POPSFor Those Undecided Voters... If you are undecided about who to vote for in the US presidential race (HUH?) Maybe, you should check with Obama's standing in the world.... Which translates something like this... In Percentages GEORGE W BUSH = 0% BARACK OBAMA = 99% JOHN McGRUMPYPANTS = 1% (Just Kidding) :-D Excerpt from article: No matter where you live, no matter which nation you hail from or to which political ideology you tend to adhere, the Bush/McCain approach to leadership -- belligerent, militaristic, religiously closed-minded, culturally stagnant, environmentally reckless, fiscally irresponsible -- has resulted in one of the most epic collapses of a world power in modern history, which in turn has made the rest of the world a more volatile, hostile place for all. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2008/10/08/notes100808.DTL&nl=fix

POPSToy Robot Intended to Save Humans This narrative, crafted by Hugo award winner Tony Daniel and University of Texas performance professor Thomas Riccio, is intended to make Zeno into a character that people identify with and want to to see develop — something with the depth of a movie character or a figure from a Homerian epic. That makes Zeno into as much of a sociological experiment as it is a technical marvel or fun toy. "The idea is to create a cultural phenomenon and accelerate the use and humanization of the technology," Where story, game, reality, toys are not differentiable anymore.

POPSMcCain Does what he does best when cornered: Plays Dumb It never seems to fail. Play dumb at the time of a question he really doesn't have any idea of an answer. The next day comes up with a different answer after a dozen or so of his hired lobbyist crew give their side of what they want to be said.

POPSObama to nation:F**k This S**t--I'm Outta here! He elaborated: “From the time I was a little boy, I dreamt of being President one day. Of having the power and resources to enact a bold vision for the country, to set this great land on a path to a better future. Now we’re fucking broke. What the hell can I do when we’re $9 trillion in debt and got 1 billion Chinese hankering to cash their IOUs? I can’t even buy a three-fingered handjob now.”

POPSAlaska Chooses Largest Gold Mine Over Clean Water Suggest you read it all--Sarah Palin supported this minin project--ooops, there go the Salmon in that area...some more info on the "Independent" Alaskan voters: But on Aug. 26, Alaskans voted down a ballot measure that proponents had cast as crucial to the future survival of Bristol Bay salmon. Ballot measure 4, which survived a challenge that went all the way to the state Supreme Court to remain on the state's primary ballot, would have prohibited large metal mines from contaminating salmon streams and drinking water sources. Though by law the ballot measure couldn't name a specific project, everyone knew it was aimed at the proposed Pebble Mine, which if developed as planned would be North America's largest open pit gold mine, also mining copper and molybdenum (a crucial element in steel).

POPS Epic Fail continued........about his bombings in the 60s is that they didn’t go far enough, who walked all over an American flag in 2001, and who said right before 9/11 that the very idea that America is a fair place “makes me want to puke”. Meanwhile, McCain’s campaign is launching a salvo of its own tonight - an ad reminding us all of just how tight the Obamessiah was with convicted felon and Chicago money man Tony Rezko. Aside from folks like Stanley Kurtz, who is currently running headfirst into an old-school Chicago stonewall over Obama’s work with Ayers in the Windy City... o major network or newspaper had any interest at all in either Rezko or Ayers. But Barack Obama opened up the Rezko story by yakking about John McCain’s houses and he opened up Ayers by questioning his basic character.

POPSRussia Actually Exists This article proposes ways to counter Russia on her home ground. There are other ways but this is one. The recent Georgian events were inspired by a NeoCon worldview that an audacious event precipitated by a client state just might replicate David with his sling. In this case . . .NOT! There was and remains too much to lo lose. There are pipeline and energy schemes at stake and the loss of prestige and honor by the US in its inability to cover the losses of such a small but vital little merde pile at the far end of the Black Sea. What were they thinking.
