POPSWhat's So Great About Grits? Grits are inexpensive, simple, tasty, and a thoroughly digestible food. Grits should be made popular around the world! Given enough of it, the inhabitants of the Earth would have nothing to fight about. A man full of Grits...is a man full of Peace". Now who among us can argue with that kind of logic? I love that quote! If everything were that simple...

POPSUS Senator Dumps His Pregnant Dog at Pound
I am an advocate for the State of South Carolina and for Animal Rights, especially "getting your Pet Spayed and Neutered in SC". This is my Animal Care Blog: http://animalcare-sc.blogspot.com/ South Carolina is a wonderful, beautiful and unique place to live. When I hear such discusting displays of negligence and uncaring it hurts my heart to detail it, when it is a blight on my Community and yet another shame for my State. However, this story is already "out there" and it needs to be addressed. One of our SC Senators is grossly incapable of compassion, running his own household, spaying and neutering his pets, and really should not be in charge of other people's lives. It's a shame. But do you really want men without compassion running your State and leading your Nation? So, it's about a dumb dog? NO. It's about the "heart condition" and "neglect of responsibility" of one of our so called Leaders. Lead Men "by example," if not, go sell shoes or "DO" something else!

POPSBeware of Toxic Friendships When you see one who is unworthy... examine your own character. ~Confucius This is profound. Does it mean that when you identify someone who is "unworthy" of your Friendship, you "know" who he is because of some same flaw or quality you recognize within yourself? Either way, you have to be good to yourself first, then share that goodness with others. You first, best and nearest "friends" are the people in your own home. Beware of toxic friendships. Know the warning signs of "users" and "abusers".

POPSPoor People Are Fat and A Nation of Whiners Progressive thinking from dinosaurs? Gramm's views have not changed since the 1970's. Where are the stats? What are the solutions? Last time I looked, name calling never actually solved anything. Labling groups of impoverished people and witty adjectives for their plight might make a magazine cover, but in reality it does not make a bad situation any better. The "Al Gore Syndrome" at work agian. Talk, Talk, Talk...soluntions implemented = NONE. Perhaps he'll win the Nobel Peace Prize for his insults and remarkable discovery that "Poor People Are Fat". Pehaps if they stopped whining about us being a "Nation of Whiners" and actually started "doing" the right thing for the "Poor, Fat People" - we could get along towards a solution for the US, and Worldwide, crisis. Roll up your sleeves, Boys, and actually DO something already, will ya!!!

POPSForeclosure Fever Stats for Charleston SC Lowcountry The tide has turned in the Charleston SC Lowcountry, now experiencing a significant amount of home foreclosures, even on the Islands and very affluent areas of Charleston. Unfortunately, someone else's loss will be another's easy gain. Charleston is still on the rise as a relocation and retirement area in the South (US) and opportunities abound as more and more businesses are relocating here for good. The moral of the story- no matter where you live, do NOT wait until you are 3-6 months behind and fighting foreclosure before you go to a foreclosure specialist or foreclosure "counselor" in your area. The #1 problem their overworked offices are having right now is people coming in for "free help" but it's almost too late to recover. Get help. It's free. Free foreclosure counselors are "out there" near where you live. DO NOT BE TOO EMBARRASSED TO SEEK HELP. This is your Lifestyle and your Family Home we're talking about. Seek help before it's too late.

POPSFallen on Deaf Ears - Another Impeachment Petition I came across this today while doing some research. I did a quick check to see if my name was on it. Nope, this is yet another petition, or written request for help, that has fallen upon deaf ears. What a shame. I wonder, all sum total, how many Americans were ignored in our numerous petitions and requests for impeachment? What's the grand total of signatures? Is there a way to find out...as, these documents were sent to Congress. Shouldn't we be able to know how many requests went unanswered? This particular petition was signed by 4, 491 American Citizens. Do they mean nothing?

POPSBoody Shirt an Icon of our Times It has been suggested that Batebi should meet with President Bush. Perhaps, that would give enough PR to the Admin to keep justiying an immoral war..."see, they are being persecuted over there, and they come to us for Freedom". It has also been posted in several reports that Batebi was sentenced to death for his "civil unrest". This report says 10 years. Either way, I personally am glad he got out and is free. All men have the right to be free and not to suffer. We just save save them all right now. It would be so great if everyone would just refuse to fight. All sides. Refuse to fight. But then that would leave the terrorists who will not refuse to fight...for their religion. Seems like the way to real peace, freedom and abolition of suffering is not to stop wars, but to stop religion.

POPSLove and a Puppy How is it that there is so much wealth in this world and yet, so many people are suffering? We are inundated in the US with commercials that tell us "for only $.33 a day, you can feed a child. After taxes, office expenses, executive expenses, advertising, photo shoots, postage and of course, "handling"...how much of that actually goes to help ANYBODY? We cannot help the whole World. But we can do whatever is in our power to help others in our own Community. That's a start. For the child in the picture, right now "Love is...a puppy." Very soon, he, and others like him, might well discover that "Love is...a Bowl of Rice."

POPSIs That Judge Crazy? Viacom vs Google Judgement This is great. I love the comment htread on this one. Are they just palin nuts or just stupid? "12TB on paper I worked out to be about 5 billion pages. Now I don't know how long that will take to print, but if they wanted to print it all in, say, a month, they would need to print nearly 125,000 pages a minute, constantly until then. Personally, I vote that it is spread over loads of floppy disks, all labelled and then mixed into a large pile... 'Please insert disk #2363234' " HeHee!
