Wonder how the next pledge class will handle...

POPSRussian Strategic Bombers Land in Venezuela While the candidates are debating over lipstick and the ownership of the word "change", the frosty relationship between the U.S. and Russia continues to get even cooler. I'd like to hear them put this issue on the table and talk specifics about how they plan to address it. Sure feels like its back to the future . Mutually assured destruction just doesn't seem like a contemporary strategy to me...

POPSHe's eaten 23,000 Big Macs since 1972 Not quite sure which of these two facts is more alarming: the volume of Big Macs or the compulsive receipt collecting. I hope for his sake he's compulsive about taking Lipitor as well...Yikes.

POPSLPGA to Internationals: No speak English, No Golf? Yep, its true. The LPGA had said they were requiring ALL players on the tour to speak English or face suspension. Thankfully, after a ton of flack they changed their mind. How on earth could this even have been considered?!

POPSAmazon Kindle 2.0 Nice balance to this biz week article. Not sure i'm sold on the Kindle either, but its tough to question John Doerr. He's been right many, many times...and his wins typically come with many, many zeros behind it.

POPSThe Pentagon's "Get Smart" Plan This has got to be a joke. The Pentagon "disestablished" the "CIFA" office yet "those responsibilities will now be carried out by a new organization called the Defense Counterintelligence and Human Intelligence Center". WHAT? They shut down one unit only to have another office do the same thing under a different name???? Why not use "The Cone of Silence" and save everyone the trouble of moving boxes from one office to the other? Note to the Pentagon: I think Control and KAOS are easier acronyms to remember ;)

POPSWeb pioneer Gross revitalized by green energy Bill Gross is the Ron Popeil of Internet entrepreneurs...or perhaps the failed car man and innovator Preston Tucker ;) I am excited to see what he will do with his alt energy incubator. Maybe he will once again innovate enough to help shape the green economy. But, with regard to his claim of becoming more disciplined than he was in the 90's...I'll take the under. Good luck Bill, i'm pulling for you!

POPSPolice find cocaine in car used by officers LOL...knuckle heads. Can you imagine the phone call to the guy/girl who bought the other car at auction? Think anyone would ever admit that?! "Yeh, hi...its the Dallas Police Dept. By any chance did you find about 50lbs. of cocaine in your car when you picked it up?" ;)

POPSBlackstone to Buy Billion - Euro Wind - Park: Sources Whoa. Blackstone is considered by many as the preeminent private equity firm. This is not a trivial investment, and i'm not talking about $. This commitment to the business of alt energy - specifically wind powered energy - could lead the way for the next wave of major investment capital. Very exciting.

POPSIs Amazon's Kindle about to Tip? hmmm...2,500 four-year universities in the U.S. The author of this article says Amazon has a long way to go. I say, that's 2,500 highly qualified "Glengary" leads to go after! I can hear Bezos now..."We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. "

POPSSam Zell on Oil, Consumer Confidence, Candidates Zell believes price of Oil will spark mass conservation. He thinks consumer confidence is a serious problem right now. He also echoed the words of P&G's CEO who came out against the candidates for using the media to create added fear. Definitely worth viewing the interview available on CNBC's site...

POPSFounders of Flikr Quit Yahoo! Not surprised. They must be terribly frustrated that they sold their company to Y!. Even more so now considering that a deal with Microsoft never got done...too bad.

POPSFriendfeed the Next Google?! Steve Rubel makes an interesting argument. For me the last paragraph in the story says it all...the founders know how to scale a product like this; they were all team members at Google and helped to launch such products as Google Maps, Adsense, GMail and Google Groups.
