POPSThe Holiday Gift This Country Needs "We also need to invest in our infrastructure, and not just the obvious physical things like our old bridges and trains but more importantly our human infrastructure. We must continue to push for "Medicare Part E - Everybody" - so we can rebuild the social safety net to encourage entrepreneurialism - and along those lines let's fix the bankruptcy bill, and strengthen social security. Finally, we need to think of work differently. Lincoln once said that labor is superior to capital because it precedes it. Nobody gets rich until somebody makes something. We once had an economy that valued laborers - the true producers of wealth - and the middle class. You know. almost everything on this gift list was, in their day, enthusiastically endorsed by Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower. And Barry Goldwater. And Richard Nixon. Somehow this country went insane in 1981 when Reagan took power and declared that "greed was good" and America was to be reinvented."

POPSThe EPA is the new IRS Krauthammer hits the nail on the head once more. Our struggling leaders of industry are going to bear the brunt - or crumble in the attempt - of "saving the world" (or lining pockets of government hacks and the new scientific elite). The richest citizens in the world will soon be huddling masses under blankets because the EPA will make the cost of heating our homes and offices a "luxury". What a step forward. Plus, NONE of this stolen money will help the Third World citizens - only their corrupt leaders and the U.N.

POPS Limo Libs Take A Hit Barney didn’t do so bad, though. Not so good at managing other people’s money, but a shrewd investor where his own bottom line is concerned. Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of Congress’ financial services committee, which oversaw the banking crisis, suffered relatively minimal losses as his net worth went from an estimated $1.3 million to $972,000, the study found. “The fact is it depends on where people had their money. In my case, I have been most heavily invested in assets that didn’t suffer major losses,” Frank said. “Members of Congress are full participants in the economy - for the good and the bad.” Here’s the net worth of the Massachusetts delegation. Boston Herald . http://bit.ly/70Lwaz Question: How do career public servants, who have presided over decades of mounting deficits and repeated financial debacles, rack up this kind of wealth? I know, there’s golddigging here, legacy there, stints in white-shoe law offices .......

POPSSeeing No Evil On Climate-Gate last decade’s decline in global temperatures. Even more: They conveniently lost the original data on which their house-of-cards computer modeling built the narrative of long-term global warming. On that dubious narrative was built the political momentum for history’s greatest transfer of wealth from developed to undeveloped nations. Even more: They squared and cubed their own corruption, these beneficiaries of tax-supported research money, by closing off legitimate and necessary skepticism, even fantasizing about committing violence against leading skeptics. Their purposes were political: to shape data to suit the agenda of international regulators, many of whom will meet next week in Copenhagen to propose draconian emission controls. That, by any old-school journalist’s reckoning, would constitute a scandal of global proportions, and you’d expect the terriers of the press to bare their teeth.

POPSbikehacks: Illuminate your bike — for free! More: How I came to acquire this stash of reflective material (self-adhesive 3M-type stuff) was by contacting a shop that does signs (like highway exit signs, marking guardrails, etc.) and asked if they had any scraps they’d otherwise be tossing out. They said to come by and I got several 8×10 sized pieces for FREE! I started cutting the pieces to fit various parts of the bike – starting with items like fenders, and eventually working to the frame, fork, rear rack, and wheels. Since then I’ve been experimenting with making wheel (spoke) reflectors using the bottoms of microwave pasta dishes as backing material. There’s one pic of a drop-bar old 10-speed I installed one of these experimental wheel reflectors on – it’s on the rear wheel, zip-tied to the spokes.

POPS Economic Stimulation I’m a little late to today’s economic-stimulus exasperation party. Sorry. I was busy working at my unstimulated private-sector job, which uses pulp, ink, trucks, pens, notebooks and a lot of eletronics plus electricity and employs hundreds of taxpayers directly and indirectly to tell people how the hacks are trying to shaft them in Boston. It was great. I enjoyed it. Even though, far from looking for or getting any support, we’ve had to fight the government over simple things like the freedom to enter business relationships with other news organizations that might have made us more financially viable. Thank you, Ted Kennedy, liberal lion.

POPSGoogle Tips & Tricks, (utilizing search engine) So much information is on the web, its mind boggling. Thankfully we have search engines to sift through them and catagorize them for us. Unfortunatly, there is still so much info that even with these search engines, its often a painstakingly slow process (something comparable to death for a hacker) to find exactly what you’re looking for.
