POPS¡Ah las libertades democráticas y los tontos que creen en ellas! Cuando en Venezuela se cierra un medio, no importa las razones, se desata una campaña mundial de denuncia, acusaciones y amenazas de golpes de estado e invasiones. Ahora que un medio opositor de hecho esta siendo cerrado en Colombia todo se reduce a un lamento. La diferencia entre lo de Venezuela y Colombia es que en el primer caso el presidente Chávez en persona anuncia y argumenta el cierre en cadena de radio y televisión, en Colombia en cambio se hace a la manera "democrática" santificada y aceptada por "occidente": Una sucia negociación política y económica bajo al mesa, oculta de la población, no se anuncia por cadena de radio y tv, sin embargo el resultado es el mismo, se suprime una voz disidente.

POPSS.C. Gets What It Deserves This rhetoric is not unusual in the NeoCon South. Neocons and Right Wingnuts routinely pull out the "responsibility" bludgeon they use to bash the poor over the head with. Their motto should be "I've got mine - screw you". BTW, the rest of the editorial offers evidence on just how wrong that position is.

POPSFrom China: "The Google Farce" “The U.S. campaign for uncensored and free flow of information on an unrestricted Internet is a disguised attempt to impose its values on other cultures in the name of democracy,” the editorial reads. “The U.S. government’s ideological imposition is unacceptable and, for that reason, will not be allowed to succeed.”

POPSMark Steyn: Can Obama Hold Teddy's Seat? nothings about America being ready for a light-skinned brown man with no trace of a Negro dialect. And now you're in some dystopian nightmare where Massachusetts is ready for a nude-skinned Brown man with no trace of a Kennedy dialect. How can this be happening? You don't need to have been in an actual coma. Subscribing to The Boston Globe, the unreadable and increasingly unread Massachusetts snooze-sheet, has much the same effect. As the house organ of a decrepit one-party state, the Globe endorsed Martha Coakley with nary a thought using its Sober Thoughtful Massachusetts Election Editorial template (" For Governor/Senator/Mayor/Whatever") and dutifully obscured what happened when one of the candidate's minders shoved to the sidewalk a reporter who had the lese majeste to ask an unhelpful question. If you're one of the dwindling band of Bay Staters who rely on the Globe for your news, you would never have known that a Massachusetts .....

POPSMedia’s Preferential Treatment of GOP Liars = HowCanYouSay FilthyRich Takeover of Media Not Hurt Our
Sure you will hear this: Rupert Murdoch spouting publicly that his ownership of the Wall Street Jounral would not in any way affect editorial policy. But how can anyone buy that obvious bullshit? Of course he would say that! I’ll never believe it. For I was long ago personally involved in the beginnings of the pervasive media mind control program that was initiated by the Filthy Rich, when they were first frightened out of their wits that they might lose control of the population in the Sixties. Not only was media control by ownership used, but TV anchorman Howard K. Smith was fired over it, history’s records were changed because of it, and it led to a massive restructuring of our higher education, our Publishing industry, and our education institutions at all levels down to kindergarten. It was the first major offensive in the Culture War from the side of the Filthies, the first step toward Communist-style brainwashing, the first step in the erosion of our free press, free speech,

POPSVatican accuses Italians of racism after southern riots
Angry immigrants burned cars and shop windows. Locals retaliated by beating them with bars, trying to run them over and setting up barricades. In an editorial entitled "Italians and Racism", L'Osservatore Romano said: "For once, the press is not exaggerating... We have never excelled in our sense of openness, we Italians, from the north to the south. "The American example has been futile: Obama-mania has taken hold from politics to art, from style to language, but has not breached the gap in showing the value of bringing different races together," the paper said. L'Osservatore Romano traced the history of racism in Italy back to the country's colonial past and the Fascist era under Mussolini, and criticised the racist abuse hurled at black football players by Italian fans. On Monday, around 2,000 people staged an anti-racism march in Rosarno, saying that locals and African migrant workers had lived together peaceably for 20 years and blaming the authorities for failing to p

POPS50 Things we know now that we didn't know this time last year
Another 43 on site, including: Watermelon is more efficient at rehydrating our bodies than drinking water. It contains 92 percent water and essential rehydration salts. The speed of U.S Internet broadband lags far behind other industrial nations, including Japan, Finland, South Korea, France and Canada. A chemical component in broccoli can protect the lining of arteries from blockage that leads to angina, heart attack and stroke. The human body emits a glow that is 1,000 times less than what our eyes can detect. Surfing the Internet may help delay dementia because it creates stimulation that exercises portions of the brain. Babies pick up their parents' accents from the womb, and infants are born crying in their native dialect. Researchers found that French newborns cry in a rising French accent, and German babies cry with a characteristic falling inflection. http://www.att.net/s/editorial.dll?eetype=Article&eeid=7020757&render=y&Table=&ch=ne

POPS Indian Paper's KKK Cartoon Condemned By Australia The Sydney Morning Herald recently devoted an article to the subject: In the 12 months to June 2007, 1082 attacks on Indians in Victoria were reported to police - an assault rate of 1700 in every 100,000. Victorian Indians are 2 and a half times more likely than non-Indians to be beaten up or knifed. Why? Furious disagreement prevails. The most contentious theory, the one that has caused such damage to Australian-Indian relations, is that Indian students are targeted by Romper Stomper-style teenage thugs, skinheads looking to reassert control over suburbs newly populated by Sikhs and Hindus; an atavistic and violent response by racists sick of Indians working in every cab, service station and every pub they frequent.

POPSIt's About Executive Function Karl Malone correctly, in my view, put this gun incident in proper perspective. It's wrong, and it's the worst incident that has ever happened to the NBA and it's reputation. I believe that this incident proclaims the nonexistence of the brain's executive function. This is the part of the brain that controls impulsive, dangerous behaviors. Only someone with immature impulses could have done this. It's too bad, Gilbert Arenas didn't ask someone with a more mature sense of self-control how to keep his guns appropriately away from his children. It seems to me that Karl Malone had a good idea of using a safe...OR he could put them in a safety deposit box. He certainly didn't need to put them in a public place where POTENTIALLY other children might find them. I'm hoping that the NBA will help provide the NBA players involved in the incident with some lessons in properly storing guns. It may be too late, but it's worth the effort.

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."
