POPSPolice Atrocities Define The Bush Police State
"If you've ever publicly opposed Bush's war of naked aggression in Iraq, you can bet you're in NSA's database, called TALON. War protesters, naturally, were the first to wind up in Big Bro's TALON, or database. This practice most certainly goes far beyond Nixon's 'enemies list'. Bush's database, methods, scope and ruthlessness plops us in Orwellian territory." Well, it's too late now. I'm probably already screwed and plopped and TALON'ed and monitored... END THE OCCUPATIONS! ------------------------- talon: \ˈta-lən\ Middle English taloun heel, hind claw of a bird of prey , from Anglo-French talun, from Vulgar Latin *talon-, *talo, from Latin talus ankle, anklebone 1 a: the claw of an animal and especially of a bird of prey b: a finger or hand of a human being 2: a part or object shaped like or suggestive of a heel or claw: b: the shoulder of the bolt of a lock on which the key acts to shoot the bolt 3 a: cards laid aside in a pile in solitaire

POPSPre-RNC raids: so who hates freedom now? Doesn't look like any evidence has been uncovered thus far of intent to commit anything beyond non-violent protests. Kind of an unnerving story if you ask me, but, hey, it's a post-9/11 world, and the cops are just trying to keep us all safe, right? (It's funny, when I was a kid growing up in the eighties, there used to be after-school specials about how this kind of thing happened in apartheid South Africa.)

POPSIf you are arrested, say NOTHING If you watch the show "Cops" you realize the vast majority of the perps are too stupid to follow this advice, and ultimately make their situation worse than it already is. Once you are read your Miranda Rights, SHUT THE HELL UP. Really, do yourself a favor and read this section of the website.

POPSGuys, What wouldn't you HUMP? Bots A 33-year-old known only as Zoltan made news in Georgia by marrying the robot he built. Zoltan and his womandroid have a happy relationship, not only because she doesn't have voice capability, but also because she surprisingly has no presidential aspirations. Beer Bottles Straight from the fertile 'tard farm of Yahoo! Answers comes this provocative inquiry: "How do I get my penis out of a beer bottle?" Don't bother replying, folks—moments later, the questioner explained that he freed himself by cracking a hole in the base of the bottle and applying some ice before lubing it all up. Buddy, that's not what they mean by "Tap the Rockies." So, which is the more creative sex? Maybe the females can come up with better.

POPS"Nurse-in" at Pennsylvania mall After a nursing mother was kicked out of a Pennsylvania mall, several hundred people return to stage a "nurse-in". 36 states have laws protecting mothers' right to breastfeed in public, but not PA -- yet.

POPSThis Sober Life I don't miss asking, "Did I say that?" I don't miss crying on train tracks, don't miss not knowing where to start, don't miss questioning, "Am I falling apart?" I don't miss counting prescription pills, don't miss wondering, "Would this jump kill?" I don't miss being angry and not knowing why, don't miss yelling up to God, "Just let me die!" I don't miss not sleeping night after night, don't miss not having an appetite. I don't miss puking and I sure don't miss quitting, I figure by now you get the point that I'm setting.

POPSTasercops Gone Wild I wonder if anyone is keeping count of these taserings of already incapacitated people. At least the cops receive severe punishment: time off with pay.

POPSExamining Obama's New Ad, Featuring... Bill Ayers? Four points: 1. It's good to see the Obama campaign conceding that Ayers is "a radical" who committed crimes, not just "a professor who lives in Barack's neighborhood." 2. Why is McCain talking about the sixties? He isn't. He's talking about Obama's relationship with Ayers over the past two decades or so, and Obama's comfort working closely with a man who built bombs to kill American soldiers and cops. 3. The crimes were committed when Obama was eight. Well, Eric Rudolph committed his crimes quite a few years back. Does he get cut some slack? 4. I am sure the McCain campaign thanks their rival for running an ad in Ohio that depicts Ayers, calls him a radical, mentions his crimes. This will make it a much bigger story.
