POPSPresident Obama's Ramadan Message (Ramadan Kareem) This month is also a time of renewal and this marks the first Ramadan since the President outlined his vision for a new beginning between America and the Muslim world. As a part of that new beginning, the President emphasizes that our relationship with Muslim communities cannot be based on political and security concerns alone. True partnerships also require cooperation in all areas particularly those that can make a positive difference in peoples daily lives, including education, science and technology, health, and entrepreneurship - fields in which Muslim communities have helped play a pioneering role throughout history. As this dialogue continues and leads to concrete actions, the President extends his greetings on behalf of the American people. Ramadan Kareem.

POPSThe Statue of Liberty calls bullshit on the "White, Christian Nation" crap Some people think that the end of "white" Christian hegemony in this country is a disaster . They think that this country was founded for and by white Christians and their descendants. Lady Liberty, out in the harbor of the city of my birth, told this son of immigrants that was a racist lie since I could read. Was a time when Italians & Irish were dirty, savage, Catholic semi-humans who could never be "real Americans". Go watch Gangs of New York . My father is from the Philippines, my mother's family is from Ireland. I was born in Brooklyn, and I'm a Zen practioner who lives in California. I am as American as it gets, baby. Diversity breeds strength. Inbreeding breeds weakness and insanity. Just look at European aristocrats. I am not more American than a white Christian. But assert I any LESS American... @ that point, I'm more NEW YORK than I am Zen.

POPSWhy is India 30 minutes out of step with everybody else? After the standardization conference, most countries "rounded off" their local time, as it were, so that it differed by a whole hour(s) from GMT and from adjoining time zones. But some, for reasons of geography or politics, rounded off to the half-hour.

POPS United Nations American Agenda Getting to work during the Obama administration. By Anne Bayefsky President Obama will have what his friends will call an unprecedented opportunity to tie American foreign policy to the U.N. ship of state, lance it down, and sail off into the sunset, never to be separated again. The predicament of the Saudi wife would be an apt comparison. The U.N. apparatus has mapped out the priorities for President Obama’s early days in office (taking it for granted he’ll be hightailing it out of Iraq) Run for election to the U.N. Human Rights Council as a vote of confidence in the U.N. “human rights” apparatus and the ability to change it from the inside. Decide to participate in the Durban II “anti-racism” conference in April 2009, and send along a high-level emissary such as the Secretary of State. Revitalize the Middle East Quartet, which drives the Arab-Israeli conflict through a multilateral prism with the U.N. as a full and equal partner.

POPSCongress Finally Challenges Bush on Spying Finally the fear-mongering is being proven overblown and that there is plenty of latitude within the Constitution for even domestic spying, with a WARRANT ISSUED UPON PROBABLE CAUSE. Question: If there is plenty of means by which to conduct LAWFUL domestic spying, then why does Bush government REALLY want greater lattitude? The only answer is to enable spying without accountability or any record of doing so...against any citizens they want!

POPSDeadlock On Surveillance Law Shows No Signs Of Breaking Soon
Democrats counter that it was Republicans who blocked a second temporary extension of the expired law. They maintain that the government has all the intelligence tools it needs while lawmakers work on a compromise As with every major policy fight in the remaining months of the 110th Congress, political considerations are looming large. Republicans, confident that they can win any test of wills involving national security, have honed their attack into an accusation that the Democrats care more about enriching trial lawyers than protecting the country The rhetorical battle will certainly continue. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the top Republican on the House Intelligence panel, plans to give a speech at the conservative Heritage Foundation on Tuesday blasting House Democrats for not clearing the Senate legislation. The Justice Department is providing the House Judiciary Committee with at least some of its opinions regarding the legality of the NSA’s warrantless surveillance

POPSThe Original Rhinestone Cowboy Rides Off into the Sunset: RIP Porter Wagoner More: Over a period of nearly 40 years, Wagoner placed 81 songs on the country-music chart, 19 of those duets with Parton, who joined his show in 1967 as a replacement for his first female co-star, Norman Jean. Wagoner and Parton were named country group and country duo of the year in 1970 and 1971 by the Country Music Assn. Wagoner's music often told dark tales of desperate people in stark terms that placed him in the gothic tradition of country music. This was best exemplified in his 1971 recording "The Rubber Room," a song about a man wrestling with the dark side of his psyche. "The Cold Hard Facts of Life," a 1967 hit, recounted the tale of a husband returning home early from a business trip to find his wife in the arms of another man. Without directly describing the outcome, the song ends with the husband sitting in his cell on death row, asking himself, "Who taught who the cold hard facts of life?"

POPSClinton calls for end to Iraq war authorization. This is sad. However, at the same time, it is encouraging that we will now have a National Debate about the war without the hedging from the Left. This means the 2008 election will be solely about the war on terrorism. NYC can be had by Clinton. I am confident the rest of the Country is smarter than that.
