POPSA Tale of Two Protection Rackets: ACORN’s — and The Media’s
This is the network that surreptitiously rigged GM pickup trucks in staged crash tests in 1993 to show that the vehicles were unsafe " and failed to inform viewers that the simulations used incendiary devices to ignite the explosions. This is the network that sent out an intrepid NBC News reporter in a canoe to cover treacherous New Jersey flooding in 2005 " only to be shown up by passers-by who sloshed in front of the camera and demonstrated that the water was only a few inches deep. This is the network that tried to arrange Islamophobia stings at NASCAR events in 2006 to try and “expose” racism among Southerners. The network worked with a Muslim activist who sent a recruitment notice across the Internet: They are looking for some Muslim male candidates for their show who would be willing to go to non-Muslim gatherings and see if they attract any discriminatory comments or actions while being filmed…NBC is willing to fly in someone and cover their weekend expenses.

POPSBay Area getaways with delightful surprises More: East Bay Lake Chabot Regional Park, Castro Valley…excellent bike trails, hiking, campgrounds for both tents and RVs…the surprise that will realign your brain gears is the giant bass. I've fished here in my canoe and had a kick catching small trout, bluegill, catfish and bass, depending on the time of the year, then looked down into the water and seen 10-pound bass swim right under us. Every once in awhile, someone catches one; the lake record is 17 pounds, 10 ounces, and biggest this year is a 12-pounder… Berkeley Marina… try walking to the end of the 3,000-foot Berkeley Pier. It provides a unique perspective on San Francisco Bay Black Diamond Regional Preserve, Antioch foothills… take the underground tour of a section of the old mines, where countless tons of coal and sand was excavated. The surprise comes on a 6-mile round trip to Jim's Place, where you can find a historic rock/cave dwelling and nearby 100-foot air shaft.

POPSCanoe Fire Whitewashing Unsavory After my post critical of the Canoe Fire, prompted by my interviews of officials when I was an editor, the federal government REMOVED the PDF report on the fire but left up the HTML and then said its Web server was down, despite the HTML being available and all other PDFs on that server being available. If my criticisms are so wrong, why remove the document?

POPSGov't Failure Kills Ancient Redwoods Don't buy the government's lies about the fire being good for the redwoods. This was a high-intensity destructive fire, and although the forest will recover, it will be nearly 2,000 years before the trees are fully "replaced," assuming climate change and/or other factors, like more fires, do not destroy the rest of the redwoods.

POPSThe Palin Phenomenon Well there you have it folks. I guess when you are very attractive, you smile a lot, you give hugs, you care for a disabled child, you're surrounded by thousands, your handbag doesn't cost as much as Michelle's, you're successful, you're a conservative female, you're a down to earth kinda girl, it only makes sense to hate her. I mean, look at all of that evil going on in those photos. In pictures: America's hottest governor struts her stuff http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Microgalleries/Sarah_Palin/?&pic=0 By the way, I know someone who is related to someone who is friends with someone who doesn’t like Palin. Shun?
