POPS"Good things take time". Wall Street is still "current", as is "Barbarians at the Gate" I feel both are well worth watching during this holiday break.

POPSBritain BC / Britain AD Episode 1 of 2 (BC) and 1 of 3 (AD). Fascinating new understandings of British culture, history, and archaeology. Rather than being solely the inheritors of Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Norman invaders, Pryor demonstrates that there was a sophisticated homegrown British culture that didn't just roll over when the next group of heavily-armed foreigners in boats showed up. And that in the absence of outside "civilizers" Britons didn't just revert to mud-wallowing barbarians.

POPSBOLTONLAND IT SAYS A LOT FOR A SOCIETY WHICH ALLOWS BOLTON AND OTHERS OF HIS ILK TO HAVE A NATIONAL PLATFORM AND REACH THE VERY TOP OF GOVERNMENT AND DIPLOMACY, INDEED THE PRESIDENCY ITSELF. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING INTRINSICALLY WRONG WITH IT. ONE ONLY NEEDS TO WATCH WITH INCREDULITY THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE DEATH OF A RATHER STRANGE ENTERTAINER, WHILST HUNDREDS ARE KILLED ALMOST DAILY BY THE ACTIONS OF THIS NATION AND ARE SCARCELY MENTIONED IN THE MEDIA. THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN "NEVERLAND", IT'S FANTASY LAND. IT RENDERS ME ALMOST SPEECHLESS. LET US HOPE THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THIS EMPIRE IS IMMINENT.

POPSOUTRAGE!!!! What has America really done in Iraq? We should set up a tribunal like Nuremberg and investigate the actions of these barbarians. The greatest and freest country in the world?, Zionazis and Americans, what an evil pair! The essence of evil!

POPSStop telling us we're too weak and immature to handle it More: Hey, Mr. President. Put these barbarians on trial and watch me. I'll be the guy out in front of the courtroom with a lawn chair, some sandwiches, and a cooler of fine beer. I'll be the guy who hires the brass band to serenade these criminal bastards on their way off to the big house. I'll be the one who shows up at every one of their probation hearings with a copy of the Constitution, the way crime victims show up at the parole board when their attacker comes up for release. I'll declare a national holiday -- Victory Over Torture Day -- and lead the parade right up whatever gated street it is that Cheney lives on these days. Trust me, Mr. President. I can take it.

POPSA Message to America:"LOOK! Let's be Clear!" You are nothing less than the light of the world, and the hope of all its people. So listen up now, America. The world needs you once again. Take a good hard look at yourself. And stand tall and be proud. You are quite simply the bravest, most noble, most generous, most high-minded and judicious nation the world has ever known. And we love you.

POPSLA Riots - 16 years on From someone who was actually there. And if you foolishly believe that the authorities will protect you, you are taking your family's life and putting it in the hands of the thugs.

POPSZardoz (1974) In the distant future Earth is divided into two camps, the barely civilized group and the overly civilized one with mental powers. A plague is attacking the second group after which it’s members cease to have any interest in life and become nearly catatonic. When Sean Connery one of the barbarians, crosses over, the tenuous balance in their world is threatened.

POPSPakistan: Four Children, One Adult Charged With ‘Blasphemy’ All it takes is a local boob CLAIMING you defamed the pedophile muhammad or insulted islam. That alone gets you your very own case number. This is “freedom” under the shackles of islam. And imbecile apologists in the West keep droning on about how islam is peace, and make excuses for the barbarians that commit these heinous acts on a daily basis. They refuse to admit, either out of cowardice, or collusion with the enemy, that islam offers nothing resembling the right to free speech guaranteed by the Bill Of Rights.

POPSReligion Of Peace Attacks Synagogue's In The United States . . . . by Dearbornistan Heights, Michigan Muslim Lola Elzein. The Jewish Federations and Jewish Community Relations Councils, of which Jay Tcath is a big part, constantly pander to these extremist Muslims and won't denounce them. They didn't do a damned thing about the death threats against me and continued to applaud the "moderate" Islamic community around us. In the 1940s, they'd have been doing the same with the German American Bund. In Detroit, David Gad-Harf a/k/a "Abu Gad-Harf" as head of the Jewish Community Council, now with a New Jersey Jewish Federation, worked with Muslims to make immigration laws more lenient toward Muslims. Now, we are reaping the rewards of that absurdity. Posted by Debbie at January 11, 2009 debbieschlussel.com

POPSThe weakening of Rome...similarities to the U.S. today This description of the years preceeding the fall of Rome reminds me a lot of the culture of the United States these days. The pride, hard work, humility and dedication of generation's past seems gone. We watch shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Biggest Loser, Dancing with the Stars and don't want to be bothered by real issues, real concerns, real challenges. We drive SUVs that eat up tremendous amounts of gas, despite knowing the political and environmental side effects of doing so. And our smartest go straight to wall street to manage hedge funds that get in and out of stocks with indifference...without any output or benefit to the world other than to squeeze money out of the system (more money that actually exists it turns out). I hope that we are somehow strong and honest enough to recognize the errors of our ways and get so that we can someday get back to better days.

