POPS15 Bogeymen From Around The World There are many theories about the origin of the word “bogeyman.” One is that it devolved from “buggy man,” the driver of the cart picking up corpses during the Black Plague that decimated Europe. As in the United States, the bogeyman may be nothing more clearly defined than a mist or fog, scratching at windows, or he is sometimes thought of as a tall, gaunt, scarecrow-like man.

POPSWill he jump? While some passers-by like 23-year-old Verena Kircher found the piece "alarming," others like Caroline van Kelst thought it was beautiful. "It is crystal clear that this is not a suicide," she said. "He has definitely got something about him which is majestic, not desperate."

POPSMichelle Obama in White House witchcraft shock
an old unicorn and a signed photograph of Mia Farrow from Polanski's 1968 film Rosemary's Baby. A frogskin diary, hidden inside an almanac of equinoxes and solstices reveals that Michelle Obama, the glamorous 5ft 11in Harvard-educated power behind the presidential throne - has been practising witchcraft for at least 5 years. Inside the front cover of the diary was discovered a photograph of Barack wearing a 'Horny President' T-shirt, taken years before he was even involved in mainstream politics. Also discovered by federal agents were recent scorch marks on the floor of the oval office and evidence of sacrificial rituals on the White House lawn. "I always said that Obama won the Presidency by unfair means", screamed wannabe boss Sarah Palin. "That Michelle bitch cast a spell on the whole planet and everyone's gone and fallen into her clever little cauldron", growled the aggrieved Republican glamour-girl. "I say they should confiscate all that witch's equipment and have a ne

POPSHey Henry, How Is It Down There Under The Bus?
Clifton B., a conservative blogger, thinks the dust-up is about Professor Gates' sense of class privilege. Obama too seems to revels a wee bit too much in his authoritah. He has made little references to his superior status from time to time." Tommy Davis, a conservative Republican in N.Y.: "Whether you are an educator or a caught criminal, all citizens are supposed to cooperate with standard investigative procedure. Just because you are a published professor --- Mr. Gates --- doesn't mean a cop should 'know you who are.' Don't make your situation out to be racist just because you are subject to the law!" Veronica Foxx, a conservative in D.C., wonders: "If It Had been a Black Police Officer and a White Professor Would Anyone Be Having this Conversation? I believe What the Police Officer Did was HIS JOB. Maybe Obama Should Stick to his Job and Stop Trying to Take Care of Another one of his Budd ! Retire The Race Card Please! Not Saying There Isn't Racism In America . . .

POPSAMERICAN IDOL ~ And The Winner Is . . . . Before the results were announced, Lambert and Allen had a moment of musical camaraderie: They joined together with Queen on the rock anthem "We Are the Champions." "Adam did win. So did Kris. Nobody lost tonight. These are two champions," said Paul Stanley from Kiss backstage. Allen was joined by Keith Urban on "Kiss a Girl," while Lambert performed with Kiss. The female finalists, including Allison Iraheta, opened up for Fergie, who sang "Big Girls Don't Cry" and then was joined by her group, the Black Eyed Peas. Iraheta later dueted with Cyndi Lauper on "Time After Time" and Danny Gokey joined Lionel Richie for two tunes. Rod Stewart sang "Maggie May" after the male finalists opened for him with "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy."

POPSAnti-Obama Taxpayer Tea Parties steeped in insanity
The original Boston Tea Party was caffeinated by a very simple injustice: American Colonists refused to be taxed by a government that lacked any popular representation. That was remedied a few years later in a heroic struggle that stretched from Concord to Yorktown. So, if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor, what's the beef behind today's protests? The Obama administration is cutting taxes for all except the very richest of Americans. Reduced withholding is already showing up in millions of paychecks. Then again, this rash of tea parties is being organized not only by the pseudo-journalists at Fox News (with Glenn Beck, Neil Cavuto and Sean Hannity actively stoking the flames) but also by FreedomWorks, a conservative lobbying outfit headed by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey. I suppose it was Armey's constitutional if morally dubious privilege to have built an entire political career out of defending the wealthy. But are common folks actually going to dump Earl Grey into

POPSFormer Yahoo CEO was wrong to the tune of $billions Aside from the great extent to which this perspective proved to be wrong, there is a great lesson here...that people who see business models as black and white, or who try to force a model prematurely, can be missing the big picture. Imagine if Google had listened to everyone else who said search will never be a lucrative business. Fast forward to today...I believe that the current excitement about real-time, human filtered search is real and justified. However, i don't necessarily think people have yet figured out exactly how it will be monetized. I also don't think the right solution has yet been introduced. One thing i do know for sure is that amplify is going throw it's hat in the ring and make a run at it.
