POPSBrainwashing 101 mmm mmm mmm! Jones, who delivers supplies to about 800 schools, said he remembers seeing the design but didn't think anything about it. He said the supplies were designed by a different company and that "the art department was trying to be cutesy." "I wish I could do it over. But, for now, I can just make it right," Jones said. It's his job to go to schools that might have received supplies with the controversial design and remove them. Finding what schools the supplies went to has been difficult. From a case of 72 notebooks, three have been found that have a design similar to the Obama logo.

POPSThis is NOT the WORLD I KNOW!!!! The 12-foot-long ads had a blue background and three-foot-high white letters that proclaimed, "You don't have to believe in god to be a moral or ethical person." Spokeswoman Jane Everhart said American society was increasingly accepting of atheists and says President Obama even mentioned "nonbelievers" in his inaugural speech.

POPSGood Slogan,“End of the Road, 2010!” Catchy 
OK, forget that last bit for a minute … there’s no indication they can make anything happen even with House and Senate majorities, and they’ve done everything they can to avoid actually saying what they are for, anyway. It’s the naked surrenderism that is truly astonishing. It’s not just that are they ready to give up if the GOP wins back some seats. Did they learn nothing from George Bush? He got what he wanted even when they took Congress. He’s still having key parts of it his way even after the opposition took the White House … on a ticket that called for doing anything but what Bush did. Now Biden, his boss and the Congressional leadership are looking for a politically viable way to lose a war Bush showed them how to win. While apparently, if that “End of the Road 2010″ statement represents their reality, in no particularly big rush to advance their agenda and not particularly hopeful about it. Help me out here. Why’d they even run in the first place?

POPSBloomington Rejects 'You Can Be Good Without God'; Lawsuit Underway Belief in Gods isn’t a precondition to being good. In fact, I’d wager people who don’t believe are often more moral because they’re not just doing things for a divine reward or because they’re afraid of the divine Hell punishment if they don’t. Conversely, I have many religious friends who are moral, honest and caring people whom I have a hard time believing would regress into immoral, nasty people if their religion disappeared.

POPSAd Campaign Fights Back I didn't miss the irony inherent in this story. The opening paragraph tags Dawkins as a "firebrand" yet the message struck me as a bit tepid, While definitionally correct (and some might even argue that point) the claim that there "probably" is no god struck me as a comment carefully chosen to cast the least amount of controversy. Tomato/tomahto...

POPS NBC Selling “Yes We Did” T-Shirts However, the t-shirt, above all, has the appearance of impropriety for a network that claims to report news and not just opinion and commentary. The implication of selling a “YES WE DID” t-shirt is that NBC was an active participant in helping the campaign as much as anyone who worked on the campaign staff, or, in the least, was an active supporter of Obama’s run.

POPSVirtually No U.S. Media Interest In 'Imploding' Canadian Press State-Run Health Care Story "We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize," Doing (sic) said in an interview with The Canadian Press. Given the current debate in the U.S. over health care and private insurance, and the president's seeming determination to force a state-controlled and ultimately state-run health care regime onto the remaining portion of the system that is still privately run, you would think that the story out of Canada might have attracted the interest of U.S. establishment media outlets. Noel thought that "It's going to be absolutely delicious to see how this gets reported by Obama-loving media in the next 24 hours." Four days later, deliciously proving that "the Obama-loving media" is more than a mere slogan, there has virtually no original source establishment media coverage of what Ms. Doig said, or of anything else relayed in the Graham's CP report.

POPSYour Tax Dollars Hard at Work: First cars, Now Foreign Oil FTA: "Buy American is a wonderful slogan, but you can't say in one breath that you want to strengthen our economy and stimulate it, and then in another ship our much-needed dollars to a nation desperate to drill while depriving us of the same opportunity." INDEED!!!

POPSExpressions that define cultures 9. Maningue Nice, Mozambique A cross between a purely national term and a flair of English, maningue nice means “very nice” and is the closest thing to a slogan in Mozambique. Scream it from the tallest buildings whenever fortune favors you. 10. Bahala Na, Philippines Come What May. A Cross Cultural Theme When I started researching these expressions, I was expecting to find similarities based on geography: patterns in Asia, South America, Western Europe, etc. I was surprised, however, to find a cross-cultural theme; many of these phrases are used in response to circumstances beyond people’s control. How each culture is epitomized in these terms is indicative of how they react to unfortunate or unavoidable events. The Japanese and French suck it up; the Thais, Kiwis, Aussies, and others shrug it off; Arabs put the responsibility to a higher power.
