POPSOUR BRAVE NATION Are we brave enough, AGAIN, to be accounted for? Do we show up or just complain? Where are the protesters? Where are the participants? America once was the beginning of a world wide MOVEMENT and now we seem to be at the end. Let's meet at the next rally, outside, not web side. Or are we that afraid of looking ridiculous? What is stopping us now? Participation required, not just mental masturbation and making our feelings some room.

POPSCracked Magazine's 25 Historical Events (As Depicted by 5 Year Olds) OK, I am dating myself here but I remember Cracked Magazine as well as Mad, Crazy, Car-toons, and Plop from when I was a kid. Eventually all that was left on the magazine racks were Mad. I never even thought they may have switched to an online E-Zine or that they would be open to subscriber participation! Personally, I always thought Cracked was better than Mad any day!

POPSHopes For Climate Solutions Dim At G-8 Summit I thought the President of the US was a world leader, and Bush wants to stall until everyone else is toeing the line. Also gives his masters more time to make money before they are forced to make (probably belated) changes.

Heads Toward Initiatve On Legal Marijuana "That, as a smoking substance, marijuana is far less addictive or harmful to the health of the People than tobacco--That, even though alcohol is harmful to the health and safety of the People, the prohibition of alcohol from 1920 to 1933 only increased the harms associated with alcohol use"

POPSInternational Summer Tour Ahead for Obama From a campaigning standpoint, it's a really good idea to include European stops. He's crazy popular there and the huge crowds won't fail to remind many of Clinton's last tour of the continent -- i.e., he'll look pretty damned presidential.

POPSFeds Charge Two With Conspiracy To Export Aircraft Parts To Iran
Federal agents executed a search warrant at Bujduveanu's home and business immediately after his arrest. Agents found boxes of military aircraft parts stored on Bujduvenau's property, including hundreds of parts for the C-130, the F-5, and other military aircraft. "Today's defendants are charged with illegally selling US military equipment to Iran, thus helping that country build up its military strength," said R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. "We owe it to the many service men and women who defend us to vigorously prosecute illegal exports of American military equipment." "Disrupting illegal procurement networks that attempt to circumvent our sanctions against Iran is a top priority of the Bureau of Industry and Security," said Special Agent in Charge, Michael Johnson. "This case demonstrates the importance of team work in preventing diversion of sensitive US goods," he added.
