POPSLet America Be America Again
I am the young man, full of strength and hope, Tangled in that ancient endless chain Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land! Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need! Of work the men! Of take the pay! Of owning everything for one's own greed! I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil. I am the worker sold to the machine. I am the Negro, servant to you all. I am the people, humble, hungry, mean-- Hungry yet today despite the dream. Beaten yet today--O, Pioneers! I am the man who never got ahead, The poorest worker bartered through the years. Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream In the Old World while still a serf of kings, Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true, That even yet its mighty daring sings In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned That's made America the land it has become. O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas In search of what I meant to be my home-- For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore, And Poland's p

POPSIf you have kids this is great ! YouTube for kids I don't have a good history with YouTube sites for kids. My first experience was with TotLOL, where I found the selection of videos lacking and had my wits nearly destroyed by that green gummi bear video.

"The children will never forget George's sacrifice and PDSA is proud to honour this exceptionally brave dog." The PDSA Gold Medal is the highest honour for outstanding animal bravery and exceptional dedication.

POPSA Tale of Two Johns We? Out of the 92-6 vote, two senators were not present. One of them was Ted Kennedy, who is home recovering from brain surgery. The other was John McCain. Even John Cornyn was faux-brave enough to vote "yea" after his defiance was stomped out of Congress like a flaming bag of dog shit. Time and time again, John McCain has been a detriment to troops and veterans, not only for his disastrous plans for Iraq but for the curtailing of benefits soldiers receive when they come home. His loyalty no longer resides with fellow veterans but to slick D.C. politics. I know you're not reading this, Senator McCain, but we'll be watching for more of the same.

POPSIs Nintendo a snake oil salesman? It's true. Games like Wii Fit and Brain Age play to your mental and physical insecurities, but there's no real proof that they actually improve either. From experience, Wii Fit is more motivational tool than workout machine: http://is.gd/Bo3 EDIT: I should emphasize that this is clipped from an opinion piece, so it's not definitively declaring Nintendo's products bogus.

POPSdon't mess with porcupines :~( A Pit bull decided he would battle a Porcupine in back of his house here in Southern California .. But being both brave and stupid, he ultimately learned the hard way that he can't always win, no matter how tough you are... A vet sedated the dog, and then removed a total of 1,347 quills. The dog survived, and hopefully learned a valuable lesson.

POPSJack Russell Terrier saves kids from Pitbulls All one ever hears is how pitbulls attack. This is more reason that a special license and special requirements need to be mandated for anyone that wants to own one. These dogs are nothing but killers and should not even be permitted as domestic animals.
