POPSHomeland Security confiscates Songwriter Hard Drive Take a guess at the nature of the songs. From the article: "And though Walla's laughing when he mentions Guantánamo, he's not joking when he adds that his record — which he's calling Field Manual — is "very political," packed with songs about issues both foreign ("The Score" tackles the war in Iraq) and domestic ("Everyone Needs a Home" deals with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; "Sing Again" is about so-called "morning after" pills and whether they're a form of contraception or abortion). Easy listening, this is not."

POPSWhy hate Gore? Granted, giving Gore the Nobel Prize may well be a political stunt somewhat out of proportion with the relevance of his actions. On the other hand humorless extreme conservatives have even more distorted notion of Gore. Their obsessive hatred of him is even more surreal than the hype. Why do they care so much about him? Why froth at the mouth over just one politician? Klugman provides some interesting answers, but also seems a little to simplistic. I have long been puzzeled on the vhemence with which conservatives react against environmentalism, and I don't think its as simple as pure greed.

POPS Global Warming Realities There is disagreement on whether other factors such as methane levels are just as important or maybe even more so than carbon dioxide. There is disagreement as to whether, in the historical record, temperatures led or lagged increased carbon dioxide levels. There is even disagreement as to exactly how much of current apparent abnormalities are due to human activity, although no one would dispute the fact that over six billion self-centered primates can create serious problems. If current growth rates continue, I guarantee that the resulting catastrophe will not only be unimaginably horrible, but will occur long before any of the dire prophesies of the global warming crowd come to pass.

POPSArtist Charts-Free MP3 downloads from MP3.com.au A site that has charts for MP3 downloads, and where downloads are free. It is Australian, and I chose the classical chart, but there are a number of other genres. There's bound to be some kind of music there to suit everyone. I keep getting more amazed at the things I am finding just because I took the trouble to look.

POPSThis is Iran: Tell Me What do You See? This is from a post from a blogmigo. Very interesting pics and very interesting post. NOTE: Considering how some people in clipmarks feel about Muslim in general (and Mexicans and Iranians in particular) if you follow the link just so you can throw hate at him, don't bother, please go somewhere else.

POPSIran declares US Army, CIA "terrorists" On Wednesday, the Senate voted 76-22 in favor of a resolution urging the State Department to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. While the proposal attracted overwhelming bipartisan support, a small group of Democrats said they feared labeling the state-sponsored organization a terrorist group could be interpreted as a congressional authorization of military force in Iran.
