POPSCraving terrorist melodrama As for Armao's "point" about how Janet Napolitano probably took it easy because the "boss was away" -- and her belief that Terrorists will strike more on holidays if Obama isn't affixed to his chair in the Oval Office, as though he's the Supreme Airport Screener: those are so self-evidently dumb it's hard to believe they found their way even into something written by one of Fred Hiatt's editorial writers. What this actually illustrates is that many people are addicted to the excitement and fear of Terrorist melodramas. They crave some of that awesome 9/12 energy, where we overnight became The Greatest Generation and -- unified and resolute -- rose to the challenge of a Towering, Evil Enemy. Armao is angry and upset because the leader didn't oblige her need to re-create that high drama by flamboyantly flying back to Washington to create a tense storyline, pick up a bullhorn, stand on some rubble, and personally make her feel "safe."

POPSThe Economics of Coal Speaking of COP15 evidencing Coal over Climate, “it was one year ago,” records WaPo staff writer David A. Fahrenthold*, “an ‘earth-and-ash dam holding back 1 billion gallons of waterlogged coal ash’ in Kingston, Tennessee, failed, but ‘most of the fly ash on the land is still there’ and the Environmental Protection Agency is yet to regulate coal-ash ponds.”

POPSA review of the board game Mouse Trap this was funny to me. I guess because I'm a rambling writer myself. I'm buying this game for a friend this year. She's 45. I guess that's old enough? I wouldn't want her to choke on the little meeses.

POPSSmall Business Owners Lose in Credit Crunch But despite the taxpayer bailouts that have allowed the banks to stay afloat despite plunging the country into a banking crisis they are generally not lending, even though they are doing well again. For the most part, they still holding on to their capital.

POPS A Modest Proposal by Ken Blackwell
I have a modest proposal. There is one thing we could do that would make a small contribution to lowering temperatures: We could bury, not burn, the bodies of unborn children who have been aborted under Mr. Obama’s health care takeover. Currently, the practice is to incinerate the hundreds of thousands of bodies cruelly of those denied the right to life. If we really seek “common ground” on this contentious question, we might start by giving the unborn children a decent burial. Liberal writer Naomi Wolf has written movingly of the “baby furies” that she felt were pursuing her after her abortion. She noted that in Japan, there are touching ceremonies of little paper boats with candles floated down slow-moving rivers. These ceremonies are designed to help women cope with this most terrible of choices. Part of the terrible contentiousness of this question is the unwillingness of most liberals even to concede that the unborn child is a child. In 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court .....

POPSObama's Safe Schools Czar Tied to Lewd Readings for 7th Grade What took Fox so long to report this? I've been reading about this guy for over a week! Someone wants to comfort sexually confused children (mostly thanks to the current culture they are growing up in), fine...do it. Just leave the rest of the innocents alone whose hardest thing they're dealing with is remembering to bring in their homework. The very WORST is that this man has such oversight. Parents...guard your children.

POPSLoon Alert: Canadian writer thinks China's Infanicide is sound ENVIRO policy
Children are an inheritance from the Lord. They are a reward from him. The children born to a man when he is young are like arrows in the hand of a warrior. Blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them. He will not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the city gate. Psalms 127:3-5 (GW) The environmentalist movement is anti-human life as this article proves. For anyone to think that regulating a man's family by denying them the basic human right to reproduce is insane. To think that trees and lakes, and birds and bees take precedence over human life is appalling. And yet this idea of population control is growing more pervasive throughout the environmental movement. We see it's tentacles extended in our own country as congress debates their HEALTH CARE take-over legislation. The idea that there would be public policy implemented to curtail or control costs of providing health care to the sick based upon some arbitrary assessment as to life value is insane!

POPSSpirit Attachments I heard this show last night and thought it was amazing. Although it did not fit here the next paragraph of this letter mentions how e.t. entities can also attach themselves to people.

POPSA Liberal Vote for Climate Change First I don't know the writer's background but I would guess that it is journalism and not a technical or science related degree. The next thing I would say is FOLLOW THE MONEY. Government grants are given more for supporting the Easter Bunnie, oops, I mean Global Warming than they are for the Global Warming Skeptics.

POPSDefending Marriage "Marcotte's project is a political statement designed to call the bluff of the very group it's pretending to embrace: those seeking to protect marriage by limiting it to heterosexuals. The measure, of course, isn't meant to pass but rather to expose the hypocrisy of those who see gay marriage as a threat to their own unions. Never mind that the measure probably won't make the ballot even if it gets those 700,000 signatures and they're all valid; a lawsuit could easily keep it off the ballot. In the end, Marcotte wins either way. The Facebook page for the California Protection of Marriage Act has garnered more than 23,000 fans, and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann tipped his hat to Marcotte on a "Best Person in the World" segment last month."

POPSGeography of a Recession According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 31 million people currently unemployed -- that's including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession," as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the U.S. economy from January 2007 -- approximately one year before the start of the recession -- to the most recent unemployment data available today.

POPSLiving in the Bible Belt What may seem unconscionable to most Americans is the rule of thumb in the Bible Belt. Most people I meet every day most likely would agree that anyone who doesn't believe in God is not fit to hold public office. People simply do not think these non-believers stand on firm moral ground.

POPSTiger Woods Fart Caused Car Crash I opened up the car door and immediately knew what had happened. There was a rancid odour permeating from the vehicle, and it could only have been one of Tiger's choicest air biscuits." Mr Woods (Tiger) has today announced that he will not be able to appear at his very own tournament, the Chevron World Challenge, because he has an arsehole strain.
