POPSSpooks and Spies Among Us You just never know who is spying for whom. Good thing is: We have nothing to hide, it's the NRA and our government that have much to hide.

POPSA Must-read from Mother Jones This woman infiltrated anti-gun activist groups as a mole for the NRA. She also infiltrated animal rights groups. She had family members vending information about environmental groups to interested parties.

POPSGareth Richard Vaughan Jones 1905-1935 I must confess utter ignorance about this man. His story, legacy, and journalism should be read and studied by everyone. I encourage everyone to read the short biography at the link. This is a must read in my opinion. Also, his reports from Germany and Italy are absolutely fascinating and are free of the typical filter we usually get regarding information about this era.

POPSMoJo's Riff Blog on Garfield Minus Garfield Several folks have already clipped Garfield Minus Garfield (http://snipr.com/22bo5). Here's a review of the site from Mother Jones's "Riff Blog" -- I can't tell how tongue-in-cheek it is. It's great though.

POPS♫ Jack Yellen / Lew Pollack: A Yiddishe Momme Of things I should be thankful for I've had a goodly share And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement three flights up in the rear to where my childhood days were spent It wasn't much like Paradise but 'mid the dirt and all There sat the sweetest angel, one that I fondly call My yiddishe mama I need her more then ever now My yiddishe mama I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles oh I know that I owe what I am today to that dear little lady so old and gray to that wonderful yiddishe mama of mine

POPSTroy's Poision Pill Please read this entire article in Mother Jones. It explains how a Bush appointee made it next to impossible for a person to sue a drug or pharmaceutical company, or medical device manufacturer for injuries sustained from use of their product. The claim goes that if the FDA approves a drug or device, that that should be the end of the line. As long as the product meets FDA approval, not judge or jury should be able to determine that said product could be responsible for someones injury. This is another example of how the Bush administration has put big business over human lives. Is it any wonder he demands preemptive immunity for communications companies, when he already had the FDA preempt medical liability lawsuits? This just gets disgustinger and disgustinger.

POPSClinton & Dem. Party Between The Rock And ... This short opinion from Mother Jones, maps out completely the difficulties, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party are facing. I hope beyond hope they don't turn this into another long term fiasco that the Bush 2000 election created. :shock: http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2008/03/7470_why_howard_dean.html

POPSThe 10 Weirdest Facts about American Presidents 7. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president, was reported to be a very interesting character. When not having his head massaged with Vaseline during breakfasts in bed or riding his own mechanical bull, he was ringing the White House doorbell and then running off to hide. 8. So far, all American presidents have claimed ancestry limited to one or more of just seven nationalities: Dutch, English, German, Irish, Scottish, Swiss, and Welsh. 9. Grover Cleveland was the only president to openly admit that he had fathered an illegitimate child. 10. There were four presidents who were not actual presidents of the United States: Sam Houston, Mirabeau Lamar, and Anson Jones were all presidents of the Republic of Texas. Jefferson Davis was President of the Confederate States of America.

POPSNeocon Administration Covers Pakistan's Nuclear Proliferation Consider the hypocrisy of accusing Iraq of WMDs, or Iran of nuclear technology, while they knew that Pakis (an ally) were selling nuclear technology to "rogue states". It is also interesting that Pakistan was the place where the CIA was training Islamists in the 90s which later they labeled Al Qaeda. Meanwhile, as the article show, billions of US dollars are literally given to Pakistan for "aid" while they do all this? Pakistan appears to be the conduit for creating enemies which then are used to justify U.S. wars against "rogue regimes". By the way, it was the CIA that provided Iran over a decade ago with technology to begin nuclear development.
