POPSObama, Conyers epitomize Arrogance in Pants.
Thanks Joan for posting this...The Centrist thing of Obama's was inevitable, it seems, as he panders to the sheeple. WASHINGTON -- Former White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove won't testify next week before a House committee investigating the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman, despite a threat of a contempt proceeding. Rove is exerting executive privilege and declined the invitation to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, his attorney Robert Luskin wrote to the House panel Tuesday. A lawsuit is pending in federal court in Washington over whether top White House officials can be compelled to testify before Congress, he wrote. The Judiciary Committee has been seeking Rove's testimony since April, and committee Chairman Rep. John Con- yers, D-Mich., said in a response letter sent Thursday that he was "disappointed" with Rove's decision. It seems Conyers has lost his balls somewhere...won't Impeach, when it's the only thing to stop Cheney/Bush, and

POPSAbstinence is the answer These girls need more parental involvement, not less. These young girls know how to have babies, so further sex ed isn’t needed. They want to have babies, so contraception is beside the point. The problem is that they think that they are ready to have babies, and they aren’t.

POPSIsraeli 'suicide cop': family refute claims that he killed himself "Suicide-by-cop' Yes Suicide-by-height Yes Suicide-by-bullet Yes Public suicide-by-bullet and by height NEVER! Public suicide itself is unusual. Suicide is a private act, usually seriously done out of view. Not at a public event with two presidents and a PM present. And a band. That was a nice touch. Maybe he was attempting to assassinate Olmert and was taken out first. But shooting yourself and jumping off a height is pushing credibility too far. In a state where Arab mothers and children are responsible for their own murder from the sky, credibility isn't creditable. Where 'judicial assassination' is the norm, this fiasco hardly rates. When the assassin(?) of Israeli PM Rabin is now toasted as a saviour, what should we expect? A state born of terror and murder infects its evil on others. No good god could permit such evil for so long.

POPSWorld is 'effeminate' thanks to men's fashion... I don't know anything about the men in Kazakhstan, but I'm sure noticing it in our Western culture. On change-over at my last tennis match, two young mothers were talking about the horrors of *violence* in children's books at their local library but laughing that their little boys enjoyed playing dress-up with their little sisters' princess outfits. I'm sure I'll get a lot of flack, but give me a boy who wants to play dodge ball, king-of-the-mountain, search for bugs and toads, etc...any day. I believe a lot of men are having an identity crisis and I can't blame it on the fashion industry. I say "what fashion"?

POPSKenyan children abducted and terrorized- child soldiers and land conflicts ENDING OF ARTICLE: In the meantime, Kenya's land issues remain unresolved. And the powerful politicians that villagers and former fighters say lead the militia remain free. "The conflict in Mount Elgon is but the worst example of the poisonous relationship between Kenyan politics, land grievances and violence," said Ben Rawlence of New York-based Human Rights Watch. If the children are released, some can trace their families. Others have no parents left after murders by either the militia or the military. Peace and justice are far beyond the hopes of most families. Mothers say their ears still strain beyond the drumbeat of rain on a tin roof or wind rustling through cornstalks for the sounds of a vanished child's voice. Some scarred children will eventually limp home along the winding mountain trails. Others never will.

POPSTeens had pact to get pregnant, report says "More students are coming in and asking about pregnancy testing," the city's public health director, Jack Vondras, told the Globe last month. "What's odd is that some of them are disappointed because they're not getting pregnant." I can't find any word to comment this news... Damn it! What kind of children will grow up from such a kind of mothers?!!

POPSLimbaugh tops his own bigotry with this one. It's hard to believe what can come out of the mouth (butt) of Rush Limbaugh but his latest tirade is beyond belief, beyond disgusting, beyond loathsome. Yes it's very hard to believe this mindless little man could stoop so low as to praise the flood victims in Iowa, Illinois who happen to be mostly white and at the same time, condemn the Katrina victims with the same old rhetoric, innuendos and outright bigotry that the KKK type people carry in their bags of hateful garbage. Those poor hurrican victims, who happen to be mostly of color are responsible in the intolerant brain cells of Rush, for their fate. I know beyond the pale, is too weak a phrase for this criticism from a genuine butt-hole. The only bewilderment I feel of such a creep sputtering into a microphone that goes out over the airwaves is, WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE LISTEN TO HIS SHIT AND STILL THINK OF HIM AS A CREDIBLE BEARER OF THE TRUTH? :-? http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSMum's diet linked to onset of puberty What is inherited, can be passed on. Something that once we become aware of, and define, we can deal with, and interrupt the chain at it's weakest link. Perhaps preventing the cycle from being repeated. It's clear there is much more to inheritance that what is wrapped up in our chromosomes. One of the first things involved in finding a solution, is finding out exactly what the problem is. I'm not sure how easy it will be to get pregnant women to go on a 'weight loss' program, but I'm sure it will create a whole new demographic for the weight loss 'industry.' How many people crave celery ?
