POPSPalin and Her Followers are frightening I think that says that you abused your power, if I read correctly. This kind of parsing of words is disingenuous in the extreme. It is also either arrogant or stupid to suggest someone read the report knowing they will find Finding Number One. It is hard to believe that John McCain can be trusted with anything if he is suggesting that we should trust Sarah Palin. Someone who abuses her power by using it to further her personal ends in the context of her sister’s nasty divorce, and sees nothing wrong with it, frightens me. Its like the Mafia, don’t cross a family member, your livelihood and your reputation could be in danger. But then, this is what frightened me about the Bush/Cheney Texas Mafia, so I guess I’m just a weenie.

POPSObama - Present We already knew he was 'present', just too bad it's not where it counts or needed. To quote Gov. Palin, in front of thousands of Floridians, regarding Obama's 'present' vote on economy - "It’s not leadership Americans can afford.”

POPSI'n a sex worker-don't take away my livelihood This article is written by a woman in the sex trade. She presents a side of this issue that is quite different than what is commonly assumed. Her reasons are valid, and I am not going to pass judgment on her career choice, as short as it may be. She does present a strong case for making prostitution legal.

POPStale of two rugby players For those who have read this article before I make no apologies for repeating it. At a time when my friends are being liberated in Zimbabwe, the actions of Brown and that moron in America proved they are political non-entities in the extreme. Fancy announcing to the world that you have a universal agreement with the other powers for sanctions against Mugabe without first getting the ink on the document. Go to East Glasgow and get your inept party elected. No wonder my grandfather left if that is the standard of reason there exists in Jockland. Go to the article and read carefully. The honest and decent person has no rights in this world where colour has more sway that justice. One of my friend's family had been in Southern Africa for almost 500 years. He now lives in poverty in Portugal.

POPSThe Gentleman's Guide to Tipping I grew up around theatre people (who, almost without exception, all worked as waiters or waitresses at some point), so tipping etiquette was instilled in me at an early age: If you can't afford to tip 15-20% of the bill, you can't afford to eat where you're eating. Choose a cheaper restaurant where you can afford to leave a decent tip.

POPSA Tale of Two Rugby Players This issue is poignant at a time when SIR Robert Mugabe is cocking his nose at the whole world. When you look at his cohorts one has to wonder why the World gives this collection of bigots, dictators, non democratic leaders a second look, let alone increasing the coffers of the despot leadership.

POPSWill the World Survive GM Cultures and the Damage to the Earth's Eco-Systems?
The bio-tech industries have taken a big and dangerous step towards destroying the earth as it has been known for thousands of years. Organic agriculture, biodiversity and natural pest control have made the earth a place for sustainable farming for millennia. However, at this point of delicate balance for the earth's survival, bio-tech corporations want to put an end to everything that is natural in order to make short-term profit from huge monocultures of the genetically modified products that they are falsely marketing as our saviors from world hunger and poverty. India is one country that has been severely hit by the bio-tech industry with accompanying disasters. What follows after the farmers change over to GMO seeds after millennia of planting and making a livelihood in organic farming is a horror story of bad harvests, huge debts, increased costs for herbicides and fertilizers (in spite of the companies' promises of lower costs), and the suicides of thousands of farmers

POPSBlogging to Save Africa's Wildlife When tourism in Kenya declined sharply earlier this year (see my 2/29 clip), it threatened not only the livelihood of locals, but also the country's wildlife. As this story points out, when tourism declined, the Mara Conservancy had to scrape together funds to pay rangers responsible for keeping animals safe from poachers. An entrepreneurial ranger did his best soliciting donations via his blog, Twitter and Flicker. Now he's helping other rangers adopt the same approach. See his website here: http://maratriangle.wildlifedirect.org/.
