POPSSoldier in Iraq Kills Squad Leader and Fellow Team Leader The soldier--a team leader whose name hasn't been released yet--had apparently been in a meeting with his squad leader and the other team leader about his performance. When the AP says the shooter was then "subdued by other troops," my hope is that this included multiple buttstrokes. Comments; Dawson and Durbin were remembered at (4.00 / 1) http://www.dailykos.com/tags/I... The worst of all combat deaths. A special prayer for all those who must suck it up and soldier on and their families. along with Spc Marques Knight SFC Daniel Sexton CWO Michael Slebodnik at least one of those non-hostile unspecified (4.00 / 1) was a 19 yr old at Taji who shot himself in front of his 19 yr old wife via web cam. His death was like a punch in the gut... wooden, or other? (4.00 / 1) rifle butts, I hope. I would imagine no small involvement ofPTSD made this guy snap

POPS McCain and Email So right now Obama supporters are worried that the election has become less about the issues, and more about a war between personalities. And as for being internet savvy, I'd rather have a president who talks tough, instead of some dude known for his snarky emails. I don't want my president Googling his name, reading celebrity sightings on Gawker, or leaving anonymous comments on TMZ. Our country is already turning into a nation of twelve year old girls, looking for popular kids to sign their yearbook - except those yearbooks are now blogs.

POPSAll Hail Our Glorious Leader! Note: The official Obama campaign website is doing this. They're screaming about McCain running the sleaziest campaign ever, while they're actively trying to stifle dissent against Obama. Not refuting it; not ridiculing it; not even engaging with it. Trying to keep it from being said at all. If this is like last time, they won't even send a campaign rep to the show, which is just down the street from their HQ. No, just send in the phone zombies. And they're getting away with this. I guess because if you have a problem with it, you're a racist? I've got my Amazon Kindle right here and I just downloaded Freddoso's book. While I still can.

POPSUS Government Takes On Six Trillion Dollars of Bad Debt
This is like a bank robbery. Wall St. & Congress have conspired in the largest stealing of tax dollars in US History. This equals all the other failures of Bush/Cheeney and their cohorts. In comparrison, five (5) years messing over Iraq -- who had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMD's -- has yet to cost a trillion dollars, while this government bailout takes on liability for SIX trillion dollars,,, ... buying all these bad debt mortgage loans to save banker's butts and passing on that debt to tax payers. This should be no surprise. It's like FEMA in New Orleans. It's like starting a war for false reasons. It's like letting bin Laden run around alive and free. It's like running out of money to build and repair roads and bridges. It's like joblessness hitting the highest levels in five years. It's our country going down the tubes, whether for Wall St. bankers, Oil companies, or the interests of Israel. Bend over America, this is the final screw job of evil profiteers dest

POPSBest Way to Remove Cellulite Seriously, fatty cottage cheese looking thighs and butts are not acceptable. Thankfully, modern science has been able to develop some great new creams that get rid of cellulite! I have been using Revitol for 2 months and my legs look great!

POPSScrabble Lore When the Great Depression left architect Alfred Butts out of work, he scrabbled around for something to do - and came up with a game whose ingenious mix of anagrams, crosswords, chance and skill is still a winner, 60 years on. And yet it nearly didn't see the light of day...

POPSJailing Palestinian Children for Throwing Stone at a Wall Now how fucked up is that twisted filthy little society that they would actually kidnap, beat, torture and jail a boy for throwing rocks at a stone fucking wall? How low below the bottom of human decency can this mad state of Israel go? Everytime we think they can go no lower, they do just that. The state of Israel is a moral cesspool.

POPSNow I know what Photobombing Is I was reading bits & bobbins & she posted a link to this post about photobombing. It cracked me up and also horrified me. And all these photos are from MySpace (WT?!?) right? right. Anyway, it is pretty funny and I too have been a victim of the photobomber. Watch out..there's a whole lotta boy butts. Why do boys always have to moon someone?

POPSBent and Dent Groceries I went to one of these in Wisconsin this month. The products are very cheap. Some are "out of date", but even then they are still good to eat for a while (America is so pressed to make everyone cover their butts...)

POPSThe voices in the wilderness While the inept press fawn over the words of a charlatan we should not forget that he said nothing profound. Mixed in his barrage of blame and support for hate was nothing new. The press describes this as a speech dignifying racial harmony? The call for racial harmony is empty when made with utter contempt for the feelings of all Americans while showing your support for a racist preacher with an ideology founded on racism called Black Liberation Theology. There are those speaking out. They have been speaking out for decades wihtout appealing to failure, blame, pity, and excuse-making. We should not forget them.

POPSSouth Carolina Steps Up Did a light bulb light up somewhere? Are there some people that really care about education? Apparently so. Except for six holdouts a S. Carolina board of education actually voted to retain a biology textbook that did not include references to myth and fables. Let's hear it for sanity in the South.

POPSThe Power Of Love One morning, as they marched out to lay railroad ties in the frozen ground miles from the camp, the accompanying guards kept shouting and driving them with the butts of their rifles. Anyone with sore feet supported himself on his neighbour’s arm. The man next to Frankl, hiding his mouth behind his upturned collar, whispered,”If our wives could see us now! I hope they are better off in their camps and don’t know what is happening to us. Frankl writes,”That brought thoughts of my own wife to mind. And as we stumbled on for miles, slipping on icy spots, supporting each other time and again, dragging one another up and onward, nothing was said, but we both knew: each of us was thinking of his wife. Occasionally I looked at the sky, where the stars were fading and the pink light of the morning was beginning to spread behind a dark bank of clouds. But my mind clung to my wife’s image, imagining it with an uncanny acuteness."

POPSSmoking ban hits French cafe culture
Now smokers will be confined to sealed smoking room. I'm sure it won't be long before they will have to be 'decontaminated' before they come out. The idea seems particularly dictatorial, with the rationalization based on contrived statistics. What pollutes and damages more Smoking, or car exhaust and industrial pollution. The biggest advantage car exhaust has is that it doesn't seem as offensive, because people seem to love the smell of gasoline, even though it rots the lungs. How many of the detrimental effects of car exhaust have been attributed to passive smoking? Because the statisticians. weren't looking. Car exhaust is loaded with Carbon Monoxide We cannot detect Carbon Monoxide. This fact can make it one of the most deadly substances. It can kill because the system is unaware that the oxygen levels are depleted. Breathing isn't triggered by a lack of oxygen. It is triggered by a surplus of carbon dioxide. Something inhalation if CO does not create. We forget to breathe.
