POPS Up To 60,000 Attend Palin Florida Rally "Sa-Rah! Sa-Rah!" they chanted at every mention of her name, applauding loudly and waiving tiny American flags that were distributed -- along with free water bottles -- by local volunteers. The fire chief estimated the crowd at 60,000. Admiring throngs mobbed the Palin family's arrival and departure, snapping souvenir pictures. Autograph seekers thrust campaign signs, caps with the McCain-Palin logo and copies of magazines with her face on their covers, and the Palins responded warmly.

POPSObama - Present We already knew he was 'present', just too bad it's not where it counts or needed. To quote Gov. Palin, in front of thousands of Floridians, regarding Obama's 'present' vote on economy - "It’s not leadership Americans can afford.”

POPSThree Senators Opened The Door For Iraq Oil Contracts For Red China but the resulting media hooraw in Iraq led to the cancellation of the contracts, and helps to explain why Iraq is doing oil deals instead with China. Senators Schumer, McCaskill, and Kerry claimed: “It is our fear that this action by the Iraqi government could further deepen political tensions in Iraq and put our service members in even great danger.” For that reason, presumably, Schumer went so far as to ask the senior vice president of Exxon “if his company would agree to wait until the GOI produced a fair, equitable, and transparent hydrocarbon revenue sharing law before it signed any long-term agreement with the GOI.” Exxon naturally refused, but Schumer managed to get the deal killed anyway.

POPSFLOW: Documentary humanizes international water politics Please join me along with the directors urge to viewers to sign the UN petition http://article31.org/ that would make access to clean drinking water a basic human right. The director wants you to think of water as a commodity that's as precious as oil--blue gold, as they say. "Blue Gold" is also the title of a book by Maude Barlow, an activist who is featured in the film, fighting against the corporate takeover of water systems. Whoever controls water, has power. Though our tap water is pretty regulated, we insist on buying bottled water (in one particularly troubling tale, Nestle is selling Michigan water back to citizens of the state in bottles for a fee). Barlow says California has 20 years of water left, Arizona has 10 (but with the way they're building golf courses, she says, they could reduce it to five). Until then, don't forget to turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth.

POPSU.S. Seeks Extradition Of Serbian Basketball Player As a condition of his release, Kovacevic surrendered his Serbian passport, but Serbian Deputy Consul Igor Milosevic allegedly furnished Kovacevic with travel documents. The Serbian Foreign Ministry said Milosevic is facing disciplinary action for issuing the new documents. "The case of Miladin Kovacevic, who is reported to have brutally beaten a fellow student half his size even after he was unconscious, and then fled the United States while awaiting trial, is shocking," Munter said in the statement. Kovacevic, who is reported to have brutally beaten a fellow student half his size even after he was unconscious, and then fled the United States while awaiting trial, is shocking," Munter said. The two countries' treaties effectively bar them from extraditing their own citizens. But legal experts said loopholes could be found that would allow the return of the basketball player since he fled the U.S. to avoid prosecution.

POPSREMEMBERING MODERN HISTORY’S GREATEST CRIME Why so silent on this most enormous crime of European history? Might it have something to do with the fact that most of the senior officers of Stalin’s Cheka, or secret police, were Jewish, including Kaganovitch & Stalin? Compensation for Russians, Chechans, Ukrainians? Do not hold your breath.

POPSWexler: McCain Tramples Constitution with Plans to Continue Bush's Illegal Wiretapping Senator McCain opposes a bipartisan House compromise bill that preserves appropriate court review of all surveillance of US citizens and gives judges the discretion to review all the necessary documents related to telecom lawsuits without offering blanket immunity. Congressman Wexler is Chairman of the Europe Subcommittee and a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Judiciary Committee; and he also sits on the Financial Services Committee.

POPSCCTV and Surveillance Cams Ineffective Many UK studies have concluded same. But as with this article they always try to justify it anyway, despite the enormous cost of installing these police state grids. Let your state and local authorities know that not only do they trample the 4th amendment (treating all citizens like criminal suspects, without probable cause), but they do not deter crime or even catch many criminals. The "security merchandisers" are busy reaping profits from the trampling of your liberties by seducing authorities with the latest toys and technology.

POPSConcentration Camps: Nazi=BAD; US/Israel: GOOD It is bad enough if these filthy creatures from the White House put their own citizens in torture concentration camps, but here they kidnap people by the tens of thousands and herd them in torture and death camps and not a single western leader sees anything wrong.
