POPSThe Great Tax Con Job
Income taxes as the “Great Stabilizer” Beyond fairness and holding back the Landed Gentry the Founders worried about (America had no billionaires in today’s money until after the Civil War, with John D. Rockefeller being our first), there’s an important reason to increase to top marginal tax rate, and to do so now. Novelist Larry Beinhart was the first to bring this to my attention. He looked over the history of tax cuts and economic bubbles, and found a clear relationship between the two. High top marginal tax rates (generally well above 60%) on rich people actually stabilize the economy, prevent economic bubbles from forming, prevent economic crashes, and lead to steady and sustained economic growth (and steady and sustained wage growth for working people). On the other hand, when top marginal rates drop below 50 percent, the opposite happens. As Beinhart noted in a November 17, 2008 post on the Huffington Post, the massive Republican tax cuts of the 1920s (from 73% to 25%)

POPSDid Toxic Chemical In Iraq Cause GIs' Illnesses? The chemical "is one of the most potent carcinogens know to man" and it can "enter every cell of the body and potentially produce widespread injury to every major organ in the body," said Max Costa, chairman of New York University's Department of Environmental Medicine. KBR, however, says studies show only that industrial workers exposed to the chemical for more than two years have an increased risk of cancer - and in this case, soldiers were at the plant just days or months. KBR denies any wrongdoing.

POPS"Gouge and Bite, Pull Hair and Scratch" Still, liberating an eyeball quickly became a fighter's surest route to victory and his most prestigious accomplishment. To this end, celebrated heroes fired their fingernails hard, honed them sharp, and oiled them slick. "'You have come off badly this time, I doubt?'" declared an alarmed passerby on seeing the piteous condition of a renowned fighter. "'Have I,' says he triumphantly, shewing from his pocket at the same time an eye, which he had extracted during the combat, and preserved for a trophy."

POPSMoonshine maestro gets 18 month sentence Sutton has a broad circle of supporters, and nearly 1,500 people signing petitions of leniency on his behalf. He gained fame through a book he wrote called “Me and My Likker,” as well as through Internet videos and cable TV documentaries in which he demonstrated how to make moonshine. That notoriety may have harmed him in the sentencing hearing. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Reeves introduced several of the videos as evidence Monday, claiming they showed Sutton “flaunted criminal activity.” The judge appeared to agree. “Your moonshining is a violation of the law,” Greer told Sutton. “I don't care how it is glamorized on the History Channel or the Discovery Channel.”

POPS Little Net Global Warming In The Past 70 Years
Derived from a large number of tree-ring density chronologies obtained from some 400 sites in the western United States, Canada, Europe, Fennoscandia and northern Siberia, this temperature record shows a dramatic departure from the instrumental temperature record over the last 70 years, with the instrumental record depicting dramatic 20th century warming, but with the tree-ring record showing nothing of the sort. It is very likely, therefore, that enhanced tree growth induced by the historical rise in the air's CO2 content - possibly augmented by enhanced nitrogen deposition (Idso, 1995) - has been increasing the growth rates of trees all around the world for over a century or more , Furthermore, this growth enhancement has been accelerating over time (Phillips and Gentry); and it is this ever-intensifying biological phenomenon that some are using to bolster their claim that the earth is warming at an ever-increasing rate, when such may not really be the case.

POPSCandy light bulbs bring holiday cheer to dollar store shoppers
Nearly every person in the store looked like they just came from the Jerry Springer audience. There were a lot of old sweatshirts with cliche sayings or Looney Tunes characters on them, bottle blondes who needed to touch up their roots, men who looked like Todd from Beavis and Butt-head loading up on Christmas gifts for their families, and many people who looked like they only came in there to hang out because they had nowhere else to go. As we passed one suspicious looking man, my friend remarked, “Everyone in here looks like they’ve done time.” As if by some scripted coincidence, seconds later, a woman in the next isle remarked loudly, “Well, I’m finally allowed to see my kids again, so...” before trailing off. We went up and down each isle, looking for the one item that would perfectly encapsulate the experience, the Holy Grail of garbage, until we saw..... candy light bulbs! Like a prop from a comedy skit that somehow migrated into
