POPSPoor People Are Fat and A Nation of Whiners Progressive thinking from dinosaurs? Gramm's views have not changed since the 1970's. Where are the stats? What are the solutions? Last time I looked, name calling never actually solved anything. Labling groups of impoverished people and witty adjectives for their plight might make a magazine cover, but in reality it does not make a bad situation any better. The "Al Gore Syndrome" at work agian. Talk, Talk, Talk...soluntions implemented = NONE. Perhaps he'll win the Nobel Peace Prize for his insults and remarkable discovery that "Poor People Are Fat". Pehaps if they stopped whining about us being a "Nation of Whiners" and actually started "doing" the right thing for the "Poor, Fat People" - we could get along towards a solution for the US, and Worldwide, crisis. Roll up your sleeves, Boys, and actually DO something already, will ya!!!

POPSForeclosure Fever Stats for Charleston SC Lowcountry
The tide has turned in the Charleston SC Lowcountry, now experiencing a significant amount of home foreclosures, even on the Islands and very affluent areas of Charleston. Unfortunately, someone else's loss will be another's easy gain. Charleston is still on the rise as a relocation and retirement area in the South (US) and opportunities abound as more and more businesses are relocating here for good. The moral of the story- no matter where you live, do NOT wait until you are 3-6 months behind and fighting foreclosure before you go to a foreclosure specialist or foreclosure "counselor" in your area. The #1 problem their overworked offices are having right now is people coming in for "free help" but it's almost too late to recover. Get help. It's free. Free foreclosure counselors are "out there" near where you live. DO NOT BE TOO EMBARRASSED TO SEEK HELP. This is your Lifestyle and your Family Home we're talking about. Seek help before it's too late.

POPSWestinghouse AP1000 Nuclear Reactors seven of nine approved across the US (no Borg jokes please). Plus Westinghouse/Shaw corporations have been given the thumbs up to build these same reactors in China. It is what is called a generation III+ reactor, and its stats are amazing. Five percent enriched uranium oxide (far less than what is concidered weapons grade: 98%+) which is an amazing improvement to previous plants The coolant pumps are proven designs that are used in warships for cripes sake (and they are huge and impressive).
