POPS"State Secret: Thousands Secretly Sterilized"
Sterilized Without Her Knowledge Riddick was raped and became pregnant at the age of 13. Social workers labeled her promiscuous and too feeble-minded to ever be a responsible parent. So, after giving birth in 1968, Riddick was sterilized without being told. She learned the truth years later, when she married and tried to have more children. "They took so much away from me," Riddick said. "They took away my spirit and my soul." North Carolina sterilized close to 8,000 women in hospitals across the state. Even though the practice ended more than 30 years ago, some say the time has come to make amends. North Carolina was one of the first states out of 33 that once practiced sterilization to offer an apology. State Rep. Larry Womble is crafting a bill to provide financial reparations. Some wonder where the state will get the money. "They say, 'Well, we can't afford it,' " said Womble, a Democrat. "Well, we cannot not afford it." Riddick went on to earn a college degree

POPS Let Them Eat Dirt from the report. But the mainstream media did not report these conflicts and instead piled on the "global warming" and "carbon offset" bandwagons. The carbon offset market quickly exploded. In fact, $92 billion worth of offsets were estimated to change hands in 2008. But wanton profiteering appears to be the sole rationale for "carbon trading". Put simply, a wide range of respected scientists, environmentalists, researchers, agriculturalists, and activists believe that carbon offsets are a "scam", "fantasy", "fiction", "nonsense", "fraudulent" and worse. And they've been saying so since 2000, though to read the newspaper you wouldn't know it. The World Rainforest Movement, for example, investigated these bizarre financial ties and concluded that the IPCC report must "...be shelved due to their clear conflict of interest and a new report instigated which will be free of the taint of intellectual corruption."

POPS"If you're too lazy to do this, I hate you" My god, Ramit just makes me laugh. Pretty good for a financial blogger--maybe that's why I can read him w/o cringing. He's there to kick a** and chew bubble gum...and he's all out of bubble gum.

There Are Liberals Under My Bed!" which will help you fight the "deluge of left-wing propaganda" in "the nation's libraries and classrooms," which, if you didn't know, advocate gay marriage and marijuana use. Cover illustration appears to feature cartoons of Hilary Clinton and Ted Kennedy. Yes, it really is marketed for four-year-olds.

POPSThe commuting paradox I figured out a long time ago that I hate (hate hate HATE) commuting. A 40% raise would not be nearly enough to compensate me for adding an hour to my commute. (As it is, we live two miles from my work. I can take the bus, ride a bike, or walk. It's great.)

POPSWhy 'Second Life' is crap!
Very interesting negative review... "Second Life’ is praised as one of the ‘new chances to life your live’ like you want it to, but this seems unreal for the following reasons: 1. I don’t like a world with Smurfs 2. I don’t want to live in a world with goddamn zebras talking to me 3. Second Life is already commercialized, at two different spots a person was offering ‘free ipods’ if you’d click on his shinny backpack. 4. Second Life features a world which is empty, or at least not really populated. 5. Second Life features cheap adult material, sleazy hookers and strippers. If one wants porn, simply fire up google and look for it. 6. Second Life makes it rather impossible to earn money big style, exceptions are rare. Why would you earn more in an E-True cybergame then at McDonalds around the corner? 7. Why can these people fly? 8. Weapons welcome in Second Life, so at least, was my impression. They can either be bought in arms shops or created using the ‘no limitations create

POPSObama to Limit Pay for Wall Street, NFL, NBA, MLB The proposal would exempt most Hollywood stars and popular recording artists, he said, “since much of their money is already returned to the people in the form of contributions to the Democrat party and its candidates.”
