POPSWho Is And Isn't Qualified To Speak On Global Warming? This is different than the Times’ (and others’) treatment of and lack of interest in the academic training of the individual regularly cited without such “just an economist” commentary as a leading and essentially unimpeachable authority, the economist and former railway engineer Rajendra Pachauri. The Times has even hailed Pachauri in the past as the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s chief “climatologist”. Climatology is a specialty field if ever there was one but a qualification which Pachauri, for all of his other virtues toiling for years in the UN vineyards, attained by virtue of being appointed to head the IPCC. This is unfairly disparate treatment. Read more http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/25/who-is-and-isnt-qualified-to-speak-on-global-warming/#more-8630

POPSA Call for Change, Real Change
We debate to determine the best solution. But if the debate is motivated by party-politics, the actual purpose for debate is negated. We don’t need a pretty face to report our news. We need the most articulate, intelligent, and proficient individual. We don’t need hate and the party-line to be constantly propagated by the radio waves. We need the facts, the truth, and the solution. We don’t need ignorance and insults to populate the internet. We need reason, principle, and intelligence to be king. Suggestions on how to be a catalyst for change: Turn off the television, end your cable subscription. Unsubscribe from your daily newspaper. Call talk radio and express your views. Write a letter to the editor. Don’t let yourself be defined as “progressive,” “Conservative,” “Republican,” or “Democrat.” Recognize that men are in many ways existential. Vote according to principle and reason. Not based on party. Live what you believe. Believe what you live. Read. Research. Rememb

POPSBatman For Governor! Val Kilmer might run for the New Mexico Governorship. A bison-raising environmentalist, this looks like a good thing despite his being an actor. Hey, come to think of it, Eastwood did okay.

POPSShort attention span or too busy By singling out young voters are they saying older voters can handle the onslaught of information better? It seems that youth want all of the important issues summarized on a one-page-resume-type format. The report doesn’t ‘summarize’ whether or not ‘millennials’ are too busy to pay attention to details or just suffer from short attention span. Perhaps a little of both? The inherent danger of allowing the media to NOT present detail is the ease in which doing so introduces manipulation. By allowing someone else to summarize offers the opportunity to leave out a fact here or there that could change the overall color of the topic . On the positive side, this puts pressure on the media to be more articulate and precise in their reporting.

POPSThe Internet and the Election... If we are using so much of the internet for political purposes, I guess it's no wonder that the internet providers are planning to limit the use, especially videos and music. If they succeed in metering the internet and its use, they will absolutely limit your and my input. The Danger is imminent and it stinking to high heaven. Somebody is urinating on us and telling us it's raining. Modern elections and the process is taking it's toll on the conserved ones.

POPSPrimitivism Another viewpoint and value system than the current all-will-be well, if only we rush a faster and learn to accept all that is new and shiny. Or at the very least: food for thought.

POPSSchwarzenegger to the rescue of homeowners I have to say, i think this guy has been an awesome governor. I love how aggressive and ballsy he is. Especially love his approach regarding the environment and alternative sources of energy. I wish he could run for president.

POPSStumbling Into Democracy The legislative Dems, while not full fledged vertebrates yet, have shown signs of awakening. This spit in King Bush's eye is a start. Yet there is wonder among many Democrats what exactly the plan is? They want action, and they want it now. This burying of the Impeachment Resolution has pissed off a lot of Dems and this doesn't really make up for what is perceived as too much politicking and not enough doing. Now the wait is on for what's to follow. It doesn't appear that the leadership will listen yet to the people's voice.

POPSWhite House "eviscerates" CDC head's climate-change testimony Ho hum. Once again, the White House censors the presentation of scientific data. Hello? America? Anyone paying attention out there? The funny thing is, this time they said they did it because the CDC testimony conflicts with the IPCC report, which it doesn't. But since when does the White House care about the IPCC? Do they think everyone is stupid?

POPSBaghdad Children "armed" to teeth
More: Trade Minister Abed Falah al-Sudani considered banning the toys because they look so realistic. However, given the seeming impossibility of the task, he shelved the idea 10-year-old Haider, has another reason to play with his toy gun "I love it. I like holding it and going outside to kill evildoers. I like to go outside at night like my uncle (a member of the Mahdi Army)," said the boy wearing a ragged T-shirt. In Sadr City, in the vast ghetto where Sadr is considered a hero and his militia calls the shots, children in their war games reflect the bitter sectarian divides -- one side gets to be Shiite militiamen, the other Sunni insurgents. In other neighbourhoods, it's police versus "terrorists", or army versus Al-Qaeda, according to local news Another vendor, Hassan, 27, runs a stall in Bab al-Sharji in the centre of Baghdad. He confirmed that guns are the all-time favourites with children, male or female. "Children prefer guns to trains, balls or radios," he
