POPSWhat does it mean to be an American? This 10-year-old boy gets it More: After asking his parents whether it was against the law not to stand for the pledge, Will decided to do something. On Monday, Oct. 5, when the other kids in his class stood up to recite the pledge of allegiance, he remained sitting down…Each day, the substitute got a little more cross with him. On Thursday, it finally came to a head… Will was sent to the office… At the end of our interview, I ask young Will a question that might be a civics test nightmare for your average 10-year-old. Will's answer, though, is good enough — simple enough, true enough — to give me a little rush of goose pimples. What does being an American mean? “Freedom of speech,” Will says, without even stopping to think. “The freedom to disagree. That's what I think pretty much being an American represents.” Somewhere, Thomas Jefferson smiles.

POPSWill Tone of MSNBC Change w/Comcast Merger? I have a pretty basic Comcast package and ever since I heard people complaining that they removed the MEssNBC, I found it up on stn.#128, away from the more "regular" channels, so I'd advise one to scan their sets, you may still have it. (I can't believe I'm helping anyone find the thing;-) Anyway, I think it would be too obvious for Comcast to make it any more scarce. Maybe it's just as well to keep those nutjobs (Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow,etc.) all in one place where they think they've really got something goin' on. Otherwise who knows what kind of hell they'd raise with their whining.

POPSHow Your Debt Amount Affects Credit Score Remember that the last thing that any credit consumer wants to have is low credit scores. This would not only mean that you may already be trapped in a huge amount of debt. Worse, having low credit scores may also mean that you may have difficulties securing future loans. In this case, it is best when you have the capability of being able to know how to improve your credit score, and become an able credit manager.

POPSObama To Receive Special Nobel Prize For Replacing Einstein's Theory "Now is that solid or ain't it solid? I mean, except for that fart?" "It's solid!" "No little energy atoms with electrons, wantons and morons!" The president then explained what an idiot Einstein actually was but everyone thought he was smart because he knew a lot of long words. So you heard it here first. President Barack Hussein Obama has won a special Nobel Prize, replacing and disgracing that egghead, Einstein and his energy theory. Obama went on to say, "Look we is all mad up of those atoms and electrons...they repel each other...they are racist....its all relative...you know there are 11 other universes...me and Michelle are hoping to retire to one of them."

POPS Google's Geheimnis gelüftet: Platz 1 bei Google nicht mit SEO, nicht mit Keywords und Meta Tags
Vergessen Sie alle Märchen über Platz 1 bei Google. Man wollte nur Ihr Geld. Ich habe Google's Geheimnis bereits 2001 gelüftet: Platz 1 bei Google geht nicht mit SEO, nicht mit Keywords und nicht mit Meta Tags. Hier ist der Beweis: Das Official Google Webmaster Central Blog bestätigte am 21.09.2009, was ich 8 Jahre vorher wusste: Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking Am Sonntag, den 27.05.2001 (ja, zweitausendeins!) veröffentlichte ich auf meinem Blog (den ich am 3.1.1999 startete) meinen 126. Tipp der Woche: Was hat die "5x5 Kunden-Profit-Strategie " mit "EKS "zu tun? Grund war die E-Mail eines Unternehmensberaters, der mir mitteilte, dass er die EKS-Rechte für Personalberatung, Unternehmensberatung und Werbung hätte. Gleichzeitig verdächtigte er mich pauschal, ohne konkret zu werden, auf meiner Website seine Markenrechte zu verletzen und drohte mit Abmahnung. Das lag mir völlig fern. Und ich zeigte einige Gründe auf, warum ich zwa

POPSNot a comeback The Republicans are just as pathetic today, as they were a week ago. Americans are just saying that they're disgusted with both parties, and local issues mean more to them than party affiliations. But I suppose if the GOP don't have their delusions, they've got nothing whatsoever.

POPSCoaching Success: Time Lags For brand new coaches who find that there might be long periods of quiet between one client and another, one of the best things you can do is identify your time lags. I did this early in my career (it was unintentional, I confess, but it turned out to be a "happy accident" and I now recommend it to coaches). By "time lag" I mean...

POPSA Beckean Slip: Confusing the president with bin Laden, while touting theory that Obama is a Marxist
This is what we'll call a Beckean Slip: An apparent slip of the tongue that is most likely intentional, and at the bare minimum clearly exposes the desire to confuse the public. It isn't the first time Beck has slipped and mixed up Osama bin Laden's name with President Obama's. And it certainly won't be the last. However, it does tend to undermine Beck's subsequent claim to having this high-level, all-seeing mind that is "right" about a whole host of things (that he's actually been wrong about). Indeed, it reveals a confused mind incapable of clearly distinguishing between the president of the United States and a cave-dwelling terrorist. Beck also adds that "I could be wrong" but "I haven't been before"? Um, yeah, except for the dozens of times he actually has been wrong. (Remember when he was predicting that Americans would eventually go for McCain at the polls? That prediction turned out well, didn't it?)
