POPSTop 10 Foods That Increase Cancer Risk (cont.)About 1,444,920 new cases of cancer were expected to be diagnosed last year–while 559, 650 people were expected to die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. That’s more than 1,500 people a day. What a startling statistic. In the book Cancer: 101 Solutions to a Preventable Epidemic (New Society Publishers, 2007) by Liz Armstrong et al, the No. 4 solution is “Eat a Healthy Diet.” Listed within are the 10 Foods and Drinks to Limit or Eliminate:

POPSYou May Be A Racist If You...........
If you're appalled that Obama voted against treating infants born after an abortion attempt the same medically as other infants born alive you... If you were proud of your country even before Obama's candidacy you If you oppose racial preferences in employment, school admissions and contracting you... If you think "we are the change we've been waiting for" is a line from a Monty Python skit you... If your grandmother isn't a "typical white person" you... If you're not sure invading Pakistan is a particularly good idea—what with their nuclear weapons and all— you... The tendency of Obama supporters to see racist impulses behind every criticism of their candidate has evolved into absurdity. Now even the first black president feels compelled to declare he's not a racist. By this measure, nearly every American is at risk of being branded a racist at some point in the campaign. To assess whether you're at risk just consult the list below ( apologies to Jeff Foxworthy

POPSObama's Supreme U-Turns The Supreme Court also looked at a Louisiana law extending the death penalty to the rape of a child. In another 5-to-4 decision, the Court ruled the Constitution doesn’t permit capital punishment for raping a child. The majority opinion argued the death penalty for that crime “poses risks of over-punishment.” Senator Obama criticized the decision: “I think that the rape of a small child, 6 or 8 years old, is a heinous crime and if a state makes a decision that under narrow, limited, well-defined circumstances the death penalty is at least potentially applicable, that that does not violate our Constitution.” Like many Americans, I agree with that. The problem is that Justices Ginsburg, Breyer and Souter don’t. All of them voted to overturn the death penalty for child rapists.

POPSoriginalism vs. policy judgments good point being made here. Breyer's thinking depends on estimate of a policy's outcome, something he piously refused to consider when thinking about other rights. .

POPSUS Supremes To Bush "Don't Mess With Texas" President George W. Bush urged that Medellin be allowed new hearings and sentencing. The President's decision came after an international consulate determined that Medellin was improperly denied access to his consulate before his original prosecution, which is a violation of a treaty signed by the United States during the 1963 Vienna Convention. The 6-3 vote means the pending execution of Medellin can proceed. He faces lethal injection for two slayings. Chief Justice John Roberts voted for the execution. Roberts was supported in his position by Justices John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito. Justice Stephen Breyer, Justices David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg voted in the negative At age 18, Medellin participated in the June 1993 gang rape and murder of two Harris County, Texas, girls: Jennifer Ertman, 14, and Elizabeth Pena, 16. He was convicted of the crimes and sentenced to death. He has been on death row in Texas ever sin

POPSProtecting Drug Makers From Lawsuits Compassion and conservatism are like mixing oil and water. Before Bush Inc. got into office it was argued by the FDA that lawsuits gave patients an added measure of protection . Now this administration says that lawsuits conflict with the agency’s ability to do its job, It seems like this administration considers any of the publics rights to be in conflict with its ability to do its job.

POPSGericht untersagt Ministerium Speicherung personenbezogener Daten von Webseitenbesuchern Da die Bundesministerin keine Unterlassungserklärung abgegeben habe, bestehe "die tatsächliche Vermutung für die Gefahr der Wiederholung der Tat", begründete Breyer seinen neuerlichen juristischen Vorstoß. Das Amtsgericht Berlin Mitte folgte seinem Argument (Az. 5 C 314/06). Das Ministerium habe nur juristisch unverbindlich erklärt, keine personenbezogenen Daten mehr zu speichern. Diese bloße Absichtserklärung reiche jedoch keinesfalls aus, um eine Wiederholung der Tat auszuschließen, meinten die Berliner Richter und entschlossen sich zur Androhung harter Sanktionen. Für den Fall, dass das Bundesministerium erneut personenbezogene Daten von Webseitenbesuchern speichere, droht ein Ordnungsgeld von bis zu 250.000 Euro sowie ersatzweise eine bis zu sechsmonatige Haft für Bundesjustizministerin Brigitte Zypries höchstpersönlich.
