POPSMilitary Working Dogs; Saving Lives on the Battlefield “These dogs are important because of the job they do for our military,” said Chirdon, who has been in the Marine Corps for more than six years. “They clear houses, roads and many other areas for our deployed military men and women. “Military working dogs are also very smart and, no matter how good technology is, a dog is always better. They also provide a huge psychological deterrent to enemies and stop many potentially bad situations before they even start. Nobody wants to be bit by a dog,” he said. Chirdon understands that facing ferocious attacks, hammering in constant commands and providing frequent praise will one day pay off with human lives saved on the battlefield.

POPSObama's Critics Are Also in His Administration Those deficits were nothing compared to those provided in Obama's budget. His deficits would last years after the recession is over and in spite of the massive tax increases that promises to accompany them. The Democrats correctly criticized Bush's deficits. Feldstein notes that Obama's deficits, because of its expensive health care agenda will reach $9.3 trillion -- more than twice the amount of the previous administration. In an earlier article in the Washington Post, Feldstein noted that "For the 85 percent of Americans who already have health insurance, the Obama health plan is bad news. It means higher taxes, less health care and no protection if they lose their current insurance because of unemployment or early retirement." Feldstein also notes that the price of the program is enormous and would cost more than $1 trillion and would raise the current maximum tax rate from 35 to 45 percent.

POPSMore and more e-books being stored on the 'cloud' It will be very interesting to see which of these approaches becomes the preferred option, and especially how popular "demand" affects "price". Given the increasing availability of "annotation" services that overlay web content and the increasing demands on personal time, it is easy to anticipate that "user generated" annotation content may well become the modern equivalent of the Reader's Digest "condensed" book.

POPSHillary Clinton Gives “Smart Diplomacy” A Solid B-plus Yes, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has ‘fessed up that Barack Obama’s “smart diplomacy,” which seems to be comprised of writing pretty letters and giving pretty speeches aimed at Iran, has produced results just as impressive as the smart diplomacy policy with North Korea. Which is zero. This video demonstrates a first: Former UN Ambassador John Bolton and Clinton agreeing on something. Source: Gateway Pundit

POPS Sarah Rocks on Conan's Reading Duo With William Shatner Earlier this year, I linked to a Palin-friendly interview Andrew Breitbart did on Neil Cavuto. In it, he set Gov. Palin a challenge: Cavuto: "What should she do?" Breitbart: "I think she just continues being Sarah Palin and I think that she needs to go out there and show that she has a fight in her because this is like Rocky Two: Can this person come back from a drubbing?" After the launch of her mega-bestselling autobiography, her whirlwind book tour, her knock 'em dead appearance at the Gridiron dinner, and her awesome head to head with William Shatner on the Tonight Show, I think we can safely say the answer to that question is 'yes'. Or rather: hell yeah! And when I mean connected, I really mean connected. Not just showing a likable personality - funny, smart, willing to have a laugh at her own expense - but connecting at a more basic level; the level which defines what really makes people American. http://bit.ly/8GtMHe

POPSRUNNING OUT OF BULLETS “Why are we listening to any of those guys down there? They’re making our situation worse,” he said. “They said in writing yesterday the solution to our problem is to spend more money … that’s what got us into this problem: too much debt.” “That’s like saying to Tiger Woods, ‘you get another girlfriend and it will solve your problems’ or ‘five more girlfriends and you will solve your problems,’” he said. “We’re all going to pay the price for this in, one, two, three years,” Rogers added. “The next time that we have problems in the economy, which will not be too long, we don’t have any bullets left. We’ve shot everything we had to solve our problems.” “What are they going to do, quadruple the debt again? Print more money? We don’t have any trees left. We’re running out of trees.

POPSAmericans: A Protrait Despite the fact that there are a lot of smart, well-informed Americans, this is the reality that is presented to the world. Or maybe it's just that people like this all have the biggest mouths and/or nothing better to do with their time than slavishly do whatever Glen Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh tell them to do.

POPSHenry's Brain Lives On "Last week, a year after Molaison's death, Annese and his team began cutting the brain into thousands of slices, the first phase of a project that will use new technology to preserve the 83-year-old brain. The work will produce both highly magnified images of the brain that will be available on the Internet and a collection of tissue slices that can be used by researchers worldwide. It will offer a digital map of Molaison's brain in extremely fine detail, a way to re-examine theories based on examinations of him in life, perhaps leading to new insights into the mind responsible for so much of what we know about memory."

POPSPro-Rape Republicans "embarassed" by Franken's anti-rape bill So let's recap: -Franken proposes a bill amendment that says mercenary companies fighting our wars for us can't force their female employees into rigged arbitration (rather than civil court) when they get gang-raped by their co-workers. -The pro-rape Republicans vote against it. Okay, I'll give them that they were voting for their corporate masters, but their corporate masters are interested in sweeping employee-on-employee gangrape under the rug. -The pro-rape Republicans think Franken is rude and inappropriate for forcing them to show their true colors to the public. Why not stand up and defend your votes, Repiublicans? Ten of your party sided with Franken against letting corporations sweep rapes and assaults under the rug. I think a lot of people who dismiss Franken as a clown are going to come to understand that's he's actually a very smart, well-read policy wonk who is also funny.
