POPSCongresswoman Dina Titus urges constituents to print their own money Earlier in the year, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner unveiled a new program designed to combat falling prices, called the No Sales & Low Prices, or NOSLOP, program. The target is for consumer staples to rise at least four or five times wages. So far, the efforts have failed to make prices rise substantially. This failure has been blamed on inadequate money printing measures by the Fed. "The Treasury has a plurality of tools at its disposal to combat price deflation and prevent people from finding bargains. We all know that consumers get upset at low prices, so we started a new program called No Sales & Low Prices . We are asking consumers to report any store that is advertising anything as being on sale, or if they find anything on a store shelf that is marked down," said Treasury Secretary Geithner. It is now a federal felony to lower prices without the approval of President Obama's Consumer Price Czar.

POPSExclusive :The Google Phone Is Very Real. And It’s Coming Soon for Releas to Public Way more interesting are the rumors we’ve been hearing for months about a pure Google-branded phone. Most of our sources have unconfirmed information, which we describe below. But there are a few things we have absolutely confirmed: Google is building their own branded phone that they’ll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone be available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010. The phone will be produced by a major phone manufacturer but will only have Google branding (Microsoft did the same thing with their first Zunes, which were built by Toshiba).

POPSSupreme Court Declares First Amendment Unconstitutional Satire writers write fiction and people believe them <br><br> "The amendment has become meaningless", said Chief Justice John Roberts in issuing the majority opinion. "People are practicing religions that call for the slaughter of animals or the practice of Scientology. News reporters are reporting all kinds of things without revealing their sources. Satire writers write fiction and people believe them. Drunken women are dancing naked on counter tops claiming it's 'free speech'. These days when people 'peaceably assemble' you can rest assured there's pot smoking going on. And the legislature is overwhelmed by people trying to redress grievances to the point that they are generally ignored. The amendment no longer retains the meaning or spirit in which is was written by our founding fathers".

Satire...Satire...Satire " finally, all these states and the federal government are raising their taxes to fund children's health programs- they say. this latest .60 cent tax increase is what started me thinking that today, as the new tax goes into effect, was the time to quit, so instead of the sick little kids getting $1.01 a day in taxes from me to fund their health programs, they're losing .41 cents, or $4.10 a week from me, State Farm, wants to up my new rate a few hundred a month because now I'm fifty and a smoker, so I'm dropping them and getting accident insurance instead and in two years when my rates would drop because (if) I've been a non smoker for that long, I'll go with another company with my business.

POPSSanta, Enemy Combatant It seems that the reindeer formerly known as Blitzen had recently converted to Islam, assuming his new name, ablitzu-az-adeer. These facts remained unconfirmed however as Ridge stated, “we had solid intelligence, increased chatter levels, and unnamable sources close to the detainee which gave us pause to believe that he was planning a major operation, covering several countries in the world, later this month. It involved the delivery of multiple “packages” to unsuspecting domestic targets”. When asked if these packages were actually referred to as “presents” by the incarcerated, Mr. Ridge replied, “Yes, there is apparently no end to his twisted sickness”.

POPSThe Special Sting of Personal Terrorism - Mumbai Update "But what slowly became clear was that this was an attack of especial barbarism, because it was so personal. It was unlike the many strikes of the last many months, bombs left in thronging markets or trains or cars: acts of shrinking cowardice. The new men were not cowards.They seemed to prolong the fight as long as they could. They killed face to face; they wanted to see and speak to their victims; they could taste the violence they made."

POPS"Gadahn The American" Death Rumors Continue To Surface Speculation about Gadahn's death surfaced immediately after the airstrike, as Pakistani sources told US and Pakistani news agencies that Gadahn had not been seen or heard from since the strike. Gadahn was purportedly attending the meeting chaired by Laith, who was planning al Qaeda's 2008 campaign in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda has been quick to lionize the death of its leaders, for propaganda and recruiting reasons. Laith's death was announced on a jihadi Internet forum within three days of the airstrike in North Waziristan.
