POPSDoes Michelle Obama Have a Drinking Problem? Is alcohol rehab part of healthcare plan? But he also feels guilty because of the pictures taken of him drinking beer at an NBA game recently.” The President also feels he may have contributed to his wife’s alcohol issues by not stopping her from overindulging during their date night in New York City on May 30. Michelle, 45, knocked back “a glass or two of champagne” while the couple flew to the Big Apple on a private jet, according to the close source, and published reports said she downed two martinis during dinner at the Greenwich Village restaurant Blue Hill. “It was clear that Mrs. Obama was having a VERY good time,” a restaurant employee told The ENQUIRER. “There’s a real fear that she may be drinking more than she should as a result of the pressures that come along with being First Lady,” an insider divulged. It looks like “Last call” are the First Lady’s least favorite words. Source: NationalEnquirer.com

POPS"That's Just Wrong" So, I was at a Little League baseball game today watching my son play. I was standing next to another father while the opposing team was warming up on the field. We were chatting away about our sons' team, the Yankees, the halcyon days of our own little league baseball youth, etc. when he turned to me and said "man, look at the other team's uniforms, they're wearing navy blue pants with light blue shirts - they look like freakin' pajamas! That's just wrong." I got a chuckle out of it for sure, because they did look like pajamas, but it made me recall some horrible uniforms from the 70's and eighties (below): the 1976 Chicago White Sox uniforms featuring shorts (they looked like a mens slow pitch softball team) and the NHL's Hartford Whalers and Philadelphia Flyers of the 80's who wore pants. Shorts on baseball players? Pants on Hockey players? Now That's just wrong. Who do you think has the worst uniforms in professional sports today?

POPSPurge the Paper, Cut the Shirt: DIY Cloth Napkins Before we sing the virtues of using cloth napkins again, let’s get the facts straight. According to the EPA, the U.S. generates approximately 3,430,000 tons of tissue, napkins and paper towels of waste. That’s a lot of trees…all non-recyclable. It’s enough to make you go on a paper purge. So once again, let’s toast to the eco-friendly cloth napkin: • Cloth napkins can be used and reused over and over again. • Cloth napkins dress up your table. • Cloth napkins help with spills. • Cloth napkins take up less wash (in cold water) than a bulky tablecloth. • Cloth napkins are classy and chic. • Cloth napkins feel good.

POPSStudents Protest FOR flag - Educrats Die of Embarassment
Students on campus started a campaign to wear as much red, white or blue clothing and carry as many flags as possible Thursday in protest of Tuesday's decision, despite the apology. Jake Shelly wore the same shirt he wore Tuesday and was not disciplined. "I am glad so many people are supporting this and wearing red, white and blue," his sister said. She believes the swift change in rules was because of the overwhelming student action. A.J. Galindo is one student who wore a patriotic shirt to school. Galindo's shirt honored Marine Cpl. Joshua Pickard, a family member who died in Iraq in 2006. Pickard's two brothers remain active in the Marines. "I think it is horrible that you can't wear an American flag to school without something like this happening," he said, referring to the flurry of activities during the school's lunch hour. "We have people fighting for our country and dying every day, but we can't wear an American flag at a public school?"

POPSGeorge Bush and 'Sarko the American' To America's delight, Sarkozy has boosted troops in Afghanistan and is preparing France for a return to Nato's integrated command. This sparked Sarkozy's political opponents in France to rise up against what they warn is an "alignment" with Washington. Current topics of friction between Paris and Washington include Turkey's entry to the EU - Washington supports this but France continues to put spanners in the works - and climate change. Another awkward point is Sarkozy's warming of relations with Syria, which has already met a cautious reaction from the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice. The Élysée palace announced this week that France has invited the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, to attend the July 14 Bastille day celebrations after a Mediterranean summit in Paris next month.

POPSChupacabra...Maybe? Sure is Ugly! (pic) What tipped Canion to the possibility that this was no ugly coyote, but perhaps the vampire-like beast, is that the chickens weren't eaten or carried off — all the blood was drained from them, she said.

POPSThe End of HyperColour clothing... "Strangely enough, the US government experimented with Hypercolor for several years after it's discontinuation. They wanted to adapt the dye to make uniforms for prisoners and detainees that would help investigators and corrections officers know if a prisoner was lying. Unfortunately, since orange Hypercolor garments turn yellow when they're warm, detainees in Hypercolor prison-orange jumpsuits walked around looking as if they'd pissed themselves. A lawsuit was filed claiming this was abusively humiliating to prisoners, and the program was cancelled. The US government currently owns the patent for Hypercolor, but there is no information available as to whether or not they plan to use the technology for any future projects." I had the yellow-orange one...and I wanted a grey-white one for school...but my mum said no...
