POPSKarzai vows to clamp down on corruption Why should he be the only one that has to run a corruption free government. Don't have to dig too deep in our own countries to find plenty. Where there are humans, there is greed. Where there is greed, there is corruption.

POPSWillhelm is so pathetic that he cannot discuss anything without resorting to insult and ad hominem. Of course he's a god in his own little world because he blocks anyone that points out his glaring logical flaws in his clips. Just go to the linked clipmark to see what an underwear stain the guy is.

POPSWrist-slap and Tackle: Obama Goes Mild on CIA Torture http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/artic
Holder has announced a tepid probe into some of the possible "excesses" committed by a few CIA interrogators, while letting the true architects and perpetrators of an elaborate, deliberate, inherent system of torture get off scot-free. Glenn Greenwald has many of the details here and here, among them the telling – and damning – fact that Obama and Holder have apparently decided that the "torture memos" prepared at the White House's order should be considered "settled law;" that is, only those agents whose tortures might have gone a bit beyond the already heinous tortures "allowed" by the White House memos are to be investigated for possible prosecution. As long as you stayed within the gruesome "guidelines" of the White House torture memos, then your atrocities are now to be considered "legal." This is yet another open reinforcement of the long-established covert practice of what we might call Nixon's Law: "If the president orders it, it cannot be illegal."

POPSStreet Urinal Makes Public Peeing Practical Practical!?! Seriously!?! This is a big problem in Barcelona? I think I have to disagree with the claim “because the locals have some taste”. If they had some taste this concept would become public toilets, inside a building, with running water.

POPSCNN Crackpot Lou Dobbs Continues to Raise Questions about Obama's Birth Certificate Even though his own network (through a substitute host on his own show) thoroughly debunked the birther nonsense, CNN crackpot Lou Dobbs continues to raise questions about Obama's birth certificate. Why CNN continues to employ this crank and passes him off as a responsible journalist escapes all reason. My guess is that he has good ratings and CNN is only concerned about its profits and not its journalistic integrity.

POPSAs Long as They Weren't Murdered, It Wasn't Torture “is basically subject to perception. If the detainee dies, you’re doing it wrong.” These words will haunt us in the near future with an increase in terrorism and with an ugly stain of shame that might take a few generations to overcome. Shame on us.

POPSMy Son Goes to War, I Am Fully Israeli At Last
Besides the "routine lies," of USA/Israeli propaganda, i.e. people who are being slowly starved to death by a blockade are 'terrorist,' if a few of them fight back...that there were real efforts of peace rather than pretense as land grabs and destruction of Palestine continued. Besides these routine lies, the lie about Israel 'losing' the 2006 war in Lebanon truly bewildering.. Lebanon was blown back into the Stone Age (Propaganda reason: 2 Israeli soldiers were kidnapped). The U.S. supplied F-16 jet warplanes blasted Lebanon day after day, like in Gaza 2007 and now again in 2009; Israel suffered practically no comparable damages and they want us to believe they "lost" the war? Strange. Now, after years of Gaza being walled off like a prison, an extensive blockage starving people to death & with F-16's -- it's like 'shooting fish in a barrel.' This massacre in the Gaza Ghetto is an atrocity, a permanent stain in world history. With the support of all Western p

POPSUN suspends Gaza aid operations 700 already killed, humanitarian workers are dead and United Nation mission unable to provide help for wounded and children. It is anything but self-defense. It is not only atrocities and apartheid, it is full scale massacre. Razing civil population for hooligan actions unruled fanatics with winged homemade pipe bombs is war crime against humanity. Shame on world leaders for their silent and even voiced support of war criminals. Nationality or religion of perpetrators play no role in measuring their deeds; they will stay in history of humankind as terrible blood stain.

POPSBiden Noncommittal on Torture Prosecutions Fine Joe. Let's look forward. In fact, let's look forward to prosecuting people for torture. It would be a tremendous injustice if people who were responsible for this monstrous stain on our national record went unpunished. While I'm willing to give Team Obama the benefit of the doubt and wait until they take the wheel to start worrying about what they aren't doing, this isn't the most heartening thing I've heard so far. We may have to pile on congress to get them to take up the slack here. We shouldn't have to, but we may.

POPS12 Uses For Vinegar I couldn't do without it. I buy it by the gallon! Vinegar is really good for removing calcium build-up and as a hair conditioner too (especially if you have hard water) It shines up my kitchen sink like a charm and put a little in the water bucket when you wash windows for a streak free view. Mix a little with some yoghurt and you have an excellent aftersun lotion that works better than any store-bought variety IMO and it helps avoid peeling if you get sunburnt. Zap a cup of it and the microwave oven becomes a breeze to clean. Save LOTS of money and lower your use of toxic chemicals coz it's eco-friendly too!

POPSNewest Neckties Reduce the Spread of Germs Off the wall eh? But campaigning against hospital acquired infections presses my buttons. In this particular case I would have thought that as effective would be a ban on surgeons wearing neckties.
