POPSLogicSaysUnigender ParentsNow Off Table Sudden reversal on left disparages earlier "Two Daddys" glorification. It will be hard for many of them, I'm sure, but I'm confident they will honorably step forward with testimonials and recantations regarding their previously hard-fought campaign to portray stay-at-home mothers as relics of days gone by; of the mother's brand of nurturing being of no importance unique from a man's.

POPSWhy You Won't See Michael Phelps on the Wheaties Box A clip from an AdAge article that outlines why Michael Phelps will be gracing the boxes of Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes—breaking the tradition on the biggest Olympic winners appearing on a Wheaties' box. The real reason? Kellogg's spends 96x more on marketing Frosted Flakes alone than General Mills spends on Wheaties ($11mm in 2007 vs $114 annually). Gold translates to gold. But it does raise the question as to why sugar-coated cereal garners more marketing might/muscle than a breakfast cereal that is perceived as healthy. Is it because "They're Great !" or because kids will clamor for them in the supermarket aisle and around the breakfast table?

POPSThink Yourself Healthy by Appreciating the Exercise You Already Do To illustrate with just one of the outcomes they measured, the average weight of those in the intervention group reduced from 145.5 lbs to 143.72 lbs. Over the same period the control group showed no significant change. For those of you working metric-style that's 66.14 kg down to 65.33 kg. That's like dropping a bag of sugar. In four weeks. With no additional exercise.

POPSWill Media ask Palin the tough questions? What are her views on Iraq? She has expressed concern that we were there just for oil control, and that we had no clear plan - in contrast with McCain. When will she be back in Alaska for her Monegan investigation deposition? The investigation is to be completed by October 31 - will it happen on schedule, or be delayed past election day by her campaigning?

POPSUtopia for a modern age. Our goals include returning healthy biodiversity to the heart of our cities, agriculture to community gardens and the streets, and convenience and pleasure to walking, bicycling and transit. We work to build thriving city and neighborhood centers while reversing sprawl development; to build whole cities based on human needs and “access by proximity” rather than cities built in the current pattern of automobile driven excess, wasteful consumption and the destruction of the biosphere. We visualize a future in which waterways in neighborhood environments and prosperous downtown centers are opened for curious children and native plants and animals.

POPSMcCain's VP Choice a Marginal Creationist To be fair, it doesn't appear that McCain's pick for VP is a dyed-in-the-wool creationist but she still believes in the absurd notion that biblical creationism has a ligitimate place in the science classroom. Her ridiculous "teach the controversy" stance is of course the back door ploy by religious fanatics to gain a toehold in public classrooms. I don't see them siding with Native American's to teach their particular creation myth.
