POPSHope + Change = 70% Tax Rate Still, Barack assures us that John McCain's and George Bush's policy stances are indistinguishable, so let's so stipulate. Is that worse than the alternative? After all, what President in the modern era does Senator Obama's agenda most resemble? Huge expansion of the federal government? Check. Letting entitlement spending run wild? Check. "Windfall profit" taxes on oil companies? Strong desire to meet with dictators and state terrorism sponsors? Big doofy grin? Check, check, and check. The Tax Man Cometh Obama’s Plan Since the early 1980s — after Americans rejected Jimmy Carter and embraced Ronald Reagan and his tax cuts — the United States has benefited from relatively competitive tax rates. But if Sen. Barack Obama’s tax plan becomes law, the IRS will become one of the most punitive tax men in the world. http://blog.heritage.org/2008/07/01/morning-bell-the-tax-man-cometh/ (Obama caricature by Cox & Forkum)

POPSLoony Left now labels cars' "global warming score" I'm converting my diesel truck to burn used restaurant veggie oil. I'll get around 2000 miles per gallon of diesel used. Will that rate my truck a 1? How about my cows. Shall I stick a sticker on their backsides when I sell them adknowledging their abominable 10 score with their emissions of methane? How can a state indicate causation between the fictional "global warming" and car emissions? There still is no proof there is global warming, and no proof that car exhaust would even cause such an improbably thing. Stand by. Once the loony left gets fully in power you will see horrendous backward leaps that will drastically affect everyone.

POPSIraq Vet Made Famous By Photo, Dies. The war was never over for Joseph Patrick Dwyer. He may have physically come home but forever mentally he would remain in the hell hole that Bush and his band of Neocons had created. With the wars suicide rates (Post-War Suicides May Exceed Combat Deaths) this war hasn't ended for countless troops who are back home. For many years to come, even if the next President can bring em all home (I'm not talking about McCain-McSame) many will suffer and die on their own turf. In that respect the Iraq war will never end, not for many years to come when there will be no one left on Earth who will remember this criminal war. And that is as sad as the war itself. How many more tears will be shed? thinkingblue.blogspot.com http://www.thethinkingblue.com/iraqvetdies.html

POPSSpain Reeling On July 4, Zapatero said: “To be optimistic is something more than a rational act, it is a moral requirement, an act of decency and, if I may say so, elegance.” Imagine that quote from a Leftist.

POPSThe buck doesn't stop here; it just keeps falling Brought to you by our friends at the federal reserve. Imagine that "nutjob" republican who during the debates said he wanted to abolish the federal reserve, stop printing fiat money, and return the US to a sound monetary policy, what a kook, huh! Of course those words were greeted with laughter from McCain, Guiliani, and others! Now I see why...

POPSPoor at higher risk of death after intensive care: study The study reached it's conclusions and they should be used as a basis of improving survival rates. Whilst I acknowledge that the poor use drugs to escape the boredom, or whatever, all other "classes" use drugs. The rich will not need pain killers, they have purer stuff at home.

POPSThe coming famine "In light of all these hurdles, as I see it, the challenge is to double world food output by 2050 using less land, far less water and fewer nutrients – all in the teeth of increasing rates of drought. And we need to do it sustainably." "I believe we are quite capable of solving these issues through good science and good policy. In the first instance, we need to massively increase global public investment in agricultural research and development. Then we need to make sure the fruits of that research reach farmers everywhere. I also think that commercial wild harvests, such as fishing and forestry, should be phased out in favour of sustainable farming that dovetails with the local environment."

POPSEnzymes made to order Making enzymes is a tricky business. Even the names of the techniques sound mind-boggling, with the process involving a mix of 'quantum mechanical computation', 'advanced protein engineering' and 'directed evolution'. while naturally occurring enzymes speed reaction rates by many billion (or even trillion) fold, the synthetic enzymes gave more conservative boosts – around 100,000 fold. "The acceleration is really rather modest by comparison to Nature," admits Houk – but it's still incredibly exciting
