POPSMore facts, not profit inducing hype The article goes on to give concrete examples of the damage "free trade" has caused us. This "recession" is happening for two reasons: 1-the government's greed and acquiessence to banking industry because of tax revenues & campaign/lobby contributions. And, the gutting of our wealth producing industries. For god's sake, go through your pantries and pull out only the goods that state MADE, PRODUCED or MANUFACTURED in America. If the label says "distributed", call the company and ask WHERE it was processed. You will be shocked. Now realize that China is quietly amping up prices and re-valuing the yuan. All the "cost savings" from off shoring will soon be for naught. And, we no longer have the machinery, equipment or government regulation (lack of) to re-create the industry.

POPS12 Hilarious Tombstones
Another list from Oddee.com. The people who put this site together have a definite eye for the strange and unusual... Obviously, there should be some Rules about Dying: 1. If you know you are dying and have a name that will cause people to laugh and have their pics taken with your stone, change your name! 2. If you have a Wife AND a Mistress, make sure there is no way they will ever be able to pay you back. 3. Leaving A Funny Epitaph is good, leaving a tombstone that will label you DUMBASS is not so good. 4. If you want to leave a in a hilarious, yet tragic death: go for the hilarious. You will be remembered longer and liked more. 5. If you really want to stand out as a memorable person in the memorial sort of way, hire a poet to write a fitting epitaph and then die in the way specified.. 6. Most of all, remember this: Paybacks are a B*TCH, So treat your heirs or at least the person who will arrange for your final monument well, if not YOU too, can have a marker like the

POPSReport Spotlights Iraq Rebuilding Blunders In one passage, for example, former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell is quoted as saying that in the months after the 2003 invasion, the Defense Department “kept inventing numbers of Iraqi security forces — the number would jump 20,000 a week! ‘We now have 80,000, we now have 100,000, we now have 120,000.’ ” Mr. Powell’s assertion that the Pentagon inflated the number of competent Iraqi security forces is backed up by Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the former commander of ground troops in Iraq, and L. Paul Bremer III, the top civilian administrator until an Iraqi government took over in June 2004.

POPSThe Battle Hymn of The New Republic You'll be sorry how he's used ya; you'll be sorry how he's used ya, Chris you'll be sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on. Mine eyes have seen the New York Times as it descends to naught; The liberal pup who inherited it all has driven it to aught. This murderer of the Old Gray Dame's a spoiled and stupid snot; But this dupe keeps marching on. You'll be sorry how he's used ya; you'll be sorry how he's used ya, You'll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on. Mine eyes have seen these cattle as they kneel and meekly moo; They're hooves are trampling out our votes uncaring what they do. Where once there was some honesty there's now no news that's true; But these dupes keep marching on. You'll be sorry how he's used ya; you'll be sorry how he's used ya, You'll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on. Russ Vaughn

POPS"Lest we Forget" The Big H in slow motion. "America's shoe in, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, has seemingly borrowed his predecessor Kofi Annan's two word lexicon (“concern” and “regret”) and announced his “concern” at the situation. That, only after he had spoken of Israel's threat from home made rockets, fired by the resistance, before verbally tiptoeing round Gaza's threat from weapons of mass destruction fired by the land baggers. Jordan's King Addullah did better, citing Israel's “state terrorism, in violation of all international covenants”, with his acting Foreign Minister, Nasser Judah, demanding a halt to the carnage and slamming Israel's violation of “international law”. Rogue states, as Israel, America and Britain, however, care naught for international law, the former two countries stolen and settled on the blood and beloved land of others and Britain, over centuries having plundered and culled across a swathe of the entire globe with impunity. ...
