POPSC-Span CEO: WH Has Allowed Only '1 Hour' of Health Care Coverage C-Span wasn't the only "football" used during the campaign. Just a small clip from Lamb and his concerns that his request is being used as a political smear against the WH. I really hope all the whitewash has disappeared from this entire issue. If Americans can't see the tyranny that has risen up in the WH and this Congress then there is no hope.

POPSA Manifesto for Slow Communication - WSJ.com The boundlessness of the Internet always runs into the hard fact of our animal nature, our physical limits, the dimensions of our cognitive present, the overheated capac ity of our minds. "My friend has just had his PC wired for broadband," writes the poet Don Paterson. "I meet him in the café; he looks terrible"his face puffy and pale, his eyes bloodshot. . . . He tells me he is now detained, night and day, in downloading every album he ever owned, lost, desired, or was casually intrigued by; he has now stopped even listen ing to them, and spends his time sleeplessly monitoring a progress bar. . . . He says it's like all my birthdays have come at once, by which I can see he means, precisely, that he feels he is going to die."

POPSTop 10 Small Business Trends for 2010 In the 80s rescession, Charles Handy came of up the term "portfolio person" to describe how people would make a living. I have been advocating homeworking and the importance of the local economy (and local currencies) since then, too. As a content analyst, I have been advocating "analytical tool" for (self signifying) "data driven decisions" for even longer. And we are still a small business. But it looks like the opportunity to become a big business might be presenting itself. The data seems to be pointing that way (along with our order book).

POPSH&M clothing destroyed, not donated What a ridiculous waste. Surely this motivation stems from brand image or financial gain. I'd say donating unsold coats would give you a nice brand image and surely there are tax breaks for donating. Ugh!

POPSOur Second Civil War The very concept of principled negotiations within the framework of a great goodness -- America -- is rejected by a Marxist left who pretended that the Berlin Wall never fell and the manifest failure of Marxism was (again) simply a failure of tactics and not of strategy. The Marxist left continues our Second Civil War because it exists in a smothering cocoon of relative truth, invented values, and faith in a purely material existence. This group, perhaps eight percent of the population, has influence far out of proportion to its numbers in America. It cannot be ignored, no matter how silly it seems. This Civil War for the soul of America must be won.
