POPSOn Afghanistan, from Blackfive’s Deebow You dishonor the memories of the fallen and disrespect the families of those who continue to fight on by your continued excuse-making and endless consultation that serves no other purpose than to appear as if you are doing something, while searching in vain for what you perceive to be a better answer. Mr. President, deciding to do nothing is still a decision. I demand, decency demands, Americans who believe in victory demand, and most importantly, the American families with family members in the fight, who certainly have the most invested and unquestionably the most to lose demand that the politics, excuse making and dithering end and that you give the necessary support to the men and women who are bearing the battle and taking the fight to our enemies. I am not asking, I am telling you to listen to those with the knowledge and skills that can turn the tide of this rapidly resurgent enemy we face and to give them the resources they ask for.

POPSRio de Janeiro Train set ablaze after delays A new Olympic game? A bit of the original Roman games, maybe? Seriously though, the temperament and impatient disrespect that bears out this type of behavior is wide spread world wide. More and more often we see entire groups of people reacting this way. A Peaceful Solution Character Education would do us all well in turning this tide. http://www.peacefulsolution.org

POPSpoem: "wishful thinking" or "what i'm waiting to find in our email boxes" by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
Too long to clip – click through for the rest. More: 9. people are interested in what you are wearing simply because it tells them what paintings to make. 10. everyone has always told you you can stay a child until you are ready to move on 11. if you run across the street naked at midnight no one will think you are asking for anything. 12. you do so many things because it feels good to move. you have nothing to prove to anyone. 13. white people cannot harm you. they do not want to. they do not do it by accident. 14. your smile makes people glad to be alive 15. your body is not a symbol of anything 16. everyone respects your work and makes sure you are safe while doing it 17. at any moment you might relive the joy of being embraced 18. no one will lie to you, scream at you or demand anything. 19. when you change your mind, people will remember to change theirs. 20. your children are safe no one will use them against you.

POPSStart seeing micro-inequities More: A micro-inequity can be very micro. It can involve an action or words or even a tone of voice or a gesture. The inequity can be a deliberate attempt to harm someone or it can be unintentional, rooted in a person's perceptions about others. Whatever the source and however minor each separate event, over the years the cumulative effect of these little incidents, words, and gestures on an individual and on various segments of society (academia, business, even within families) is not so micro. There is a complete spectrum between the mini-incidents and the big unambiguous ones that most people would agree are sexist or racist. Clearly we need to eradicate the big unambiguous examples of discrimination, but are some (most?) people willing to accept micro-inequities because the incidents are, in many cases, so ambiguous? Where do you draw the line between deciding that someone is oversensitive vs. the target of habitual disrespect?

POPSRidiculous and False Article: Francis Scott Key Emerges from Grave, Demands His Poem Back
It is so absurd to write that Francis Scott Key would advocate for President Barack Hussein Obama and be chummy with Karl Marx. Key was a member of The Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color (a.k.a The American Colonization Society). Their goal was to emigrate all free blacks to Africa (see Liberia). The membership included Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster, and Stephen Douglas. Supreme Court Justice Bushrod Washington (nephew of George), was elected as its president. The most distinguished members of ACS were all slaveholders. The ACS raised funds and purchased the Elizabeth which sailed to West Africa in 1820. As a slaveholder, aristocrat and member of the exclusive club, Wealthy White Male Property Owners, Key would probably smack Karl Marx with a copy of the Wall Street Journal for uttering, workers of the word unite . Key was an Evangelical Episcopalian and as such, he'd burn Marx at the stake for his views on religion.

POPSHow The Repeal Of All Gun Laws Will Free America.- A Constitutional view
"Gun laws - more than 20,000 of them - serve officials by unwinding natural values and rights of armed defence of the person and permit massive transfers of our wealth to others little by little. How gun control is related to modern crises is in how experiments and trials tested and proven on gun bans, restrictions and regulations give valuable feedback to social engineers as to how far they can go against the electorate. It's not enough to say that citizens must be disarmed first before any tyranny, it is more: it is a feature-rich test which surrenders up valuable information. " "How many have to die before the sleeping giant has his coffee and make the connection of gun control to dependency on our servants? Repeal all gun laws as the beginning of getting out from under bigger government and away from dependency on our very own public servants."

POPSSmartRemarks: "Buttocks or Bullets?" In 2004 six men were arrested for stripping down to their thongs and mooning President Bush, mirroring the infamous Abu Ghraib human pyramid photo. They were cuffed and arrested. And the right wing was OUTRAGED and the disrespect shown to the president. What are we to make of the armed "patriots" showing up to town halls where the President is speaking, holding signs calling for the "Tree of Liberty" to be washing " with the blood of patriots and tyrants ? What message are they sending? One John Wilkes Boothe (Lincoln's assassin) and John Hinckley (Reagan's would-be assassin) would understand loud & clear. The right wing loses an election, and out come the guns and threats and cries of "oppression!" This should be no surprise. They've been shooting and bombing abortion doctors for decades. I'm watching for shrines to St. Timothy of Oklahoma to show up.

POPSWhat's the Hurry on Health Care? My apologies to wonderful car salesmen...I mean you no disrespect. But these guys in D.C. are disrespecting you. And us. Foisting on us the biggest lemon in history, and insisting that if we sign fast, we won't even notice. Again, take it from a guy who's been rushed and made to look stupid: Sharks don't let you wait. They attack. And attack fast. And we're all easy bait. But I hope not stupid bait. Because we must be seeing the warning signs. And enough of us must be asking the right questions. Because, the more the signs, the more the questions, the more they say, calm down, all is good, just sign here. Which has me saying, hey, stick this whole thing...here. Didn't we just do this? Last fall? When Hank Paulson said just sign-sign-sign this rescue deal? And it wasn't such a deal? Have we forgotten the quick bailouts that themselves needed bailing out? Have we learned nothing from rushing space launches when we shouldn't have?

