POPSObama and McCain - No Hope No Change If only the zombies would stop and take a real look at these two horrible people - Obama & McCain. Why can't we have decent people in high places? Because it's all a setup.

POPSThe Left's Fierce Hostility to Sarah Palin's Fecundity Every woman has the "right to choose" her own path through life, but it's a lazy assumption to take for granted that most Americans find Sarah Palin's choices as freakish as our metropolitan elites do. What was it the feminists used to say? "You can have it all." Sarah Palin is a mom, and the first female governor of her state. But the enforcers at the National Organization of Women dismiss her as "more a conservative man than she is a woman". Golly. These days, NOW seems to have as narrow and proscriptive a view of what women are permitted to be as any old 1950s sitcom dad.

POPSThere's always a Police (RIOT) in Patriot Act. If only this technology had been available to the public, during the rise of Hitler, the inhuman memories of what took place during those dark times in human history, would perhaps, not have occurred... Everyone should do what they can to expose such abusive handling of our press... Freespeech is one of the main components of a democracy. If lost, fascism WILL take its place. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSA2K = Access to Knowledge :: Intellectual Property Cory Doctorow opines on the state of Copyright. Didn't know there was a World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Didn't know about Access to Knowledge (A2K) either. Two groups worth watching as Intellectual Property in the digital age shakes itself out.

POPSTeen faces WMD charge after plastic egg explodesmisguided Prank goes wrong. Just a little over the top with the WMD bullshit. Officials should be charged with misuse of powers. Hopefully the judge will bring in sanity. If Charlies kids can flaunt swastikas, this kid should be able to pull a prank, even if a little silly.

POPSBonnie & Clyde The most interesting point to take and infer upon is that people have jobs that "create new fashions and cultural games for smart people to play and discuss". In other words, jobs that create the stuff you end up talking about as ultimately the "smart people" are those who disseminate new ideas via the media. (Albeit, tv, newspapers: arts & entertainment, opinion, comments and analysis etc...) You might call these people critics. The main point to remember is that the vast majority of people end up quoting these people. This makes me wonder about how many other jobs are out there that create attitudes, opinions and fashions? I think its always a good rule of thumb to keep a very close eye on where your attitudes and opinions come from. The next time you are asked your opinion on a topic, stop for a minute and ask yourself it is really your opinion?

POPSFeds Train Clergy To "Quell Dissent" During Martial Law [VIDEO]
Romans 13 1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.

POPSThe Problem with Jane Harman Matthew Yglesias calls on Pelosi to pass over both the corrupt Alcee Hastings and the slightly less corrupt but hawkish Jane Harman and appoint Silvestre Reyes chair of the House Intelligence committee. Makes sense to me.
