POPSUS to spend $3bn compensating native Americans Under an agreement reached with tribes, the Interior Department would distribute $1.4 billion to more than 300,000 native American tribe members to compensate them for historical accounting claims, and to resolve future claims. The government also would spend $2 billion to buy back and consolidate tribal land broken up in previous generations. The scheme would allow individual tribe members to obtain cash payments for land interests divided among numerous family members and return the land to tribal control.

POPSAyers Likely Ghost Wrote Obama's Memoir - Part III Ayers stated firmly, “I wrote it.” ... Was he, as she had asked, pulling our collective legs? Other sources report rumors that Ayers is very upset both about not getting any credit for helping Obama on ‘Dreams,’ and may also be put off by being summarily thrown under the bus along with Rev. Wright and everyone else who becomes an inconvenience to this President. (HT: Ace) Previously: Ayers Likely Ghost Wrote Obama's Memoir - Part II Ayers Likely Ghost Wrote Obama's Memoir

POPSAlaska Can Meet U.S. Energy Needs we will have to get our energy from somewhere. Right now, too much of our oil comes from unstable regimes hostile to the United States"some of what we spend on Middle Eastern oil ends up funding global terrorist operations. Blocking OCS development will only exacerbate this national security threat. Alaska is not unique in seeking to tap offshore riches. Other nations, notably Norway and the United Kingdom, have been developing oil and gas offshore in harsh northern climates for decades. The production of these resources has helped maintain global energy supplies, has created thousands of jobs in those countries, and has generated tens of billions of dollars in revenue for those governments. The U.S. has long supported offshore oil and gas development in other countries. The Obama administration is even offering political and financial support for Brazil to develop its offshore oil fields.

POPSMadonna Gandhi visits Calcutta 'Princess Di, me, Princess Di, even Princess Di did it, but I'm not doing it any more. That's why I'm here, doing good for children rather than getting myself in the news for buying another African kid.' Many were impressed by Gandhi's actions, including the Pope, and he had this to say about the Madonna: 'If it wasn't for the Church banning contraception, there would be no African children up for adoption. Luckily Madonna is now doing practical things to help children, rather than taking one or two out of their safe environments, and turning them into a freak show in America.'

POPSChina And Brazil Continue To Look For Oil While We Research . . . Switch Grass
This week, for example, the oil industry was heard complaining about Obama's proposed increases in their taxes by $70 billion over 5 years. For a president who constantly declares that the U.S. must reduce its dependence on foreign oil, this seems self-defeating: If Obama won't allow energy producers to get that oil and gas at home, they will have to get it from other countries more willing to derive revenues from their wealth of energy resources: "If you penalize oil and gas, and add taxes, it is going to make it much more difficult and more expensive. That means U.S. jobs are exported and we won't get the revenues from royalties," said Landry - a spokeswoman for the American Petroleum Institute. Indeed, the leaders of other nations seem to have a less myopic energy view than the the Obamunists Anticipating a robust future, other countries such as China and Brazil have continued to look for oil while we continue to research . . . switch grass.

POPSWhy not a 100% tax on Politicians Book Royalties? Congress has no qualms about attacking portions of the private sector when it believes that it can turn such populism into votes at the ballot box. Likewise, We The People ought to be afforded a similar opportunity to hold our elected officials accountable. And since threats of confiscatory government taxes on "unmerited" or "windfall" income seem to be all the rage these days, I am simply proposing that all elected government officials who write books should be taxed at 100% on any royalty advances that they receive while in office -- while they are employed by us as our public servants. That's only "fair" ... isn't it?

POPSFreeman: US run by Israeli Lobby
The outspoken politician said he had clear evidence against the lobbyists who are "determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East." During his headship of the Middle East Policy Council (MEPC), allegations were leveled against Freeman that he functioned as "a mouthpiece for Saudi Arabia" in exchange for money from the Saudi royalties. He has also been accused of bias towards Beijing for constantly advising the White House to forge stronger China ties. "I have never sought to be paid or accepted payment from any foreign government, including Saudi Arabia or China, for any service, nor have I ever spoken on behalf of a foreign government, its interests, or its policies," Freeman continued. He wondered if President Barack Obama's administration could formulate its own Middle East policy despite the lobby. He also warned that the body's coercive methods ultimately "threat
