POPSGov. Sarah Palin was for "Bridge to Nowhere" In fact, the Palin administration has spent "tens of millions of dollars" in federal funds to start building a road on Gravina Island that is supposed to link up to the yet-to-be-built bridge, Weinstein said. Republican Mike Elerding also told McClatchy Newspapers, “he would have a hard time voting for the McCain ticket because of Palin's subsequent neglect of Ketchikan and her flip-flop on the "Ralph Bartholomew Veterans Memorial Bridge." Yet another outing of Liepublicans.

POPSFlorida town needs ACLU to show them why their principal is a BIGOT! And despite this, they still don't think he did anything wrong. Nothing? Punishing his students for something he has no right to? For displaying a very profound bigoted attitude towards some group of people, all because his outdated religious BS says he should?

POPSThe Top 100 Movie Films Another film list? The same old Citizen Kane? No - this one’s different Now find a film... So, you’ve scoured The Times Top 100 Films of All Time and have realised, with rising panic, that you’ve seen only five of them. You think Festen is a nasty infection of the toenail and that Deliverance is a posh pizza company. You like Duck Soup, but only in a Chinese restaurant. You’re a cinema dunce! But don’t worry, brushing up on our movie canon needn’t be hard work—after all, the films listed are pretty much guaranteed to have at least some artistic merit, and how often can you say that in the cinema these days?

POPSBush, Mukasey, Cheney Claim Exec Privilege, Obstructing in Plame Case But the Executive has no "privilege" to violate the law, nor to obstruct justice. And Cheney, by his own words, is not part of the "executive branch". Mukasey, the new AG replacing Alberto (Speedy) Gonzales, shows why he was chosen by Bush, i.e. to continue to obstruct justice. As even republican federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said on the Plame case, "a cloud hangs over the VP office", and Scott McClellan just opened up and published his account that Bush personally admitted authorizing the Plame leak! This is stonewalling to avoid prosecution for a "high crime" worthy of impeachment by George and Dick both.

POPSIllegal Acts of Wiretapping& Immunity They keep on trying to sneak one under the radar. They will only succeed if we , the people are not forcefully push them to live up to the constitution and the law of the land. Which is exactly what they are trying to change. Ask your representatives to hold the corporations and the politicians they pay, for transparency and living up to the law.

POPSReligious Intolerance Again we find an example of religious bigotry, this time related to homosexuality. You can bet that Ms. Beasley's hatred comes directly from the Middle East and from several thousand years ago.

POPSHollywood Still Forcing Gay Actors to Remain Closeted Hollywood producers and studios continue to have little faith in movie fans, and believe that if an actor comes out as gay, they will stay away in droves. This problem does not seem to exist in Canada, Britain, France etc. I can't help but wonder why it is that the U.S, even in these allegedly enlightened times, continues to be fearful of gays. I know the original Puritanical basis of the country is often blamed, but we must remember, those Puritans came from the same countries that are now much more accepting of homosexuals.

POPSWhat Obama should have said I've been back and forth about Obama and Clinton for a while now, but i must say that i was deeply disappointed and upset about the way he handled the Rev. Wright issue. i don't think he should have used the outing of his racist pastor to give a general speech about race in America. i think he should have stepped up and forcefully spoken out against Wright and admitted his bad judgment in being affiliated with him. His ability to respond to every issue with an eloquent speech is something i'm beginning to find scary and disingenuous.

POPSF-18 Pilot Returns Home To Canine Friend From Iraqi War Zone Dennis met Nubs in the Al Anbar Province where the dog ran wild at an Iraqi Border Fort. When Nubs was a puppy, an Iraqi sliced off most of his ears in an attempt to make the dog tough and more alert. Another time, Nubs was stabbed with a screwdriver, and Dennis nursed him back to health. When Dennis' unit, the Border Transition Team, moved camp 70 miles away, Nubs somehow tracked them to their new location two days later. It was against the rules to keep the dog in camp, and friends jumped in to bring Nubs to San Diego. “Once he found us there, it seemed like this was supposed to have happened,” Dennis said Saturday. “After he walked all that distance, it seemed like he was supposed to end up in San Diego.” Dennis said his first outing with Nubs will be a jog on the beach. “It will consummate the whole journey, going from the sand of Iraq to the sand of San Diego.”

POPSWorld's best-known protest symbol turns 50
Gerald Holtom, the designer and a former WWII conscientious objector from London, considered using a Christian cross motif but, instead, settled on using letters from the semaphore alphabet, superimposing N(uclear) on D(isarmament) and placing them within a circle symbolising Earth. The sign was quickly adopted by CND. How the sign migrated to the US is explained in various ways. Some say it was brought back from the Aldermaston protest by civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, a black pacifist who had studied Gandhi's techniques of non-violence. American pacifist Ken Kolsbun said: "The sign really got going over here during the 1960s and 70s, when it became associated with anti-Vietnam protests." As the sign became a badge of the hippie movement of the late 1960s, the hippies' critics scornfully compared it to a chicken footprint, and drew parallels with the runic letter indicating death. In the 1980s it became the banner of the international grassroots anti-nuclear movemen
