POPSRadical Islam over-running the streets of London Shocking.Scary. Insane. Watch the British Police be surrounded by a fundie-mental mob. From comments: In 2006, the UN issued Security Briefing #4776 in which it named Islam as the greatest obstacle to a global peace accord. In the report, they noted that "Islam seems incapable of separating itself from the severe abuse of women" and that Muslims "harbor an innate predisposition to extreme violence and close-minded prejudice.

POPSAtta Girl!!! Inspiring :) (courtesy of the amazing moonbattery.com) Excellent idea from a gal who really walks her talk. Check out what she did: Thanks to the wonderful “Pin-Ups For Vets” supporters who purchased hundreds of calendars, the 2007 fundraiser was a success. Here's a quick re-cap of the 2007 highlights: *** I made many visits to our hospitalized Veterans and Wounded Warriors to deliver the donated calendars. *** I mailed hundreds of calendars to our courageous deployed troops, to our honorable retired Veterans, and to supportive civilians here at home and around the world. *** I partnered with a non-profit group to arrange the delivery of hundreds of care packages to our troops overseas. *** I raised thousands of dollars for programs that benefit hospitalized Veterans. *** I received four American flags that were flown by military units in Iraq in honor of the "Pin-Ups For Vets" project. *** I rode in a "Salute to Veterans" parade and sold my calendars there. *** Th

POPSFat people next on the list........ Moonbattery.com: Environmentalists frequently scream that there are too many people on the planet, implying some will have to go. We already knows who goes last (environmentalists), but who goes first? LiveScience has the answer: overweight Americans. n the United States, obesity is at an all-time high; two-thirds of adults in the Land of Plenty are overweight or obese. Obesity is perhaps the ultimate symbol of resource consumption; it's visible proof that overweight people already has more than they need — and take more anyway. Overweight people create more air pollution than thin people do. It's simple physics: Extra pounds translate into extra fuel in automobiles and airplanes. Extra fuel means increased energy usage, oil drilling, and air pollution. (Plus you can get more soap and lampshades out of overweight people.)

POPSGreenpeace founder now backs nuclear power From article: The only viable solution is to build hundreds of nuclear power plants over the next century, Moore told the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday. There isn't enough potential for wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal or other renewable energy sources, he said. With development of coal-fired electric generation stopped cold over greenhouse gases, the only alternative to nuclear power for producing continuous energy at the levels needed is natural gas. But climate change isn't the only reason to move away from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels also are a major health threat. "Coal causes the worst health impacts of anything we are doing today," Moore said.

POPSBillionaire to set up magazine for snobs
Russia's super-rich love to flaunt their wealth. Soon they will have a magazine called Snob to help them Prokhorov, 42, made his fortune in the chaotic 1990s when businessmen bought up parts of former Soviet industries for a fraction of their real value. The Forbes Rich List ranked Prokhorov as the 24th richest person in the world. He is one of the owners of Norilsk Nickel, the world's biggest nickel producer, and Polyus Gold, Russia's biggest gold producer. According to the Oxford English Dictionary's online edition, www.askoxford.com, a snob is: "A person who has an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth and who looks down on those regarded as socially inferior." Shmarov said Russians attach a different meaning to the word, "Snob to us means a person who is a 'self-made man', a person who has gained a right to snobbishness," he said emphasizing the main difference with the British meaning which he said referred to inherited wealth.

POPSFor those touched most by 9/11, a turning point in faith rest of article: Brian Jordan, a Franciscan priest who ministered to rescue and recovery workers, says there were no atheists at Ground Zero — suddenly everyone had a spiritual life, no matter how tortured or confused. Jay Rosenbaum, a Long Island rabbi, says he was almost overwhelmed when he arrived at Ground Zero on Sept. 12. But later, he conducted a simple prayer service in vestments that included a hard hat, combat boots and a prayer shawl. “Our mission is to look not only at the devastation there,” he said in his impromptu sermon, pointing to the shell of one tower, “but the devotion here” — the dusty, exhausted, rescue workers around him. “It was one of the most affirming moments of my life,” he says now. “I felt this was something I was worthy of doing.” To others, 9/11 seems to belie the notion of an all-loving, all-powerful God. Sam Harris began writing The End of Faith, his best-selling attack on religion, the day after the attacks. Jonathan Miller, who wrote

POPSEco-therapy........unreal. another gem from moonbattery.com "Fear, grief, anger, confusion and depression," Edwards says, pointing to the negativity that has manifested itself in real-life symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, fibromyalgia and fatigue. "I had so much pathos. It's so sad," says Edwards, who moved from California's crowded Santa Monica to a secluded cabin in Los Padres National Forest to help her cope. Now, she says: "We only drive to the grocery store every three weeks. We have our own source of water. We compost and no longer heat every room on the first floor." Edwards suffers from eco-anxiety, the growing angst experienced by those who can't handle the thought that they — or anyone — are in some way contributing to global warming, species extinction and dwindling natural resources. She recently launched a blog called "Eco-Anxiety" because she believes environmental dangers should be taken seriously. "This is severely disturbing," she says. Experts say discussions about t

POPSFather of Deployed Soldier Cited for Caring for Son’s Dogs - VIDEO This is where the problems begin! Cumberland County, NC officials say that Henry now has two dogs too many. He had three of his own and is caring for his son’s two dog until his deployment ends in December. “If my son’s in Iraq, I can’t watch his dogs according to the county,” Carroll said. Officials, even though they received a letter from Henry’s son Adam’s platoon leader stating that two of the dogs belong to Adam, are not buying it, as they say. They said, “Since Adam didn’t sign it, it really might not be valid because it was signed by his platoon leader.” They say that Henry is running a an unlicensed kennel although they seem to be having a difficult time in finding the proper codes to cite.

POPSTop Scientist cools to global warming From Moonbattery.com: Kerry Emanuel of MIT used to get his name in the papers by claiming that global warming caused Katrina. His opportunistic findings were eagerly seized upon by the deranged Robert Kennedy Jr., who tried to spin them as proof that George W. Bush caused the hurricane. In an attempt to retain some credibility, Emanuel is now backing away from his hysterical claim that global warming will cause a plague of hurricanes. Now he says there will be a reduction in the number of hurricanes over the next two centuries.
