POPSHard Roads Ahead Ex Governor Wise did one of the best things for our state which was to create the PROMISE scholarship program. However, he did not run again for office because he was a married man who had an affair, and obviously the voters in this state thought his personal life was more important than his accomplishments. It's a shame because our current governor is rumored to have many more skeletons in his closet, but he keeps them under the covers so to speak, and I've seen him do NOTHING for this state IMHO. Get with the program here baby, shhhhhhhhh . . . do what you want and get down and dirty when the lights are low and just carry your Bible in the meantime, it's God, Country, and the red, white, and blue.

POPSA Day Of Silence "Sounds great, right? It’s so great that the Day of Silence ruffled the feathers of the wingers — the Alliance Defense Fund is putting on its The Day of Truth event, scheduled for the next day, April 27th. The Day of Truth was established to counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda and express an opposing viewpoint from a Christian perspective" OMG, it's so beautiful to be an American eh? First of all, I came up in a period that you had to be silent or else baby. I learned very quickly as a bisexual woman that I'd better make the Tila Tequila choice--the guy--every time. Now, I'm here to tell you that I've made my choices and God dammit I wouldn't change a thing, but I would have liked to at least had a f****** option. Try being silent one day of your life and seeing how some people are forced to "act" to please society and then MAYBE you will know what it's like to be discriminated against, disapproved of and not liked very well by society for being born (cont)

POPSFinding Your HOT "Other Half" "One fraudster, who poses as an attractive blonde called Anna Ivanova, said: "The average salary in my city is £75 a month. The choice here is simple - either poverty or larceny. Now I earn £3,000 a month. People are fools if they want to find a wife on the internet. It is not real. I correspond with a whole division of Westerners - and they are all idiots. And I am quite successful in the business. I can wait to be noble and honest in my next life." She can wait to be noble and honest in her next life?? I don't think so baby. And guys? Hotties like this don't have to advertise for a man. Dream on.

POPSAlec & baby brother Steve have differing views on samd-sex marriage Normally, celebrity opinions don't register with me. But in this case I find it interesting that two close brothers could be at such political odds. Alec, totally favours same-sex marriage while Steve quotes the bible. Oh well, at least the fundies can't talk about the incredible lack of morality in Hollywood. All they have to do is look towards little Stevie Baldwin.

POPSIs The Internet Good Or Evil? This clip was inspired by a clip of NonStat's (link below) I woke up in pain caused by a GYN condiditon that I suffer from (during a certain time of the month; sorry guys!) and even though my pain meds took the edge off I still couldn't sleep and I couldn't stop thinking about NonStat's most excellent clip and wanted to explore it further.

POPSWhy The Hostility Towards Differences? "What to make of the girl who wears basketball shorts and baggy T's and enjoys shooting baskets with the boys; the black kid who hangs out with a white punk rock crowd; the artsy boy who "glams it up" at school in high heels and jewelry? His skin, his smile, his heart . . . it's the same as anyone else," Shakina pointed out. "It's blue eye shadow, that's all it is. What about that is so threatening?" As someone who felt they were made to "fit in" with the rest of societies "ideas" of how one is supposed to feel, I can totally relate to this article. I've asked myself so many times why there is so much hostility towards differences and I can never come up with a good answer. So growing up, I tried to fit in outwardly while secretly living quite a different lifestyle. The ironic part is that I found some of the most homophobic people to actually harbor gay tendencies themselves.

POPSI believe "I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it." Neil Gaiman

POPSPray Away Gay "What, if anything do you think Ted Haggard will say publicly about his experience? Certainly if the evangelical former pastor has not truly reclaimed his heterosexuality after the very strict re-programming, it would be a serious blow to the ex-gay industry if he were to come forward and say that he now realizes that his same-sex desires are neither evil or wrong and that these cures have nothing to do with getting right with God."

POPSPersonal Best "Train hard and train often,” said Hirofumi Tanaka, a 41-year-old soccer player and exercise physiologist at the University of Texas. Dr. Tanaka said he means doing things like regular interval training, repeatedly going all out, easing up, then going all out again. These workouts train your body to increase its oxygen consumption by allowing you to maintain an intense effort. “One of the major determinants of endurance performance is oxygen consumption,” Dr. Tanaka said. “You have to make training as intense as you can.”

POPSWar And Taxes What was it that GW said about Ken Lay? He hoped he was saved? I have to give credit where credit is due. What a hypocrite. What a liar. What a law breaking asshole. What a disastrous, failed, lunatic of a policy maker who is laughing the whole way to the bank. And we all paid for the deposit slip baby.

POPSA Dying Breed This REALLY concerns me. I watched a video called "The Future of Food" a few years back and my concerns are only growing. Granted, I'm just a good old coal miner's daughter from WV baby, and no scientist for sure, but I've got enough people smarts to know that this isn't good.

POPSImprisoned at Birth - Tough Choices in Tough Times On February 19, 1942, soon after the beginning of World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. The evacuation order commenced the round-up of 120,000 Americans of Japanese heritage to one of 10 internment camps—officially called "relocation centers"—in California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/internment1.html

POPSRadical Love Gets A Holiday "Here’s what Dr. King got out of the Sermon on the Mount. On Nov. 17, 1957, in Montgomery’s Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, he concluded the learned discourse that came to be known as the “loving your enemies” sermon this way: “So this morning, as I look into your eyes and into the eyes of all of my brothers in Alabama and all over America and over the world, I say to you: ‘I love you. I would rather die than hate you.’ ” Go ahead and re-read that. That is hands down the most beautiful, strange, impossible, but most of all radical thing a human being can say. And it comes from reading the most beautiful, strange, impossible, but most of all radical civics lesson ever taught, when Jesus of Nazareth went to a hill in Galilee and told his disciples, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.”
