POPSRaft Made Of Junk Crosses Pacific The tiny plastic particles were even in the stomachs of the fish they caught. "The solution, we think, is to end the age of disposable plastic like plastic bags, water bottles. ... Single-use plastics have no use in modern society," Eriksen said. The two JUNK sailors said they hope their voyage will inspire everyone to consider that when we throw plastic away, it most likely ends up in the ocean.

POPSFrom the horse's mouth: McCain's health-care advisor's personal blog McCain's health-care advisor, John Goodman, thinks we should deal with the problem of uninsured Americans by ordering the Census Bureau to stop calling people "uninsured." I kid you not. He says that since pretty much everyone ends up getting the medical care they need somehow or other, no one's really uninsured. If you read the whole post, you'll also see that Goodman is a little confused about how employer-provided health plans work in real life. This is also the same guy who recently said, commenting on health disparities between whites and nonwhites in the U.S., that "doctors just don’t control our over-eating, over-smoking, over-drinking, and shoot-outs in the hood." (http://snipr.com/3kuaa) Nice, dude. Nice.

POPSHarvard Dean focused on educational change In a CNN article on the lack of focus on education in the presidential campaign, Kathleen McCartney, Dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, calls on the public to drive the issues so that the candidates respond - and one of the key ways to do that is through effective early childhood education . . . before a child ever reaches school.

POPSNot All "Foreign Policy Experience" Is Created Equal Back in 2000, during a GOP debate, McCain was asked by Larry King, "What area of American international policy would you change immediately as president?" McCain's reply? "I'd institute a policy that I call 'rogue state rollback.' I would arm, train, equip, both from without and from within, forces that would eventually overthrow the governments and install free and democratically-elected governments.... As long as Saddam Hussein is in power, I am convinced that he will pose a threat to our security." In other words, he was a believer in democracy at the end of a loaded gun even before Bush was.

POPSMcCain Health Policy Advisor: There Are No Uninsured Americans! Voila! Problem solved! Just don't count them. Ignore them. Screw them. Voila! Unbelievable. Emergency room care is NOT health care. These people really are heartless, because they can't be so stupid as to not understand that preventative medicine is not only cheaper, it also saves, lengthens, and improves lives. So they just must be heartless. I don't know what else to call them. Unless I depart from polite discourse.

POPSVery Long-Term Backup- Rosetta One side of the disk contains a graphic teaser. The design shows headlines in the eight major languages of the world today spiraling inward in ever-decreasing size till it becomes so small you have trouble reading it, yet the text goes on getting smaller. The sentences announce: “Languages of the World: This is an archive of over 1,500 human languages assembled in the year 02008 C.E. Magnify 1,000 times to find over 13,000 pages of language documentation.” This graphic side of the disk is pure titanium. A black oxide coating has been added to the surface. The text is etched into that, revealing the whiter titanium. This bold sign board is needed because the pages of genesis which are etched on the mirror-like opposite side of the disk are nearly invisible.
