POPSGoldman Sucks’ new role: Taking Your Homes The couple alleges that Goldman declined for three years to confirm their suspicions that it had bought their mortgages from a subprime lender, even after they wrote to Goldman’s then-Chief Executive Henry Paulson — later U.S. Treasury secretary — in 2003. Unable to identify a lender, the couple could neither capitalize on a mortgage hardship provision that would allow them to defer some payments, nor on a state law enabling them to offset their debt against separate, investment-related claims against Goldman. In July, the Beckers won a David-and-Goliath struggle when Goldman subsidiary MTGLQ Investors dropped its bid to seize their house. By then, the college-educated couple had been reduced to shopping for canned goods at flea markets and selling used ceramic glass. Theirs is an infrequent happy ending among the hundreds of cases...

POPSNew Clovis-Age Comet Impact Theory "Highest concentrations of extraterrestrial impact materials occur in the Great Lakes area and spread out from there," Kennett said. "It would have had major effects on humans. Immediate effects would have been in the North and East, producing shockwaves, heat, flooding, wildfires, and a reduction and fragmentation of the human population."

POPSSchwarzenegger Challenges Mother Nature To A Fight The governor ultimately decided against his plan - although he did successfully put out a small fire by squeezing it between his bicep. Instead Schwarzenegger is going straight to the source. "Mother nature will pay. I will grab her puny ankles and shake her until money falls out." At that moment Schwarzenegger turned to a camera and said, "now that's change we can believe in."

POPSOh no! Obama tries to indoctrinate Congress! “I don’t want my legislators exposed to political propaganda,” said Karen Bigelow, a housewife from Nacogdoches, Texas. “I did not send them to Washington to have them brainwashed by a liberal Nazi from the executive branch. Whatever happened to the separation of powers?”

POPSLA Official Blames Environmentalists for Raging Wildfires Biologist Ileene Anderson with the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental organization, said burn permits should be difficult to get because of the potential damage to air quality. Clearing chaparral by hand or machine must be closely scrutinized because it can hurt native species. "Our air quality, for a variety of factors, doesn't need to be further reduced by these controlled burns," she said. /tree-hugging eco-whacko

POPSGore Blames Kings of Leon for Wildfires Not to be outdone, rotund conspiracy theorist Michael Moore added his considerable weight to the debate. "Gore is bat-shit crazy. I can't even take climate change seriously anymore. He needs to take his head out of his ass and smell the roses. There is more to life than climate change. If nothing else Gore should watch my latest documentary, "Is Obama Osama? That's the real question here people".

POPSHurricane Jimena bearing down on Baja California "There's no watches or warnings in effect, but we would like residents and tourists in the area to monitor the progress of the storm," Berg said. "We do expect it to maintain its major hurricane strength as it heads up into that area." Tropical Storm Kevin has also emerged in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. However, Berg says it is weak -- with winds at 50 mph -- and is not expected to pose a serious threat.

POPSWhat Type of Recession Is It? Good news...the recession is over? Obviously this makes no sense. I suppose the elections in Afghanistan, the tea-parties, town hall meetings, Obamacare, swine flu domestic militarism, missing Russian boats, the return of Star Wars, unrest in South America, typhoons, wildfires, and approaching hurricane news needed a little pick-me-up.

POPSPropaganda Cartoon by the ever-clueless Michael Ramirez Funny how the right-wing nutjobs were saying nothing when Bush was stealing their rights and freedoms, but now that Obama is actually starting to restore their rights and freedoms, suddenly they realize, "Hey, we got screwed! Let's blame Obama!!" Frankly, I'm surprised the whiny right-wing talking heads haven't blamed Obama for earthquakes, wildfires and bad breath yet.

POPSWildfire season ignites research and debate A study published in the journal Ecological Applications last week explored the complex relationship between global warming and wildfire risk, suggesting that the creation of dry vegetation influences a fire’s destruction more than rising temperatures themselves. A case in point would be Western shrublands and grasslands, as they require a wet year, followed by a dry one, to produce the kindling for a large wildfire.

POPSBrrrr... Another Rare Occurence-- Great Lakes Freeze Up Again 
But, despite the myriad of evidence against the global warming hoax, the media and politicians continue to cling to their junk science. On March 2, a global warming protest in Washington, D.C. was buried by nearly a foot of snow. And a new study warns that the Earth could be in for a 30-year cooling trend. Reality is not cooperating with the network news’ global warming theme, yet reporters are unwilling to even discuss the possibility that the Earth is cooling. Global warming alarmists repeatedly link weather phenomena like tornadoes, hurricanes, ice melt, droughts and wildfires with global warming and the media embrace the stories. Yet, when cities or regions are buried in snow like the city of Chenzhou, China was in February 2008 there wasn’t a word about climate change in the cooling direction. “It is being called China’s Hurricane Katrina,” NBC anchor Brian Williams said on Feb. 4, 2008. “… the month of blizzards that have brought it to a virtual standstill.

POPSCenter for Biological Diversity Declares Legal War on Global Warming That program will be replaced by the new institute, which will expand and direct climate change work across all of the Center's programs to protect biodiversity, oceans, public lands and urban wildlands. Siegel authored the scientific petition and argued the legal case that won Endangered Species Act protection for the polar bear due to global warming in 2008. Siegel was named California Lawyer of the Year for successfully arguing a 2007 case that overturned inadequate federal fuel-economy standards for failing to consider their contribution to global warming. She shared this award with the Climate Law Institute advisory board member Deborah Sivas, who serves as director of the Stanford Environmental Law Clinic.