POPSMcCain for President I love Krauthammer. You never have to wonder what he really believes. He places his feelings/emotions aside and views the plain facts that we face between our two choices for the Presidency. We can have a rookie at the helm which his own VP choice recognizes will make us vulnerable, a puppet manipulated by questionable (even unknown) puppeteers or a person with knowledge and experience of what is actually going on in the world?

POPSThe Russians Have Always Favored Overkill Vladimir Putin had ordered the assassination of Russian journalists and capitalists before Litvinenko, of course. But the Litvinenko murder defined him for the world -- or at least the sane and sensible fraction of the world --- just as Don Corleone in the Godfather ordered the decapitated horse's head to be placed in Jack Woltz' bedroom. Like the bloody horse head, Polonium poisoning signaled a public but deniable threat to Putin's enemies: Defy me, and I can use the rarest poison in the world to kill you anywhere I choose. And I will get away with it, because everybody else is cowed. Which is exactly what happened. Putin never paid a price, and in the manner of bullies everywhere, he was emboldened when the Brits failed to respond to Litvinenko's assassination in the middle of London. That is why Putin's invasion of the small, free, and democratic Republic of Georgia was predictable. Today the Russian threat to the Ukraine is just as obvious.

POPSCivilization's First Attack Ads - The Attack Poem Here's a poem he directed at a rival (all translations are from Brooks Haxton's book Dances for Flute and Thunder from Viking Press): Swept overboard, unconscious in the breakers, strangled with seaweed, may you wake up in a gelid surf, your teeth, already cracked into the shingle, now set rattling by the wind, while facedown, helpless as a poisoned cur, on all fours you puke brine reeking of dead fish. May those you meet, barbarians as ugly as their souls are hateful, treat you to the moldy wooden bread of slaves. And may you, with your split teeth sunk in that, smile, then, the way you did when speaking as my friend.

POPSShock & Awe: The Barbarians are at the Gate! In the grand scheme of REAL civilization what will be remembered? The looting of the oil or the the destruction of the remains of a glorious civilization? Who gave the order to protect the Oil Ministry while encouraging/allowing the destruction of priceless antiquities by mindless looters as US troops looked on with tacit approval and all live on TV. Barbarians and Vandals gave the orders. Real crimes against our humanity and all civilization. Well not in my name.

POPSSea Shepherd Announces Seal Defense Campaign 2008! “As a kid I remember these baby killers bragging how they would slice open the beating heart of the first baby seal they kill each spring,” said Captain Watson. “They drank the hot blood and smeared it cross upon their foreheads and dabbed blood on their cheeks. They called it the “Rites of Spring.” I called them barbarians then, and I call them barbarians still, and as a Canadian and a Maritimer, I have been ashamed of this bloody evil tradition all my life and I’ve dedicated my life to shutting this monstrous obscenity down forever, and I believe that soon we will see that day when the killing is ended.”

POPSI Got Friends I love it when my blog buddies send me cool stuff to share with everyone. Robert Rouse of Left of Centrist sent me a video today that I had to share with my other buddy Howie Klein of Down With Tyranny and FireDogLake's Blue America. Howie of course jumped right on it with the following post.

POPS The Battle Between Taquiya And Talk Radio
The odious Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group that could be the legal arm of al-Qaeda. Although CAIR’s machinations usually go unmentioned by the mainstream media, for quite some time now it has been training its sights on anyone who would tackle the Islamic threat with manly strength. It has carried out campaigns against National Review magazine radio personality Paul Harvey, the producers of the television program 24 and many others who dare say the sultan has no clothes And now it is targeting award-winning radio talk show host Michael Savage Liberal democrats: “ unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect.” – Senator Richard Durbin “We know has ties to terrorism . . . intimate links with Hamas.” – Senator Chuck Schumer “Time and again has shown itself to be nothing more than an apologist for groups bent on the destruction of Israel and Islamic domination over the West.” – Congressman Bill
