POPSCan I get fries with that idea? Find out more at http://www.zazzle.com/webcarve* and consider signing up as an associate (you get a nice cut for sending folks this way. I will create a special template in a bit, to help viewers create their own versions. OR you can take the "M$M can I get fries with that idea" WITHOUT the graphics and run with it. I'll be putting up a scroll with all shirts using that phrase. Yes, it's a googlebomb. Yes, there' some money in it for me - and for you. And yet, it's still a great idea. You should steal it.

POPSAnother Breathtaking Bushism
George Bush, in his own person, is the single best argument against both intelligent design and an active and participant God of Justice. I mean this quite seriously; this is the sort of thing that causes people to loose their faith - or at least, put the greater part of their faith into causes and ideals with more immediate payoffs. After all, if there were such a god as the followers of Bush proclaim - the thirty-percenters, the name-it-claim it fringe of the ignorant, the stupid and the magical thinkers, bush would have been incinerated by a bolt of divine lightning as he uttered these words. On the other hand, were that the case, we'd pretty much have to live with the idea of the Divine Right of Kings, so I suppose it's a wash. Not to mention being a huge relief to personal security personnel the world over. Still, when a Bush president says they want to "help the people realize the blessings of liberty," that means everyone else hears a chorus of "Freedom's just anot

POPSThey aren't Conservatives, they are Authoritarians Which is the point to sociologist Altmeyer's book, who has been researching authoritarianism for thirty years, and can now publish a popular work (for free) because he's about to retire and can't be fired for his temerity.

POPSRon Paul: A matter of concience. Trevor Lymon, the unpaid and unofficial Ron Paul volunteer who is directly responsible for two record-breaking "money bombs" has captured the attention of the MSM. Why is he doing it? What does he expect to gain? What agenda does he advocate? What strings, in other words, come with this money? Concience. Strings of principle, of ethics and of concience - strings that Ron Paul is more than happy to be bound by. "I know my tax dollars are being used to kill people," Lyman said. "It makes me feel horrible." It's hard to argue with motivations like that - and it's hard to argue that such motivations are "naieve" or "unrealistic" in light of more than ten millions raised on the strengths of Ron Paul's principles alone, without direct or implied bribes. Ron Paul doesn't advocate single payer health care and he's opposed to social security in principle (I differ with him there, by the by). But there are few personally selfish reasons to vote for him.

POPSFunny, Hill and Holy Joe have said nothin' about this
I consider censorship of any sort problematic, and almost certainly politically opportunistic. And nothing could underline this better than an extremely violent videogame that neither Hillary Clinton or Joe Libermann have condemned. Could it be because they don't like the idea of condemning religiously motivated violence in videogames? Not that I expect better of them, but supporters and constituents should be able to, don't you think? I'm putting these two in the same bin with Harry Reid, D Nevada, who's clearly more interested in pandering to bush than being on point for the interests of Nevadans. Here's a hint - there's DAMN few Nevadans that are in the economic top 1% you keep caving for. Oh, and Harry, where do YOU stand on the use of video games to desensitize home-schooled ignoramuses to the idea of religously motivated ethnic cleansing? I bet killing Mormons scores big in these games. I've probably missed anything you've said on the topic, and you might t

POPSThe Truth In Pornography The more I think about it, the more I realize that the objection is not to it's existence, but to the existence of some of it's direct and implied messages that contradict conventional (and in my humble opinion, dangerous and destructive) moralisms.
