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.

POPSPirates Set Up An Exchange to Manage Their Investments
"The shares are open to all and everybody can take part, whether personally at sea or on land by providing cash, weapons or useful materials ... we've made piracy a community activity." Haradheere, 400 km (250 miles) northeast of Mogadishu, used to be a small fishing village. Now it is a bustling town where luxury 4x4 cars owned by the pirates and those who bankroll them create honking traffic jams along its pot-holed, dusty streets. Somalia's Western-backed government of President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed is pinned down battling hard-line Islamist rebels, and controls little more than a few streets of the capital. The administration has no influence in Haradheere -- where a senior local official said piracy paid for almost everything. "Let the anti-piracy navies continue their search for us. We have no worries because our motto for the job is 'do or die'." Piracy investor Sahra Ibrahim, a 22-year-old divorcee, was lined up with others waiting for her cut of a ransom pay-out

POPSObama's Aunt: "I loved President Bush" "He is my No. 1 man in my life because he helped me when I really needed that help." - Meanwhile, while Obama is living the life of luxury, his Aunt lives in a dumpster, in a Boston slum. And while he treats his aunt like trash, refuses to buy her food to eat, don't expect he's going to care for your health. Amazing to me to this day liberals still lie about Bush. It's stunning actually and still makes me want to vomit. And her sobbing is because she has no contact with her nephew, President Barack Obama.

POPSRussia says terror attack most likely cause of train crash President Dmitry Medvedev called for calm over the incident. "We need there to be no chaos, because the situation is tense as it is," he told Russian TV. Government officials last night said investigators had found a 1 metre crater under the rails. Reuters reported today that its reporters at the scene had been unable to see it. Earlier, Russian news agencies had quoted transport officials as saying the cause may have been an electrical fault. According to the radio station Echo of Moscow, a far-right group opposed to migrants from the former Soviet republics of central Asia has claimed responsibility for the crash, which has delayed 27,000 passengers. The Kremlin is likely to blame Islamist extremists waging a guerrilla campaign in the north Caucasus. Rebel fighters have carried out numerous attacks in recent months, including suicide bombings, in an apparent attempt to establish an Islamic caliphate in the region.

POPSDemanding Rights "As long as you need acceptance from people, they will continue to disappoint you." How many times have we, as unique human individuals, tried to fit into some sort of mold that society would demand of us? Can anyone remember feeling weird or gangly or shy or not athletic enough or clumsy or, or, or? Some people lose that unique part of themselves on the road to conformity. Others, hide that difference on the inside. We, as a society, need to grow up and recognize the differences in all of us.

POPSRed Teeth the Pirate...I Mean, Environmentalist And that those "80 luxury automobiles crowded the shore as friends and family members of pirates clamored to get a share of the ransom money" have nothing to do with real motives. We've seen this before. We've seen Al Sharpton call them the "voluntary coast guard." And we've seen the "white Rat," an Idi Amin henchman, describe them as "brave...fisherman...seamen and navigators. They had no choice but to take revenge on foreign shipping and earn a living by ransom demands." Seriously. Is this where we break into "Gee, Officer Krupke"? Colleague Howard Nemerov made another telling observation about all this in yesterday's Austin Gun Rights Examiner column: The New York Times downplayed the fact that guns were aboard the Alabama, hiding it within one paragraph among other methods employed in the ship’s defense: "But a security team on board the Maersk Alabama responded with small-arms fire, long-range acoustical devices painful to

POPS The Talented Mr. Pang For Mr. Pang, it would become a pattern for the rest of his life"a flashy lifestyle that drew people to him, along with repeated accusations of deception that progressed from petty theft to a final, trans-Pacific heist. At the time of his death in September at age 42, Mr. Pang was battling charges by federal regulators that he ran a massive Ponzi-like scheme from his Irvine, Calif., investment firm. A court-appointed receiver accused him of using the firm as a "personal piggy bank" to help finance lavish habits that included private jets, luxury cars and gambling. The still-unraveling scandal cost his investors, most from his native Taiwan, as much as $600 million, according to estimates from the receiver. The coroner's report is expected by early January and with it, a ruling on whether the financier committed suicide. PEMGroup made a number of more mainstream investments, including loans to a start-up hotel venture, eSuites Hotels LLC, and a martial-arts....
