POPSJacksCrackers Avant rock, a genre often overlooked but has the most potential in self expression and artistry. Listen to this guy's tracks and see the difference between musical expression and commercial rerepresentation. One track is dedicated to victims of the SouthEast Asian Tsunami

POPSRemember When? When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare." If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!! Didn't that feel good? Just to go back and say, "Yeah, I remember that!" Here's another blast from the past. Do you remember? .:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CR8DMFfFs8

POPS United States Motors 40-odd years of competition from Japan didn’t do it for GM management or its unions. I hope USM CEO Obama or Geithner, whichever one is running that show, has a better idea, but Obama’s demand for a more “lean, mean and competitive” auto industry notwithstanding, I don’t see either of those guys coming up with a new Camry or getting the loyal workforce out for jumping jacks in the morning.

POPSWatch This and You'll Understand a Good Deal of Obama's Streetlander "You Have To Take it Mentality"
Ok,you've seen the clip and hopefully heard about what Jack's character bigottedly had to say about "the black chappies".I'm not asking you to think like his character; just to pay attention to his insight into the thug mentality.Now think about the thugs of ACORN that you've been seeing and hearing about in the news,the terrorist thug associations of Obama(Ayers,Khalidi,Al Mansour,Asbahi,Odinga,and the list goes on...look them up),the Marxist Black Radical Theology that Obama was so happily involved in for 20 years,the interviews(so many and so varied) revealing so many aspects why he should be rejected by American voters for their safety...Taxes(now it's down to 150,000 dollars at which Obama will start grabbing from small businesses),Supreme Court intentions(he intends to stock the courts with judges who will redistribute wealth according to social and economic justice principles)...key Marxist platform principles,and on and on...DO YOU SEE? OBAMA IS TRYING 'TO TAKE IT' THUGLIKE

POPSSCOOP! Competition in Science I wonder if there is a science that looks at the behaviour of scientists? Whatever, alrming if true that some scientists are driven by less than pure motives to accelerate their careers.

POPSCracker Jacks and Crackpots I've already clipped about this "documentary". I've offered this additional clip because of the wonderful analogy the author used between the faith healer and medical school. Sums it up perfectly I though.

POPSMentally Ill Mom Kills 4 Children I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine about how we can tell the difference between those who are mentally ill and those who are psychopaths. She stated that when someone truly has a serious mental illness, people notice (see specifically the parts I clipped). When someone is a psychopath (think Ted Bundy), nobody noticed a thing! This is such an important distinction! I heard on the news that Banita Jacks claimed her children were "possessed' by the devil, and that she lived in the house with their corpses long enough for them to have decomposed badly. This poor woman is not evil, she is sick.

POPSMiami To Pay For Policeman's Topless Stunt I hope this isn't a double post, I saw a news story about this a long while back when they first took them to court and I'm glad to see it finally settled. The guy deserved to be fired, not resigned. I hope this means he doesn't get his pension, because truly he doesn't even deserve that.
