POPSTrust Me "I do not draw attention to these facts to chastise the candidates but to chastise the public. The idea that anyone would base his or her vote on a candidate's "trustworthiness" is absurd. But the idea that fence-sitting voters would or should withhold their votes from Clinton because she is, God forbid, not trustworthy implies that this is somehow an aberrant characteristic for a presidential candidate. Of all the things I have read about this never-ending campaign, this is by far the most hilarious. If you can't stand the sight of Hillary Clinton because she's too liberal, too rich, too haughty, went to Wellesley or simply because she's a woman, at least be man enough to come out and admit it. Don't hide behind some bogus "trustworthiness" rationalization."

The top five sellers last year included Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Andrea Bocelli — all staples of the boomer crowd"

POPSPaul, say it isn't so... :( Some extremely serious allegations from the ex there for Paul. Many more in the article than what I clipped. If true - the lovable (at least once) Paul is one mean SOB.

POPSToday's Topic: What's Weird in the Wikis Another interesting Blog Site I found while perusing the Net.. The "Paul Is Dead" rumors go all the way back to the latter 60's and for a while was a huge phenomenon focusing around the "demise" of the left-handed Beetle. Some of the clues and hints that the Beetle's were supposedly sending in their album art and song lyrics are still quoted today...
