POPSBill and Melinda Gates pledge 120 million to boost African, Indian farmers Oh noez. Corporate America, Bill Gates, is dropping 120 million to help Africa and India. So liberals, this must horrify you right? Because corporations are "evil" in your nightmares or did you confuse it with an episode of "Fringe". Moan for me libs. Moan about America and whine because Americans, Bill and Melinda Gates, just blew your mind. Where's that fatty Michael Moore-on anyway? Probably sitting in Krispy Kreme or Dominoes Pizza stuffing his fat face. I know this news isn't as important as the Christians eating fried chicken at the Baptist Church, but who could compete with a horror show like that. Waaaaahhhhhh corporations......waaaaahhhhhh Christians........wahhhhhhh Rush Limbaugh.......waaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Boohoo. Cry me a river.

POPSNo Money For Mich Historic State Fair: Millions for Muslims & Lefties
desperate economy"gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to left-wing and Muslim artists through arts grants, and that it gave far more to the anti-Israel, Muslim-dominated Arab American National Museum and the Muslim-run Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS). In 2008"the last year for which an annual report is available"ACCESS got $9.7 milllion in grants from the State of Michigan and the federal government (Bush’s HUD and State Dept. gave millions to ACCESS over the years), more than half its annual budget. 2009 levels are unlikely to be significantly lower. For 2009-2010, ACCESS got a grant of $60o,000 from the State of Michigan as a “learning center.” In 2009, ACCESS got $16,000 in art grants from the State. And that doesn’t count the gazillions it gets from Michigan for “job training” (teaching Islamic terrorists how to get Commercial Driver’s Licenses and HazMat hauling certificates"yes, ACCESS really did that), health programs, etc.

POPSThe Latest Faux Social Cause: Urban Farming I guess no one remembers truck farms, so a new term had to be invented to cover the couple of thousand folks "playing" farmer and "buying local." Want to buy local and support the reestablishment of truck farms around major US cities? Fine. 1. Plow under your suburban homestead and a few thousand just like it that took the place of farms from the 1950s to the 1980s and into the 90s and sell it at a loss for farmland. 2. Move into the city and give up one of your cars and one motor scooter. 3. Don't buy reasonably prices tomatoes, strawberries, melons in winter from Chile, Guatemala, Argentina. or cheap roses from Columbia. 4. Learn how to "can" tomatoes and fruits as your great-grandmother used to. What am I talking about? What are you talking about?

POPSCorporate Welfare End the corporate welfare, close up the loopholes, subsidies, and the offshore enabling, and it might be feasible to lower corporate taxes to between 15 and 25 percent, on the record. Not that most don't pay this percent now...

POPSECOCITY Builders An ecocity is a human settlement that enables its residents to live a good quality of life while using minimal natural resources. Its buildings make best use of sun, wind and rainfall to help supply the energy and water needs of occupants. Generally multistory to maximize the land available for greenspace. It is threaded with natural habitat corridors, to foster biodiversity and to give residents access to nature for recreation. Its food and other goods are sourced from within its borders or from nearby, in order to cut down on transport costs. The majority of its residents live within walking or cycling distance of their workplace, to minimise the need for motorised transport. Frequent public transport connects local centres for people who need to travel further. Local car sharing allows people to use a car only when needed.

POPS Moratorium On Water Tennessee Drought He has tried to fill the gaps with modest fundraisers, but it hasn't been easy. A Halloween carnival last week cleared about $375 and a dog show two weeks ago made $300. The town has received a $377,590 emergency grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that Reames hopes will be Orme's salvation. A utility crew is laying a 2 1/2-mile pipe to connect Orme to the Bridgeport, Ala., water supply. The work could be finished by Thanksgiving. "It's not a short-term solution," Reames says. "It is THE solution."
