POPSThe real Americans It seems her #1 job is to continue the illusion that the ultimate elitist party, the party of CEO and wall street fat cats is really the party of average America disparagingly cast as Joe and Jane six pack, too ignorant and uneducated to notice the phoniness. Ignore the 100000000 bank account, 10 homes and 13 cars, McCain represents the working American. What a crock of sh**!!

POPSI Grow Potatoes Too Baby "Could it be that you wanted to be the most popular girl in class and it didn't happen?" one person wrote. In the living room, Kilkenny signed off her Hotmail account as her son, Lief, 17, waited for the family to drive to church. People ask Kilkenny, if she had it to do all over again, would she write the e-mail? She said she would. "I continue to believe that it's important for people to participate as informed voters," she said, "and there is a moral obligation to share what we know about the people that are running for office."

POPSIn defence of plastic "New plastics that change from liquid to solid on impact are finding applications in protective clothing and plastic products are being developed using the principles of nature - an area of research called biomimetics. So plastic can be valuable and can be used for functions where it needs to last for a considerable length of time.

POPSSports Icons --- The Redeem Team Wins Gold
* Their patriotism. In nearly every interview, James and Bryant said how proud they were to be representing America. * Clutch play. We knew the Americans could win blowouts, and indeed most of the games were decided early. When the Redeem Team led Argentina by 20 points in the first quarter, you knew the outcome was not in doubt. * Teamwork and talent. Nobody hogged the ball. Wade said winning the gold showed that NBA stars could play with that same level of teamwork. They unquestionably did. There's also a time for great individual players to call for the ball and carry their team to victory, as Bryant did to turn back Spain. * Inspired picks. Chris Bosh was awfully scrawny to match up against European and South American teams. But he played brilliantly. I wasn't sure about Chris Paul at point guard either.

POPSMcCain Gets Revved Up and Heads to Biker Rally "Some of the Secret Service agents are bikers and have come to the Chip over the years," Rod Woodruff told the Argus Leader. "One of the agents yesterday told me he rode his Harley out in 1996, 2002 and 2004. He heard McCain was going to be here, and he immediately volunteered to be on staff for this event."
