POPSCredit Where It's Due [Mark Steyn] I trust even now Maureen Dowd is working on a hilarious new column mocking proposed names for the Governor's first grandchild. Perhaps Richard Cohen can just take the week off and they can rerun his insightful analysis comparing the Palin nomination to Caligula making his horse a consul. Whereas we sophisticates all know that if McCain were as smart as Obama he'd have nominated a dead horse to be his consul. No wait...

POPSA Trojan Horse? This seems far fetched but let's see how it plays out. After the allegation was removed from another clip by the clipper, that paid trolls are on our site, I don't know what to believe anymore. The evil in people's hearts all in the name of greed and money never cease to amaze me.

POPSThe story of a thoroughbred. The racing industry slaughters horses who fail to make the grade. Stolen pets are slaughtered to feed people in countries who eat horse flesh. A sad indictment of the human race, but some people are working hard to stop this abomination. Please sign their petition.

POPSFrom the horse's mouth: McCain's health-care advisor's personal blog McCain's health-care advisor, John Goodman, thinks we should deal with the problem of uninsured Americans by ordering the Census Bureau to stop calling people "uninsured." I kid you not. He says that since pretty much everyone ends up getting the medical care they need somehow or other, no one's really uninsured. If you read the whole post, you'll also see that Goodman is a little confused about how employer-provided health plans work in real life. This is also the same guy who recently said, commenting on health disparities between whites and nonwhites in the U.S., that "doctors just don’t control our over-eating, over-smoking, over-drinking, and shoot-outs in the hood."

POPS2008 Olympic Equestrian Eventing “I was thrilled to be fifth or fourth—I did what I set out to do, and it just got better and better,” Miles said. “I wish my teammates could have been here with me, but they were all supporting me. I felt good the entire competition. I had a plan and stuck to it, and that made all the difference. I’ve always known he’s the most amazing event horse in the world, and I’m happy to see him shine and let everyone know what an amazing animal he is.” Miles, riding in her first Olympics, said the lights in the arena helped brighten up McKinlaigh. “That little extra life works to my favor,” she said.

POPSBBC hates criticism
This is a blog the BBC, financed through mine and yours forced subscriptions - you do not have a say in whether or not you pay - because concern are raised in it as to the efficacy of the Beebs editing and reporting. Whilst the Beeb swapped and moved channels so that the elderly and dishevelled licence payer lost contact with their chosen sport, it appeared that the only sportsman that the Beeb was interested in was a brilliant Jamaican sprinter. As there was no British interest in the event, it could be assumed that sports where Brits were going for Gold would take full coverage. No. The Beeb could not even flash up on the screen that the events were going on- on a defined channel. And if they objected to the open reference to the winner of the 400 mts, lets get it straight. It was the courts that reinstated a woman who could not make it to a specified location, three times, but could get on the plane to China, for her to run against a proven drug taker, a competitor banned for drug u
