POPSBiden: "I Have Been Field Dressed!" Update: 10:20 - Quite literally in the same breath, Joe laments, "I'm not gonna change..." and then goes on to boast about his record of change. Update: 10:24 - After an unsteady beginning, Palin seemed to get consistenly more comfortable (and more effective throughout the debate). In the home stretch, she's managing to stay on positive notes, enunciating her and McCain's strong points, and thus keeping possession of the ball, leaving Biden to spend much of his times grouchily refuting her. Update: 10:28 - On the final question regarding "changing the tone" in Washington, Joe claims he has never - not since his freshman year anyway - questioned the motives (or opposed to the judgment) of a fellow Senator. Fact check away. Update: 10:38 - Was anyone else bracing for an awkward "hot mic" moment after the debate ended and they left both candidates' mics open?

POPSSanta Cruz takes back Drum Circle with a BANG! For the third week the community came out despite the heavy handed violent police presence last week. Children danced, people played music. One has to ask, why did all this have to happen in the first place? Why the riot gear and tear gas? The 15 min parking Lot Paranoia Law, makes it illegal to be in any downtown PUBLIC lot for any reason, for more than 15 min. It has only been used against the poor, activists and "undesirables" not breaking any constitutional laws. This week was a great victory!

POPSWarren Buffett Reveals Bailout's Dirty Little Secret They should just listen to Buffet - the man obviously knows what he is doing and has nothing to gain from the advice. The Bernanke and Paulson plan however will allow all their buddies to still stay rich. It really should come down to what is right for the American people, not what is right for a select few.

POPSIllegal dumping of Girlfriend According to investigators, the man had lived with the sophisticated doll for several years after his wife passed away, but decided to part with her after making plans to move in with one of his children. “It seems he grew attached to the doll over the years,” said the chief investigator. “He was confused about how to get rid of her. He thought it would be cruel to cut her up into pieces and throw her out with the trash, so he proceeded to dump her illegally.”

POPSNewborn Baby Found Alive in Trash Can at Phoenix Middle School This is so very, very sad but not surprising. I'm sure it is not an uncommon incident. Is this the fruits of all those years of sex educations in our schools? How many now?? Yes, I know it's not just the schools; sex is promoted...hello!!! *promoted* to our young ones at every turn. Pretty soon they'll be following the ways of the ancient/decadent/hedonistic world...throw them into the river or sacrifice them to their god. In this case, the god of stupidity, selfishness and self-gratification.

POPSLondonTimes: Death of social conservatism in the USA "America is imperfect. It has no divine right to be the world's leading nation. And yet - in this glorious political year - something about it sings. And as the American Olympic team reminded us when we looked at it and wondered at its multicolour, multi-ethnic vibrancy (more than 30 members were born abroad) this nation is ours. There is nothing wrong in wishing it well."

POPSLeft Comprehension Gap At the root of this curious gulf of ignorance has always been the fact that the left is unable to understand that conservatives keenly understand them and the alleged rationales behind their policies. We know they think government needs an active role in social justice, that civic and free market mechanisms like business, church, and charity are insufficient to deal with poverty, urban decay, and the social pathologies that foster them. They think that in order to foster social progress, the state needs to assume active advocacy roles on a limitless range of issues. We understand. We may utterly disagree and denounce it to hell, but we understand. When conservatives see liberals, they see the proponents of bad, inefficient, and eminently corruptible state and social systems that with eye-watering predictability, corrupt those who administer them and harm their alleged beneficiaries. Often for generations.

POPSDemocrat Qualifications Oops, I didn't mean to condescendingly trash white women and call them all baby-making trailer trash. Well, actually I did but now I have to pretend I didn't.

POPSRaging Grannies and Trash Orchestra to Defend Drummers from SCPD The Fences have been erected this a.m hours before the protest. "This is merely the newest battle of a war in Santa Cruz. A war against dissent, against the poor, against the homeless, and now against people making music. We challenge these laws and the police crackdown on undesirables -- an effort to "clean up" the streets of Santa Cruz of the young, the very old, immigrants, the unemployed, homeless, the insane, and anyone who resists."
