POPSObama’s CHANGE.GOV Site Has, uh, Changed Quite A Bit $4,000 in value for 100 hours is $40 an hour, tax-free. For most students, because they pay no federal income tax, this will amount to an annual handout of $4,000 less the value of the service they provide (bravely assuming that it’s productive), which would be at most the private-sector equivalent of about $12 an hour with benefits, or $1,200. Space doesn’t permit me to go into all of the mind-boggling distortions this would lead to, but here’s a start (some information was obtained from the tables listed at this page at collegeboard.com): How do you manage a program with the equivalent of almost 4 million 400,000 full-time employees efficiently and effectively? Wal-Mart, which is I believe the nation’s largest employer, has 2.1 million employees. (Ironic/never happen suggestion of the day: Maybe Uncle Sam should outsource program administration to Wal-mart. At least they might keep it under control).

POPSIn defense of William Ayers But to call Ayers a "terrorist" and throw him in the Osama bin Laden pile is a reach for the moral high ground by the very people and political establishment that secretly carpet bombed Cambodia, murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians. ...Ayers is no martyr, and he's no role model. But he doesn't deserve to be the punching bag of the moral cretins who still celebrate lying wars of aggression and the pointless slaughter of untold thousands.

POPSOur use of meaningless words may be unsustainable Most voters would agree that a definite statement of fact from a politician is a rare bonus. I am sooooo sick of our PM saying "I think the Australian people would agree with me............ " especially when it is utter crap.

POPSSenior US soldier puts draft on agenda Armed with their massive amounts of arrogance, the forces seem completely immune to the demands of the people. Shows why most people will try to avoid military dictatorships.

POPSmy tahoe ad As part of General Motor's recent Tahoe ad competition, I made this spoof commercial to bring home to people that we are all responsible in some way in our daily lives for the war in Iraq, environmental degradation, etc...SUV drivers perhaps more than others, but we're all responsible. Here's John Woolman's quote to which I allude at the end: "May we look upon our treasures and the furniture of our houses and the garments in which we array ourselves and try whether the seeds of war have any nourishment in these our possessions, or not." (John Woolman was an 18th century Quaker who traveled across the American colonies advocating against conscription, military taxation, and especially slavery.) We won't have peace in the world until we realize our own complicity in war and work to eliminate it. PEACE NOW! carol

POPSA grunt in every home. Don't get me wrong I don't support a draft, especially for this war. This clip is dedicated to multitude of you supporters who's strong patriotic conviction demand a continuance of the Iraq farce and never hesitate to remind non supportes of who dimwitted and unpatriotic we are for opposing such death , destruction and carnage. Patriotism, well your chance to show your true colors may be coming sooner then you think. I wonder how long this war would continue if we had a Soldier in every home?

POPSWorld Bank OK With Blood For Oil Program ... indisputable is the fact that World Bank money intended for poverty alleviation is instead being used to buy bullets and guns to fight in one of the most brutal battles being fought in the world today.
