POPSAsia News gives: 8 Reasons Why Obama Will Win.
It turns out the article concludes with their "8 Reasons Why Obama Will Lose. But reason r #8 way wrong-- Obam's campaign, without doubt, has been way more about Skill rather than Luck. And his endurance and follow through incredible. American politicians and political scientist will be studying this campaign like those who like military would always do some study of Napoleon. It's brilliant. It's historic. It has set not only new records and standards but done something that a lot of 'genius,' leaders have done: Obama's overall strategy defied contemporary wisdom, broke with tradition and then moved in real close for "the kill," blasting away with the standard 'weapons,' and parameters of victory. Like the overall strategy of North Vietnam General Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap at Dien Bien Phu against the French and at Khe Sanh against the Americans. Or Admiral Nelson at Trafalgar. General Patton at the Battle of the Bulge. Toussaint L'Ouverture Or USA Chess champion

POPSChristians and Al-Qaida Working Together As long as these “christians” support McCain, not by advocating solutions to our woes, but by demonizing opponents and terrorizing the masses, they will continue to reflect the will of terrorists around the world as they use whatever contemporary means available to get their political way - blind as they may be.

POPSPalin Brings Feminism to Republicans and Christians In case it was unclear, Sarah Palin is a "card-carrying feminist", excluding only abortion. Yet religious and Christian conservatives still praise her and claim the republican party is their party, although there is some growing dissent. No longer can Rush Limbaugh talk of the radical "Femi-nazis" then without including republican VP candidate Palin in that monologue, can he? . For a unique critique on feminism see this article which says in part: most contemporary feminism...is what Sommers has called "gender feminism," which is essentially based on a form of Marxist theory that substitutes "gender" for Marx's category of "class," or simply adds the two together, usually with "race" thrown in. This sort of "race, class, and gender" theory is typically a dangerous form of political moralism, with the same totalitarian characteristics as other versions of Marxism have proven to display.

POPSGreen Fluorescent Protein (GFP) -- Making the Invisible Visible The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008 is shared by Osamu Shimomura, Woods Hole, Martin Chalfie, and Roger Y. Tsien for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP. The Academy noted that "this protein has become one of the most important tools used in contemporary bioscience. With the aid of GFP, researchers have developed ways to watch processes that were previously invisible, such as the development of nerve cells in the brain or how cancer cells spread."

POPSFree Nationwide Wi-Fi Network To Censor Political Websites Blogs, social networks, alternative news to be filtered out I wonder if Clipmarks will be among them? If they want to block "alternative political websites, that go against the corporate establishment", blogs, alternative news and social networks, then half the internet will be banned! *LOL* Damn, if this wasn't so ridiculously fascist, it would be funny.

POPSSilly Canonisation Is Guarantee Of Deep Disappointment Obama and John McCain in November - the Second Coming versus Old Grouchy, The Little Flower of Illinois up against the Scaremongering Axeman from Arizona. He has been a favourite because he conformed to the first law of contemporary political journalism: the only good conservative is a bad conservative. His willingness to defy his party on everything from taxes to global warming, to take on George Bush, has earned him at least an honourable mention in the martyrology of American politics of the past 40 years. But now that he's up against Oh! Bama! he will have to be recast in the more familiar Republican mould of villain and scaremonger-in-chief. This media narrative is not only an outgrowth of the journalists' natural enthusiasm for a Democrat such as Mr Obama. It is also a clever ploy to pre-emptively de-legitimise any Republican critique of the Democratic nominee.
