POPSCooking With My Punk Ass Little Sister...
Then she left home and became a woman while I married a cattle rancher and said goodbye, essentially forever, to my beloved repertoire of gourmet cuisine. Betsy graduated from college, lived in various big cities, and now resides in Austin, Texas with her tech-nerd husband, Matt, where she spends her days cooking all the food snob dishes I so unselfishly taught her to make so many years ago. And she calls me as she’s eating them and makes me cry real tears. Then I go fry up another pork chop and get over myself. Come along with Betsy and me as we make one of our favorites: Penne a la Betsy, as I like to call it. It’s simple, flavorful, and whomever you make it for will pledge their eternal admiration and support for you. And they’ll kiss your big toe.The Cast of Characters: Shrimp, Penne (or other short pasta), butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, heavy cream, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Brace yourselves, people. Your life’s about the change for the better. And y

POPSCoal Train Ambushed Near Power Station Most of the group then clambered up the bridge and dropped food, water and bedding for at least 24 hours from its overhead beams on to the flat tops of the trucks. "We've enough for at least two days," said Ben Tennyson, one of the Climate Camp activists, as a mobile lavatory was swung aboard by a woman campaigner dressed as a canary - coal-mining's traditional warning of danger. A banner was then draped along one of the trucks reading Leave it in the Ground - the slogan of the group's "total war" on mining and burning coal. "We're stopping the train because it's absolute nonsense to be burning coal when we should be tackling climate change," another protester told a woman commuter, late for work, who was one of a jam of motorists blocked at nearby Hirst Courtney level crossing. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jun/14/activists.carbonemissions

POPSQuotes from McCain's Wacko spiritual advisers Please tell me this isn't reality. Because if it is, we are all living in a very warped parallel universe of insanity. I have only one thought for anyone who listens to the nonsense put out by some clergy people and that is: JUST BECAUSE THEY WEAR A ROBE OR JUST BECAUSE THESE HUMANS (and I use that term lightly) ACT LIKE THEY ARE A GOOD FRIEND TO GOD, DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NOT CRAZY! (If anyone uttered the sounds these wacks, mouth off and didn't have pastor, reverend minister, parson or preacher in front of their names... They would be laughed at and then carried off to a padded cell!) http://www.thethinkingblue.com/MCCAINADVISERS.html

POPSMcCain supporter Rev.Parsely on KKK, Nazis, Blacks, Planned Parenthood
"If I were call for the sterilization or the elimination of an entire segment of society, I'd be labeled a racist or a murderer, or at very best a Nazi," "That every single year, millions of our tax dollars are funding a national organization built upon that very goal -- their target: African Americans. That's right, the death toll: nearly fifteen hundred African Americans a day. The shocking truth of black genocide." "Right now our own government is allowing organizations like Planned Parenthood to legally take the innocent lives of precious baby girls and baby boys and even footing the bill for it all with our tax dollars, turning every single one of us into accessories to murder," "You know who their biggest fans must be, that must be the KKK, because the woman who founded this organization detested black people.... African Americans were number one on Margaret Sanger's list. So this 'Lady MacDeath,' as I like to call her, studied the works of Englishman Malthus, and embraced

POPSTHIS is McCain's "Spiritual Advisor?" "Parsley claims that Islam is an "anti-Christ religion" predicated on "deception." The Muslim prophet Muhammad, he writes, "received revelations from demons and not from the true God. And he emphasizes this point: "Allah was a demon spirit." Parsley does not differentiate between violent Islamic extremists and other followers of the religion" Parsley, who refers to himself as a "Christocrat," is no stranger to controversy. In 2007, the grassroots organization he founded, the Center for Moral Clarity, called for prosecuting people who commit adultery. In January, he compared Planned Parenthood to Nazis. In the past Parsley's church has been accused of engaging in pro-Republican partisan activities in violation of its tax-exempt status."

POPS"Great Whore" Bits back: Religion in US Election "By receiving the endorsement of an outspoken critic of the Catholic church, McCain once again demonstrates that he is willing to sell out his principles for a chance to win the presidency," said Chris Korzen, executive director of Catholics United. McCain also campaigned in Ohio this week with Rod Parsley, a television evangelist who leads a group called the Centre for Moral Clarity. McCain called Parsley — who has suggested that adulterers should be prosecuted and compared members of the abortion-rights group Planned Parenthood to Nazis — a "spiritual guide". "During his 2000 run for president against George Bush, McCain called evangelical preachers Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson "agents of intolerance". He later apologised in the face of mounting anger from Christian groups, saying he intended the statement as a joke. ...Guardian
