POPSHow to Become President with Clipmarks You heard it here first. In 2008, you just won't get elected without reaching out to the coveted Clipmarks community. And you can bet we'll be checking candidates' sign-up dates. :) The publicity for Clipmarks 2.0 rolls on....

POPSTop 5 Greatest Movie Monologues According to the author, the top 2 greatest movie monologues ever are: 1. Peter Sellers as President Merkin Muffley in Dr. Strangelove . 2. Ned Beatty as Arthur Jensen in Network . Can you guess the other 3 without looking? Do you have some better suggestions? What makes a great movie monologue? Even more to the point, what qualifies as a monologue? Hamlet's soliloquy would certainly make the cut, but its origins didn't spring from film, so it's probably ineligible. Does a speech have to be a certain length to qualify as a monologue? Can it be addressed to someone who reacts or occasionally interjects something in the middle of the display? (Via kottke.org.)

POPSNY Times Opinion on the Border Fence I've never been a fan of the border fence. It seems to me that it's only going to keep out the lazy, not the determined. I don't think that spending billions to build (how much to maintain?!) a fence that won't be very effective makes any sense.

POPSEconomic Flexibility vs Family Values This is a very opinionated article, but I think it at least raises an interesting question about whether the economic and social ideals of the Republican party are at odds with each other.

POPSObama Walks Ethical Tightrope The article is pretty much just the facts and Obama's statement. It's not clear if anyone is accusing him of ethical misconduct or if there's any evidence that something improper was done. To me, it's just one of those things that you here and wonder why the person was oblivious to the possible perception of their behavior. Sounded like a good statement and apology from Obama. Hope he thinks things through a little better in the future.

POPSWar Propaganda or Reality? It's really hard to tell what's true these days. I don't doubt that insurgents and terrorists are Internet-savvy and are interested in the results of the US elections. I'm not sure that I buy the fact that they want Bush to be weakened. Intelligence sources have confirmed that strong US presence is a great recruiting source for them. A weaker Bush might lead to less recruiting. It might not, though... Either way, starting a new propaganda unit to fight the terrorists seems like an odd move --- mostly because the propaganda will be directed as much at the US people as it is at Iraqis. I would rather have better raw news sources than filtered information through any such unit.

POPSDemocrats to be Moderate? Would that this would come true! I just cant see any party actually governing from the center, even if it had to go there to win the elections. How great could it be for our nation, though, if Congress had a centrist view and didn't play up to one extreme or the other. I can dream until the new Congress sits in January...

POPSEx-Wife Stole Childrens' Identities Scary what some people will do. The whole article focuses more on the fact that people who discover who stole their identity find out over half the time that it was a family member, friend, neighbor, or in-home worker.

POPSGore: Tax Pollution, not Employment Let me start by saying that I am not an economist, so I can't even begin to tell whether this is feasible or not. To me, though, this is a singularly interesting idea. What would be the effect of eliminating income tax and instituting a pollution tax?

POPSMichael Richards with Rev. Jesse Jackson I don't know... I find a lot of what Michael Richards has said difficult to believe. He's not racist, but when hurt and looking to strike out, he goes for racial slurs AFTER bringing up the painful history of lynchings? He's never used such language before, but it just rolled of his tongue when they hurt him with their heckling? No one can really know if Richards is really racist or not, other than him. But actions taken in rage when your mind switched off cna be very telling about people in general.

POPSRNC Looking to Steele as Chair I'm so fascinated by this story, especially after having to suffer through the incredibly bitter campaign between Steele and Cardin. Rumors started right after his loss. They were put down a little in some articles. Now they come back with force. Got to love the ride.

POPSFItzgerald As Next AG? Opinion expressed in Washington Post blog for Fitzgerald to replace Gonzales as the Attorney General of the United States. Interesting piece for those who choose to wade through it all...

POPSI Need Some Talking Shoes ... and a desire to start running again. This does seem like a pretty cool way to fuse standard sneakers and technology (and demand higher prices).

POPSJack Thompson Takes on Mortal Kombat Jack Thompson is trying to stop the sale of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon because some user created a depiction of him in the game and posted it online. This guy is the definition of nuisance suit.
