! At first, it wasn’t evident that something extraordinary was brewing last evening. The polls in Virginia closed at 7 pm Eastern time, and that race was too close to call (no surprise there) since, even though Obama was favored in the Old Dominion State, George W. Bush had carried it by eight points both elections. But by 8 pm, it began to become apparent that the blowout some in the media and the Obama camp had been predicting might not be materializing. New Hampshire — where pre-election polls had seen Obama up 10 points — was too close to call, a repeat of what had happened almost a year before in the primary between Obama and Clinton. Missouri and Ohio were also too close to call, with McCain showing unexpected strength among working-class and Catholic voters. Just as in 2004, Florida was showing unexpected strength for the Republicans, despite the housing crisis. Then Minnesota began to report and, in a huge surprise, that race, too, was too close to call.

POPS$500 Billion Highway Bill Ahead? National Journal's Lisa Caruso does a nice overview of a brewing Beltway battle. We touched on the topic here: http://www.forbes.com/beltway/2008/05/21/washington-lobbying-transportation-biz-wash-cz_atg_0521beltway.html By the way, we mentioned a handful of stocks in that story - on average, those stocks have done horribly since.

POPSReligion, Caste, and Fear This has been brewing for some time in India with no coverage to speak of in the US. For a country like India with such a long history it's bewildering that they haven't eliminated such blatant rigid social expressions of division which lead to this bloody encounter.

POPScaffeine in the diet The caffeine content of coffee depends on the type of coffee bean. Beans from the plant species robusta generally have more caffeine than those from the arabica species. Arabica beans generally produce a more full-bodied flavor. These beans are the ones likely to be found in gourmet coffee shops. The roasting and brewing of coffee also play a part. Contrary to popular belief, darker roasted beans actually have less caffeine. The heat literally roasts out the caffeine.

POPSWag the Pit Bull Avoid the hard questions, confuse and confound the enemy, and always change the discussion and the topic. The Rovian leaders within the McCain camp know how bad the future is, and this bowing to the ultra-religious-dominionist Cabal is a brilliant, timely, calculated move. On one hand, it throws those insane nuts a handful of crumbs. When she is replaced, (and rest assured, she will be), they will have been pacified. On the other hand, if she somehow manages to survive what is looking more and more like a serious vetting by serious investigators, she pretty much locks up the fundie vote for McCain. Despite being a Creationist nutcase herself. Place your bets: http://www.intrade.net/ I personally place the odds are against her being replaced, maybe she will, i have my doubts, however I do think there are stronger odds that Biden will be, by Hillary. I may be wrong, just my personal bet.

POPSObama's adisors see problems brewing First he chose a boring VP, then McCain chose an exciting one. Then he attacked Palin, and forgot he's running against McCain. Now, his advisors are getting antsy ... next comes a dwindling money supply

POPSStorm Trpoopers at the RNC More details are being slowly uncovered about the preemptive actions and the "New Police Mandate". Blackwater Mercenaries show up more and more domestically as well. Sort of like the " Minute Men" in Sinclair Lewi's Book about the rise in American fascism. Written long ago.

POPSAnti-Trust Problems Brewing For Google? Good news for Microsoft! Some think Apple is the new Microsoft and the DOJ seems to think Google may be the new Microsoft. All of which means it's safe for Microsoft to act a bit more like the old Microsoft again.

POPSRomney Off The List??? McCain advisers this past week have been meeting with social conservatives to gauge opposition to those picks, and they've been warned of a brewing revolt that could include a walkout at the Republican National Convention next week and a huge battle on the floor -- especially if the pick is the Independent Democrat Lieberman. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll found if John McCain were to pick a running mate who favors legal abortion, it could cost him votes, particularly in some core Republican groups. Among current McCain supporters, 20 percent said they'd be less likely to vote for McCain if he picked a candidate for vice president who favors abortion rights.

POPSHe Saw It Coming What economic developments does Roubini see on the horizon? And what does he think we should do about them? The first step, he told me in a recent conversation, is to acknowledge the extent of the problem. “We are in a recession, and denying it is nonsense,” he said. The United States, Roubini went on, will likely muddle through the crisis but will emerge from it a different nation, with a different place in the world. “Once you run current-account deficits, you depend on the kindness of strangers,” he said, pausing to let out a resigned sigh. “This might be the beginning of the end of the American empire.”
