POPSObamaCare Sparking 10th Amendment Action in Seven States
Graham has been all over cable news today visibly angry about the vote-buying by Reid that secured the votes of Senators Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, as well as possibly other senators as yet unknown. DeMint has also been active, especially on the issue of the Reid amendment's provision seeking to bar future congresses from changing even a single word of Section 3403 on the Independent Medicare Advisory Board (IMAB). The IMAB will become the federal health care ground zero under Obamacare if it becomes law. Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has a link to DeMint's floor speech on the issue and additional information, analyses, and links. Nelson's deal with Reid has attracted the most attention because it exempts Nebraska from paying its share of Medicaid expenses in perpetuity. Medicaid expenditures are among the most expensive federal mandates on state governments, and the Obamacare bill will significantly increase costs

POPSExploring the powerful history of Gdansk This lovely street wasn't always so lively and carefree. On Sept. 1, 1939 — nearly 70 years ago to this date — Adolf Hitler invaded this once-German city, sparking World War II. By the end of the war, nearly 80 percent of the city had been destroyed, and the main street lay in ruins. Locals stubbornly rebuilt their town with the help of detailed drawings and photographs, mostly using the original brick. Today, excursion boats ferry history buffs through shipyards to Westerplatte point, where the war's first shots were fired.

POPSPush for Kennedy Successor Stirs Political Storm Now, with Mr. Kennedy dying three years before his term was up, some Massachusetts Democrats are reversing course, calling for Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick to appoint an interim replacement to hold office until the special election can be held. They now argue the state shouldn't be without full Senate representation for months, especially with pressing issues such as health care before Congress. The Massachusetts situation is the latest to erupt over filling vacant U.S. Senate seats, following particularly messy appointments in New York and Illinois. Away from the political infighting, mourners lamented Massachusetts's loss of clout in the U.S. Senate. "Whoever goes in will not have remotely close to the influence he had," said Ted Glynn of Boston. "That's a big concern." The question of how to fill Mr. Kennedy's seat is vexing Democrats. In 2004, Mr. Kennedy supported a special election rather than a gubernatorial appointment. Yet more recently, he wrote to Mr. Patrick . .

POPSTaser Shotguns - Are they safe? Now there's the famous question: "Aren't they supposed to hurt?" Well, I myself think they should redesign the cartridge, if the point of stun guns is to debilitate the target, then maybe these 5 minutes of unceasing shock is not such a good idea if they'll need the victim "healthy" and sane afterwards. Anyway, wireless stun guns may come in handy to the authorities and whoever needs them. And they're always good, as they don't kill people. :)

POPSMinimum wage hike: More money or fewer jobs?
I wanted to clip this article, not so much because of any supposed newsworthiness of yet another impotent attempt by Congress to help make our lives better, (personally I think if consumer prices would just stop increasing then wage hikes would actually mean something), but because of this photo. I find it disgusting for two reasons. One, that Ted Kennedy (or any politician) can stand behind this idea with a straight face telling the working class that this is a ‘new direction for America’. Secondly, I find it insulting that they are trying to convince us that higher wages are somehow equivalent to better jobs. I would never begrudge anyone earning a fair wage, but what is considered a fair wage in the face of the seemingly out of control increases in prices for everything we buy? The cycle of increasing wages in order to keep up with inflation caused by increasing consumer prices to keep up with increasing wages, is maddening. Stop increasing consumer prices!

POPSF-35s FOUR YEARS Behind Schedule, No One Told Until After Vote On F-22 Budget The oversight panel’s calculations determined that the fighter won’t be able to move out of the development phase and into full production mode until 2016, rather than 2014 as the program office has said. That’s assuming there are no further problems with the program, which has already faced cost overruns and schedule delays. The Government Accountability Office said the delay could cost as much as $7.4 billion. Administration officials and senators repeatedly touted the F-35 program as the best bet to preserve U.S. air power superiority and as a primary reason to cap the F'22 program at 187 planes. The Senate voted for the cap, 58-40, on July 21. “In every parameter and in every respect, the Joint Program Office’s projections were always a hell of a lot rosier than what the Joint Estimate Team found,” said one Senate aide who was briefed on the findings. Sen. Christopher S. Bond , R-Mo., who has often criticized the program, calling it the “Joint Strike Failure" . . .
