POPSMark Morford on the GOP, Palin More of this great column: To be sure, it's moments like these that make it difficult not to take some delight, not to sit back and feel the ironic righteousness melt over us like hot Cheez-Whiz over an Alaskan mooseburger. After all, Sarah Palin is anti-choice, pro-abstinence, anti sex-ed, religiously fundamentalist, a creationist, about as friendly to feminism and women's reproductive rights as John McCain is to his beloved "gooks." But here's the saddest part of all: Governor Palin knew. She absolutely had to realize that her daughter's unfortunate condition would come to light when McCain offered her this bizarre gig. To which we can only say: Way to shove your own daughter under the wheels of the GOP Machine, Governor Palin. Ultimate sacrifice indeed.

POPSNew hyperspace engine could roundtrip Mars in 5 hours The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics awards prizes for the best papers presented each year. Last year’s winner went to a paper authored by physicist Jochem Hauser, calling for experimental tests of Heim’s theory. “This hyperdrive motor,” Hauser said, “would propel a craft through another dimension at enormous speeds. It could reach a star eleven light years away in just eighty days.”

POPSJill Biden, the L.A. Times & Me I used to work with Jill Biden at the Rockford Center many moons ago. The LA Times found out about it and contacted me. Jill Biden, Senator Joe Biden's wife, is one of the most authentic human beings I have ever had the pleasure to meet and, as is naturally attendant with authenticity, one of the kindest.

POPS"Onward Christian Soldiers..." Once again, the Christian Nationalist will collectively get their panties in a wad upon hearing about this. And in light of McCain's recent endorsement of Petraeus as one of three influential people in his life, this adds controversy for McCain that he certainly doesn't need. After all, he's perfectly capable of coming up with enough controversy all by himself.

POPSRobin Long, Faces Expedited Court Martial Tomorrow I wish I could go to Colorado Springs to provide moral support. I guess I should write him a letter. Our occupation in Iraq is morally wrong. If this is how you are to fight terrorism, then why hasn't Israel every used Occupation as a means of fighting terrorism? I know this is not about fighting terrorism, but for those that think it is, think about that. Turn off the TV and the radio and start searching for truth.

POPSSeven Common Dreams and What They Mean Missing an important event because you are late. This can indicate regret over a missed opportunity, inability to make a connection, or desire to pull oneself together. In Dream Power: How to Use Your Night Dreams to Change Your Life, Cynthia Richmond suggests asking questions of dreams in order to understand what this common symbol means to you. For example: What are you missing? Who is disappointed by the missed event? Is it only you or are there others involved?

POPS Michael Wins All The Gold MUST SEE PHOTO GALLERY: It was nine days of magical moments for Phelps, and he said the collective effort is what he'll remember most. "Every race, from one to the other," he said. "It's the whole thing. It's a great experience." "Everything had to go perfect. Everything had to fall perfectly into place and I was able to have probably the best week of my life." Probably? Day by day Busy, busy: Nine days, eight gold medals, seven world records.

POPSThe Five GOP Senators Killing The Energy Issue For Americans
The WSJ explains that by "riding voter discontent over high gas prices, the GOP has made antidrilling Democrats this summer's headlines." But, along comes the Gang of 10, complete with five GOP senators who are quite eager to stick it to conservatives and cave in to the Democrats. The plan is a Democratic giveaway. New production on offshore federal lands is left to state legislatures, and then in only four coastal states. The regulatory hurdles are huge. And the bill bars drilling within 50 miles of the coast -- putting off limits some of the most productive areas. Alaska's oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is still a no-go. The highlight is instead $84 billion in tax credits, subsidies and federal handouts for alternative fuels and renewables. The Gang of 10 intends to pay for all this in part by raising taxes on . . . oil companies! The Republican Five has potentially given antidrilling Democrats the political cover they need to neutralize energy through November.
