POPSBusting the Surge Myth Cont.... The Shiitization of Baghdad was thus a significant cause of falling casualty rates. But it is another war waiting to happen, when the Sunnis come back to find Shiite militiamen in their living rooms.

POPSSpying On America- Police Survailance 60ties Style Not since Richard Nixon and the Anti War Movement were Americans spied on like this. Actually, it has gotten more sophisticated, widespread and more incriminating for the current government. Decent and critical opinions, have once more become synonymous with Anti-Patriotism, drugs and now: Terrorism. This must be the revenge for the sixties from those who were stopped then and now are lashing out with a vengeance.

POPSThe Twelve Apostles and Bloody Sunday (original) Like America, we had out War of Independence followed by a bloody Civil War on the issue of independence. This was also in common with many other states that gained independence. We didn't gain full independence until 1948 when we took it without a shot being fired. We did lose 6 of our 9 counties of Ulster, our northern providence. Hopefully some day our "four green fields" will be reunited peacefully. By Bush&Co's definition all our leaders would have been terrorists like Nelson Mandela , just like your own revered insurrectionists/freedom fighters/terrorists/founding fathers. Our longest serving PM and president de Valera would have been executed along with the 1916 Rising leaders only he was born in America.

POPS$10,000.00 Bill I want one. Yes - that’s a real $10,000 banknote - the largest denomination Federal Reserve Notes ever printed. They were printed up to 1945 and were issued until 1969. They are still legal tender today, however, these notes are mostly in the hands of private collectors. 4 more go 2 site.

POPSFacts matter The Iraqis most enthusiastic about Obama’s plan surely are al-Qaeda members, Sadrists, Iranian agents and sectarian killers of every stripe. The prospect of an American president suddenly letting up on them has to be the best cause for hope they’ve had in months. Obama’s withdrawal would immediately embolden every malign actor in Iraq, and increase their sway in Iraqi politics. In his oped, Obama sticks to the badly dated contention that Iraqis “have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge.” In fact, roughly 15 of 18 political benchmarks have been met by the Iraqis — progress Obama threatens to reverse.

POPSGipsy Kings But they began playing rumba flamenca because "we liked to watch pretty girls dance," said Nicolas. Latin American beats had been joined with flamenco by gitanos since at least the 1950s, mixing complex strumming with rhythmic, percussive tapping on their guitars' tops. The new Reyes generation — soon to meet and join up with three guitar-playing brothers from the Baliardo family — began creating more pop-oriented songs. They played at roma parties and at street corners until they got their chance to record under the group's new name, Gipsy Kings. Sharp-eyed individuals might have noted that all the left-handed members of the group play guitars strung upside-down; this is usually as a result of the individuals' not having their own guitars when growing-up. Borrowing and playing a right-hander's the wrong way up was the only way to learn.

POPSOne Million Names on Terrorist Watch List Do they really think there are 1,000,000 terrorists in the US? How absurd does this whole police state thing have to get before we're all either up in arms or laughing at how ridiculous it all is?

POPSPZ Myers and Weekend Religionists This short 34 second clip made me imagine future church goers more as civil war reenactors. They are mildly entertaining to watch but you wouldn't base your whole life on their hobby.

POPSBoody Shirt an Icon of our Times It has been suggested that Batebi should meet with President Bush. Perhaps, that would give enough PR to the Admin to keep justiying an immoral war..."see, they are being persecuted over there, and they come to us for Freedom". It has also been posted in several reports that Batebi was sentenced to death for his "civil unrest". This report says 10 years. Either way, I personally am glad he got out and is free. All men have the right to be free and not to suffer. We just save save them all right now. It would be so great if everyone would just refuse to fight. All sides. Refuse to fight. But then that would leave the terrorists who will not refuse to fight...for their religion. Seems like the way to real peace, freedom and abolition of suffering is not to stop wars, but to stop religion.

POPSU.S. Charity Teaches Third World Women Marketable Craft "It was important to figure out if they could crochet," Crecelius said. "We found out that they could. They were actually very skilled with their hands and almost everyone picked it up quickly. The first day, the woman I was crocheting with - Alice - made, like, a flawless hat. And by the third day, the majority were making almost flawless hats, so that was pretty cool. We knew that our program worked."

POPSSenate Approves Telecom Immunity & Spy Bill Proof the democrats (e.g. Obama) are not safer than the neocon controlled republicans: 4th Amendment trampled, violators now immune. This is not "compromise", but capitulation.

POPSDifference in Aims When people say ( usually Leftists) that Nazism or Fascism are right wing, what they mean is that they are right of Stalin. Progressive-ism and Materialism by any other name is still progressive-ism and materialism.

POPSGen. David Petraeus beats megastar Angeline Jolie.... People in the *real* world know who is truly important. No disrespect to Ms. Jolie, but her influence is minimal when it comes to life & death issues. This is also true of Crews, Baldwin, Franken, Hayden, etc..... Celebrities are useless when it comes to getting things accomplished. Nice article that gives credit where credit is due.

POPSIs Labour buying silence? After politicising the Civil Service, this corrupt government is now financially rewarding betrayal. Betrayal of an ethos that meant the British CS was the least corrupt in the World. Who can say that this is earned when there are over 3million pensioners still not receiving their rightful benefits, when English men are being suborned into third class citizens in their own country with threats of insidious new laws that prohibit love of ones own country, where these same civil servants act as judge and jury into claims for disability from injured war heroes, these same people who have denied access to personal records that prevent thousands of former soldiers getting a real pensions. Also these same people acquiesce with corrupt political regimes in the hiding of expenses abuses.
