POPSLatin American Politics I love this. Chavez is no saint as he has a poor record in terms of domestic political repression. However, lets give credit where credit is due. Shutting down McDonalds even for just a few days is a powerful act against one of the worst corporations on this planet. The fact that Chavez shut down Pepsi earlier this year is great as well. Can anyone imagine what would happen in the USofA if Bush/Congress did the same thing. Boy would you say riots in the streets.

POPSIdentity Politics — It's What's for Dinner In Denver For a campaign that promised post-racial politicking, its candidate and surrogates haven't been above race-baiting at the drop of a hat. This goes hand in hand with Obama's repeated baseless smears of John McCain as a racist. Emil Jones just followed Obama's lead, as Obama has followed his. Post racial = everybody is a racist, so the word no longer has any meaning?

POPSThe arrests begin at DNC So, not giving their names is considered a minor infraction and yet they were arrested for it. Denver Joint Information Center would not give out information, shouldn't they be arrested under the same rule?

POPSWil S**t Hapen? This smacks of petty paranoia. Comments at the source offered some creative solutions: "waterguns full of bleach or urine, just like releasing poisonous snakes, just like the balloons filled with hydrochloric acid... this is just police fantasy. There is a big difference between being prepared for a situation and preparing for a fictional tactic that you came up with yourself" "Carry empty buckets and fill them on-site. Ex-Lax helps. " I can see it now: "Is that a bucket of feces?" "No, officer. It's a firkin of feces." "Oh. Okay, then."

POPSNo bikes allowed at 'greenest convention in history' A group called Bikes Belong, is looking forward to promoting their idea that bicycling is a good alternative to cars for downtown areas. Bikes are provided free to anyone with a credit card and drivers license. Convention organizers gave no reason why bike usage was not considered in their 'green' plan.

POPSFlood victims say FEMA is doing a heckuva job Since FEMA received mega-press for it's perceived failures during the Hurricane, it seemed fair to post a clip that gives the organization some praise for doing a good job. However, I believe the magnitude and circumstances are entirely different. I am still amazed by a government/Country who will so willingly hand out millions of dollars to its citizens who have lost homes and property in these *natural* disasters.

POPSThe Economics Of Prostitution Edlund and Korn admit that spouses and streetwalkers aren't exactly alike. Wives, in truth, are superior to whores in the economist's sense of being a good whose consumption increases as income rises--like fine wine. This may explain why prostitution is less common in wealthier countries. But the implication remains that wives and whores are--if not exactly like Coke and Pepsi--something akin to champagne and beer. The same sort of thing. As with Becker, a key differentiator in Edlund and Korn's model is reproductive sex. Wives can offer it, whores can not. Why do hookers make so much money? According to data assembled- "Combine this with the fact that marriage can be an important source of income for women, and it follows that prostitution must pay better than other jobs to compensate for the opportunity cost of forgone-marriage market earnings,

POPSProduct Placement, even in your kids books It is the trend. It's annoying. But do the kids mind? Probably not. Nick Hornby's book is riddled with the names "Starbucks" and Tony Hawk's biography. Did it stop me from reading? No. Did it annoy the crap out of me like the way Pepsi is so prominently displayed in certain movies? YES! Here's a NYT article on the issue and 2 writers opinions. Interesting reading.

POPSChinese 'Sexy Photo Gate" Battle
With a headline like: "Lurid images tell a tawdry tale," it's hard to skip over. & the idea that the posting of 'lurid photos,' of Chinese celebrities has become a Battle for Internet Freedom is also intriguing. also here a twist on a famous saying of nChinese Revolution leader, Chairman Mao...who, while being a bit of a thug leader said something good about the idea of freedom, saying 'let a thousand flowers grow,' and now... Now the Chinese Netizens have posted: "When one IP address is shut down, a hundred thousand spring up/When one identity is shut down, a hundred thousand spring up. Also !? Can it really be true that a Chinese bishop in Hong Kong quoted the "Speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil proverb, claiming it was part of The Bible? So,...Sexy Photos? Netizens? Chairman Mao? Bishops fabricating Bible quotes? It doesn't get much better than this. IMO & "And if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you're not going to make it with anyone
