POPSPlaytime Is Over, Now Grow a Set! Increasing the size of the war in Afghanistan instead of withdrawing from that Godforsaken war, prosecution for torture, health care, and who knows how many other disasters... “Obama says in regard to torture that he wants to look forward, not look back,” Velvel continues. “He is a brilliant guy who, despite his brilliance, seems never to have learned the truth in Faulkner’s line that the past is not prologue; it is not even past.” “When those who do evil get away with it because nobody wants to think about what was done, and people instead want to focus on ‘moving forward,’ the door is open, both ideologically and practically, for recurrence of the same evil in the future,” Velvel warns.

POPSWhy Not "Universal Food Coverage, Too"? who only want to insure against the possibility that they'll be hit by a truck. So politicians at both the state and federal level keep passing boatloads of insurance mandates requiring that all insurance plans cover a raft of non-emergency conditions that are expensive to treat -- but whose practitioners have high-priced lobbyists. Insurance plans that force everyone in the plan to pay for everyone else's Viagra and anti-anxiety pills are already completely unfair to people who rarely go to the doctor. It's like being forced to share gas bills with a long-haul trucker or a restaurant bill with Michael Moore. On the other hand, it's a great deal for any lonely hypochondriacs in the plan. Now the Democrats want to force us all into one gigantic national health insurance plan that will cover every real and mythical ailment that has a powerful lobby.

POPSThe Century of The Self it is a controversial document. some call it "BBC leftist marxist yellow journalism" .. while other voices praise it as a rare window unto "what's really going on" which is mainly "veiled" from the common eye. i didn't watch all the series but it seems that some thought provoking "images" of "us" may well be hidden here .. (in a up or sub manner .. -))

POPSNAACP vs. Obama The NAACP people have to bust their ass to come up with another place - and they do, finally, finding an armory in Harlem. There's no air conditioning, however, and we are talking New York in July here. The governor steps in and says he'll provide temporary air conditioning. The White House then says, "OK, but we want to change the time - 2 p.m. for the president's speech is not acceptable anymore. We want 5 o'clock." The NAACP says, wait a minute - this speech is supposed to take place on the biggest day of the convention, the day we hold the awards banquet. If Obama goes on at 5 p.m., we'll have to bus hundreds of people from the downtown Hilton all the way up to Harlem, two or three hours before the president arrives. Then we'll have to bus everyone back and get everyone into their black ties for the awards dinner. We can't do that. So those little bitty people in the NAACP send back the message: Advise him that it's 2 o'clock and we hope he shows. Nice one Obama.

POPS Why Obamanomics Isn't Clintonomics But that is not the path President Clinton ultimately followed. Along with congressional Republicans, he focused on balancing the budget, knocking down trade barriers, even signing a capital gains tax cut. Now I have talked to Obama economic advisers and they are signaling no intention to scrap his investment and tax agenda in order to focus on the budget deficit, $700 billion Paulson Plan or not. Obama himself is still talking it up in the debates, that's for sure. In fact, one Obama adviser told me the economy would have been better in the 1990s had Clinton focused on his "investment' campaign agenda rather than the "bond market strategy" that was more pleasing to Alan Greenspan.

POPSThe Mysterious Missing “Dear Leader” of North Korea, Kim Jong Il Verify North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons Programs?– Hey, They Can’t Even Find Kim Jong Il That hasn’t stopped the Bush administration, with the Condi Rice State Department blazing the way, from sending Kim — or whoever it might be in Pyongyang — $25 million in hard cash, re-starting the Clinton era shipments of free fuel, shoveling in aid (which North Korea can all too easily divert from hungry people to its massive military machine) and ladling out a series of diplomatic concessions in hope of pleasing Kim enough so that he will at least provide a full accounting of his nuclear programs — which North Korea has yet to deliver. Give us a break. Step one ought to be a “verification protocol” for who’s actually in charge, and where he/they are. Step two should be the end of that regime. Not payoffs and dignification of the mystery tyrant.

POPSFive Reasons Chrome Will Take Over the World Consumer love-in Google has proved to be a master of wooing consumers, charming new users by offering free versions of traditionally paid-for services. With 70 per cent of the world's web searches going through Google's search engine, the company has built up a brand awareness so strong that the verb 'to Google' is already part of the lexicon. It's this popularity that could give Chrome a headstart and quickly turn it into a contender. Google's history of consumer-pleasing and unfussy design--think of its sparse, ad-free homepage--could serve Chrome well. Jupiter Research's Elliott said: "Google products are typically very easy to use and very consumer friendly. "They focus extremely heavily on this relationship and everything that they do keeps consumers in mind." Not convinced by Chrome? Read five reasons why it may crash and burn here... http://news.zdnet.com/2424-9595_22-219394.html

POPSTape Recording Reveals Vile Rants Of British Mullah Now Choudary —who once called for the Pope to be executed and described the September 11 hijackers as "magnificent martyrs" — could face arrest under anti-terror laws for his evil ranting on the tape, which was passed to the News of the World. Terrorism expert and author Neil Doyle said: "There is no doubt whatever this a rallying cry to would-be British terrorists. "And this is the evidence from his own mouth. There's no doubt that the message he's preaching will eventually convince some impressionable people they should start planning 7/7-type atrocities. "He's certainly becoming the most high-profile cheerleader for al-Qaeda in the UK." When we spoke to Choudary he refused to discuss our recording but admitted he WAS on a recruitment drive. He ranted: "I would like to recruit enough to turn the whole country into an Islamic state within a month...by tomorrow. "You can put that down. I'm trying to recruit 5,000 a week."
