POPSExecutive Order 12425 What The Hell Is This? What Did Obama Just Do? WTF??? not with half measures designed to win your approval but with full on outright lawlessness that depends on your not believing it is happening. Based on the reaction of Republicans in Congress the left has their opponents pegged. I would like to say that the left has their enemies pegged but the mainstream Republicans are no one’s enemies. They want to be loved. Obama is at war and the Republicans want to be loved. Be scared.

POPSMcCain Going Down
John McCain was the Republican candidate for President in the last election, running against Barrack Obama. He's up for relection in 2010. Now it looks like he's going to lose his Senate seat, facing a primary challenge in his own party. Point 1. The horses are lining up at the starting gate for the 2010 elections. (one year ahead of voting day, par for the course) McCain is one of my U.S. Senators and I'd love to dance on his political grave. I'm joyful planning on it.... I've remained registered Democrat so I can vote in the Demo primaries. Up to now there hasn't been a good candidate because McCain was previously invincible. Now the cracks are showing -- A big problem is that Democrats always lose this seat because they mouth the national policy on immigration while the vast majority of us in this state --- a state on the border with Mexico -- have a whole different real-world perspective on an out-of-control border. We want the border controlled, like all nations do

POPSCIA Secret 'Torture' Prison Found at Fancy Horseback Riding Academy "The new members of NATO were so grateful for the U.S. role in getting them into that organization that they would do anything the U.S. asked for during that period," said former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, now an ABC News consultant. "They were eager to please and eager to be cooperative on security and on intelligence matters."

POPSDegree in Shit Shoveling Introduced "We're really exited about the Horse Shit department," said Alex Fowler, Head of Excrement at Derby. "We can now compete with our major rivals, who also offer shit degrees." Michael Smith, who attends Derbyshire college "Joseph Wright", has already sent his application to Derby with UCAS, an online service for higher education enrolment. "It looks quite easy," said Smith, "and, after all, a degree's a degree, right?" Ireland already has lots of horseshit degrees

POPSFriesian Horses Friesians are one (#1, in my opinion) of the most magical and beautiful breeds of horse. If I had enough money, time energy, etc..., I would have 50 of them with plenty of beaches and forests and pastures and hills for them to run and play all day. And, I'd spend all of my time painting pictures and taking photos and movies of them to share with you!

POPSHow Absurd Is That? "Dr. Proulx and Dr. Heine described having 20 college students read an absurd short story based on “The Country Doctor,” by Franz Kafka. The doctor of the title has to make a house call on a boy with a terrible toothache. He makes the journey and finds that the boy has no teeth at all. The horses who have pulled his carriage begin to act up; the boy’s family becomes annoyed; then the doctor discovers the boy has teeth after all. And so on. The story is urgent, vivid and nonsensical. After the story, the students studied a series of 45 strings of 6 to 9 letters, like “X, M, X, R, T, V.” They later took a test on the letter strings, choosing those they thought they had seen before from a list of 60 such strings. In fact the letters were related, in a very subtle way, with some more likely to appear before or after others. he new research supports what many experimental artists have always insisted: at least some of the time, disorientation begets creative thinking."

POPSWhat Does The Red Dot On The Forehead Mean ? Worship of intellect is trusting your own intellect AND other's intellect, especially in the fields you do not have enough knowledge. Intellectual honesty and its worship have been corner stones of Hindu thought. 'Fully THINK (ponder) on what I said and then do as YOU deem fit'. Indian scriptures ask 'Drushtipootam nyasetpaadam, vastra pootam pibet jalam' - Look (think) before you leap (embark on any activity) and 'filter the water with a cloth before you drink'. Kathopanashad calls intellect as the charioteer. Body is a chariot, Indriyas (sense/connotative organs) are horses, mind is the reins to be used to control them, Atman (Self) is the rider within, and Vishay (objects of senses) are the tracks on which horses run. It asks us to overcome the ego, be selfless, yet asks to do all actions/ work/ worship with intellect.

POPS"America’s Got Talent" Not Featuring American Stars brand new theatrical production “Banana Shpeel.” Ummm…. The name of the show is AMERICA’S Got Talent. Not WORLD or Britain’s Got Talent. Where’s the AMERICAN talent? This is pretty lame. But I do love Cirque and I kind of like Leona Lewis, don’t know anything else about these other people.

POPSHere's One You've Probably Never Heard . . . As Stubborn As An Army Camel
Though they required tremendous amounts of water when they drank, they could go days without drinking, hence they could cross the vast distances between water supplies in the desert without dying of thirst. As beasts of burden, they could carry far more than the 300 lbs that was considered a 'mule load.' They were simply ideal for the purpose-making regular routes across the desert Southwest an actuality rather than a remote possibility. Jefferson Davis realized this in 1855 and sent a delegation from the US Army to the Middle East to observe and report on the feasibility of using camels in the American deserts. The officers reported seeing camels being used in every environment from the Sahara to the Alps, carrying loads that would crush even the biggest mules, and making trips between waterholes in deserts that would leave horses and mules dead of thirst. Camels were ideally suited, they reported, for the American Southwest. . .
