POPSBlame The Teachers Again. When is somebody going to wake up and discover that it isn't teachers fault when students have parents (or parent) who don't really care how their son or daughter is doing in school. A teacher I know was shocked when one of her 3rd graders told her t"My daddies in prison" And I don't know about the rest of the country but here in So. Ca. students got 3 WEEKS OFF for winter (not Christmas. Politically incorrect) break. By the time they go back to school some of them will have forgotten where their classroom is. It's time to hold parents responsible and not just teachers.

POPSSwine flu vaccine plentiful now Counting my among the thousands (maybe millions) who had to wait until two weeks ago for my H1N1 shot, I figured that this news would follow. Even though, as a stem cell transplant patient two years ago, I found no way to fast-track plans to receive this vaccine because of the early shortages.

POPSConstitutional rights may not apply. Within 100 miles of the U.S. border...and I mean all around the country, the safeguards against search and seizure may not apply. In fact, should you be deemed a terrorist threat you may never see a lawyer or the light of day.!

POPSThe Coming Ice Age "Earth’s climate is controlled by the Sun. In comparison, every other factor is trivial. The coldest part of the Little Ice Age during the latter half of the seventeenth century was marked by the nearly complete absence of sunspots. And the Sun now appears to be entering a new period of quiescence. August of 2008 was the first month since the year 1913 that no sunspots were observed. As I write, the sun remains quiet. We are in a cooling trend."

POPS100 Billion Galaxies The new Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken the deepest image yet of the Universe in near-infrared light. The faintest and reddest objects in the image are likely the oldest galaxies ever identified, having formed between only 600–900 million years after the Big Bang. The image shows thousands of galaxies, some more than 12 billion years old. The field view of this image would fit behind a grain of sand held at arm's length against the sky. Almost every dot in this photo is an entire galaxy of stars and who knows what fascinating undiscovered mysteries.

POPSMcCain, Coburn Target 100 Stimulus Projects The duo, who have railed against “wasteful spending” in recent years, put out their “stimulus checkup” shortly before President Barack Obama made a speech at the Brookings Institution outlining new job-creation proposals. McCain, from Arizona, and Coburn, from Oklahoma, say the projects they’ve identified “raise questions about how stimulus money has been used so far.” The White House said it would look at the projects cited in the report but that it should be “taken with a grain of salt,” noting that Coburn’s earlier reports on stimulus spending have included errors. A spokesman for Coburn hit back, pointing out that the data used by the administration to estimate the impact of the stimulus hasn’t been perfect. “The stimulus office might want to revisit its job creation estimates before it lectures others about accuracy,” said John Hart.

POPSPresident Obama's Secret: Only 100 Al Qaeda Now in Afghanistan New York Times reported that "senior administration officials" were saying privately that Obama's national security team was now "arguing that the Taliban in Afghanistan do not pose a direct threat to the United States". So what's this surge really about, Mr Obama? Hmm? Apparently not Al Qaeda OR the Taliban. Could it be that the core issue is not "defending the American people" -- but establishing a stable U.S. domination over a broad and highly strategic swath reaching from Iran to Pakistan? More Empire-building, Sir? Just asking.... Obama Had Rejected His Own Speech's Surge Rationale

POPS The Sun Does a Flip Earth’s magnetic field also flips, but with less regularity. Consecutive reversals are spaced 5 thousand years to 50 million years apart. The last reversal happened 740,000 years ago. Some researchers think our planet is overdue for another one, but nobody knows exactly when the next reversal might occur..The Sun's magnetic poles will remain as they are now, with the north magnetic pole pointing through the Sun's southern hemisphere, until the year 2012 when they will reverse again. This transition happens, as far as we know, at the peak of every 11-year sunspot cycle -- like clockwork. Fear not 2012 !! It's a normal thing.

POPSYawn - Dinesh's Same Tired Dogma This guy never adds anything new to the conversation. The same tired arguments, over and over again. For those of you unfamiliar with this defender of the faith, he is a frequent columnist on the World Net Daily. The WND is notorious for such rational positions as backing the Birthers, Creationists, and Christian Nationalists. Dinesh's mainstays are straw men, claiming atheists are a dangerous "movement", and bashing liberals. One could compare him to Glenn Beck without a TV show.
