POPS"We The People" Have The Ingenuity & The Resources WE HAVE THE POWER. Today, America is under assault from key oil producing states - some of which are radical regimes whose energy prices and policies are systematically undermining our economy, our national security, and the American way of life. We pay a hefty ransom - two billion dollars every day - to the likes of Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Venezuela, among other foreign powers. Americans are sick and tired of our broken energy policy. WE HAVE THE POWER highlights America's need to adopt our World War II mentality of "Do it all, Do it now" by tapping into all of our abundant energy resources . We owe it to future generations to explore the vast amount of oil and gas in the Outer Continental Shelf, Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), as well as our other vital energy resources including Hydroelectric Power, Wind Power, Oil Shale, Natural Gas, Gas Hydrates, Hydrogen, BioFuels, Solar Power, Clean Coal and Nuclear Power.

POPSLiberate Sarah (lol) Step Two involves Jeremiah Wright. he fact is the only Democrats to win the presidency in the past 40 years -- Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton -- distanced themselves from liberal orthodoxy. Obama is, by contrast, a garden-variety liberal. He also has radical associates in his past. The most famous of these is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.... Brilliant. In the midst of a Wall Street crisis, and with McCain getting hammered for ignoring the middle class, Kristol wants McCain to talk about the former pastorat Obama's former church. Yeah, that will win voters over. If Democrats are very lucky, McCain will take Kristol's advice.

POPSArtificial blood substitute boosts heart attack risk & increases death rate Further reasons why I'm dubious about any attempts to replace our originally-installed equipment with something "better". Artificial joints, isolated-refined-standardized vitamins and other supplements, routine post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy... the more experience we get with them, the more problems we find.

POPSLexicographical Longing in the Dictionary of Sailors’ Slang.) Before the cooling in the ’90s of America’s passion for colossal encyclopedia sets (bought from door-to-door salesmen), and well before the advent of massless Wikipedia.org and Dictionary.com, the navy blue compact O.E.D. was part of the standard décor of a bookish middle-class life. I was overjoyed to have one of my own. Furthermore, my other totemic college books — “Speculum of the Other Woman,” “Reading Black, Reading Feminist” and “Sexuality in the Field of Vision” — could go out of style, maybe; the O.E.D. was forever. Wasn’t it? No.

POPS America's Veterans Honored They are lined up like footnotes to the names etched on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial's polished black granite, leaning against its base, some a collective tribute to the fallen, others bearing a message for just one of the dead. An American Legion uniform cap from Kansas, a police patch from a town in Georgia, a note to "GRAMDADAD" that appears to have been written by the unpracticed hand of a young child. A homemade plaque with plastic red poppies pasted to it, dedicated to a "Band of Brothers." Poems from middle school students. Since the memorial was completed in 1982, it has become a de facto shrine with more than 100,000 offerings for the dead and messages from survivors left by the millions who visit it each year. That number is likely to grow in the coming days. National Park Service officials say milestones like Veterans Day this Sunday and the memorial's 25th anniversary on Tuesday inevitably lead to floods of new items at the wall.

POPSDrink your Milk! Ah, that's the reason milk is so expensive. We quit drinking it. One milk distributor told our community that it's being dumped on the ground. The shelf life is intentionally reduced, by the processing/heat/pasteurization. If one buys totally organic milk, the shelf life is MUCH greater. Compare in the stores for yourself.

POPSMy Comment on the Web 2.0 Toolbar I noticed this new tool a little while about it and posted about it on my blog. It was really cool this morning to see a ping back from Web20toolbar.com and this shout out to my post. This is a cool new tool and I appreciated the time the Web 2.0 Toolbar team took to find and link to my post. It's impressive to see more thoughtful and engaged teams like the Clipmarks team who go beyond simply monitoring uber-blogs like TechCrunch and take the time to listen to the entire community discussing their work.

POPSAmerican Shelf Life in the Blog Shares Fantasy Blog Stock Market?! I just discovered that my blog was posted in the B.S Fantasy Blog Stock Market and with a valuation of 1,000 and share price of $44, it looks like my stock is up! I really don't know anything about this site yet (or how my blog had its initial virtual IPO) but this is really interesting.
