POPSWill Tone of MSNBC Change w/Comcast Merger? I have a pretty basic Comcast package and ever since I heard people complaining that they removed the MEssNBC, I found it up on stn.#128, away from the more "regular" channels, so I'd advise one to scan their sets, you may still have it. (I can't believe I'm helping anyone find the thing;-) Anyway, I think it would be too obvious for Comcast to make it any more scarce. Maybe it's just as well to keep those nutjobs (Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow,etc.) all in one place where they think they've really got something goin' on. Otherwise who knows what kind of hell they'd raise with their whining.

POPSWill the economic crisis lead to major societal changes? "Why are former business executives and attorneys volunteering more time to help their communities? Why do the children of immigrants assume values very different from those of their parents? Why has the size of Japanese families declined substantially? A new theory of social change and development by UCLA distinguished professor of psychology Patricia Greenfield answers these and other questions and offers insights into the future".

POPSBragging on the Texas Economy Thank you Gov. Perry for staying out of the way. For the third straight year, the nation’s leading executives rank Texas as the best state in which to do business, applauding the state for controlling taxes and spending as well as for its positive regulatory burden, quality of life and infrastructure. (Chief Executive Magazine, January 2008) This ranking is significant because it is not based solely on arbitrary economic indicators. Instead, it reflects the sentiment not of CEOs and decision makers throughout the nation. Voicing the positive sentiment of many respondents, Charles Hannabarger, President and CEO of PSI Associates, said, "Texas has a strong economy with a diversified economic base. The cost of living is low and the quality of life is very good. The attitude and capabilities of the workforce are outstanding!”

POPSWhat Are They Really Afraid Of? Oppressive new rules are being imposed on small-scale producers in the name of food security. The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 contains language would make home food preservation illegal and requires farmers who sell direct to consumers via farmers markets, market gardens, or other community supported agriculture (CSA) endeavors to get permission from a Government inspector The bill also requires consumers who buy from local producers to fill out a form with their name, social security number, and list how they plan to store the produce and when and how they will consume it. If the Government is so set on protecting what they admit is a vulnerable food supply, why are they allowing unrestricted, undocumented flow of illegals across our southern border knowing they will find employment in the agriculture industry? And, why is the Government focused on small family farms? Why would family farmers be of any concern to the Government?

POPS Cheap Political Theater by Thomas Sowell . . . . including commonsense standards for making home loans. Politicians and bureaucrats micro-managing the mortgage sector of the economy is precisely how today's economic disaster began. Why anyone would think that their micro-managing the automobile industry, or executive pay across a wide sweep of other industries, is likely to make things better in the economy is a mystery. The real point is to pander to envy and resentment against people who make a lot of money. Envy is always referred to by its political alias, "social justice." But to put the lives of the wives and children of executives at risk for the sake of Beltway grandstanding shows how low our political saviors have sunk. We are not yet a banana republic, though that is the direction in which some of our politicians are taking us-- This political theater is in one sense cheap beyond words. In another sense, it is costly beyond words.

POPSBarack Obama, Fabian Socialist He's telling the truth when he says that he doesn't agree with Bill Ayers' violent bombing tactics, but it's a tactical disagreement. Why use dynamite when mass media and community organizing work so much better? Who needs Molotov when you've got Saul Alinski? So here is the playbook: The left will identify, freeze, personalize and polarize an industry, probably health care. It will attempt to nationalize one-fifth of the U.S. economy through legislative action. They will focus, as Lenin did, on the "commanding heights" of the economy, not the little guy. As Obama said, "the smallest" businesses will be exempt from fines for not "doing the right thing" in offering employer-based health care coverage. Health will not be nationalized in one fell swoop. Instead, a parallel system will be created, funded by surcharges on business payroll, which will be superior to many private plans.

POPSWhatWouldMcCain's2005 Mortg.Bill Have Done? McCain managed to predict the entire collapse that has forced the government to eat Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, along with Bear Stearns and AIG. He hammers the falsification of financial records to benefit executives, including Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, both of whom have worked as advisers to Barack Obama this year. McCain also noted the power of their lobbying efforts to forestall oversight over their business practices. He finishes with the warning that proved all too prescient over the past few days and weeks.

POPSSarah Palin, a Friend of Mine
Her rapid rise in politics is a direct result of her unwavering moral compass. Sarah makes her decisions based on one criterion: what’s the right thing to do? In 2003, Gov. Frank Murkowski offered her an appointment to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. (I advised her not to take the position. She ignored my advice, and took the job anyway.) Shortly after taking her seat on the commission, she noticed that one of her fellow commissioners, Randy Reudrich, was doing political business on state time. Reudrich was (and still is) chairman of the state Republican party. Randy controls the flow of money to Republican candidates. Once a year all political appointees in Alaska are required to sign a conflict of interest statement. Part of the statement requires commissioners to report any violation by their colleagues. Sarah felt she had no choice but to tell the truth about Reudrich’s abuses, even though she would be turning in a fellow Republican. In the days following her all

POPSPowerMall Debate So, my dear friend, forgive me for not heeding your word of warning. Because you see, my family comes first, what kind of person would I be, if I gave my "time" to strangers, when "my family" are the one's needing my "time". I am not selfish and do not want anyone to suffer, I do what I can, for whom I can, whenever the need arises. I will continue to show my concern, and be of help. I will also continue to find the right people who believe that "together, "we can" make a difference in the world we live in". Even if our world only reaches as far as our own back yard...it makes no difference to "Him"..., just as long as we do something.....

POPSMcGovern Admits to Heresy
Cont... It can be galling to hear companies argue that they have to cut wages and benefits for hourly workers – even as they reward top executives with millions of dollars in stock options. The chief executive of Wal-Mart earns $27 million a year, while the company’s average worker takes home only about $10 an hour. But let’s assume that the chief executive got 27 cents instead of $27 million, and that Wal-Mart distributed the savings to its hourly workers. They would each receive a bonus of less than $20. It’s not executive pay that has created this new world.The current frenzy over Wal-Mart is instructive.Its size is unprecedented.Yet for all its billions in profit, it still amounts to less than four cents on the dollar.Raise the cost of employing people, and the company will eliminate jobs.Its business model only works on low prices, which require low labor costs. ...Consumers continue to enjoy these low prices and thousands of applicants continue to apply for those jobs.

POPSFederal Regulators Assumed Control Of IndyMac Bancorp. Inc. In 2007, IndyMac was the nation's seventh-largest loan originator. But it ran into trouble that same year after getting caught up in the mortgage crisis. On Monday, the bank announced it was laying off about half of its 7,200 employees and would no longer make traditional home loans. IndyMac for years specialized in lending to people with credit not quite good enough to be considered prime, which is categorized as alt-A. In 2006, the company made $343 million in profits. But, starting in 2007, many of the bank's borrowers could not make payments. IndyMac lost $614.8 million in 2007, according to the bank's earnings statement, and was not able to find buyers for its loans, bank officials reported.

POPSWho's The Daddy? Ever thought your child looks a little too much like the mailman? Confirming your child's paternity is now as easy as taking a trip to your local Rite Aid - and, according to this Philly Inquirer article, they've been flying off the shelves. To use the kit customers have to scrape cells from the cheek of the child, mother and father in question and send it to a lab for analysis, which takes about a week. I was surprised to find out last year just how many different kinds of home-use health tests are available today. You can check everything from the alcohol content in your breast milk to whether you might have colon cancer. Check out the piece I wrote on the topic last year: http://www.forbes.com/health/2007/05/11/health-home-test-forbeslife-cx_avd_0514health.html
