POPSA Different Look at Statistics This is truly astounding art! The artist has taken various statistics which we often hear but don't comprehend, & turns it into art which can't be ignored. The amazing thing about his art is that nothing is miniaturized. So, because 200,000 Americans die from smoking every 6 months, there are 200,00 packs in this construct. Each piece is like this & consequently, huge. I'd love to see his stuff in person.

POPSEarly Chemical Warfare This is astounding! Chemical warfare was used as early as the Third Century, A.D., to kill Roman troops. Should I even mention that ancient Persia is now Iran.

POPSGod Bless Them & Take Care of Their Families Have a kleenex ready before you read the full article. Then ask yourself why we never heard about this in the media when the incident actually happened almost a year ago. And, yes, that is a rhetorical question.

POPSGotta Love It This clip is from the "Black Agenda Report," the ultra-rabid "journal of African-American thought & action" which, by the way, is run by an "ex"-Black Panther. I guess they really did think the revolution had arrived.

POPSGood for the Bus Driver! You know, if an atheist had been forced to drive a bus with a "There Is a God" slogan, it would have been deemed discrimination.

POPSEnglish Housewife Takes Repairman Hostage! Gotta love it! Wonder how many people will at least think about this now. The lady takes cares of a 6-person household. She bought a new washing machine 10-mths. ago which is apparently a lemon. It's most recent breakdown occurred in early December & the company said the earliest it could send someone out would be after Christmas. When the repairman did come out last week, he told her it need a nickel part, but started to leave without fixing it. The rest, as they say, is history. She made her point. The company is giving her a new washer!

POPSWe'd All Do the Same Thing I don't care how much time we spent in the outdoors, most of us would do the same thing. My similar escapade was with a bull buffalo - & I was by myself!

POPSBravo! I'm not a Mormon, but truly admire much of their lifestyle. How much better would all of our families be if we adopted some of their practices.
