POPSSystem of Lies... What happened to us? Yep, I'm a leftest loony. But I'm also an idealist, and I believe in American democracy at it's finest, where a free press challenges government assertions. This perversion of the press as marketing tool is depressing and disgusting. The fact that it is a long-term strategy for political dominance makes us little better than other totalitarian regimes...Russia/USSR comes to mind as does Orwell's 1984... How pathetic. Get the word out!

POPSVOA Censored in USA! I can see VOA propaganda being problematic--but shouldn't we be allowed to hear what they're telling others? This article is interesting (and pro-VOA) but also, we should have access to the media supported by our taxes.

POPSPeace Corps Lessons These speak to me...tho I'd add to number 10 "or know when not to"... My time in Morocco produced a few too many "don't get so close to me creep" moments so I'd suggest keeping in mind where SHE's coming from... :)

POPSDo it over--Fix Graduate Education I like many of the suggestions in this article (tho can only clip 1000 characters, so it's worth reading the whole thing) and am proud that my program, Community, Agriculture, Recreation, and Resource Studies at Michigan State University, is already doing interdisciplinary, problem/theme-focused research and teaching.

POPSDeath of Macho I recently re-discovered Foreign Policy magazine online. Lots of good articles and ideas, som worth passing on. This is one. I love the article, but think it's missing one thing: as traditional "male" careers (think finance, construction) disappear, men will start doing the growing "female" careers (nursing, education, government). Patriarchy is incredibly adaptable!

POPSReally Bad Powerpoint--make it better! Ok, so I am not quite the ppt nazi that this guy is, but he makes a lot of good suggestions. I'm planning to present my work in Amman pretty soon, and I'll be using these tips to do a better job. Consider reading the whole article.
