POPSCraving terrorist melodrama As for Armao's "point" about how Janet Napolitano probably took it easy because the "boss was away" -- and her belief that Terrorists will strike more on holidays if Obama isn't affixed to his chair in the Oval Office, as though he's the Supreme Airport Screener: those are so self-evidently dumb it's hard to believe they found their way even into something written by one of Fred Hiatt's editorial writers. What this actually illustrates is that many people are addicted to the excitement and fear of Terrorist melodramas. They crave some of that awesome 9/12 energy, where we overnight became The Greatest Generation and -- unified and resolute -- rose to the challenge of a Towering, Evil Enemy. Armao is angry and upset because the leader didn't oblige her need to re-create that high drama by flamboyantly flying back to Washington to create a tense storyline, pick up a bullhorn, stand on some rubble, and personally make her feel "safe."

POPS Marching Off To Surrender With all due respect to President Obama, has there ever been a lamer, feebler, dumber, or weaker call to arms than his December 1 “surge” speech? What must be going through the minds of those young American men and women who will soon be sent into harm’s at the behest of President Obama? Clearly, this president does not understand the importance of defeating Al-Quaeda and winning the war on terror, which he refuses to even acknowledge. It is nothing short of a scandal that 30,000 additional Americans will be sent into battle by a Commander-in-Chief who is more concerned with defeating Republicans than destroying the enemy! John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. Pray for John: He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where people like Nancy Pelosi are actually considered normal!. Obama's Speech Made Zo Rant. machosauceproduction http://bit.ly/8rnQAl

POPSIs the Internet melting our brains? I start with Plato's critique of writing where he says that if we depend on writing, we will lose the ability to remember things. Our memory will become weak. And he also criticizes writing because the written text is not interactive in the way spoken communication is. He also says that written words are essentially shadows of the things they represent. They're not the thing itself. Of course we remember all this because Plato wrote it down -- the ultimate irony. We hear a thousand objections of this sort throughout history: Thoreau objecting to the telegraph, because even though it speeds things up, people won't have anything to say to one another. Then we have Samuel Morse, who invents the telegraph, objecting to the telephone because nothing important is ever going to be done over the telephone because there's no way to preserve or record a phone conversation.

POPSICE: Wait, wait! Let me shoot myself in the other foot too! Sigh... We had a process that enabled children and parents to be reunited fairly quckly. Now to "protect" kids, we are going to lock them up for months before they can be returned to their parents. I guess Homeland Security cloned Dumb and Dumber many more times than we thought they did.

POPSWhen Mother Nature Strikes Back in Self-Defense - It's Not Easy or Pretty Why the strange header? Because producing transgenetic fish is even dumber than trying to screw things up on land. I suppose we do these dumb things for two reason - money and because we can. Neither of these reasons are very good and will do us more harm than not. Can you imagine the "Oops, we're sorry. We did not anticipate the results of a spill from our GM fish lab into the Atlantic Current. It seems that all fish have been infected with a newly formed virus and that it may take years for the ocean to produce new life on its own. And, well - we have no idea on what impact this will have on other forms of life on the planet, including us. But the Mechanical Engineering Soceity said they will study making mechanical fish to compliment their failed idea about artificial trees to reduce CO in the atmosphere.

POPSAfghan Nam Dumb-Dumber NATO Assassins I have ot check EU law but beginning with President Ford's Executive Order is has been official US policy to not use assassination. Now, forget just assassinating a Taliban leader along with his wife, some children and a few other civilians in Pakistan, we are going to put "drug lords" on hit lists. What's next? A hit-list deck of cards for people who don't pay parking tickets in Kabul? Mr. President, you may be busy with needed healthcare reform but WHO IS IN CHARGE of your AGHANISTAN POLICY - Chaney by proxie?

POPSUS Air Force on Drones: Dumb and Dumber Outdone! I think they hope that bombing without a direct threat to Air Force Service members will be more acceptable. Surprise! People in US do not like killing innocent civilians, assassinating others in violation of US Presidential Executive Orders, or being dumb about creating even more terrorists who will strike at us and our friends. We'd rather people have to think, twice, three times and over before killing as if they were playing a video game.

POPSCap and Trade must die must die in the Senate; thanks to House Republicans
We may now safely conclude that whomever leads in green technology will certainly trail the world in economic development. Especially when leading the way means we discard energy sources that are reliable and affordable. By doing so, we ensure less money in the pockets of individuals. Cap and trade will be an embedded tax in everything from the car we drive, to the A/C that keeps us cool, to the gas we use to operate vehicles, to the food we eat, to the very air we breathe. All industries that make things or produce things (including food) emit carbon. Therefore, everything is subject to this program, and the “little guy” pays for it all in the end. What do these politicians in the House of Representatives hope to achieve through this bill? Reduce emissions and save the planet we assume. Why then, are we emulating the European Union’s famed ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme), which actually saw emissions RISE by 1.9% from 2005 to 2008? Could it be that our politicians are not REALLY

POPSCap and Trade Bill Bringing Refinery Closures Of course, the elitists who voted for this monstrosity aren’t worried about any of this. After all, they’ll continue to ensure they take care of themselves, and mostly at taxpayer expense. We shouldn’t forget that, after all, some people in the New America are “more equal” than others. Few acts could rival the hostility toward the American people and American prosperity than this abomination of a bill passed by the House on Friday. We have come to the previously unimaginable point where it is abundantly clear that the American government is overtly hostile toward it’s own people. Thank God the American people are starting to wake up to this despicable reality, as evidenced by the Tea Party movement. We have our work cut out for us, in stopping the destructive work of these domestic enemies now, and permanently removing them from office in the upcoming rounds of elections.

POPSShe and Her Key Staff, They All Knew About It the CIA appeared content to let people talk about Bush-era tactics in academic terms, especially since the agency had dropped the procedures in question several years earlier. After the release of the OLC memos prompted talk of prosecutions, that all changed, and now Obama knows how Bush felt when the CIA decided to leak damaging information to the press.”

POPSHow About This Choice? Author Michael Daly recounted the scene: “Some jumped together, holding hands. Most leapt singly, often tumbling as they fell . . . most were on their backs as they reached the lower floors, facing the heavens if not necessarily heaven. Their last sight was of the perfect baby-blue sky as they struck the pavement with a velocity that instantly turned a living person into a bright red splatter. The sound was jarring, loud, a body becoming a bomb.”

POPS5 Myths About "Civic-Minded,Informed" Voters. If true, the media is doing a stellar job of convincing us of the massive intelligence and evolved mind of the new liberal. I mean you know it is still mostly elitist facade and there are so many under that sway. Along with the hypnotic, me-too popularity and you have a "movement" the media can mold, form, and sell. You know who buys it most? Those same people. The rest of us just need to remember how funny that is!
