POPSCapitalism again proves to the the source of the problem
This article is a must-read. The unfair capitalist healthcare system causes a glut on doctors in rich areas where they can earn more, and a sparsity in areas where they would earn less, like poor communities. Do people still think that America can get by without reforming Healthcare? Doctor's salaries need to be standardized, so a doctor working in a dirt-poor area of Arkansas is going make the same amount (by scale of skill) as a doctor in Malibu, California. 50 million uninsured Americans, and another 50 million underinsured Americans are too many people to be excluded from proper, complete healthcare. It's criminal, and amoral. C'mon, all you right-wingers! Don't you think that women and newborn children dying from perfectly preventable causes during childbirth is more important that wondering if federal money is going to perform abortions? Don't you think that people ending up losing limbs or eyesight due to lack of care for their diabetes is more important than getting all work

POPS0bama's "spontaneous" Joke, Fell Flat! Andy McCarthy For a wartime president managing a slew of manufactured "crises" in a reeling economy, he was sure armed with an astonishing level of detail about the arrestee's side of the story in a local breaking-and-entering case that had resulted in no charges being filed. Obama even had a "spontaneous" joke at the ready about how he himself would probably get "shot" if he ever tried to break into the White House. The joke, of course, fell flat. Trust me on this one (I used to be the guy who decided whether to file federal charges in Westchester County in the first few years after the Clintons moved there): Outside the courtiers of the White House press corps, no one " especially the Secret Service " likes jokes about American presidents getting shot. Obama and his White House security http://www.bookwormroom.com/2009/07/23/obama-and-his-white-house-security/

POPSJPMorgan Chase To Spend Millions on New Jets and Luxury Airport Hangar Mike Dolphin, president of fixed-based operator Avitat Westchester, is fighting the bank's grand plans – because he says JPMorgan's proposed expansion would force his company out of the hangar the bank is eyeing. Westchester County, NY has recommended that the bank – a "high quality corporate citizen" – be awarded the lease to the hangar when it becomes available in April 2010, in part, because of how much money it is dedicating for the "construction of a state of the art "green building." But on March 11, the chairman of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, said he could not understand why corporate America has such a bad image. "When I hear the constant vilification of corporate America I personally don't understand it," Dimon said. Dimon, whose 2008 compensation package, according to SEC documents, was worth more than $19 million in salary, stock and options, declined to speak with ABC News about the proposed plans.

POPSDenzel Washington tells NY kids science is important Denzel and his wife Pauletta have been awarding neuroscience research scholarships to college students, and he was talking to high school kids at Mt Vernon, his home town. His main message was that it may be great to be famous, but if you want to do something more important, learn about sciences, and the opportunities available, where there can be a field that is both interesting, and where they could make a difference.

POPSReverse Immigration “You put it all together, and why should you stay in an environment like that if you have a place like Brazil, where there’s hope, a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not a train to run you over?” said Pedro Coelho, a businessman in Mount Vernon, N.Y., who is known as the mayor of Brazilians in Westchester County. “Are they leaving? Yes, by the hundreds.” In Massachusetts, says Fausto da Rocha, the founder of the Boston-area Brazilian Immigrant Center, his compatriots — many here illegally — are leaving by the thousands, some after losing homes in the subprime mortgage crisis. In New York and New Jersey, travel agents and others who sell airline seats say that one-way bookings to Brazil have more than doubled since last year, to about 150 daily from Kennedy International Airport, and that flights are sold out through February.

POPSOfficial Inclusionary Zoning site of Westchester County This is a fantastic site explaining the county's view of what inclusionary zoning is and should be. In this county, the individual municipalities have total land use control, so a site like this can help sell the public on inclusionary zoning and convince municipalities to try it.

POPSNo terrorism - just war? A pretty good piece on how pathetic liberals are in prosecuting a war. As the 6th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, and bin Laden gloats and lectures incoherently, the liberals, blind as always, seek to hold on to their imaginary utopia. All that utopia boils down to is denial of reality and surrender.

POPSDeath Penalth Denied for Juan Luna In Illinois it takes 12 jurors to unanimously recommend the death penalty in order for that sentence to be imposed. One juror chose to spare the life of Juan Luna, convicted of multiple murder at a Brown's Chicken store in the Chicagoland area. While we may never know the motives of the holdout, unless she decided to come forward, I want to applaud her conscious choice in withholding her vote to put this convicted killer to death. Luna proclaims his innocence. He was convicted on circumstantial physical evidence. If there is one chance in 10,000 that the conviction is in error and Luna's claims are, in fact, true then it is clear that life in prison is the proper course of punishment.

POPSThe Kids Are Alright. Aren't They? On the one hand I'm glad there's a conference like this for gay youth to talk about their experiences with bullying and harassment in school. On the other I'm frustrated that there's still a need for a conference like this. Maybe that's because of what I went through growing up as a skinny, effeminate, nonathletic, black gay boy in the south, in the 80s, during the Reagan era. (Yeah.I might still have a few scars from that.) But what's truly disturbing are the people who says that an anti-bullying conference "affirms" the "gay lifestyle," and particularly the woman who said "There's something called therapy. A person can change if they want to, and they should be encouraged to change if they can." And if they can't or won't? Do they deserved to be harassed? Well, I remember NARTH suggested that it might do them some good.
