POPSBarack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize
This news, announce today, appears to have surprised almost everyone. But what is no surprise is that if you are on the side on warmongers, neocons, racist, those who ok torture, corporate exploitation of people and the land than you want to destroy this president. If you have hopes for peace, progress in alternative energies and new directions, national health care, unions and decent wages than this is the man who is on the frontlines fighting for these things. Closing down the suicidal plans for putting nuke missiles on the border with Poland was one clear change that we can see -- because it meant direct European and USA military conflict with Russia. This fact maybe lost in the madness of 24-hour news but it was 4sure. That dangerous and unnecessary Bush Era program is ended...and Obama gets attacked at home by the warmongers for "backing down to Russia." Like the Nobel Committee said....we see he is for real, we see he is trying, and we add our hopes to his and encour

POPSAndrewSullivan PotCaseDismissed - SpecialTreatment Sullivan, Rangel, (likely,most of Congress) Presidential criminal cronies after talking transparency. All bullcrap and the hypocrisy continues. And serving out true justice fades further & further. I didn't even mention the Treasury, Fed, G.S., and the rest of the banks.

POPSVolunteer-Humanitarian Convicted of Littering while "Trying to Save Lives" Has the U.S. really become this heartless? Border Patrol agents actually removed bottles of water that had been placed to help prevent these people from dying of thirst. When government agents and our judicial system begin using such a silly and extremely under-enforced law to block humanitarian aid, we have lost the right to call ourselves a humanitarian nation. This goes beyond any form of law enforcement role these agents are sworn to perform. These agents should be ashamed of themselves.

POPSYour Pocket Guide to Speaking Palin-guage (Vol.1) If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you're "reckless." A Republican who doesn't fully vet is a "maverick." If you say that for the "first time in my adult lifetime I'm really proud of my country" it makes you "unfit" to be First Lady. If you are a registered member of a fringe political group that advocates secession that makes you "First Dude." A DUI from twenty years ago is "old news." A speech given without proper citation from twenty years ago is "relevant information." And, finally, if you're a man and you decide to run for office despite your wife's recurrence of cancer you're a "questionable spouse." If you're a woman and you decide to run for office despite having five kids including a newborn... Well, we don't know what that is 'cause THAT'S NOT A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK. Just learned a new one: IOKIYAR: It's OK if you're a Republican!

POPS"La. Prison Agrees to Strip Monument of Bible Reference" "The prayer reads: 'The light of God surrounds you/The love of God enfolds you/The power of God protects you/And the presence of God watches over you;/Wherever you are, God is.'" "Fontenot said that side of the monument will be filled with artwork or a more secular inspirational message." "The ACLU last week filed suit against Cain and other officials after two inmates -- one Catholic, one Muslim -- said they were denied access to worship services and religious materials."

POPSKrugman Wins Nobel in Economics Look for the right to really hate this. It gives you an idea of just how devalued unregulated markets and supply-side economics has become. It's too bad it took a market-failure to finally kill it off.

POPSHappy Birthday Noah Webster (Oct 16) Webster's suggestion of using "tung" instead of "tongue" didn't stick, though. Today Webster's name is synonymous with dictionaries and the date of his birth is observed as Dictionary Day. In his honor, this week we'll present words about words. As Webster said, "the process of a living language is like the motion of a broad river which flows with a slow, silent, irresistible current."

POPSBush critic wins economics Nobel The criticisms of the Republican Party and Bush were not mentioned in the other clip. I had read a couple of his articles in the Times and thought they were informative (advantage of a computer, never would have seen the paper otherwise.

POPSRepublican Congressman: Russia was Right! But you won't hear this from McCain or Palin, nor Obama or other democrats, who all parrot the LIE of the neocon's official story. A bold republican Congressman is quoted, virtually paraphrasing the piece written by Pat Buchanan earlier (which I clipmarked, "Georgia Started It, Russia Finished It"). The tide against the propaganda is turning. Buchanan, Savage, now this Congressman and many more. Now this is from a Russian news agency, so to be objective I see no citation of the title that "US Intelligence" (not just the Congressman quoted) takes this view. But then the MSM does not report intelligence usually. They usually parrot the neocon propaganda. Note the unreported toll on civilians in just a few days in S. Ossetia, from Georgia's assault! More than 1500 civilians were killed in that time, according to South Ossetian authorities.

POPSShop or Drop? does it have physical correlates? some technicals citation from the article: "Researchers discovered that when the product first flashed on the screen it activated the nucleus accumbens, a section near the middle of the brain that has been implicated in the brain's reward center, effectively appraising the item. When the price appeared, the scientists noticed activity in the mesial prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain known for higher executive functions. Its activity seemed to vary according to the difference between what someone would pay for an item and its actual cost, as if in error adjustment. Finally, the response of the insula (a lateral section of the brain's cortex known to activate during responses to negative stimuli) depended on the purchasing decision--activity there increased when a participant nixed a purchase." what is interesting here is our human crave to understand more and more...
