POPSHow to save a wet cell phone I could have used this bit of info last year. Hopefully this will save some of you from having busted cell phones. Gotta wonder who first did this to find out that it worked.

POPSFOX Blows It It didn't get any better for FOX as the situation developed throughout the day. While Carl Cameron was on the air at 4:15PM EST reporting that all the hostages had been released, repeating it over and over again as if it were fact, CNN and MSNBC were cautiously reporting that according to police the situation was still uncertain, fluid and no one knew how many hostages still remained inside the campaign office. At 5:37PM EST, as seen live by millions, another hostage, a female, was released and at 6:13PM, a male hostage was released. FOX had gotten it all wrong. So much for corroborating information before going on the air with it, not to mention getting it all wrong. But accurate and responsible reporting would be asking just a little too much from a pop-entertainment channel now wouldn't it. In an interesting and revealing sidenote, Cameron reported the release of the female hostage this way. She fit's the description of your typical Clinton campaign volunteer.

POPSSix Blackwater Guards 'May' Be Charged in Iraq Massacre Immunity and impunity have gone hand in hand. Representative Jim McDermott. "The private contracting thing is the most erosive thing that this administration has done. You look at all the things that are being run by private contractors, you simply cannot be handing money to a private contractor who is not under the law of that country or the law of this country and can do anything they want. They're really -- they're rogue outfits." Blackwater and at least 300 other companies have been hired by the US government for privatized armed services in Iraq to the tune of about $6 billion in taxpayer money..

POPSCop Says: Stop Pot Arrests! The war on drugs has been as successful as the war in Iraq. Perhaps it's time we re-evaluated this war against our own citizens, as this officer of the law suggests.

POPSBlackwater Busted, Prince Has "Compliance Challenges" Makes one smile. The arrogant Prince of Blackwater just got nailed with a big fine from the same corrupt Federal government they contracted with. The "war on terrorism" is so profitable. What happened to all the hardware that ended up on the black market in Iraq? (Someone knows). "Compliance challenges", he says. More like rogue operations. This is the same company that shoots whoever is in the area and quickly leaves, whose crimes even U.S. military personnel have reported. Dirty mercenaries are never held accountable for war crimes because they are independent contractors. This is the least the State Dept has on them, just the tip of the proverbial ice berg. Iraq wants to try them there.

POPSInvestigate Republican Corruption -- Get Fired.
I was busted last week for smuggling in 500 tons of illegal sagebrush over the Mexican border (it's illegal to bring weeds into the country). It's true I also had kidnapped the sweet 16-year old daughter of the Mayor of Nogales, Sonora. and was carrying my AK-47 and had a few boxes of Stinger missiles in the back of the Ford pickup But these were all 'dirty ops,' for the good guys, like Iran-Contra and our current mulitude of scams in the Middle East. So I was sure glad when the border agents who stopped me were later arrested, and the state attorney general gave me immunity to testify against them. (as we all happened). Now, though, I'm moving my business over to San Diego so I'm glad the Big Jefe, Comandante Bushie is taking care of things over in California before we move our base of operations. Normally you have to live in a third-world banana republic dictatorship to get service like this; but we're all part of a global economy now and War & Oil is the Main Line to the Holy L

POPSHalf of Vets Suffering Brain and Mind Injuries Go Untreated, but Pentagon Pretends Nothing's Going O It's been left up to Lt. Col. Steven Pflanz, the senior psychiatry policy analyst for the Air Force surgeon general, to report on the mental healthcare practices that have been developed for those on active duty. Kerry Knox, director of the VA's Center for Excellence on Suicide Prevention, was scheduled to share with him these introductory remarks, but is not in attendance. Apologies are made, but no one mentions how obviously difficult it would be for her to get into the self-congratulatory HOOAH! spirit of this conference when her boss just got busted big time for hiding VA suicide statistics, not just to the media but to Congress as well.

POPSMythBusters Central MythBusters are great. Either you've heard of them, or you should. They take commonly held beliefs,urban myths,and rumors, and put them to the test. Their aim is to devise a way of proving a myth either true, or false. They are imaginative enough to be interesting, entertaining, and have the tests done using the principles of Scientific Method. When they bust a myth, It stays busted.
