POPSSharpton Blasts Tiger Woods Sharpton, who has long championed taking black women as mistresses, said that today’s black athletes need to stop neglecting black women when it comes to extramarital affairs, and should follow the examples of positive black role models such as Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King, Jr., both of whom cheated on their wives with black women. Sharpton also stressed that cheating with African-American women would help the black community financially by giving black girls the chance to sell their stories to tabloids and gossip magazines. Added Sharpton, “I’m not asking you to not cheat on your wives, I’m just asking you to give back to your own community.”

POPS Why Climategate Does Matter 3. According to one estimate " by the International Energy Agency " the global cost of dealing with AGW will be $45 trillion (that’s 2/3 of the world’s current entire economic). This will mean our energy bills will rise by perhaps a factor of ten; that we will be subject to more and more pettifogging rules on what kind of lightbulbs we use and how we dispose of our trash " perhaps even how often we’re allowed to fly; it will mean governance by unelected “experts” and technocrats from the UN; it will cripple industry; it will mean higher taxes; it will take money from the middle classes in the Western world and hand them over in the form of “compensation” to kleptocrat dictators in the Third World; it will almost certainly send the global economy diving into a double dip depression. We are, in other words, about to be presented with the biggest bill in the history of mankind.

POPSFIFA: Playoff Row Rumbles On
i tend to keep my sports preferences to myself but there's something about the Ireland-France World cup qualifier that is deeply offensive, offensive on levels deeper than just sports. I like the USA way of handling such decisions. FIFA has an attitude I associate with decadent European aristocracy, basically saying: "Too bad. Tough luck. We have made our decision (i.e. wrong decision) and there is nothing you can do about it." In the USA, one of our positive traits is to do something about clear injustice or wrong; at least try: We never had kings; never will. Re: T. Henry -- maybe FIFA should change the name of the game to "Handfootball." That way, if France wins the World Cup, at least it will be clear what game they are playing. The solution, obviously, would be to have video replay reviews -- other ideas such as an extra ref behind the goal and/or the refs talking decisions over might help. But as it stands now, the World Cup is tainted by this admitted cheating

POPSThe "Twilight" Saga: Textbook abusive relationship more: And this movie is the one that made $140 million bucks in one weekend. Bigger than Dark Knight. Maybe it's just that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser than the characters and thus out of this movie's target demographic, or maybe I'm a humorless feminist, but knowing that zillions of girls are seeing this getting the idea that a seriously unhealthy relationship is somehow the equivalent of true love -- that is profoundly disturbing. Far scarier than a werewolf.

POPSHealth Insurance:Cheating The Honor System The honor system may be fine in situations much smaller in scale and with less at stake. In instances where circumstances have placed people in the same position and role - at least on the surface as a statistic - as the intentionally dishonest, it is left to number crunchers to declare those who would appear as cheaters to be invalid. It is the dishonest who are more responsible for innocent parties being dubiously removed from the pool, thereby taking away their coverage. Assuming these cases could be resolved by a caring arbitrator to discern the difference between the unfortunate and the dishonest, maybe this factor could be cleared up.

POPSAnd civilians are still allowed to own guns why? A so-called "responsible gun owner" gunned down a man in cold blood — 4 shots, point blank — because the man got grass on him. This is why guns and gun owners need to be strictly controlled; because anyone can have a bad day (Then again, some people are just complete sociopaths). Having easy access to something that is designed only to harm and kill is just not something that the common person should have. People buying guns should be required to have initial and regular psychological assessments, as well as screening for any violent criminal activity; whether committed as an adult, or as a juvenile. It's not worth taking a chance on people's lives just to allow cowards like Harrington to have guns to hide behind.

POPSIs it not important? When I get divorce, and married again, and would be not happy, regardless of titanic efforts, may be it would be worth to consider to give it a try...;) Oh, no, I'd better divorce again. Family is sacred. When you have no commitment, you are free to do any experiment according your standards and values.

POPSDirty business, exposed O boy, another 'scandal' related to Apple. I'm neither a fan nor an outspoken critic of Apple. But there's a lot going on lately around Apple and it doesn't look good. And yes, the world is unfair. I know. But that doesn't make it right.

POPS"First Queen of Hip-Hop" gets her Ph.D. – on Warner Brothers' dime
Congratulations, Dr. Shante! More: She eventually cashed in, earning a Ph.D. in psychology from Cornell to the tune of $217,000 - all covered by the label. But getting Warner Music to cough up the dough was a battle. "They kept stumbling over their words, and they didn't have an exact reason why they were telling me no," Shante said. She figured Warner considered the clause a throwaway, never believing a teen mom in public housing would attend college… Shante found an arm-twisting ally in Marguerita Grecco, the dean at Marymount Manhattan College. Shante showed her the contract, and the dean let her attend classes for free while pursuing the money. "I told Dean Grecco that either I'm going to go here or go to the streets, so I need your help," Shante recalls. "She said, 'We're going to make them pay for this.'" Grecco submitted and resubmitted the bills to the label, which finally agreed to honor the contract when Shante threatened to go public with the story.

POPSSilvio Berlusconi's wife Veronica demanding divorce - sick of his lying and cheating Miss Lario, 52, who has three grown-up children by the prime minister, accused him of lying about the encounter, during which he gave Miss Letizia a gold and diamond necklace worth 6,000 euros. "He said to me, 'You know, I have to go down to Naples, I have an important summit on rubbish disposal early tomorrow morning,' she said. It was, she added, "the umpteenth lie."

POPSSEEDS We are all guilty of it at some point and to some degree now and then, myself included. I do try (and as a human sometimes fail) to avoid gossiping. When we speak wrongly of others, not only are you cheating the person with whom we are speaking to out of knowing a potentially good friend, but we are also cheating the person being spoken of. We are essentially assisting the listener to form a negative opinion of another. So please think about the harm you can inflict upon others, before you say something about that person. Thank you kindspirit
