POPSIndian Battlefield Tactics At the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Sioux and Cheyenne war chiefs used a variety of methods to command their men. John Siverston noted the Indians' use of eagle horns: "We could not see the Indians, but they were signaling all the time to each other with their little bone whistles." The Indians used other audible signals as well. Charles DeRudio recalled, "we heard the powerful voice of a savage crying out, making the same sound four times, and after these two signals, we saw 200 or more savages leave the bluffs and ford the river, evidently leaving the ground."

POPSThere is A Blizzard in Hell Tonight! Dems Vote To Ban ACORN Funds!
Gregg did not surprise me. Hutchinson thinks she can be governor of Texas with missing such a big vote? Old unreliable McCain is sitting this vote out too. Michelle Malkin details McCain’s ACORN coziness Vitter is in LA and that is ACORN country so no surprise here either. I lope Louisiana doesn’t lift a finger to send Vitter back to the Senate! From Michelle Malkin's blog: 5:42pm Eastern. Roll call vote still underway.

POPSPolitics of the Plate Prices paid to farmers per hundredweight (about 12 gallons) have fallen from nearly $20 a year ago to less than $11 in June. It costs a farmer about $18 to produce a hundredweight of milk. In Vermont that translates to a loss of $100 per cow per month. So far this year, 33 farms have ceased operation in this one tiny state. Meanwhile, the price you and I pay for milk in the grocery store has stayed about the same. Someone is clearly pocketing the difference. Perhaps that explains why profits at Dean Foods—the nation’s largest processor and shipper of dairy products, with more than 50 regional brands—have skyrocketed to more than double the same time last year. We are losing our heritage farms and in the process we are losing a large part of the character of what it means to be a self-sufficient and independent American. Corporate farming and govt subsidies are the biggest causes in this loss and NAFTA and the spread of GMO food products are the driving forces.

POPSInheriting $4.8 Trillion Will Leave You Broke
The issue of inheritance is a bit muddy. President George W. Bush and the Republicans controlled all of the branches of government until the 2006 midterm elections. In 2007, the Democrats began their reign in both the House and the Senate. Policies adopted prior to 2007 could reasonably be dubbed an inheritance. Policies that changed thereafter could not. There is an easy way, therefore, to establish how much of the current budget mess is accurately referred to as an inheritance. Just as Nancy Pelosi was taking over as House Speaker, the Congressional Budget Office made a long-run budget forecast. That forecast established the Democrats’ inheritance. If we compare the current outlook to that one, then we can identify the impact of Democratic policies, and accurately assess the blame. While doing so, we need to remember that Bush shares in that blame, since he signed into law the bills passed by the Democratic Congress. To be fair, it is important to note that a big part of

POPSTogo and Balto, Dog Heros of the “Great Race of Mercy”
Serum was located in Seattle and flown to Anchorage, then shipped to Nenana, but that was as far as it could go. A relay of dog teams was the answer. It took 5 1/2 days — 127 1/2 hours and 674 miles to get the needed serum to Nome. This was a trip that normally takes 3 weeks. Even though there were 20 musher teams and over 100 dogs, two dogs standout in name and fame, Balto and Togo . Balto was the lead dog of the final relay team with Gunnar Kaasen as musher. Balto was a young dog, and not a speedy racer. If Kaasen had known the storm and blizzard was so bad, he would not have chosen Balto as lead dog. There was such storms, creating new snow, and winds, creating white outs. It was often hard to see the dogs or your hands. Temperatures were often 50 degrees below zero. Balto and Kaasen and the team of dogs arrived February 1, at Safety Shelter, 21 miles from Nome, but the next driver, was sleeping, thinking Kaasen was being held up by the storm.

POPSClipped for Cluelessness News Flash: Obama is not the slightest bit Leftist. He is Centrist, with bursts of Right-Wingedness; in fact, the mass of the Democratic Party is Right Wing. They're just the Moderate Right Wing, while the Republicans are the lunatic fringe of the Right Wing. The day the US actually does something Leftist, then a certain place famous for its fiery pits will be getting a blizzard.
