POPSSpain Reeling On July 4, Zapatero said: “To be optimistic is something more than a rational act, it is a moral requirement, an act of decency and, if I may say so, elegance.” Imagine that quote from a Leftist.

POPSFuelist Democrats Amen! Amen! This Congress, whether Reps. or Dems. have brought us to this point. As a matter of fact, it's been avalanche-ing towards this point for over a decade. I hope people are as hoppin' mad as I am....and I don't drive no SUV.

POPSStand with Tibet - Support the Dalai Lama See site for petirtion... Having met the Dalai Lama when he visited Hawaii, I can attest to his aura of peace and support the Tibetan people. China is like the BORG--gobbling up whatever they thinks is under there communist wing....where they can get away with it.

POPSStand with Tibet - Support the Dalai Lama " China's economy is totally dependent on "Made in China" exports that we all buy, and the government is keen to make the Olympics in Beijing this summer a celebration of a new China, respected as a leading world power. China is also a very diverse country with a brutal past and has reason to be concerned about its stability -- some of Tibet's rioters killed innocent people. But President Hu must recognize that the greatest danger to Chinese stability and development comes from hardliners who advocate escalating repression, not from Tibetans who seek dialogue and reform.

POPSFirst images of avalanches on Mars I can't be sure but I'm sure I remember reading that all it took was a few grains of dust or sand to start the 'ball' rolling, and it caused a chain reaction, but you'd have to check with an avalanche expert.

POPSThe Press Soooooo Love McCain The media continue to cover the McCain presidential campaign of......2000. i have no idea how much more McCain has to reverse himself on before they realize that this man is not the same candidate that ran in 2000? Isn't his reversal on the torture bill enough for even a blind man to see clearly? I don't think in the end any of this will matter because McCain, in my opinion, is not going to be elected President of the United States. But a little realism, if not fairness, would be appreciated from our once outstanding media.

POPSGifts to Give Using Fab Fabric
One of my favorite blogs is Be*mused blog (link on clip). She puts fabrics together beautifully and shows wonderful pictures. This link to one of her old posts from a current post discussing Christmas gifts dovetails nicely with another fabric avalanche, this one involving DH. :( He was not bemused or amused. He was rooting around in my fabric closet (first mistake), which doubles as a place to store filing cabinets and Christmas gifts, when the pile of dots, conveniently, but precariously, piled right at the front of a bunch of fabric piles fell on his feet. He claims it covered his knees as well. Totally untrue, but I can see how he might think that. He told me to stop buying fabric. HA! Anyway, Be*mused makes an excellent point. Pillow cases are GREAT for gifts as well as using up conversationals. I have some great conversations that I doubt will ever make it into quilts. They are currently in the "back of the quilt" stack. Pillowcases for the nieces and nephews might be another
