POPSThe psychology of menus...seriously. I suppose it makes sense that at a time of financial stress for so many people, restaurant owners are doing whatever they possibly can to make the experience of laying out money for food less intimidating. That said, I think our national past time has shifted from baseball to figuring out how to get consumers to feel comfortable spending more money than they should.

POPSHow China Sabotaged Climate Talks & Shifted Blame On Obama
Why should rich countries not announce even this unilateral cut? "The Chinese delegate said no, and I watched, aghast, as Merkel threw up her hands in despair and conceded the point. Now we know why - because China bet, correctly, that Obama would get the blame for the Copenhagen accord's lack of ambition. "But I saw Obama fighting desperately to salvage a deal, and the Chinese delegate saying "no", over and over again." Lynas says the 2020 peaking year was then "replaced by woolly language" and the global 50 per cent cuts by 2050 were also removed. "No-one else, perhaps with the exceptions of India and Saudi Arabia, wanted this to happen," Lynas said. 'Took the bait' Lynas fears "the truth about what actually happened is in danger of being lost amid the spin and inevitable mutual recriminations". "China's strategy was simple: block the open negotiations for two weeks, and then ensure that the closed-door deal made it look as if the west had failed the world

POPSWe Can’t Sit Back and Allow the Loss of Our Freedoms By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano The privacy of your communications and medical decision making with your physician will be gone. More of your hard earned dollars will be at the disposal of federal bureaucrats. It was not supposed to be this way. We elect the government. It works for us. How did it get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives? Evil rarely comes upon us all at once, and liberty is rarely lost in one stroke. It happens gradually, over the years and decades and even centuries. A little stretch here, a cave in there, powers are slowly taken from the states and the people and before you know it, we have one big monster government that recognizes no restraint on its ability to tell us how to live. It claims the power to regulate any activity, tax any behavior, and demand conformity to any standard it chooses. The Founders did not give us a government like the one we have today. The government they gave us was strictly limited in its scope,

POPSCheap Natural Gas and Its Enemies But why would the politically active Sandlers suddenly enter the media world? Perhaps it's because they realize the political and financial benefits that can flow from influencing the news. We may be seeing a sample of this type of handiwork now. Among the first "exposés" Pro Publica undertook was an attack on energy companies for developing the Marcellus Shale, a vast natural gas reservoir stretching across several states. The "exposé" focused on putative environmental effects that might result from tapping these reserves. The technology used to unleash this natural gas from the shale in which it is trapped is called "fracking." Energy companies inject water, sand, and drilling fluids into the rock to "crack" it and release the natural gas. The potential for this technology is huge: America is a vast storehouse of this type of gas. Much of this is located not just in the Marcellus formation, but throughout the Rocky Mountain states. Also, the Barnett Shale region of Texas
