POPSSmoke a Pack a Day... or move to Cairo This comes as no surprise to me. The entire time I was in Cairo I coughed, hacked and eye watered my way through each day. I asked my chain smoking friend why he bothered to smoke when he could just breathe the air. Worst pollution I personally have ever had to live through. Luckily enough I was able to escape by heading home, unlike most everyone else stuck there.

POPSGod-Drunk vs. Godless From the Atlantic Monthly's article "The American Idea" - Scholars, novelists, politicians, artists, and others look ahead to the future of the American idea.

Tim LaHaye is a minister and the author of more than 50 books, including the best-selling Left Behind series. I have clipped both pieces below because Atlantic Monthly won't let you view the entire article.

POPSChristian-right to form third party if Guiliani nominated? I suppose this would be a boon to the Democrates?

But then Canada has many splinter parties dividing up the votes in weird ways including the NDP (left), Bloc Quebecois (intent on actually breaking up the country), Greens (growing in support), as well as the much missed Rhinoceros Party of Canada .
