POPSCircus goes Prime Time: See the pregnant man Another freak show hits TV. Oprah has normalized the Jerry Springer show. And I thought Freaks and Geeks was canceled from prime time TV. I guess I was wrong. This poor woman, man, trans gender, transsexual, mentally disturbed person needs help not applause. Our society has lots its moorings if this abnormal behavior is considered the new norm. God help us all. I really feel badly for Tracy, who was born a girl and apparently lost her way somewhere in her formative years. We need to pray for this lost soul who apparently hates herself so much that she was willing to mutilate herself in an attempt to find love she so desperately craves. What does society do? They exploit these poor souls for personal gain and aggrandizement. And to think that millions of people watch the "O" show. "O MY" might be more appropriate.

POPS...Obama an appeaser? How dare you FTA: "Increasingly, the Western world has attitudes rather than policies. It's one thing to talk as a means to an end. But these days, for most midlevel powers, talks arethe end, talks without end. Because that's what civilized nations like doing – chit-chatting, shooting the breeze, having tea and crumpets, talking talking talking. Uncivilized nations like torturing dissidents, killing civilians, bombing villages,..."

POPSUpper Midwest has worst drunken driving rates The federal government also released estimates of driving under the influence of illicit drugs. The rates were highest in the District of Columbia, 7 percent; Rhode Island, 6.8 percent; and Massachusetts, 6.4 percent. Coincides nicely with the rates of narcissism in these upper mid-west and north-east corridors.

POPSLetting go of our defenses Excerpt:s: “Lenin was surely right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.” "Inflation in the United States means a weaker dollar, and a weaker dollar means a weakened United States. It also means more tanks and jet fighters and missiles for Moscow and Beijing. As America sinks in self-absorption, Russia and China look outward. The suffering of the Russian and Chinese people is centuries old. They are adapted to suffering, but America has adapted itself to hedonistic expectations. In an attempt to cling to prosperity, America is ready to let go of its defenses."

POPSMcCain as President Would be a Megalomaniac This article appeared in The American Conservative Magazine which just endorsed Ron Paul. The "maverick" McCain appears to have changed his positions in light of personal ambitions, which also smacks of Willard Milton Romney. This formerly tortured POW (something that psychologists testify of full well leads to a corresponding pathological abuse of others in return) could become a global meglomaniac that would make Bush look like a pacifist, hard as it is to imagine. The neocons, from the left originally, will love him.

POPSThe Kennedy Mystique I am not a big fan of David Brooks, as I find many of his views far too right-wing and conservative for my liking. When I started to read today's NY Times column I was ready for a blast at Kennedy and his endorsement of Obama. But it turned into one of the most positive and lauding commentaries I have read about any politician in a very long time. I hope you will read the entire column, as my clipping is very limited.

POPSOn labels: US Navy recognizes MySpacers as "Alien Life Force" Navy says that today's young generation of "coddled, narcissistic praise junkies" are a "somewhat alien life force" and have virtually no interest in signing up. With the situation today, I doubt one has to be any of the above to be strongly deterred from signing up for any armed force unit!

POPSThe 7 Wonders of the Totalitarian World "Throughout history, it is the deep-pocketed madmen who tend to leave behind the biggest wonders. And while last month's election of the New Seven Wonders of the World hints at this point -- the emperors who fed Christians to the lions in the Roman Coliseum were neither mild-mannered nor impoverished -- they're basically positive tributes to mankind's triumphant, enduring half. But what of the tyranny that drove men to produce such wonders? On some level, each of the New Seven is also a colossal monument to narcissism, either some ruler or some culture's desire to go bigger and leave a mark that cannot be erased -- a sentiment not unlike the one held by some of today's most ruthless dictators. With that in mind, we created the following list, celebrating those modern monuments from the totalitarian world that may or may not make it through the next coup. Check them out while you still can."

POPSInteresting article But the only reason he's going after her now is because she's going after Pelosi. This is his previous completely sympathetic article on Sheehan. http://www.irishecho.com/newspaper/story.cfm?id=16959
