POPSCHIP Mr. Barton equates the two by comparing a city the size of Ithaca, N.Y., to the continent of Europe. “Ithaca is quite complex in its own right if you think of all that goes on,” he said. “If we scale up the population to 730 million, we come to Europe as about the right size. Now take Europe and shrink it until it all fits in about the same land mass as Ithaca.” http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/17/technology/companies/17chip.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink

POPS'Jerks' took Africa comments out of context: Palin "those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional" after the crap and innuendo she cast to the winds. The politician is nought but a hypocrite and not a very bright one. Back to your cave.

POPSMeet the World's New Reserve Currency: The Chinese Yuan The November summit in Washington could produce some unwelcome surprises which were hinted at by Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister, Olarn Chaipravat, who told Bloomberg News: , "The message of this initiative is for China to consider whether or not China would open up its banking system and allow the strongest currency in the world, which is the Chinese yuan, to be the rightful and anointed convertible currency of the world." Surely, the present financial malaise which has its roots in Wall Street and at the Federal Reserve, has demonstrated that the dollar must be replaced as the world's "reserve currency" and that America must be deposed as the de facto steward of the global economic system. Leadership implies responsibility and the US must be held to account for its failings. It's time for a change.
