POPSThe sticking points in the bailout plan The funny thing is that unless this creates jobs - that there will be no one with $$ to pay taxes the years ahead. Likewise - look out social security, medicaid, etc as all that will be sucked up by this bailout.

POPS“Vodka Is Pretty Much The Same No Matter What Brand You Buy” Total BS, I agree if you get “vaule brands” (Absolute, etc) they are all the same and the high end stuff is close to each other in comparison but I can tell an absolute from a grey goose from a Chopin (BEST) and potato vodka is the only way to go! In my opinionthere is three tiers of vodka. Normal Vodka (Absolute, etc,) for mixing with anything, High End (Grey Goose, Ketel One, etc,) I’d hate to mix it but I won’t hurt ya if you do, and High Quality Potato Vodka (Chopin, etc) that should never be mixed with anything but pure filtered ice!

POPSBiofuels Causing Food Crisis To Worsen! 
There are many articles, news items and whatever tickles your fancy, that will give you information about how biofuels such as corn, are creating (or not creating) a hunger crisis. It's enough to make a grown man or woman cry. I know I've cried more than once on seeing hungry human beings filmed in all their emaciation ... (I could never figure out... if they can get cameras out there to these poor folks why the hell can't they get food to them??... but that's just an idiosyncrasy of mine.) Anyway, there's a chart that tells you exactly which food or plant crop can more accurately help us get those needs we've become accustomed to. Like going from point A to point B and keeping our buns warm or cool, etceteras, without causing starvation to others. You'll find the chart by following this link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/dayart/20080503/biofuels_compare.gif We've got the crops but you will be amazed at how the technology is NOT ready! Why NOT??? :eek:

POPSEconomy Freezes Amid A Media Meltdown Every broadcast, it seems, warned about something involving the economy — jobs, growth, housing, outsourcing, retail sales. You name it, the media covered it. And their reporting was often wrong. Take gas prices, a topic near and dear to our wallets these days. This spring, that gasoline could get close to $4. But for years the networks have warned that gas prices would go that high and more. At least 20 times from 2005 to 2007, the networks cautioned about prices hitting $5, and another six times for $6 or higher. Sometimes journalists gave up promoting cataclysm and decided to cheerlead for it. In a Feb. 20, 2008, column, the Washington Post's Steven Pearlstein attacked Wall Street, saying "the best thing that could happen to our economy is for a dozen high-profile hedge funds to collapse; for investment banking to enter a long, deep freeze; for a major bank to fail."

POPSBeware the Credit-Industrial Complex BusinessWeek reported on a student whose bank, Pittsburgh's PNC, allowed him to charge $230 on his debit card even though his account was in the hole. PNC charged him $217 in fees for the privilege. A PNC spokesperson says such a policy "helps our customers avoid embarrassment." The student said he would rather have been embarrassed than gouged.
