POPSDon't Write Like An Idiot This is a reclip of an older clip that Invictus made. His original exceeded the current clip limit so I couldn't revive it. Refresher everyone.

POPSHow to Write Aphorisms Delacroix, Eugene (France, 1798-1863) To be a poet at twenty is to be twenty; to be a poet at forty is to be a poet. According to James Geary, editor of the compendium Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists , a truely memorable, quotable aphorism satisfies five laws: It must be brief. It must be definitive. It must be personal — that's the difference between an aphorism and a proverb. It must be philosophical — that's the difference between an aphorism and a platitude, which is not philosophical.... And the fifth law is it must have a twist. And that can be either a linguistic twist or a psychological twist or even a twist in logic that somehow flips the reader into a totally unexpected place. Now you know, so get to work! :)

POPSWar on Blogs? Hmm. . . could this have something to do with the user comments on the ill-fated Tom DeLay Blog?

POPSwe are nothing but the stories we tell ourselves You owe no allegiance to that self-image if it harms you. If you don't like the story your life has become — tell yourself a better one. Think about the person you want to be and do what that person would do. Act the way that person would act. Amazingly enough, once you start acting like that person, people will start treating you like that person.

POPSWhatever Happened to Online Etiquette? Maybe as the Internet becomes as predominant as air, somebody will realize that online behavior isn’t just an afterthought. Maybe, along with HTML and how to gauge a Web site’s credibility, schools and colleges will one day realize that there’s something else to teach about the Internet: Civility 101. Also see: Why are we so nasty (online)?

POPS'Wild-Eyed’ Bush Thumped Chest: ‘I Am The President!’ Is this a joke?? (We all know Bush is a joke, it's the article I mean.) He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of “our country’s destiny.” And that destiny would be what? Economic collapse? Endless wars? Dictatorship? Fascism? Land of the not-so-Free? World War lll? Give us a clue, Mr Boosh! Too many choices!

POPSAmerica in 1825: the poor are simply sold If you lived in the rural North, and you died, your children, your spouse, your Grandma were auctioned to whomever thought they could get enough work out of them to justify their expense. We had auctions for slaves in the South, and for paupers in the North. Small government is brutal government.

POPSWhat the UK REALLY thinks. Warning! Must have a sense of Humour! It is the same idiot now as then. It's a case of the emperor has NO CLOTHS. He never had! It's the same COWARD that is c-in-c now as then. If someone was smart they would stop digging that hole deeper. If they were smart?! I can now say anything, ANYTHING derogatory about AWOL himself and NO ONE will be defending him - except the odd crackpot or religious nut, who still chooses to believe WMDs were in Iraq before the ILLEGAL INVASION. They feel they must, to justify all the dead Americans and Iraqi. What did he say again? "Bring it on". How DEEP will his cave be after 2008, if he doesn't create another 911??? How long before he's boozed up and legless. He's a comic now, imagine him with Jack Daniels! How deep is that hole now? Go on, throw yourself on the mercy of the court. We have a heart, even if...
