POPSRussian Pop If you want to see/hear a Russian pop video - this is a good example. Except for the language you couldn't tell this wasn't a local pop tune (in fact this one's style seems like it was stolen, as most of their pop is, from the Annie Lennox/Al Green song). It's not a bad little tune though. If you speak Russian - you'd be also rewarded with pretty funny lyrics in the song... which is called "there was pork fat on the table", one of favorite ways to get protein in the old days.... I mean WW2 old.

POPSBased on this Republican ad - I'm voting Democrat I got this postcard today from the party of Lincoln promoting voting Democrat and based on the photo and the headline - wouldn't you? Both parties send some ridiculous and nasty flyers, but this was certainly the funniest, especially considering how they screwed up the intent (in the hands of someone who doesn't read fine print).

POPSDutch Terrorist... with a sense of humor The guy make a video urging jihad, but says it should not be taken seriously... I guess he must've thought he was making a comedy video, since he's looking to seek political asylum in Cuba.

POPSNew Type of Torture at Gitmo - Food "Fueled by a high-calorie diet, detainees at Guantanamo Bay are becoming fat. Most of the prisoners arrived at the military prison in southeast Cuba slightly underweight but have since gained an average of 20 pounds (9 kilograms), and most are now "normal to mildly overweight or mildly obese," Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand, spokesman for the detention facilities, said Monday. One detainee's weight has almost doubled to 410 pounds (186 kilograms), Durand said. U.S. officials assess whether detainees are overweight by calculating their body-mass index, a measurement of weight in relation to height."

POPSAge joke SOCIAL SECURITY After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, "Unbutton your shirt." So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me", and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, "You should have dropped your pants... you might have gotten disability, too."

POPSUp-close and personal...with a goat A quick trip to a local farm today yielded this friendly face... would make a heck of a wallpaper with plenty of hay-room for icons. Most appropriate for animal lovers and mathematicians (see the eye).
