POPSPoll: What do Saudis Want - A rare, in-depth look Still, the level of popular support for tougher sanctions against Iran is unexpectedly high: 57 percent. By comparison, 35 percent would approve a U.S. military strike against Tehran's nuclear program, and 25 percent say that even about an Israeli strike. Al Qaeda and other groups: While a mere 20 percent of urban Saudis voice any support for al Qaeda, that overall figure masks significant regional differences: 16 percent in Jeddah claim that they support the movement, but that number rises to 31 percent in Dammam/al-Khobar, where an even higher proportion, 42 percent, call donations to unspecified "armed mujahideen" an "Islamic duty." These regional differences might help explain why half of Saudis overall, regardless of their own view, think that al Qaeda's message does appeal to Muslims in general. - more @ clip source see also: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/02/12/saudi_arabia_by_the_numbers

POPSFlu zombies reported in Mexico City The flu zombies first appeared saturday night as the city sewer system failed and manhole covers were seen being shoved aside. The 'walking dead' have been impossible to negotiate with simply because they're dead, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has sent a forward team to attempt negotiations as early as Wednesday. Sporadic gunfire could be head as Mexico's Head of National Security urged people in a televised address 'to remain calm and eat an enchillata.' Attempts to bribe the zombies reportedly failed when Treasury Secretary Juan Corona attempted to meet with the zombies and was promptly eaten.

POPSNurses in Washington State file lawsuit against forced "swine flu" jab "MultiCare’s unilateral implementation of this policy blatantly ignores their legal obligation to bargain with the union," said Barbara Frye, the association's assistant executive director of labor relations. "Their refusal to bargain and to cease and desist forced us to take this extraordinary measure to seek relief from federal court," she said. The union said MultiCare’s proposed plan would require unvaccinated nurses to wear a surgical mask at all times while on duty even though there is a lack of research showing that masks actually prevent flu transmission. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/63144732.html
