POPSSix Teen Girls Arrested For Hatchet Attack On Woman The good news is the four people that intervened. Lately, I've noticed more people helping others. It wasn't the norm for a while, but now it seems others don't mind sticking their neck out to help someone in distress. We need more of those people around, don'tcha think?

POPSLehman Bros Failure Looms, Stock in Free Fall Bear Stearns was first, then Freddie and Fannie last week, now Lehman is at the plate, and Washington Mutual on deck. The latter two are likely to strike out financially like the previous, all in the ninth inning of Bush's term and an inept Congress. (Democrats scramble to freeze foreclosures in an election season, which only delays the inevitable for people who have defaulted, and further stresses lenders who cannot liquidate bad debt.) As the article says, if they do, the Fed will ride in, absorb the debt and print the money for it (causing a weaker dollar, and thus inflation), as the major banking institutions of America become virtually Nationalized, and the Government will then play the Collection agency for defaulted loans. The mirage of America's financial prosperity and stability is falling, and as the Fed chairman warned a week ago, the fallout has not even begun.

POPSFBI Admits Spying on Innocent Americans Using "national intelligence letters" from the so-called USA PATRIOT ACT. You are no longer a free citizen protected by the Constitution, but a criminal or terrorist suspect. Note how "credit reports...phone records...internet traffic" are among things admitted to. Your credit report has your entire financial and life history on it. This is why REAL ID must be resisted entirely, as well as the extra-constitutional Gestapo-patterned Office of Homeland Security. The founders always warned that "necessity" is the tyrant's plea, the usual justification for breaking constitutional restraints on government.

POPSThe Success of Savage Capitalism is the Failure of our Society
Consider these three articles puzzling over the US Economy. The dollar is in free-fall but the GDP is growing. The credit bubble is bursting, but production is up. American companies are making money hand over fist but the wealth gap is staggering. So the question is: has the Regan/Bush agenda of Savage Anything-Goes Global Capitalism worked? Is America a better nation because of it? The answer is no. We are not developing our economy, we are just generating wealth for the top 1%. We aren't improving our country so much as optimizing it for de facto feudalism. Some one needs to give a real good answer as to why this surreal economic nightmare is a success story, or we need to finally admit that Savage Capitalism is motivated by nothing more than greed and wistful thinking. It's time to get real about our country and our economy. Unless we can save the middle class, then we will be nothing but a crude fiefdom of modern Robber Barons.

POPSReduce the price of your new car The introduction of new “57” car number plates in September will see many of us head to the nearest car dealership. Indeed around a fifth of new car purchases are made in this month alone.
