POPSThe Opinuary Column: Freedom isn't Free (or Alive)
It fought its addiction to Crystal Meth (Cheaper Than Coke But Still Not Free) and Tobacco (the first carton for soldiers was Free, but after that, not so much) with grit and determination, which it had in buckets (buckets that were Free but had to be returned when it was done with them). In the weeks before its death, the Opinion was often observed meditating on a litany of uncomfortable realizations: it had discovered that its apartment wasn't Free, its bar tab wasn't Free, its groceries weren't Free and, having failed to appear in court on misdemeanor charges, it suffered the additonal ignominy of facing the fact that indeed, not even its DUI was Free ($250.00 just to post bail!). Its only words to the judge were these: "In the bastardized yet immortal phrasings of Kris Kristofferson: Freedom's just another word for something that isn't free..." Family of the deceased Opinion are asking that, in lieu of flowers (which aren't free) that each and every one of us do our part to d

POPSThe Faces of Meth Many of you have probably seen this. We here in Oregon certainly have. It is a little old now, but effects of this poison remain the same. I have been told by a Deputy, that new ones are to be added next year. If you have friends or relatives who think that this won't happen to them, PLEASE assure them that It CAN & WILL ! The one gal who had been doing it over 15 years has been living on borrowed time. Most Meth users have a life expectancy of 5 years.

POPSThe Montana Meth Project: "Not Even Once" To paraphrase a dear, departed one: "When it comes to adulterants, stick to the vegetables you can grow in your back yard. No powders. No needles. No pills. Nothing referred to on the streets by it's initials. Nothing used to tranquilize large 4-legged mammals. Steer towards things whose processing is not much more complicated than one might put into making a dessert, and away from the ones concocted in mad-ghetto-scientist labs that go 'splodey."

POPS War Vets and the People Who Play Them But isn’t that the joke here? For the last thirty years, Hollywood has perpetuated the myth of the troubled vet - egged on by the cacklers on the coasts, nearly all of whom have never met a war vet in their life. To them, every dude in a uniform is Timothy McVeigh. The real truth is that, nearly all military dudes are delightfully decent and even mundane - far saner than you and me - and without a doubt much more fun than Napolitano - a person, who, as Governor Rendell once pointed out, doesn’t get out much. She probably just rents “The Road to Guantanamo” repeatedly off Netflix, while thinking of new words to describe terror that won`t hurt anyone`s feelings. And that`s what gets me. Right now we have an administration that cares more about the feelings of those who want to kill us, than those who want to protect us. I mean, if Janet were around in the 1940`s, we`d probably all be speaking Austrian.

POPSSNL Parody Of Palin and Clinton: Michael Phelps Hosts "I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy," she said. "And I can see Russia from my house," Fey's Palin replied. Poehler continued, "I believe global warming is caused by man." "And I believe it's just God huggin' us closer," Fey responded. "What an amazing time we live in to think that just two years ago, I was a small-town mayor of America's crystal meth capital, and now I am just one heartbeat away from being the President of the United States," Fey chirped. "It just goes to show that anyone can be President - all you have to do is want it," Fey continued, prompting a cackle from Poehler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBFk9XC3YLs PHOTOS: WHICH CELEBS COULD PLAY PALIN? http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/galleries/which_celeb_could_play_palin/which_celeb_could_play_palin.html

POPSWoman wins lawsuit against drug dealer Seems to me a bit like suing McD's because your fat. Here's an idea .. You know.. teh drug is illigal for a reason. So instead of blaming your dealer, ans suing him because you were too fucking stupid to no do Meth, how about taking some responsibility... Now, don't get me wrong, the dealer deserves to be punished because, well, he's a drug dealer. But not this way. Its just too stupid. This is the kindof flagerant lawsuite you expect to see in the US, not Canada...

POPSWould you trust a tweaker with U.S. nuclear secrets? Seems a meth addict, employed as an archivist at Los Alamos, was permitted to take "thousands of pages of highly classified documents detailing the designs of U.S. nuclear weapons" back to her mobile home. Doesn't inspire confidence.
