POPSWhen you get around to it, check this out Structured procrastination requires a certain amount of self-deception, since one is in effect constantly perpetrating a pyramid scheme on oneself. One needs to be able to recognize and commit oneself to tasks with inflated importance and unreal deadlines, while making oneself feel that they are important and urgent. This is not a problem, because virtually all procrastinators have excellent self-deceptive skills also. And what could be more noble than using one character flaw to offset the bad effects of another?

POPSNYT: US aid spending/GNP worst of developed nations "aggregate aid budget of the most developed nations amounts to 0.28 percent of their gross national income … The United States, shamefully, is at the bottom of the list, spending 0.16 percent of its income on development assistance"

POPSObama - a popular Freddie Mac Senator Obama is in the top 4 of political contribution recipients from Freddie Mac. The other 3, also Democrats. Then add Chris Dodd and Barney Frank to the mix and it's very 'clear' how they blame the Bush administration for the debacle.

POPSSimple Living, Trucker Style Go to the source for the list of this guy's material possessions, including his two "luxury items". I am trying to imagine living this way but am fairly certain that I could not do it and be happy. No room for, or way of life for, dogs or cats or other creatures that I care for. No room for photo albums or artwork or plants or quilts or memorabilia.... :(

POPSFederal Minerals Management Report: Wells Drilled 
Five of the leased wells found natural gas three decades ago August 20, 2008 Lautenberg and Menendez top 'porkers' New Jersey Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Bob Menendez were the No. 1 and No. 2 "top porkers" cited by Citizens Against Government Waste this week for the targeted spending items they sponsored in a transportation and housing bill approved last month by the Senate Appropriations Committee. CAGW said Lautenberg sponsored $85.4 million in earmarks and Menendez $83.9 million, but that could be misleading because Lautenberg cosponsored all of Menendez's items, so you can't add the two numbers together. In other words, the total outlay to New Jersey is $85.4 million -- and $75 million of that is for one project -- a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River. CAGW didn't list the items it considered pork, and it never does. A database compiled by Taxpayers for Common Sense does list the projects, however. http://njmg.typepad.com/herbjackson/2008/08/lautenberg

POPSGOP: Lose Your Home, Lose Your Vote (cont.)McCain, who owns ten houses, has long been a lackey of the banking industry and a strong supporter of the industry's efforts to weaken government safeguards against irresponsible lending. Since 1989, the financial services, insurance and real estate industries have contributed $23.8 million to McCain's campaigns, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. This sector far outspent any other industry in making donations to the Arizona senator. Topping the list of McCain donors are Merrill Lynch ($366,035), Citigroup ($317,751), Goldman Sachs ($305,015), Morgan Stanley ($253,871), JPMorgan Chase ($207,728), Credit Suisse Group ($178,825), UBS ($178,515), Pinnacle West Capital ($164,050), Bank of America ($160,625), Lehman Brothers ($128,550) and Wachovia Corp ($121,346).

POPSBooks you should read before you die Most of the books on the list I have not heard of. Like most lists, and most people, they have different perspectives. I'm glad to see that Haruki Murakami has several books on the list. Though i do believe that his new novel After Dark and his short stories are better that his popular Kafka Currently I'm reading a Robert Ludlum (The Matarese Countdown), cant say that I'm that impressed. What are you reading? And is it worth reading.
