POPSHealth-Care Cost Lies Make Us Sing the Blues: Amity Shlaes 
The question is how can lawmakers get away with their misrepresentation? One answer lies in the structure of the Congressional Budget Office, the government’s official accountant. Its job is to establish an honest price: to tell legislators and voters what a policy will cost in the short, medium and long terms. That CBO work is important because Americans rightly sense that the politicians’ math is rigged. “Nobody told me you were cheating. Aww, it’s just a feeling I had.” Flawed Assumptions The CBO’s rules make it hard for the group to fulfill its own mandate. You’d think, for example, that the CBO would use its own parameters when it crunches numbers. Instead, the CBO must use the same mathematical assumptions supplied by the very lawmakers who wrote the bill the group is evaluating. No matter how improbable those formulas are. Former CBO director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, writing in the New York Times, described the group’s process as “fantasy in, fantasy out."

POPSAlien Abduction, Alien Rape, Female Aliens and Aliens Sex There is a widespread belief that alien beings have traveled to Earth from some other planet and are doing alien sex and reproductive experiments on a chosen few. Despite the fact of the improbability of interplanetary travel, it is not impossible. Perhaps there are Alien Female beings who can travel at very fast UFO speeds and have the technology and the raw materials to build vessels that can travel at near the speed of light or greater.

POPS Good Human Beings & Great Atheistic Quotes
Gore Vidal interview led me here not any intention to rain on good Christians parade.The Jehovah,s Witnesses have just done their relentless rounds reminding me that no one was working in the fields when Jesus was born as it was Winter, seems each mob have their own "Truth". Gore Vidal spoke of Roman and Greek good guys 1000,s of years ago. We inherit to different degrees instinct/ breeding I know not which is most but a sense of sharing, fair play ,& compassion, you can see it in a multicultral playground ,until bullying by older kids surfaces, thats the time for the shrinks to come in to "play" together with parents but I,m no expert on any thing a seeker of love & balance and wish in Xmas silly season for moderation and time to chill out with friends & fun with kids.The christian ethics were the only moral compass I grew up with and my fathers indifference.

POPSQuotes about Obama "Barack Obama is our collective representation of our purest hopes, our highest visions and our deepest knowings . . . He's our product out of the all-knowing quantum field of intelligence." -- Eve Konstantine "This is bigger than Kennedy. . . . This is the New Testament." | "I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often. No, seriously. It's a dramatic event." -- Chris Matthews " creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom . . . the man for this time." -- Toni Morrison "Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. . . . He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh . . . Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves." -- Ezra Klein

POPSWorld "Nut" Daily - Usual Tripe I literally laughed out loud after reading the above statement stating how D'Souza used "science" to refute Hitchens. The WND lives up to its reputation of dogma over intelligence by printing this drivel. The tired argument that D'Souza puts forth relies of the argument of improbability, the stock in trade of the ID/Creationist crowd. Although I expect some mouth breathers might find this so startlingly "scientific" cause it refers to numbers and other sciencey stuff that it'll go over big in the church pews. As far as people with even a rudimentary knowledge of science will discover that this is merely another pseudoscience attempt to refute evolution. It's been discredited in too many sources to list. But hey, it's the World Nut Daily. Enough said...