POPSLiars Unite in Support of Dictators Worldwide Once again our fearless leader has chosen to align himself with a dictatorial tyrant. Apparently there is not a Constitution Obama likes. He has no regard for our own constitution and has shown a total disrespect for the Constitution of Honduras. The rule of law is not high on Obama's list of disciplines. He much rather support anarchists and lawlessness. Or perhaps he sees a similar fate awaiting himself in the not too distant future. Perhaps it is time we start to consider impeachment proceedings for high crimes and misdemeanors?

POPSFacedown Burials Widely Used to Humiliate the Dead Arcini searched existing literature to make the first ever catalog of facedown burials from around the world. She found descriptions of more than 600 bodies from 215 grave sites, from Peru to South Korea. Dating from 26,000 years ago all the way up to World War I, these so-called prone burials include men, women, and children, though the majority were men. Facedown burials occurred in all sorts of graves, including single graves, double graves, and mass graves.

POPSBroon fails nation again
So finally there is to be an inquiry into the execution and reconstruction involved in the war on Iraq. It is to be overseen by a former senior Northern Ireland civil servant who knows a thing or two about secrecy - Sir John Chilcot - who also sat on the Butler Committee which investigated the intelligence on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It is to hear evidence in private and will not have the power of legal subpoena - specifically the legal power to require people to attend or divulge documents. That last fact seems to be the central criticism of the way the inquiry has been set up, coupled with the secrecy. But the people supervising the inquiry, whilst lacking a certain amount of diversity, have been largely welcomed. Gary Gibbon will be reporting on Mr Brown's announcement. Acton's speak louder than words. By holding this inquiry in private shows the disrespect that politicians have for the ordinary Brit who are the backbone of the British dying nation. If this is what b

POPSWhat Hinders YOUR Obama-adulation? We witness the dying-off of Mr.&Mrs. John Citizen. Tradition. Values. Those people in that ranch-style home on the suburban lane; the family in that bungalow and their thousands of neighbors in every corner of the city; or those farms and scattered homes out on the road to the next town; in the many homes and apartments, most believed in what made America strong and free and in sustaining that for a lasting America. They were Democrats and they were Republicans. That was not the main issue. It was the body of America vs. people with subversive notions, Communist sympathizers, or any other loony or dangerous ideas. Differences were to be discussed and decided, and then all came together to face down those that would undermine us. Not any more.

POPSThe Howls Of A Fading Species
"Are we supposed to not notice that these are the tribunes of a party that rose to power on the filthy waves of racial demagoguery. I don’t remember hearing their voices or the voices of their intellectual heroes when the Republican Party, as part of its Southern strategy, aggressively courted the bigots who fled the Democratic Party because the Democrats had become insufficiently hostile to blacks. Where were the howls of outrage at this strategy that was articulated by Lee Atwater as follows: “By 1968, you can’t say ‘nigger’ — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff.” Never a peep did you hear. Where were the right-wing protests when Ronald Reagan went out of his way to kick off his general election campaign in 1980 with a salute to states’ rights in, of all places, Philadelphia, Miss., not far from the site where three young civil rights workers had been snatched and murdered by real-life, rabid, blood-thirsty racists?"

POPS Why Pelosi Must Go But Pelosi is expendable. The job of a Democratic Speaker is to pass the program of the Democratic president. Her ability and track record is measured on a scale of effectiveness. If she is ineffective, she's not up to the job. There is no way that Nancy Pelosi can be effective while she is engaged in a war of words with the Democratic head of the CIA. House members have a shark's instinct for blood in the water and know full well that satisfying Pelosi is likely to be an unrewarding occupation. With House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) waiting in the wings, few congressmen would be willing to treat the IOUs from Pelosi they get for casting difficult votes as worth much more than Confederate currency. Her (Pelosi's) political antecedents come from the McGovern wing of the party. She is a leftist/reformer. An insurgent. But Hoyer is a regular Democrat. Representing a district in the D.C. suburbs of Maryland, he is almost a civil servant himself. He is no radical.

POPSOFF WITH HIS HEAD--PHIL GRAMM IS A GREEDY CRIMINAL Is it conceivable that this “knowing crime,” so widespread within the UBS enterprise, was unknown to Vice Chairman Gramm—even though it primarily involved U.S. tax evasion, and he had been hired by the company because of his expertise in American law, some of which he helped to write? As Gramm said when he was hired in 2002 by UBS, the position “will provide me with the opportunity to practice what I have always preached. I have been involved in every major financial debate since I’ve been in the Congress.” Phil Gramm lost his position as the co-chairman of John McCain’s presidential campaign when he blamed the recession not on the banking deregulation he championed but rather the people of the United States, which he described as a “nation of whiners.” But that was a sideshow compared with the serious charges now swirling around UBS, charges that may finally prove to be Gramm’s undoing.

POPSCome on, you know what he meant! All the bruhaha around Obama's special olypmics comment is ridiculous. You know he didn't mean to disrespect them and you know he didn't mean it the way it came out. It was a mistake and shouldn't have been said, but come on. Palin's comment that she hopes it does "not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community" is a cheap shot and stupid. She's knows damn well that's not the case and to suggest otherwise about the president of the united states is shameful.
