POPSNotes on a Sick Planet The authors may reach a bit when they try to sound less square, likening the buying of compact fluorescent light bulbs to “an upgrade on your iTunes software.” But they make the science relevant and enjoyable with abundant visuals and conclude with some meaty ways for kids to make a difference. The old standbys are all there (switch light bulbs, recycle, use canvas bags at the grocery store). But I smiled on noticing something new: the authors suggest some “sustainable careers” kids can consider, like meteorologist and “glacial geologist.”

POPSHitler was even sicker than you thought After the war, US intelligence officers discovered that Morell was pumping Hitler with 28 different drugs, including eye-drops that contained 10 percent cocaine (up to 10 treatments a day), a concoction made from human placenta and "potency pills" made from ground bull's testicles. But despite the barrage of medicines, Morell's diaries (which were recovered from Germany and are kept in the National Archives in Washington, DC) make clear that the bouts of "agonizing flatulence" remained a regular occurrence.

POPSUnited Nations Public Policy!!! Dum dee dum dummmmmmm!!!!
Blamed for about one-fifth of the world’s greenhouse gases, meat production produces the ever-popular ;) methane gas from the flatulence of cattle–something these vegetarians like to say is much worse for the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Aren’t you merely speculating at best putting forth such bold statements about meat and global warming without any real evidence that makes your point? How can a group like the United Nations stand behind such an extreme position when the foundation for it is so incredibly suspect? Dr. Pachauri spoke at an event held by an animal rights group called Compassion in World Farming which has called on the people of Great Britain to cut their meat consumption in half to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by even more than if they cut their driving in half. In fact, they are pushing for governments around the world to mandate a reduction of meat consumption by upwards of 60 percent by the year 2020. Well, yippee freakin’ skippy!

POPSLivestock Causes Warmer Planet? If all the the global warming zealots become vegans they can solve this problem. I wonder if they will. They'd rather call people like me corporate fascists. This is really great.

POPSThe cow you don't eat may save your life My kids have already become strict vegetarians while I'm beginning to become one. At least I don't eat red meat or pork, My decision was based on the economics (use of land vs nutrition) and on distribution of food world wide. By cutting out beef, pork, sheep, and goats as food sources we can live longer and so can the planet. Mice studies have shown that more protein in the diet causes the mice to grow faster, but the mice also age sooner and die earlier.

POPSNow they say global warming affects US security Now the loony left is trying to appeal to conservatives with a security theme. Never mind that flood have been wiping out people since Noah built his ark. The ancient world is full of examples of thriving cities having been abandoned due to climate change - and this long before any industrialization or greenhouse gasses. Maybe the dinosaurs went extinct due to their all pervasive flatulence? I think this global warming hype is more of the same - liberal oral flatulence.

POPSObermann Indicts Bush as Criminal Conspirator Clip on the top link and you can see the entire Countdown episode on video. McCain is witness from personal experience that torture produces confessions, but not often the truth. The only convictions of any "terrorists" since 9/11 (the alleged Kahli Sheik Mohammed) was gained through "redacted" (edited) testimony after long periods of torture--not by any other evidence. (And for the record, the man in Guantanamo was not the mastermind of 9/11 and the government had no other evidence).
