POPSThe Seasoned Flag cont': There underneath the broken toys, the seasoned flag did lay. A curious man stopped by, before the trash machine arrived, What is that under the toys? Can this flag be revived? Attached to the cord from Old Glory’s top, an eagle caught his eye, The bird and the flag permanently attached, as friends they would survive. The man looked them over with a tear in his eye, How could anyone toss out such a symbol of life? “A new home awaits you,” Old Glory was told, As the man shook off dirt and did carefully fold. Once home, the flag safe, the man told his wife, Of the story of finding this symbol of life. They cried as they thought of how proudly it waved, At the home of another and what joy that it gave. They found the right place to display this seasoned one, Now Old Glory stands tall, gently waving in the sun.

POPSExplorers, Daredevils & Record Setters of the 30's The Twenties and Thirties have always been an area of interest to me. The Roaring Twenties, where we drank Bathtub Gin and danced the Charleston. Speakeasies everywhere! (One reporter did an experiment in 25 different US Cities where he timed how long it would take to be able to buy illegal liquor. Shortest time was 21 seconds. Longest was 3 hours and 19 minutes. That must have been a "Dry County.") America was in love with the "new" vogue and any fads it could find. Just a few examples: phone booth stuffing (25 college students at University of Chicago), Marathon Dancing, Flagpole Sitting, Racecar Driving, Monopoly, the :"Talkies," Radio Programs, Coney Island, Daredevil Flying, Long-Distance Swimming, Harry Houdini, Solo Flights, Self-Made Millionaires, the Gangster (especially Al Capone who courted the media), Exploring the Unknown, and Political Radical Causes! History is amazing!

POPSPress Secretary/Tony Snow I enjoyed listening to the man, was happy when the President called him, admired his convictions and values, and am so sad that he is gone. The saying that "the good die young", for me, was exemplified when Tony Snow lost his battle with cancer. I despise that disease. Let's pour $$$$ into to this, OK?

POPSTony Snow, Dies at 53 Robert Anthony Snow was born June 1, 1955, in Berea, Ky., the son of a teacher and nurse. He graduated from Davidson College in 1977 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy, and he taught briefly in Kenya before embarking on his career as a journalist. He became a nationally syndicated columnist, and in 1991 he became director of speechwriting for President George H.W. Bush. Snow had his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy after he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2005. In 2007, he announced that his cancer had recurred and had spread to his liver. He resigned from the White House weeks later and was replaced by his deputy, Dana Perino. After taking time off to recuperate, Snow joined CNN as a conservative political correspondent early this year. Snow is survived by his wife, Jill, their son Robbie and their daughters Kendell and Christie.

POPSProfessor Ticketed for "No to Empire" Bumper Sticker This is probably one of those misleading articles written by liberals. The cop was doing his job because the sticker was on the back windshield and we can't prove that that cop never ever ticketed other cars with bumper stickers on the same location, but about opposite political point of view. Here's the best part of their conversation. "I asked to get the spelling of his name and told him I’ll be doing a press release on this," Ovetz said. "And I asked him, "What if the sticker had said, Yes to Empire, would you have still ticketed me?’ " According to Ovetz, Officer Mitchell responded: "I don’t care if you’re a Star Wars fan, or not."

POPSGreat Lakes Basin Compact: Protect a Natural & National Treasure
The Great Lakes are a finite, non-renewable natural treasure - containing a combined total of 6 quadrillion gallons of water — one-fifth of the world's fresh surface water. The lakes span 10,900 miles of coastline along the United States and Canada. The surface area of the lakes is larger than the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire combined. In 1998, there was a Lake Superior-based company in Ontario that proposed to take water by tanker out of Lake Superior to Asia. This proposal failed and spurred the Great Lakes governors to take action. In 2001, they agreed to a framework to begin negotiating the compact. By 2005, they had a deal to take to their state legislatures...the base for the Great Lakes Basin Compact. It says clearly that the Great Lakes should not be the long-term water supply answer for any other part of the world or any other part of the country.
