POPSLessons in Manliness: Theodore Roosevelt and the Spanish-American War "Theodore Roosevelt, who arguably accomplished more than any other American man, called his experience in the Spanish-American War, “the great day of my life.” It was during his charge up Kettle Hill that Theodore Roosevelt’s leadership and confidence finally crystallized. He passed the test and emerged as a leader capable of ascending to the presidency."

POPSThings Americans don't like to talk about Read the whole article, it is illuminating to say the least. I thought this passage said it best: " If you listen to a lot of conservatives, they'll tell you that the difference between them and us is that conservatives love America and liberals hate America.... They don't get it. We love America just as much as they do. But in a different Way. You see, they love America the way a 4-year-old loves her Mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world."

POPSRape in Ireland: Females at fault!!! I'm very disappointed in the attitude still about rape in Ireland. Even more surprised that other females blame the victim equally with the males. So don't expect sympathy from your sisters. The one ray of sunshine is that the younger the questioned, the more sympathetic the answer. Older people always find it harder to understand the dress of the young. They forget the 60's when we wore even less or none.

POPS Dreams of Flying Years ago I was half-owner of an ultra light aircraft. Due to circumstances I never got my pilots license but I did get 100% on my ground test which meant I needed to be a weather person of sorts and know all sorts of flight regulations. I could take off and land with a co-pilot. Flying was the most wonderful experience I ever had. Sitting in what was basically a lawn chair seat with aluminum struts and cables surrounding me supporting the wings and a noisy engine hanging over my head and a beautiful propeller in the front. . Nothing sleek like in the picture. Engine stall while you're up there , not a problem, you just glided back to earth, being careful to stay away from water, and tall trees. I miss those days.

POPSIt's Okay To Be Afraid Don't let such fear rule your life. If I did, I would never ever be able to get on an aeroplane. To say I feel fear every single time I travel by air, would an understatement. I hope the desensitizing bit kicks in soon, because it never seems to be get any easier, "flooding" or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mX9-2xuyP8

POPSMay: National Masturbation Month for Mothers!
2. More Fun For Dad! It seems the more women masturbate, the more open they are to their partner’s sexual advances. At first this seems odd. If she’s taking care of her “needs” by herself, wouldn’t she want less sex? Turns out the answer is no. Now whether that’s because masturbating makes women hornier, or horny women masturbate more is for you to decide. Also, women like to have multiple orgasms…Maybe the first one she gives herself is like an appetizer, gearing her up for more action with her man. 4. Strengthens the Pelvic Floor! Do your Kegels, do your kegels! It’s like a mother’s mantra during and after pregnancy. Luckily, orgasms are another great way to tone up those inner muscles. This may be one of the only honestly fun kinds of exercise that exists. 3. It Promotes Sleep! Mothers are notorious for being in bad moods due to lack of sleep, especially new Moms who wake up frequently to nurse or give bottles during the night. Masturbating at bed time is a perfect way to help you

POPSTucker the Gay Basher Gets Bashed MSNBC is finally dumping Tucker Carlson's 6:00 P.M. show. The bully boy who bragged that he and a friend gay bashed a man in a public toilet and thought it was hilariously funny, is finally getting a professional bashing of his own. And I for one could not be happier.

POPSTroy's Poision Pill Please read this entire article in Mother Jones. It explains how a Bush appointee made it next to impossible for a person to sue a drug or pharmaceutical company, or medical device manufacturer for injuries sustained from use of their product. The claim goes that if the FDA approves a drug or device, that that should be the end of the line. As long as the product meets FDA approval, not judge or jury should be able to determine that said product could be responsible for someones injury. This is another example of how the Bush administration has put big business over human lives. Is it any wonder he demands preemptive immunity for communications companies, when he already had the FDA preempt medical liability lawsuits? This just gets disgustinger and disgustinger.

POPSFOX: The Pants are Off the Girls!!! "And then Earhardt coyly continues, "Would you like us to wear pants, Brian?" "No, no!" Brian exclaims. (She does have great legs, I admit.) "It's very hard to please Brian," a second female anchor jokes. And then Brian, who sounds like a great guy, announces, "If I were to run for office, I would run on a pro-skirt platform. I am firmly behind the skirts." Another male anchor adds, "You're firmly behind the skirts? Is that what you just said?" At this point, the second female anchor interjects, a bit sternly, "I think you should stop now." Uhhhh...yeah. What's interesting here is that Earhardt said not "we don't wear pants," but "we don't wear the pants." It would have made sense for Earhardt to say "we are feminine, (ergo) we don't wear pants," which of course would not have been actually true but would have been stereotypically true insofar as the Western construct of feminine appearance. But Earhardt says, "here at Fox we like to be feminine, so we don't wear the pants." A

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.
