POPSPraises to Obama
But Obama’s skin color has nothing to do with this. Does anyone interested in retaining their merit badge for intellectual honesty really want to argue that Condi Rice or J.C. Watts would’ve spawned a dozen-and-counting tribute videos? This is about brainwashing our children into Leftist identity politics. Sure, the schools can argue that they had some kind of parental permission — which, if true, is somehow even more disturbing — but who even considers doing something like this with young minds? That’s a rhetorical question. There was some guesswork, but to the best of our ability the videos run from oldest to youngest, starting with high schoolers. We list the name of the school and the date the video was posted. From there, if it could be found (or a confident guess made), you’ll find the schools’ website, followed by the original title given to the video and any notes added by whoever uploaded to YouTube. Each video has also been transcribed so you can follow the bouncing

POPSSurprise spectator at Garrido hearing More: Hall was a blackjack dealer in South Lake Tahoe when Garrido kidnapped her in November 1976 and drove her to a storage unit in Reno that he had stocked with pornography, sex devices and a mattress. He raped her repeatedly over the course of several hours. He was convicted of federal kidnapping charges and of rape in Nevada. Under sentencing guidelines now in place, Garrido would have been behind bars for more than two decades - and wouldn't have been free in 1991 when Dugard was snatched off the street in South Lake Tahoe. But under 1970s-era sentencing laws, Garrido was eligible for federal parole after just 10 years, and he was set free in 1988. "I intend to be at as many (hearings) as I can," Hall said. "I'm not going to shut up and go away like the parole board told me to do 21 years ago. I have my own personal reasons for wanting to see him put away."

POPS'Hello, this is Gilad' Addressing his parents and siblings, Gilad says: "I wish to send my well-wishes to my family and tell them that I love them and miss them greatly, and hope for the day I'll see them again. Dad, Yoel, and Hadas, do you remember the day you arrived at my base in the Golan Heights, on December 31, 2005? We toured around the base and you took a picture of me on a Merkava tank and on one of the old tanks at the entrance to the base. Later we went to a restaurant in one of the Druze villages and on the way we took pictures on the side of the road, against the backdrop of the snowy Hermon Mountain." "I want to tell you that I feel well in medical terms, and that the Mujahidin from the al-Qassam Brigades are treating me excellently. Thank you very much and goodbye," Gilad concludes. Gilad's parents, Noam and Aviva, watched the tape privately in their home earlier in the day, and later granted the Prime Minister's Office permission to publicize it.

From there, they were handed over to the Red Cross at 11:30 am, where they awaited the green light from Israel's envoy to Shalit talks Hagai Hadas' authorization before being released via Bitunia Checkpoint near Ramallah and Erez crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel and the Bitunia Checkpoint near Ramallah. At around 1 pm, Hadas is slated to take the tape to the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem, to present it to Netanyahu. A copy of the tape will be delivered to the Shalit family by helicopter. Brigadier General Avi Zamir, head of the army's Human Resources Branch, will present the video to the Shalit family at around 3 pm. The video may even be flown in a helicopter to the family so as not to expedite its arrival. The family requested to watch the video in private. Copies of the video will also be delivered to the defense minister, the IDF chief of staff and the Shin Bet chief. Who will see the tape? After watching the videotape, Jerusalem will have . .

Al Ahmed denied almost all of the charges. "I never went to Afghanistan, ever. You have to prove how you came to the conclusion that I am a member of the Taliban," he told a military commission. The government alleged that the home in which Ali Ahmed was residing was "run by a high-ranking al Qaida operative...Several of the individuals arrested in the March 2002 raid on the guesthouse in Faisalabad, Pakistan were identified as al Qaida associates who had received training in, or fought in, Afghanistan." In May, U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler found the government's case rather wanting and ordered Ahmed released. The fourth witness is believed to be Mohammed Al Qahtani -- believed to be a member of al-Qaeda who was planning on taking part in the 9/11 attacks -- though much of Kessler's ruling has been redacted. ** The Ireland deal has been in the works since at least March. On July 29, as we covered at the time, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs

POPSDirty war rages on Russia's doorstep There, they were bound with duct tape and placed inside a car that had been wired with explosives and doused in petrol. Their captors sprayed chloroform into their hoods and abruptly departed. The men, who have never been charged with any crime, were left waiting to be blown to bits. It is usual for the security forces to claim that terrorist bombers have inadvertently triggered their device before they were able to plant it. On this occasion, however, Butayev and his friend Islam Askerov, 21, were not rendered helpless by the chloroform. They freed themselves, removed the explosives and placed them in a nearby field. But they were unable to wake the rest of the group before the death squad returned. They fled, leaving Butayev’s 22-year-old brother Artur and the other two behind. Days later, the three men were found dead at another spot, their bodies charred. The survivors are still hiding.

POPSLife Without Bumblebees? It's Not Just Honeybees That Are Mysteriously Dying The decline of bumblebees has received far less attention, though in the public imagination their plight has often been conflated with that of the honeybee. Not only do bumblebees pollinate about 15 percent of our food crops (valued at $3 billion), they also occupy a critical role as native pollinators. Plant pollinator interactions can be so specific and thus the loss of even one species carries with it potentially severe ecological consequences. As E. O. Wilson writes, "If the last pollinator species adapted to a plant is erased … the plant will soon follow." The cause: "the rise of the commercial bumblebee rearing industry in the early 1990s, largely for greenhouse tomato pollination. Captive bees, they say, played a key role in spreading disease, which has led to the decline of several North American species, all of which belong to the same subgenus."

