POPSProtest: mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein Obama Song Michelle Malkin . . . Back to Charisse Carney-Nunes. Via ModernConservative, Carney-Nunes is senior vice president of The Jamestown Project, “the award-winning author of the children’s books, I Am Barack Obama (2009),” and according to her biography, “a graduate of Harvard Law School, where she was a schoolmate of President Obama.” I have e-mailed Carney-Nunes for comment as well. The Obama school song video that she taped shows her book featured on an easel next to the children hailing Dear Leader . She promotes her book as a tool that “allows children to see themselves through the inspirational story of President Obama growing up as an ordinary child asking, Who will change the world? Ultimately, he realizes that he will.” She has spread this creepy cult message to schoolchildren across the country.

POPSFind Your "inner Obama"~"mmm mmm mmm” I have e-mailed the principal of the school with the following questions: Did Ms. Carney-Nunes have permission to videotape the performance? Were parents notified that their children would be participating in this activity prior to the lesson? Was Ms. Carney-Nunes invited to the school to teach the children the song and about her book, “I am Barack Obama?” Was the principal aware of this event and taping? I have e-mailed Carney-Nunes for comment as well. The Obama school song video that she taped shows her book featured on an easel next to the children hailing Dear Leader. She promotes her book as a tool that “allows children to see themselves through the inspirational story of President Obama growing up as an ordinary child asking, Who will change the world? Ultimately, he realizes that he will.” We already know what the response will be to critics of this elementary school agitprop: Raaaaaacist!

POPSWhen That Hope'nChange Fee-Vah Strikes *Here’s the songlist. Believe it or not, Jake Tapper’s eating crap from the left for blogging this story even though, had Bush pulled something like this, (a) it would be in constant rotation on MSNBC and likely have been the top story on “Countdown,” and (b) the same nutroots morons who are hassling JT would have wet themselves with glee over the hay they could make from it. Exit question: How’d Team Barry forget to pre-load that ass-covering speech on race he gave last year — which, I believe, was the last time he dared to utter a syllable on the subject? Isn’t that supposed to be the greatest work of American literature since “Huckleberry Finn” or something?

POPSRising seas likely to flood U.S. history A one Meter rise in sea level, can cover a lot of coastal land that is inhabited because it is coastal. The question isn't Why did this happen ? ,but ,How are we going to deal with changes when they happen ?

POPSRising sea levels will change face of America
The Environmental Protection Agency's calculation projects a land loss of about 22,000 square miles. The EPA, which studied only the Eastern and Gulf coasts, found that Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and South Carolina would lose the most land. But even inland areas like Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia also have slivers of at-risk land, according to the EPA. This past summer's flooding of subways in New York could become far more regular, even an everyday occurrence, with the projected sea rise, other scientists said. And New Orleans' Katrina experience and the daily loss of Louisiana wetlands — which serve as a barrier that weakens hurricanes — are previews of what's to come there. Florida faces a serious public health risk from rising salt water tainting drinking water wells, said Joel Scheraga, the EPA's director of global change research. And the farm-rich San Joaquin Delta in California faces serious salt water flooding problems

POPSJamestown Discovery High Point of Archeaologist Kelso's Life
One rainy autumn day in September 1996, archaeologist William Kelso '71PhD came face to face with one of America's first European settlers. The human skeleton he and his crew discovered during their excavation of Virginia's James Fort, the first permanent English settlement on this continent, lay supine in a large shaft under a leaky protective tent. Near the figure were a few iron nails and faint soil impressions left by the wooden coffin that had decomposed around it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I've never been tall enough to make a slam dunk," says Kelso, whose easygoing, understated manner belies his emotional stake in the discovery. "But I think this is what it would feel like. It's been the highlight of my life." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It took the archaeologists fourteen hours to lift the skeleton (removed intact to allow study in its burial position) by
