POPSAmerica's Last Will and Testament It astounds me that Democrats continue to paint Republicans as plutocrats when kazillionaires like Kennedy, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, Kerry, Clinton and even a guy named Rockefeller, sit in the Senate, and people like George Soros, Barbra Streisand, George Clooney, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey, fill their coffers. I used to wonder why Soros, a bottom-feeder who made his fortune in the sleazy business of currency trading, would align himself with the far left wing of the Democratic party. Then, one day, it occurred to me that I used to describe John Howard Lawson, a hack screenwriter who once ran the Communist party in Hollywood, as a man who was born to run a gulag. I now believe that Soros sees himself as a major honcho in a new Soviet United States, a man in charge of the men who would run the gulags.

POPSSomeone needs a trip to Teleprompter's Are Us and Some Remedial Math
Properly inflating your tires can improve gas mileage by 3%. Let's be generous and assume that one-half of the total possible savings would be realized if we all inflated our tires properly. Americans drive approximately 2,880 billion miles per year. If we average 24 mpg, we use around 120 billion gallons of gasoline in our vehicles. If, through perfect tire inflation, we improved our collective fuel efficiency by 1.5%, that would be 1.8 billion gallons. A barrel of oil produces around 20 gallons of gasoline, so the total savings available through tire inflation is approximately 90,000,000 barrels of oil annually. How does this stack up against "all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling?" ANWR: 10 billion barrels Outer Continental Shelf: 18 billion barrels Oil shale: 1 trillion barrels So, on the above assumptions, it would take only 11,308 years of proper tire inflation to equal "all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling."

POPSTesla Motors Gets $40M That raises the question of who'll work on the Roadster. It isn't as if anyone who can spin a wrench will be able to work on the car's lithium-ion battery pack, one-speed transmission and electric motors. Tesla has spent 18 months developing service procedures and a factory service manual and is about to start hiring and training mechanics. And what's the latest on the Roadster? It's still slated to go into production March 17 with a temporary two-speed transmission. That'll be ditched as soon as Tesla's sorted out the one-speed and improved power electronics module it calls DriveTrain 1.5.

POPSClooney Stirs the Writer's Strike Stew The trouble with the strike, which I support, is that the more the good shows, such as they are, are replaced with stupid "reality" shows the more the watchimg public gets dumbed down, as if they aren't already as numb as a bag of frozen liver.