POPSHas Japan's Dolphin Slaughter Been Prevented?
Today, the dolphin slaughter was set to begin in Taiji, but the tides there may have changed. Here's a dispatch from O'Barry who has just returned to Japan for the start of the killing season: When I got off the bus at the Cove this afternoon, I was accompanied by my son Lincoln O'Barry's film crew, a crew from Associated Press, Der Spiegel (the largest magazine in Germany), and the London Independent. No dolphins and no dolphin killers. We would not have had a story at all, except for the police who were there, waiting all day for us to appear. Nine policemen came to talk to us... And as I was talking with the police, as the international journalists stood around listening, suddenly a camera crew arrived from Japan! And then another! And then still another! You have to understand that this is SO IMPORTANT. These TV stations have REFUSED to cover the story in Taiji for years and years. NOW, for the first time, they have shown up, with cameras rolling. T

POPSKidnapping Case: Investigators Search for Evidence on Series of Unsolved Murders
Dugard's stepfather Carl Probyn told FOX News' Geraldo Rivera that his daughter, now 29, is fragile and said he did not think she had tried to escape the backyard compound during her captivity. Probyn told FOX News that Jaycee is "an extremely good mother" and that his grandchildren were homeschooled by Garrido. He said the children, now 11 and 15, just found out that Jaycee was kidnapped. "They thought he was their dad. They didn't know Jaycee was kidnapped. She told them two days ago." Probyn says he's unsure if his daughter loved Garrido, but she "definitely was bonded to him after 18 years." Police in Pittsburg, a Bay Area city near where the Garridos lived, have said they are investigating whether Phillip Garrido may be linked to several unsolved murders of prostitutes in the 1990s. Antioch police are also looking into unsolved cases but declined further details. “We will take a close look at if there are any links to open cases,” Lee said,

POPSPawn Swapping In peril in Pyongyang? How jailed female journalists were in greater danger sharing a plane with Bill Clinton The story has all the ingredients of a Hollywood blockbuster. Two beautiful girls in peril, an evil North Korean dictator holding them captive and, riding to the rescue, Slick Willy himself, former President Bill Clinton. As journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee collapsed, sobbing tears of joy, into the arms of their relieved families after being pardoned from a sentence of 12 years’ hard labour in North Korea, their palpable relief was perhaps enhanced by the flood of lucrative film, book and interview offers that came pouring in. The pair had been arrested on the North Korea-China border last March, accused of illegal entry and spying. Then, last Wednesday, the silver-tongued Clinton burst back on to the global political scene by flying to the world’s most secretive state for what its regime described as ‘sincere and exhaustive discussions’

POPSRecovery of Gray Wolves Going Badly More: "Under the rule, any wolf that has killed three cows or calves in one year must be "removed" -- shot or placed in captivity indefinitely. Wolves killed 22 cows and calves in 2007, according to Fish and Wildlife. Policies such as these have created a revolving door that shuttles wolves from holding pens to the wild and back again, hampering adaptation, breeding and pack dynamics. Those results run counter to the intentions of a captive-breeding program, which ideally should leave wolves able to fend for themselves in the wild without human assistance."

POPSFriendly Helicpoter Shot Down
This clip actually comes from an article about the recently captured U.S. soldier in Afghanistan. A soldier described by our military as "walking off the base," as if he went AWOL. (& TV reports describe the military implying he left his weapon and body armor behind...maybe mentally unstable) -- ugh...! The propaganda about the recently shot down helicopter though, is striking. Because our captive soldier mentioned this event from last week we get to hear the Taliban version of events. The Taliban outrageously declare the helicopter was carrying troops. We (and I actually heard this version on TV news)...we claim the helicopter was carrying "civilians on a reported humanitarian mission." Gads! It's a cliche that the first casualty of war is the truth, now we get to see it. (We've been forced fed it the last 8 years). The helicopter was probably carrying mercenaries (CNN calls them "civilian contractors,") on an assassination mission in Pakistan...that's closer to t

POPSU.S. Military Insults it's Captive Soldier.
It's not in this clip but on Sunday News TV Pentagon reporters quoted military info implying this soldier had emotional or mental problems. Bad. Gross.Despicable. In this clip it's quoted this soldier "walked off base." Walked off base? The TV reporters today said he left his weapon, helmet and body vest behind...as if he was crazy or deserting! Bad. Gross. Despicable Of course, too, while it remains unresolved (except Obama stopped it), we tortured prisoners, waterboarded prisoners, beat prisoners to death in their cells, hung prisoners by handicuffs till they died, etc.....well, of course our military now complains about the treatment of this USA captive. Gross. Despicable. One big reason, of course, is the soldier put out an anti-war message: Bring the troops home. So...he must be crazy or disloyal. So...he must be being mistreated and forced to say these things (like a confession under torture, like we've done). It's not the Taliban killing our troops,
