POPSMistranslation or Fraud by DeCotta, McKenna & Santafè ? The blogger has proof that one of DeCotta, McKenna & Santafè`s partners, Jon Sutton, has used fraud in order to bring Mr. Kirwan`s property in Spain on public auction. Jon Sutton had an English Court Order translated and brought to Spain. The translation altered the Court Order 180 degrees giving Mr. Kirwan`s ex. wife (and her lawyers) the right to conduct the sale of the Spanish property – when in fact Mr. Kirwan was given that right by the English court.

POPS 'Open Letter To Obama' From Former VP @Proctor & Gamble
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.. You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others. You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail. You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad. You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector. You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one. You scare me because you prefer 'windmills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves. You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations. more at link

POPSNetherland - trip on boat The symbols of the Netherlands are the windmills, the traditional production of cheese and clogs. This was found in the open-air museum near Amssterdamu. A little memory in the form of fotokollage.

POPSWind power is a complete disaster The Ontario Power Authority advises that wind producers will be paid 13.5¢/kwh (more than twice what consumers are currently paying), even without accounting for the additional costs of interconnection, transmission and back-up generation. As the European experience confirms, this will inevitably lead to a dramatic increase in electricity costs with consequent detrimental effects on business and employment. From this perspective, the government’s promise of 55,000 new jobs is a cruel delusion. A recent detailed analysis (focusing mainly on Spain) finds that for every job created by state-funded support of renewables, particularly wind energy, 2.2 jobs are lost. Each wind industry job created cost almost $2-million in subsidies.

POPSSteven Chu Surprised to Learn He's in Charge of Oil Policy Yikes. As Obama focuses on things other than energy, notice gasoline prices inching higher. How long until they're back over $4? Better get building nuclear power plants and converting the federal vehicle fleet to use natural gas, Mr. President. Sure, you can talk about windmills and solar panels out on your speaking stops. But lets make sure that we're doing something serious about our energy needs, okay?

POPSThe Age of Don Quixote In today's industrialized, world old windmills may be seen as sentimental relics of a bygone, bucolic era. But in the early 1600s they were as much part of an industrial landscape as power plants and oil rigs are today. Think of Big Oil as today's equivalent of Big Windmills. Thus, Don Quixote's attack on a windmill was an emblematic act of resentment by a feudal diehard against the symbol of the newly-emerged capitalist system - a much more progressive, efficient, and successful socio-economic order that ushered in prosperity, equality, and individual liberty. In a parallel development, observe Sen. Edward Kennedy's fight against power-generating windmills that threatened to ruin a bucolic view from his patrician Camelot mansion. You get the idea.

POPS"Gaia" Re: Gaia Proto-warmalist James Lovelock, originator of the “Gaia” theory of self-regulating planet spoiled by evil humans, is interviewed by a chick named “Gaia.” Gaia the resource user wants to know what can be done to save both Gaias, the planet one and herself, the rather hot in an earthy kind of way if airheaded human one. Cranky old codger Lovelock, a bit of a contrarian, hates windmills, likes some nukes, and wants to solve the CO2 thing by forcing farmers to burn their crops into charcoal and bury it … all of them, right now! Seems like a lot of effort when, according to him, Gaia is putting off 550 “gigatonnes” of carbon a year and we’re only putting in 30. Sounds like if Gaia has a problem with that, maybe Gaia needs to regulate her own Earth-sized ass. But this is the thing. Gaia’s answer, Lovelock says, is gonna be to kill 8 billion of us. Gaia the planet, not Gaia the dingbat interviewer.

POPSBowel-stewing self-indulgence of elite liberalism. Here’s a news flash: Not everyone truckles with doe-eyed awe at “America’s royal family.” Some of us don’t even like the idea of American royal families. JFK and RFK had their good points, but they don’t deserve the beatification they receive on a daily basis. As a man, Teddy Kennedy is hardly a role model, and as a public servant he’s not much better. I, for one, don’t think denying poor black kids private-school scholarships (aka vouchers) is heroic. Nor do I think his support for alternative energy, except when it might obstruct his Hyannis Port estate’s views with windmills, is admirable.
