POPSEvicted for Reporting Domestic Abuse To add insult to injury, this past July Cleaves-Milan received a call from a collection agency seeking nearly $3,800 they claimed she owed for the early termination of her lease. She returned home a day after telling police her boyfriend threatened to kill her to find a 10-day eviction notice taped to her door. She didn't terminate her lease early – she was given no choice in the matter. Luckily Aimco dropped this fee, but only after the Chicago Tribune inquired. This story is horrific and unfortunately not uncommon. While the Violence Against Women Act of 2005 protects domestic abuse victims who live in public or subsidized housing from eviction, the law concerning private landlords is unclear. This lack of protection for women who rent in the private market creates a disincentive for women to report abuse, trapping women, and often their children, in violent relationships with no legal recourse.

POPSFun Fishing With Kids I have to confess I am not much of a fisherman. I tried to do this with my kids because, like most kids, the idea of fishing sound very exciting. My dad never fish with me and I guess I wasn't very successful in passing down the craft. Here's something for you if you are into this pastime.

POPSObamaCare Supporter Bites Finger Off Elderly Man The single eyewitness account coming from a Moveon.Org blogger. Of course. So beware protestors, if you act "aggressive" -- whatever that means -- when an Obama thug decides to go through you rather than around you, there is potential for the 'side of rational logic' to go Mike Tyson on your digits. We are unable to determine if under ObamaCare's Complete Lives System this elderly man would qualify for finger-reattachment surgery.

POPSBritish Patients Sue Over 33% Failure Rate for Operations Government health care is not moral Greg Knapp OpEd Contributor August 27, 2009 If you are against the government taking an even greater role in our health care system, you are immoral. At least that's what President Barack Obama is trying to tell us. During a teleconference with liberal religious leaders Obama said, "You know this debate over health care goes to the heart of who we are in America. ... It is a core ethical and moral obligation that we look after each other. In the wealthiest nation on earth, we are neglecting to live up to that call." The president went on to say, "We are God's partners in matters of life and death," and the people saying the plan will eventually lead to a single payer system and rationed care are "bearing false witness." It's a good thing George W. Bush never said something like that. Nancy Pelosi's head would have exploded.

POPSGOP Senator: White House Encroaching on First Amendment
I suspect that you would have been leading the charge in condemning such a program -- and I would have been at your side denouncing such heavy-handed government action.” Yesterday, White House director of new media Macon Phillips wrote a blog posting urging readers to flag questionable claims about health care proposals. “There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.” Cornyn specifically asks whether those who quote the president’s past statements -- such as his 2003 statement that he was a “proponent” of single-payer care -- qualifies as . . .

POPSBubbleologist blows the biggest bubbles you have ever seen It all started with just a single bubble," he said. "I was sitting in a field and a bubble just floated past. I took the word away from the object and just looked at it for what it was. I captured my imagination and I just thought what an amazing thing that was. It's like one of those anomalies of nature that just shouldn't exist. Like a bumblebee being too big for its wings"

POPSCan We Stop Being a Superpower, Please? Says New Age Hustler
"This is a relevant question in the aftermath of President Obama's visit to Russia, a country that yearns to return to its former status and does everything it can to posture as its old superpower self. Yet other than a bloated nuclear arsenal and swaggering oil production, present-day Russia doesn't fit the bill and never will again. Its diminished threat is the first reason why the U.S. should abandon the thankless task of policing the world. The second is the enormous waste of resources involved in being a superpower. Sheer inertia keeps fueling the production of new armaments to replace outworn ones that were useless to begin with. Has the Stealth bomber justified its staggering cost? Has the nuclear submarine, Polaris missile, Titan missile, not to mention Star Wars? Most of these weapons haven't seen the slightest use. Billions of dollars have been spent on a defense system that is protecting us from a foe who long ago neutralized its threat." Deepak Chancer Deepak=Smarmy Apache

POPSI was raped, and I am standing up...because the worst thing you can do is pretend it doesn't happen
More: What could my friends have done differently? It doesn't matter. Rape doesn't single out the drunk nympho from the poor side of town. Any number of my friends could have been assaulted, and 1 in 3 of them will be by the time they leave college. Most won't report it, because reporting a rape or assault is humiliating. I would know. So stand up. Stand up for your sisters and mothers and brothers and sons. Stand up until our world changes the way it looks at assault survivors. We're not outcasts, suffering from some horrible disease that if you get too close, you'll catch it. We're your neighbors, your friends, your family members. Stand up for us, because the worst thing you can do is pretend it doesn't happen. US Department of Justice statistics say that 71% of rapes are committed by rapists who are known to their victims. 71% . It's not the guy in the dark alley you really need to worry about… it's the ones you don't think you need to worry about.
