POPSMichael Vick's unpaid dues: Why dog advocates won't just "move on"
More: "Jumper cables were clipped onto the ears of underperforming dogs, then, just like with a car, the cables were connected to the terminals of car batteries before lifting and tossing the shamed dogs into the water. We don't know how many suffered this premeditated murder, but the damage to the pool walls tells a story. It seems that while they were scrambling to escape, they scratched and clawed at the pool liner and bit at the dented aluminum sides like a hungry dog on a tin can. "I wear some pretty thick skin during our work with dogs, but I can't shake my minds-eye image of a little black dog splashing frantically in bloody water ... screaming in pain and terror ... brown eyes saucer wide and tiny black white-toed feet clawing at anything, desperate to get a hold…The rescuer in me keeps trying to think of a way to go back in time and somehow…pull the little dog to safety. I think I'll be looking for ways to pull that dog out for the rest of my life."

POPS"Origins of Life in a Lab": From Amino Acids to Apes with iPods 
There are still one or two (billion years of) steps between amino acids and apes with Apple iPods, but we've got those as well. Studies have shown in exhaustive detail how amino acids combine to create larger units called nucleotides. These posed the ultimate jigsaw puzzle: once they come together into RNA, we've seen how it can evolve and improve (and we do mean SEEN: the Scripps Institute rigged up RNA replicators and watched them evolve before their eyes) and eventually arrive at DNA, but we didn't know how the darn things made RNA to begin with. Emphasis on "didn't" - University of Manchester scientists decided to solve the problem, and please note that when U of M decides on something they don't mess around: they spent a full ten years smashing together the pre-life pieces until they eventually fit together. Just as they would have done in early Earth's oceans, which were a couple of orders of magnitude bigger than a beaker and for whom ten years is barely a blink.

POPSI Demand Respect, General, "Could you say 'senator'?" "Why do some liberals apparently despise our military?" DeVore asks in a statement on his campaign's Web site. He says the use of "ma'am" is "a perfectly acceptable sign of military respect to both a U.S. senator or a senior female officer." Republican critics in the blogosphere and elsewhere are excoriating Boxer. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., called Boxer "a loose cannon" and an embarrassment to her party. "I just can't put up with that kind of thing when people think too much of themselves, and we see a lot of that in Washington," DeMint told Fox News Channel. Boxer is scum. California's beleaguered taxpayers would do well to throw her out on her kiester at the next available opportunity.

POPSShrimp Fritters Once you get your mixture together, check the fritter batter for taste and color. You should be able to see the Old Bay in the batter – if not, go ahead and add a little more. Now prepare your fryer. It is best to use a “Fry Daddy” type, but whatever method you use, set the temperature to 350 degrees. You will need two spoons for this – one to drop the batter in the oil and another to take it out! Remove a large spoon of fritter batter from your bowl, being sure you have at least one portion of shrimp in every serving. When the oil is hot enough, slide a portion of fritter into the fryer and it will rise to the top. (Remember – like pancakes, the first one rarely comes out perfectly.) Once you have tasted your first fritter, adjust your batter, adding more flour if you need it thicker or more club soda if you find it uncooked in the middle but golden brown on the outside. Fritter should be lighter than an onion ring. ENJOY! Courtesy of Chef Michael Mosolino Check out h

POPSRepair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) -- Atlantis' astronauts headed out for another spacewalk Friday, this time to give the Hubble Space Telescope some new, badly needed gyroscopes and batteries. Replacing Hubble's gyroscopes is the top priority for this final repair mission to the 19-year-old observatory. The gyroscopes are part of the telescope pointing system, and half of the old ones are broken. It was the second spacewalk in as many days for the Atlantis astronauts. On Thursday, another two-man team installed a powerful new camera and a computer data unit, after struggling with a stubborn bolt. NASA hoped for an easier, less stressful spacewalk Friday. In all, five spacewalks are planned so that the observatory -- beloved by astronomers and many others for its breathtaking views of the universe -- is at its apex while living out its remaining years.

POPS Obama Considers Detaining Terror Suspects Indefinitely Defense Secretary Robert Gates, at a hearing last month, hinted at the administration's deliberations, saying that there were "50 to 100 probably in that ballpark who we cannot release and cannot trust, either in Article 3 courts or military commissions." Mr. Gates and the commanders worried that the pictures would spur new anti-American violence in Iraq and Afghanistan. The administration's move to block the release of military detainee photos was welcomed by Republicans in Congress and by some military family groups but condemned by the ACLU and others.

POPSFascist CIA Warmonger Attacks Obama Despite the fact that President Obama has said ("shockingly," to some) that he wouldn't encourage prosecution of the actual CIA agents who did the torture at Abu Garabi, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, or the secret prisons in Poland, Afghanistan and elsewhere, the neocon conservatives are jumping all over him claiming he's made the country less safe.

POPSJustice Called Mukasey "Tyrant!" Before Fainting at Federalist Society
"And now you know...the rest of the (real) story", that was suppressed. The neocon Attorney General had packed his speech before the (plutocratic) Federalist Society, heralding Bush's anti-constitutional policies against "terrorism", before he fainted. But for some reason the MSM kept this hot piece of news buried from public when a David stood alone against Goliath and hurled the just charge against him before the sycophantic Society that disregards supreme law. THAT is what sent Mukasey reeling (doctors said he had nothing wrong), a solid blow to his stiff-necked and lying conscience, that dropped him to the floor moments later. It wasn't until the next morning — when he turned on the TV in his hotel room — that Sanders learned what happened after he departed: Mukasey, later in his speech, began slurring his words, slumped at the podium and passed out. He was taken to a hospital, where he was released the next day after getting a clean bill of health.
