Sadly, Mickey D has decided to permit a homophobic hate group dictate their corporate policies. Giving into these boycotts does nothing but encourage groups, such as this one, to continue to strong-arm major businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians. I am hoping my GLBT friends will refuse to do any business with McDonalds.

POPSSarah Palin Republican vice-presidential candidate So, Sarah is found to violate the ethics law. Her lawyer says: "There has to be some personal gain." In the next breath, he says: "...failed to identify any financial gain." Isn't vengence 'personal gain'? Don't try to hoodwink us Sarah Palin. Birds of a feather ... you and McCain with his ANGER sysdrome.

POPSBoing Boing: How I learned to love my persimmon tree Lots of good discussion in the comments - how to choose a persimmon, how to ripen them, things to do with them, why you do not want to eat underripe persimmons, and much more. Persimmons are a family favorite, and I guess we must just have dumb luck with ripening them - the problems people describe here with being unable to ripen them are all new to me. (For the record, the family persimmon-ripening method: Place persimmon stem-side down on the kitchen counter, not in direct sun. Leave it there. Pick up once or twice a day to check whether it's getting soft yet. *shrug* It's always worked for us - we've never needed any of the tricks people mention in this post's comments.)

POPSParental Alienation Syndrome, the Other Side of the Story The so-called Parental Alienation Syndrome, touted by many in the Rhode Island Family Court, has been discredited by the American Psychological Association and, recently, by both the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and the Children’s Legal Rights Journal.

POPSHow to recession-proof your family EXACTLY! 'Why does Suze Orman say people first, then money, then things?'" she says. "It means if we cared about people more than we cared about money, we would not be having what happened today, because the people who run the corporations, if they had cared about all of you, they wouldn't have created loans that you couldn't afford."

POPSIf you suddenly fall ill, do your loved ones know your wishes? The Five Wishes document helps you express how you want to be treated if you are seriously ill and unable to speak for yourself. It is unique among all other living will and health agent forms because it looks to all of a person's needs: medical, personal, emotional and spiritual. Five Wishes also encourages discussing your wishes with your family and physician. Five Wishes lets your family and doctors know: 1. Which person you want to make health care decisions for you when you can't make them. 2. The kind of medical treatment you want or don't want. 3. How comfortable you want to be. 4. How you want people to treat you. 5. What you want your loved ones to know. … The document speaks to people in their own language, not in "doctor speak" or "lawyer talk." It can be used in the living room instead of the emergency room. And it helps families talk with their physician about a difficult subject.

POPSNZ youth to be tried as an adult in Hawaii Bartley's lawyer, Jeffrey Hawk, hinted at a possible defense. "Every child is a product of his environment and his family," Hawk said.

POPSBranded: Who You Callin' A Maverick The real Mavericks have an interesting family history. Read the article to learn more. Sam Maverick’s grandson, Fontaine Maury Maverick, was a two-term congressman and a mayor of San Antonio who lost his mayoral re-election bid when conservatives labeled him a Communist. He served in the Roosevelt administration on the Smaller War Plants Corporation and is best known for another coinage. He came up with the term “gobbledygook” in frustration at the convoluted language of bureaucrats Fontaine Maury Maverick lost his bid for re-election in 1938. Notice how the Liepublicans called him a "communist." Notice how their dirty lying tricks haven't changed: Obama - terrorist, socialist, Marxist, black nationalist, and on and on ad naseum.

POPSMonster Rally Greets Palin After Debate! Joe Biden says Obama is being misrepresented with his comments on Ahmadinejad. Lie. Biden says Ahmadinejad is not the leader of Iran. He's right.

Dr. Kissinger's video: "No, I do not agree with Barack Obama's position" http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/09/henry-kissinger-responds-i-do-not-agree.html
