POPSSupport Your Global Police Force The UN wants to build a global police force. And, if that itself were not bad enough, Ronald K. Noble, a man whose actions have been defined by the UN as attempted genocide, is laying the foundation for. Thanks to the near-ubiquity of inconspicuous digital cameras and the technological blessing of internet file-sharing sites, Americans are just now coming to realize how commonplace criminal abuse by the police has become -- and how difficult it is to hold an abusive police officer accountable for crimes against innocent people. But this is the square root of the problem we would confront in the event that the UN actually created a global police force.

POPSSarah Palin’s ‘Political Pornography’ is an Updated Version of McCarthyism
As with McCarthyism, Palinism is a product of its times. McCarthy exploited the public’s fear of communism and communists. Not only were they abroad, but they were here in America — spies, fellow travelers, pinkos, apologists, intellectuals and short, bespectacled minorities. It was their very ubiquity and invisibility that made them so dangerous. Health-care reform provides Palin the same opportunity. The klutziness of Obama’s effort — people think they know what they can lose but have no idea of what they can gain — again raises the specter of invisible forces that will take but not give, dictate but not listen, tax but not provide. But as is almost always the case with right-wing populists, the shooter has aimed at her own foot. Palin’s “death panel” remarks either killed or helped kill the proposal to offer end-of-life counseling. The victims will be the poor, the uninformed and the ideologically blind who will find themselves unable to make a graceful exit. The affluent have th

POPSCheney's MAD Front the article: "By raising the stakes over the torture issue with his repeated appearances, Dick Cheney isn't merely daring Democratic Congress and the Obama administration to investigate him and other members of the Bush torture team. Cheney's is a scorched earth game he believes he can win. Cheney's MAD strategy goes something like this. If the DOJ or Congress proceeds with torture probes or prosecutions, Republican retaliation will be massive and total. Nominees will be blocked, legislation filibustered and the gridlock in Washington permanent. The blame for the carnage, the theory goes, will go to the side (in this case, Democrats) which launched the first strike. As Ronald Reagan was fond of saying, "a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought."

POPSThe truest statement about twitter i've heard
The sentence above has me thinking that perhaps twitter has tapped into a couple of things that are much bigger than i ever considered. Whether you like, hate or love twitter, you can't help but marvel at how important its become to our culture in such a short period of time. And you probably have found yourself thinking about why that is. I know i do. Well, here's a thought. Perhaps twitter is a place of salvation from a world that otherwise feels like it's swallowing up the little guy. Over the past decade, people have begun to feel extreme levels of skepticism and resentment towards corporate america and politicians. An overall feeling that the system is tilted against the little guy has become pervasive and people have become fed up. What better than to find a place where we can tune out whoever we want, only hear from people we allow in (i.e. follow) and talk about whatever we feel like with those who care about what we have to say. On twitter, you truly are the maste

POPSUbiquity + amplify = spoof heaven This is, I have to say, a spoof I thew together using two excellent tools - Ubiquity (a Firefox plugin which lets you edit web pages and save them so that is the version you see on your local machine) and Amplify. Mischief may ensue... but personally I will always give a disclaimer! Clicking the links on the clip below should take you to the real story.

POPSWhy $100 is the perfect Blu-ray player price $100 is the ideal price for media players that are trying to gain traction in the market. Until DVD players came down to that price, the format wasn't even close to ubiquity. But in just a few short months after the $100 DVD players started hitting store shelves, I remember finding one in almost every home I visited. It was astounding. Personally, I think that would be a reasonable price as well. Read more of the article at the source!
