POPSMark Morford on all the Numbers making us dizzy
Read the colmn, here's a bit more: but it's best not to think about it too much. Fair enough? I know, it's tough not to feel a little shaken, unnerved, openly disgusted. A $700 billion bailout of a Bush-gutted economy by an already nearly bankrupt U.S. Treasury? Two trillion for a failed war in Iraq? Ten trillion in national debt and a $480 billion budget deficit (not counting the $700B for the bailout and it could be much more) and a record trade deficit, with all those numbers nearly double (if not far more) of what they were in 2001? Why, you'd almost think someone -- or maybe an entire administration, perhaps the most irresponsible in modern U.S. history -- was largely to blame. But they're not! Because they're just numbers! Like these: 47 million Americans without health insurance (up 30 percent from eight years ago). The U.S. dollar now worth roughly half of its 2001 value. More than 150 signing statements challenging over 1,100 provisions of federal law from a president

POPSMother Dog Rescues Abandoned Baby, Saves Baby Girls Life! A DOG has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an abandoned baby girl, placing her safely alongside her puppies. The country's media are calling her "the miracle baby". She was born prematurely to a girl, 14, in a shanty town outside Buenos Aires. The Argentine media has descended on the shanty town, talking of "the Argentine Romulus and Remus", the founders of Rome abandoned as babies and rescued by a wolf almost 3000 years ago. La China, worried about her puppies, is reported to be petrified by her new-found fame, and her owner said he was worried she was not eating.

POPSCloned Puppies: Sure, They're Cute, But at What Cost? Yet defenders of the industry say that it's wrong to apply analogies taken from other species' clones: Despite the difficulties, they insist, cloned dogs tend to be healthy, not least because scientists have spent the last decade figuring out how to do it. "Clone enough dogs, and occasionally you have offspring that aren't perfect," said Lou Hawthorne, CEO of both BioArts and the late Genetic Savings and Clone. "But it's comparable to what you have through conventional breeding."

POPSYou're Not Getting Your Old Dog Back This story highlights what I think is one of the more common misconceptions about cloning. It sounds like the woman in this article feels like she's getting her old dog Booger back. While it's true she's getting an exact genetic replica of Booger, he could end up being very different than the original. Much of Boogers personality and capabilities were the result not only of his genetic make-up, but of his life experience. There's no way to exactly duplicate that experience, so it's very likely the cloned Boogers will be somewhat if not very different than the original. This could be true for some of his physical characteristics as well, as some of them are influenced by life's experiences. While I believe cloning can hold great promise, people need to realize it can't be used to bring a dead loved one back to life.

POPSThe Battle Hymn of The New Republic You'll be sorry how he's used ya; you'll be sorry how he's used ya, Chris you'll be sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on. Mine eyes have seen the New York Times as it descends to naught; The liberal pup who inherited it all has driven it to aught. This murderer of the Old Gray Dame's a spoiled and stupid snot; But this dupe keeps marching on. You'll be sorry how he's used ya; you'll be sorry how he's used ya, You'll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on. Mine eyes have seen these cattle as they kneel and meekly moo; They're hooves are trampling out our votes uncaring what they do. Where once there was some honesty there's now no news that's true; But these dupes keep marching on. You'll be sorry how he's used ya; you'll be sorry how he's used ya, You'll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on. Russ Vaughn
