POPSAFP: World hails Obama's 'brilliant' victory A victory for the American people, and definitely something to celebrate the world over. The article has quotes from various world leaders, just about all looking forward to a new era in American governance. A very interesting bit from the end: 'In Obama, an ancient fishing town on the Sea of Japan -- Obama means small shore in Japanese -- residents dressed in Hawaiian skirts did a hula dance in celebration, embracing Hawaiian-born Obama as one of their own. "I'm so excited because Obama shares our town's name. But even if the town was called McCain I would still support Barack Obama," said 44-year-old dancer Masayo Ishibashi.'

POPSJapanese man petitions to marry comic book wife continues: Befitting his desire to be two-dimensional, he listed no contact details, making it impossible to reach him for comment to explain if his campaign is serious or tongue-in-cheek. But some people signing the petition are true believers. "For a long time I have only been able to fall in love with two-dimensional people and currently I have someone I really love," one person wrote. "Even if she is fictional, it is still loving someone. I would like to have legal approval for this system at any cost," the person wrote. Japan only permits marriage between human men and women and gives no legal recognition to same-sex relationships. Japan's fans of comic books, or "manga," sometimes go to extremes. Earlier this month, a woman addicted to manga put out an online message seeking to kill her parents for asking her to throw away comic books that filled up three rooms.

POPSMilitia attack Zimbabwe displaced That this continues indicates the priorities of those in the UN and that the Ambassadors of each member country have been told to ignore the situation. It also shows how the power of the UN has been quashed by the fact that the veto countries are engaged in invasions and human rights issues of their own.

POPSIt's the end of the wor;d as we know it For the first time since the Spanish influenza of 1918, life expectancy is falling for a significant number of American women. In nearly 1,000 counties that together are home to about 12 percent of the nation's women, life expectancy is now shorter than it was in the early 1980s, according to a study published today. "I think this is a harbinger. This is not going to be isolated to this set of counties, is my guess," said Christopher J.L. Murray, a physician and epidemiologist at the University of Washington who led the study. It is being published in PLoS Medicine, an open-access journal of the Public Library of Science. The study found a smaller decline, in far fewer places, in the life expectancy of men in this country. In all, longevity is declining for about 4 percent of males. The phenomenon appears to be not only new but distinctly American. "If you look in Western Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, we don't see this," Murray said.
