POPSPrudence the porker thinks she's a dog She loves to play with the dogs when she's not foraging for acorns and hazelnuts. She jumps around and chases sticks just like they do. It looks quite ridiculous but it seems so natural to her. 'And when they are worn out they all cuddle together and sleep in the meadow. It's lovely to see.'

POPSWashington All Wee-Weed Up!
Exactly. Not only that but the Great Antagonistic Hoard wanted to know why the President would insult the office by the use of such slang. The President saying "wee-weed," has now been added to the list of his alleged great Hitler Communist Afro-American sins. Although, gasp!, it seems, this clip reports, being "wee-weed," in in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, William Shakespeare, the King James Bible, not to mention Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. If that ain't English, --or, at least -- roots of the English language, what is? But, no dope, everybody's wee-weeded up and getting ginned. Lots of folks think what's on our corrossive and toxic news is what is but often, way 4sure, it ain't. Obama hasn't even stepped up to the plate on this (and some other issues). I mean, he's doing yeoman work to the max and calling some shots but when It's Time to Step Up to the Batter's Box it's gonna be a Home Run, 4sure...and he's point out the spot, like Big Babe & blast it like H

POPS Honoring Satchel Paige On Saturday in Cincinnati, baseball will stage its Civil Rights Game, an event created three years ago to draw attention to the game’s racial legacy, which pre-1947 meant players of color were excluded from wearing a big-league uniform.

POPSObama: Normandy. Inchon. Khe San. Gettysburg, et. al. It's Not that the content of President Obama's speechs are extraordinary or his ability to give one second to none but for those of us who notice such things he goes around hitting Home Runs out of the ballpark like he's Babe Ruth or Hank Arron...or you might say he's a striker who's gonna take the team to the World Cup. Put aside all the criticism he gets daily in the corrosive media - he has a tremendous love of his country, it's struggles and it's history . It's very inclusive of us all. Finally, after 65 years of praising Normandy someone mentions Inchon & Khe San. It's also very balanced, he see the good and the bad but knows that better is better. He's said, 4example, the war in Iraq was W-R-O-N-G. Has any president every said a war was wrong before? Of course this may not be everyone's cup of tea but to honor the dead soldier in a nation's struggles is a worldwide and (sorrowful) eternal task, Here, his speech tolls the Liberty Bell. May we all come to rest in

POPS100-Year-Old Batboy Decades-Long Sox Fan
why i love baseball... see link for vid But it did. Wearing his custom-make "Big Pappy" Boston Red Sox Jersey - a gift from his daughter - Giddon arrived for batting practice at Fenway Park Saturday. He handled more helmets than bats. A string of Red Sox players made a point to meet him, including the real "Big Papi," slugger David Ortiz. "You got some hits for me," Ortiz asked Giddon. The last time Giddon was a batboy was 1923 - a bag of peanuts cost 5 cents, and he was 13, working for the old Boston Braves. Giddon once met Babe Ruth, but his favorite player was Ted Williams. "Did you ever thing about playing baseball?" Pinkston asked. "It was more of a dream," Giddon said. "But I don't think I was built for it. I wasn't tall or strong enough." It was Kennesaw Mountain Landis, the first commissioner of baseball, who steered him to a different career. "He says, 'I think you ought to be a lawyer, you ought to go to law school,'" Giddon said. That's what Giddon

POPSThe Last Victorian Leviathan Steam Ship Alas, the end of the Eastern came with more of a whimper than bang. After suffering far too many accidents, and far too many money troubles, the Eastern passed from one hand to another until eventually the largest ship in the Victorian world came to a humiliating end, first as a floating billboard in Liverpool and then finally broken up and sold as scrap. - It took two full years just to dismantle this ship (gives you an idea how big it was). - A mysterious dead body was found inside the special double hull (one can only imagine the desperate story of that stowaway...) At least Brunel didn't see the sad and pathetic end to his magnificent Great Eastern, though he didn't live to see its majesty either. Brunel died only four days after the great ship's first sea trial.
