POPSSwine flu victim grandson of media mogul Posted as a counterpoint to the ignorant folks who automatically cried "illegal immigrant poor" when this child's story first broke. We're all in this together, and the Mexican people are not a collective bunch of illiterate peasants as many Americans would like to label them. As the wife of a Hispanic whose grandmother was a Mexican citizen, it's a sore spot for me.

POPSBig PR push from the Pentagon is a BIG LIE! Don't be fooled by Gates gentle demeanor. While this cutting of some foolish programs might be a step in the right direction, the Pentagon is not going to give up their toys of destruction easily. This is a massive PR attempt to make us believe that the Democrat asshats are peace lovers. ...it just ain't true.

POPSMichelle Obama serves soup, Nation misses the point
Conservatives are all over this photo. Not because the first lady is promoting volunteerism by actually doing rather than talking, but because someone in line has a cell phone. The assumptions are: 1-the homeless cannot possibly afford a cell phone, 2-this man is homeless yet owns an expensive cell phone with all the bells and whistles and is therefore cheating the ‘system’. This article answers these assumptions very well by debunking common misconceptions many of us have of the homeless and poor. Those conservatives we most often hear from (the ones yelling the loudest) have jobs (paying much more than minimum wage), a comfortable home to go to after their job, drive a well-maintained vehicle, enjoy all the trappings that money provides, and generally are out of touch with the majority of working class people. From the article: “you'd have to be a magician to stretch a minimum-wage job to cover housing, transportation, food, healthcare, childcare and other incidental expe

POPSBaby, You're Home *shudder* This brings back memories of my second labor. I laid in the hospital through 3 shifts because my daughter was posterior, and I can remember vomiting and thinking goodbye cruel world cause I'm gonna die and I don't care as long as my baby makes it.

POPSOn Travel - Inspirational Quotes “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” - Henry Miller “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain “Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” - Miriam Beard “To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” - Bill Bryson “Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by.” - Robert Frost “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” “Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.” - Paul Theroux “A wise traveler never despises his own country.” - Carlo Goldoni

POPSThe New York Post Ain't Got No Klass! One again the Rupert Murdoch's New York Post finds a way to demonstrate its total lack of sensitivity to the gay community. Why anyone reads that trash sheet I do not understand, and yet it is very popular among New Yorker's, at least those living within the 5 boroughs of the city.
