POPSFeds Refuse to Explain How Agent Injured Daily Caller Writer
(According the police department, no report will be publicly available for at least three days.) According to Medlock, who writes under the name Jim Treacher, he was struck at about 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, while crossing M Street in downtown Washington. Medlock says he was walking within the bounds of the crosswalk, toward a blinking white signal, when a government SUV suddenly turned left and plowed into him, knocking him to the ground. Bystanders moved Medlock out of the street, collected his crushed glasses and called an ambulance. McGuinn, meanwhile, called The Daily Caller’s offices from the scene to tell Medlock’s colleagues about the incident. But he did not identify himself to them or to Medlock. Medlock was taken to Georgetown University Hospital with a broken left knee, lacerations and bruises. He will undergo surgery later this week. At the hospital, DC police officer John Muniz arrived to issue Medlock a $20 jaywalking ticket.

POPSEnvironmental Amnesia While questioning what we buy, we've forgotten where we live continuing:...'I have steadfastly refused to frequent that part of town. But when my son needed a haircut for my father’s funeral, I found myself driving my old walking route to school, in search of a salon open on a Monday. It was supposed to be in here somewhere. While navigating the service roads, I tried hard to forget. But while my son was being pumped up in his pneumatic chair, I saw reflected in the mirror a retaining wall at the edge of the parking lot. I know that pattern of stones. I looked at them every day during math. I was standing in my fifth grade classroom. And the military recruiting center next door would have been the lunchroom. And that drive-through over there was the field where, every recess, my sister and Danelle and I ran, circling and whinnying like wild, wild horses." Good column --only clipped small part.

POPSThe Whole World's Watching To See How San Francisco Treats Its Home-less Residents
Today, we've posted a world map showing where our Blog Visitors are coming from. Ireland, Thailand, Europe, Canada & more. Also, comments on how Crosswalk Lights in San Francisco no longer allow enough time for disabled and elderly to make it across the street before the llight turns 'green' for angry commuters come racing down the road, honking their horns... Could this be a factor in our City's Pedestrian Accident Rates. And finally, a little historical perspective on how California and Baja California have been subject to political, economic & energy resource related 'attacks' by the Bush Crime Family, Enron, J.P. Morgan, Lennar Corporation and DBT Technologies (aka ChoicePoint - the ones involved in illegally banning valid voters in US Elections and were instrumental in widespread election fraud by the PAN Party, in Mexico's Elections). And a little bit about how Our SF Election Poll Workers may have been told to NOT TELL undeclared party Voters they may use Party B

POPSWould you just shut up already?! It brings up an interesting point that makes me wonder if we've escaped the "Me Decade" of the 80s - that both the loud talkers and the jammers think they are in the right. (Similar to the crosswalk rule in Boston - you hate having to stop for pedestrians as a driver, but you hate when cars don't stop as a walker.) As handy gadgets frequently bring our personal lives into the public sphere, it's interesting to see the interpersonal disconnect and selfishness that springs up with it.
