POPSThe painful life of a football player...years later. Though i suppose it shouldn't be surprising, to read the stories of former professional football players - who can barely move and live in constant pain - is extremely disturbing. It seems disgusting that the NFL has turned their back on them. I'm a huge football fan, but i have to admit that i feel uncomfortable being a fan of a sport that will end up leaving so many men practically disabled.

POPSI'll Be Damned If I'll Let You Misrepresent Me {{Blueridge}} says: Motive: Her romantic advances were rejected. There is no "hate crime" law for this, and depicts a similar scenario to one proposed in a Clipmark here, in its horrific reality. She will get life, while the "friend" she hated, got death. "Crimes of passion" are born of those who are not gratified in trying to obtain their selfish pleasures (like the men of Sodom who were storming Mayor Lot's House to "make sport" w/ two visitors, to take them by force). Passion is not "love", it is self-love, for personal gratification, and holds the targeted "romance" object as personal property, which they claim possession of mentally (giving birth to unjust jealousy), and therefore usurp to themselves a claim to use force to obtain or revenge. Sometimes in crime, other times something less. Note too the murderer was portrayed as a victim for "coming out as a lesbian". Astonishing.

POPSVitali Klitschko vs Kevin Johnson
On Saturday, look out for one of the top heavyweight fights of 2009, when WBC champion Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KO’s), takes on the undefeated Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KO’s). The fight will be Klitschko’s third title defense of 2009, and fourth overall, after coming back from retirement in 2008. Klitschko held the heavyweight title before leaving the sport in 2005 due to injuries. In his last title defense, Klitschko beat the previously undefeated Chris Arreola. Johnson on the other hand, is relatively unknown, but is currently ranked Ring Magazine’s No. 10 challenger in the heavyweight division. He earned this fight by defeating Devin Vargas in May. As for Saturday night in Bern, Switzerland (where this Klitschko vs Johnson is taking place), it will be power against power, like most truly great heavyweight matchups. Klitschko is known for his dominant punching power, which should be no surprise because of those 37 knockouts in 38 wins. 97 percent of Klitschko’s wins have come by

POPS Expedition Great White EXPEDITIONS: * By mounting long-lasting tracking tags and taking measurements and DNA samples from live, wild sharks in this expedition, scientists are hoping to unravel the mysteries of the great white’s lifecycle ― where they are born, how they mate, where they migrate, aggregate, and more ― to help conserve and protect these endangered animals. * Dr. Domeier has developed profiles on almost 100 great whites based on their gill slits, pelvic fins, tails and color patterns. * He designed the most advanced real-time tracking devices ever made ― lasting up to six years and capable of sending 120,000 messages. * A line that can hold 5,000 pounds along with four fixed buoys can together create hundreds of pounds of drag that eventually wear down sharks’ resistance, allowing crew members to hand-reel them in safely. * The shark is then lifted onto the platform with a unique forklift that can safely hold 37 tons.

POPSRoss Perot Jr Haggling to Finish Off the Rhino He Shot That Got Away "White rhino (Ceratotherum simum) are considered a conservation-dependent species and are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Intense efforts have increased the population from fewer than 100 in 1895 to approximately 17,500 today. Supporters of trophy hunting claim it is a viable method for “managing” the white rhino population. The practice also brings in tourism dollars and helps fund conservation efforts. Many others oppose the notion of trophy hunting, pointing out that killing an animal to get a thrill - and acquire a stuffed head for one’s wall - is not an acceptable “sport”." Apparently his son Hill Perot got his trophy, "white rhino head".

POPSHated Roosevelt, Hate Obama: Paleoconservative Persuasions
Nock saw the state as “them,” not “us,” and “them” really came to mean Roosevelt. You must know that Roosevelt was hated by many during the Great Depression. Not disliked, hated. The laissez faire crowd saw every move toward government relief of intolerable conditions as government self-aggrandizement—Nock’s term, not mine. Despite the fact that people were desperate in the streets, extreme-sport capitalists saw only usurpation of the powers of the church (as the precursor to the modern social relief agency) and the individual—that old fall-back, the rugged individual—Nock’s term, not mine. Professor Nock pulls no punches. With a Beckian flourish he proclaims, “This regime was established by a coup d'État of a new and unusual kind, practicable only in a rich country.” Yup. A coup d’etat. You almost want to ask for Mr. Roosevelt’s birth certificate. Nock’s antipathy to Roosevelt knew few boundaries. Perversely, Nock saw in the New Deal, “the erection of po

POPSChanging The World "It can start with just a few small steps. Mrs. Parks helped transform a nation by refusing to budge from her seat. Maybe you want to speak up publicly about an important issue, or host a house party, or perhaps arrange a meeting of soon-to-be dismissed employees, or parents at a troubled school. It’s a risk, sure. But the need is great, and that’s how you change the world."
