POPSAn Expressive Language Struggling for a Rennaisance As someone who publishes an online magazine of Jewish culture, politics and lifestyle, I am thrilled to learn of this marvelous conference. Yiddish is a beautifully expressive, vibrant and in a very real sense, universal language. So many Yiddishisms have been incorporated into everyday English. Shlep, shmuck, mazel tov are but three of hundreds of expressions that Jews and non-Jews use in their day-to-day conversations. I am glad this group is working towards keeping Yiddish alive.

POPSGay Comedy Produced By Gays...How Unique Finally a gay positive TV show presented from the perspective of the gay sensibility. Will and Grace broke the mold and made positive gay characters possible on a mainstream television sitcom. But the show was essentially straight people talking about us, and showing an audience their perception of gays. Now we have gays presenting their own perception of who they, or should I say we, are. I live in Canada, and I cannot get this new channel and the gay lifestyle channel on her cable and satellite grid is not scheduled, yet, to carry it. But the moment I an able to find a way to watch The Big Gay Sketch Show, you can be sure I will be doing so.

POPSWhat's Good For The Gays is Also Good For the Heteros A silly initiative? Absolutely; but it makes a terrific point. I have heard more times than I can remember that the main reason for marriage is for procreation, hence the institution must be the sole privilege of a man and a woman. Well, is it not fair to ask that this rationale be respected on all fronts? :-)

POPSAnother Tribute to the Late Great, Molly I loved Molly, and I will miss her greatly. Tributes are pouring into the media of all kinds, and every word, whether spoken, printed or heard is absolutely necessary. Her words brought us great insight, humour, understanding and courage. She deserves as many words of praises and appreciation as she wrote for us.

POPSWho Will Kill The Evil Germs? Mark Morford is one of my favourite columnists. He has a wonderfully quirky mind and uses it to express his ideas of the political and intellectually lacking aspects of our society. I urge you to read his entire column by clicking on the visit page link at the top.

POPSA New Sitcom Deals With a Hot Topic This show has a rather rough attitude and yet it has found a way to deal with a subject in a way most families would be able to relate to. Sure, there are some jokes based on stereotypes, but that is almost unavoidable in comedy. The important matter is the sensitivity with which this subject handled and written. None of the performances went over the top or became maudlin. It touched just the right emotions without throwing morality in the audience's face. I wasn't sure what to expect on a show with Michael Rappaport as its star, but I was genuinely pleasantly surprised.
