POPSBUSH MOVES TOWARD MARTIAL LAW Please read the second paragraph. Detention Centers are being built for protesters, illegal aliens (yeah, right), "potential" terrorists, and "undesirables?" Does anyone have any proof of this other than this article? Because I REALLY just can't believe it. It sounds like an urban legend to me.

POPSI Watch Al Jazeera English....Do You? It is virtually impossible to subscribe to the new Al Jazeera in the U.S or Canada. Many people in these countries, when they hear the words Al Jazeera, they immediately think of an Arab news channel that takes the side of terrorists in their reporting, and support Osama Bin Laden. They believe it spews anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric 24/7. But I subscribe to it via Jump TV online, and it is absolutely nothing at all like that. Al Jazeera has some of the best electronic and newspaper journalists in the world working for them. Their production values are A+ and the news, although presented from a different perspective, is in no way anti-American or anti-Israel, and treats all reports in a reasonable even-handed manner. I urge people to go to www.jumptv.com and give Al Jazeera English a try. I think you will find your horizons expanding just a bit more.

POPSBush's Child Prostitutes, 1.2M as young as 13 Bush's invasion of a country that posed no threat to the US was illegal under both US and international law, according to legal experts. Bush has been convicted of war crimes by citizen tribunals around the world, including New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Istanbul. Just las week, the towns of Brattleboro and Marlboro Vermont voted to indict and arrest Bush and Cheney. In 2002 and 2003, Bush led a propaganda campaign to defraud Congress, the American people, and key allies into believing Iraq was a threat. Bush claimed Iraq had stockpiles of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons to use against the US, and was sharing them with Al Qaeda. Speaking near Rochester NY, Bush later admitted, "See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." ...AlterNet

POPSGood environmental news from America! Some good environmental news from America! It takes an act of Congress to add publicly owned land to the National Wilderness Preservation System, and the 109th Congress has acted to preserve over 1 million acres of wilderness.

POPSVermont Group Wants Cheney, Bush Charged With War Crimes But it's unclear whether the group can get the one thousand signatures necessary to get the measure on the Town Meeting Day agenda. State Attorney General William Sorrell says that even if passed, the measure would be of dubious legal value. Good story, though! :)

POPSSenator Leahy: Emails don't just disappear! Hmm...Leahy kind of makes a good point. These emails, which happened to be on a topic that is highly controversial, sent over a private email system that shouldn't have been being used, just totally disappeared. How about that?

POPSIf Not Now, When? "Could the rest of our nation deal with everyone in 10 major cities killed and every person in 12 states wounded, if 216,000 doctors had left the U.S. in the last three years, and just last year 3,000 doctors were kidnapped and 800 killed; with our roads, schools, and housing falling apart; with three times as many people out of work as during the Great Depression; with unknown horrors to come from depleted uranium?"

POPSAppalachian Trail: Maine to Georgia...Could It Be Extended? 
Benton MacKaye was convinced that the pace of urban and industrial life along the East Coast was harmful to people. He convened the first Appalachian Trail "conference" in Washington, D.C., in 1925. That gathering of hikers, foresters, and public officials embraced the goal of building the A.T. Currently, the A.T. goes from Maine to Georgia, but there is a movement to extend the A.T. to attach to the existing Alabama Pinhoti trail. Such a move would require an act of Congress: to change the wording of the National Trails System Act of 1968 to include Alabama. But --- it is not that easy when you take into consideration Georgia. An extension could siphon hikers and their tourist dollars away. I think that an extension would carry on Mackaye's original vision: He envisioned the A.T. as a path interspersed with planned wilderness communities where people could go to renew themselves. An extension into Alabama would only expand this wilderness escape and national treasure.

POPSMcCain Disqualified by Constitution, Birthplace McCain was not born in the U.S.. It would be stupid for the republicans to nominate a candidate that could be Constitutionally invalid or challenged. Funny though, while dissatisfied, the pundits are defending him. Why? Romney is still in the wings....unless maybe they do not want to win the White House. Seems like the "powers that be" are making certain that a Democrat will be next in the White House, to fool the people that "change" will take place. It was always Democrats who led the U.S. into World Wars, every time, while promising not to. The case of Goldwater in the article is not as strong as the argument against McCain, because Arizona was a US territory, and under governance. If you think about it, McCain is less qualified that an illegal immigrant's child who was brought across the border for its birth!

POPSClimate change blamed for fading foliage Trees need a cold temperature at the same time as the days shorted. The leaves fall off without without coloring,. The process that trees use to shed leaves, is a means of dealing with waste, and slowing production of chlorophyll, in preparation for winter. It is not clear if this will have long term effects
