POPSRape Is Not A Game Recommended Actions Please write to the Japanese government officials below, calling on them to comply with Japan’s obligations under CEDAW, including the recent strong exhortation of the CEDAW Committee to ban games and cartoons that normalize and promote sexual violence against women and girls. In your letter to the Minister of Justice ask her also to inquire about the requested investigation into the apparent gang rape video sent by Equality Now to the Tokyo police department, and ask that her office investigates this and other actual rape videos to ensure that all those involved are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Please also continue to write to Illusion Software asking it to withdraw immediately from sale all games which involve rape, stalking or other forms of sexual violence or which otherwise denigrate women.

POPSWhy we SHOULD give illegal immigrants health care coverage What's more important? Posturing over "no coverage for illegals!!!" or actually saving money and improving health care for all? More: What's more, employers currently have a clear economic incentive to hire undocumented immigrants: they don't require coverage. A plan that mandates insurance for native workers but not their illegal counterparts actually makes life harder on the blue-collar Americans competing for jobs (and railing against immigrants) because it means that hiring them will cost more than hiring a recent transplant from Mexico City…. But despite the potential economic upside, the right shouldn't stress: America won't insure its illegal immigrants any time soon. "The hard thing here is that the current state of perception on immigration is eroding our sense of social solidarity… People simply don't want money going to people on the other side of the tracks."

POPSSebelius Calls Her SEIU “Brothers and Sisters” To Battle; Dennis Rivera Decries “Terrorist Tactics”
Rivera closed by railing against the “radical fringe” of “right-wingers” and urged his “Purple Army” to fight “terrorist tactics.” Pot and kettle. Fun fact about Anna Burger’s staff from Culture of Corruption : Another Stern administration protégé, Annelle Grajeda, rose to power after the SEIU president installed her as president of the 80,000-member Local 721 in Los Angeles. She ascended to positions on the union’s state council and international executive board. Like Freeman and Jackson, Grajeda had been voted onto Stern’s official administration slate at the SEIU convention in 2008. The Times published damning details of how Grajeda’s ex-boyfriend, SEIU official Alejandro Stephens, collected multiple salaries and consultant fees from the union while also pocketing a salary as a Los Angeles County health services employee. Grajeda had arranged an eight-month leave of absence from the job on behalf of her ex-lover.

POPSJust how much does Palin know about energy anyway? click through for the Olberman video. Just because she knows jack shit about energy (like the Governorship, Palin also quit her state energy post before finishing her term) doesn't mean she can't rake in big $$$ as a shill for Corporate Oil.

POPSThe 7 Most Bizarrely Unlucky People Who Ever Lived (Warning: language) We're not saying these are the unluckiest people in history; we realize the world is full of starving children and cancer victims. But sometimes you see people who have weird, one-in-a-million instances of bad luck, often over and over again, and you can't help but wonder if they didn't piss off a Gypsy at some point.

POPSFor Environmentalists, Nature Has Become Their GOD
This environmental fatigue doesn’t suggest a belief in man-made global warming, or even that Earth’s current temperature is alarming. Personally, I think most global warmists are misguided cultists eager to swallow the religion of environmentalism. Jonestown, here we come. To all the various people and agencies who’re trying to force their faith down my throat, do something significant or shut up. I am not even railing about the hypocrisy of the wealthy celebrity warmists whose lifestyle makes a daily carbon footprint as large as one of China’s coal-fired plants. I’m not going to tsk-tsk about the well-off residents of Martha’s Vineyard like Walter Cronkite or the Robert F. Kennedy, JR, who have rejected a wind farm in Nantucket bay because it will spoil their view. I could care less that Al Gore has made a bigger mess of the environment with his nine concerts than years of single toilet paper use by the entire population could compensate for.

POPSWhat the Pope really said about AIDS and condoms
“I would say that this problem of AIDS cannot be overcome with advertising slogans. If the soul is lacking, if Africans do not help one another, the scourge cannot be resolved by distributing condoms; quite the contrary, we risk worsening the problem. The solution can only come through a twofold commitment: firstly, the humanization of sexuality, in other words a spiritual and human renewal bringing a new way of behaving towards one another; and secondly, true friendship, above all with those who are suffering, a readiness - even through personal sacrifice - to be present with those who suffer. And these are the factors that help and bring visible progress. “Therefore, I would say that our double effort is to renew the human person internally, to give spiritual and human strength to a way of behaving that is just towards our own body and the other person’s body; and this capacity of suffering with those who suffer, to remain present in trying situations.

POPSHuffington Post: Israeli-Occupied Territory Huffington Post has ‘sold out’ to main stream media and can no longer be considered an alternative media outlet. It is all well and good to rant about corporate greed when your publication is small and financially barely getting by, but when you accept a $25 million “investment” and give a board seat to one of the investors, you instantly become a part of what you have been railing against. Proof of her selling out is in her coverage of the Gaza issue.
