POPSSaudi Arabia bans sale of dogs, cats in capital This reminds me of the old joke, "Why do Baptists disapprove of sex? It could lead to dancing." This is an example of religious governance leading to interference in what should be totally secular areas of life. Of course we in the west pamper and coddle our pets, and often react with revulsion at the notion that there are places in the world where dogs are food animals. It's slightly more understandable in the case of dogs, because Islam considers them unclean, but that doesn't explain the ban on cats as well. The story about the Chinese emperor who cut the sleeve from a priceless robe rather than disturb his sleeping kitten has also been told about Mohammed. The article also fails to explain why the law applies only to men. If they realized that by allowing women to own pets, they have a privelege men don't, the entire fabric of Saudi society could come unraveled.

POPSWhy Was the White House on Cipro on 9/11? Cipro is the antibiotic for anthrax prevention and cure. Judicial Watch represented postal workers and tried to investigate. Guess who obstructed? Why would they not answer forthrightly a simple question, unless there was something to hide?

POPSCongressman Alcee Hastings Gang Let me re-write this News article THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY HASTINGS: “CONGRESS CORRUPTION is a cycle that poisons many of our districts and deprives our youth from pursuing productive educational opportunities,” “MANY OF MY FELLOW CONGRESSIONAL CRONIES who have been engaged in SCREW THE PUBLIC activitIes, unfortunately return to the same HOUSE SEAT after they served time BEING IMPEACHED OR ARRESTED in our democratic system, and the cycle begins again in ELECTIONS 2008. THE CONFUSION WE CAUSE gives us hope that there are options available to CORRUPT CONGRESSMAN other than a life of DOING THE RIGHT THING for the Voters.”

POPSThe Credit W Deserves In addition, trade with Africa has doubled during Bush's tenure. Yet you don't hear much about his African legacy. Bush came into office promising "compassionate conservatism." And he's largely lived up to that promise, but he gets little or no credit. Aid to Africa is only one aspect of that compassion. This week, an annual report to Congress notes a historic drop in America's number of chronically homeless people over a two-year period: a 30 percent decline between 2005 and 2007. The study showed that a new policy enacted to promote "housing first" for chronically homeless people - most of whom are either mentally ill or substance abusers - actually works. Instead of allowing these individuals to shuttle between the streets, shelters and hospitals in a vicious cycle, the new policy called for intervention to get them into permanent housing.
