POPSWill O' Wisps I got stuck on wikipedia reading about folklore, and I had to make a clip of will o' wisp pictures. Other than the first one, the quality wasn't quite what I wanted, but here it is anyway.

POPSOur Old English Long-Case Clock Rang 12 Times on New Year's Eve
Clocks give life to a room, but the tall clocks of the peculiar form that is now 300 years old have a special dignity. To the early American colonist, owning a clock was a status symbol. Most people of that time could not afford a clock of their own and had to rely on the church clock on the town common for the time of day. Privately owned clocks were only found in the finest of homes and were certain to be displayed in a prominent place for all to view. Long-case pendulum clocks were still a new invention in 1736. In 1580 the Astronomer Galileo observed a swinging lamp suspended by a long chain from a cathedral ceiling. He studied its swing and discovered that each swing was equal and had a natural rate of motion. He later found this rate of motion depended upon the length of the chain or pendulum. In 1640 he designed a clock mechanism incorporating the swing of a pendulum, but he died before building his clock design. Read more-watch video http://bit.ly/8Zms7x

POPSDe-Fund Holder's Manhattan Transfer FTA: "No turbaned genie ever appeared out of Aladdin’s lamp to grant three greater wishes than these. KSM to Genie: One, I want to exploit my status as mass-murdering terrorist; Two, I want to inflict even greater pain and suffering on the families of those thousands whom I’ve murdered; Three, I want to make my trial a magnet for my brother jihadists throughout the world." This will make OJ's trial look like a Student Council meeting.

POPSRacism + White Nationalism = What % of Anti-Immigration Reform? It is going to be hard to figure this one, since John Tauton and his ilk have been practicing for more than ten years how to hide within and behind causes and organizations that seem to not be racist or white nationalists. The closer we get to real reform, the easier it will get - the specks of foam on their suits, the more outlandish their claims and the increase in hate crimes. The ugliest part will begin to resemble the break up of the former Yugoslavia - when people were urged to take part in torture and mass killings to serve the "cause" of ethnic cleansing.

POPSRush Limbaugh To Marry Chelsea Clinton Hillary Clinton was more pessimistic about the situation. "F*cking a**h*le, piece of sh*t! I hate that f*cking bastard!" she shrieked. Hillary then picked up a lamp and smashed it against a Secret Service agent's head to make her point. "Where's that gun I used on Vince Foster!!" she raged. "I married a fat a**hole many years ago, and I'm not going to see my daughter make the same f*cking mistake!!" she said bitterly. The marriage is scheduled for Halloween. Only clowns will be invited to attend.

POPSSlaughterman executed mother with bolt gun in front of her daughters
He shut down the house lights before charging up the stairs and burst in just as she turned on the bedroom lamp. McFarlane dragged Miss Griffiths from the room, where she had been sleeping with her ten-year-old daughter, before beating and trying to strangle her. The mother screamed for help as she was attacked and managed to get outside where her 13-year-old girl shouted 'don't do it, stop it,' as McFarlane shot her. A neighbour described what he saw as 'clinical, deliberate, and like an execution' and how he also knocked the teenager to the ground with the weapon. The killer later texted a friend to say he had done it to teach her a lesson - before slashing his arms in an apparent suicide attempt. The Independent Police Complaints Commission launched an inquiry into how police dealt with Miss Griffiths' initial plea for help after her death but has yet to make a ruling. McFarlane pleaded guilty to murder at Ipswich Crown Court last week and was sentenced today at th

POPSThe Menorah As Mossad Symbol - an outraged Jew writes to Jeff Rense "(Note - This totally contradicts the Jewish ethics I learned at home, and reminds me precisely the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion") Bottom: "Ha'Mossad Le'modiein" Translation: "The institute for the collection of Information" As a Jew who supports Israel, I am deeply ashamed that the Mossad has chosen to use the symbol of the State of Israel in the middle of its logo. The Menora (lamp) and the leaves are also a part of our Jewish heritage around the world, but, now that the Mossad has been implicated so seriously with the 911, Lockerbie, ADL, Drugs, Foster, and today with the Mexican Government bombing, I will remove the Menora from my house. Sincerely yours, Shulamit Levy Florida "

POPSCalifornia going down the drain? Sitting propped up against a lamp post, waiting for her number to be called, is Debbie Tuua, 33. It is her birthday, but she has taken a day off work to bring her elderly parents to the Forum, and they have driven through the night to get here. They wait in a car as the heat of the day begins to rise. "It is awful for them, but what choice do we have?" Tuua says. "I have no other way to get care to them." Yet California is currently cutting healthcare, slashing the "Healthy Families" programme that helped an estimated one million of its poorest children. Los Angeles now has a poverty rate of 20%. Other cities across the state, such as Fresno and Modesto, have jobless rates that rival Detroit's. In order to pass its state budget, California's government has had to agree to a deal that cuts billions of dollars from education and sacks 60,000 state employees. Some teachers have launched a hunger strike in protest. California's education system has become so poor so quickly that it is n

POPSThe Statue of Liberty calls bullshit on the "White, Christian Nation" crap Some people think that the end of "white" Christian hegemony in this country is a disaster . They think that this country was founded for and by white Christians and their descendants. Lady Liberty, out in the harbor of the city of my birth, told this son of immigrants that was a racist lie since I could read. Was a time when Italians & Irish were dirty, savage, Catholic semi-humans who could never be "real Americans". Go watch Gangs of New York . My father is from the Philippines, my mother's family is from Ireland. I was born in Brooklyn, and I'm a Zen practioner who lives in California. I am as American as it gets, baby. Diversity breeds strength. Inbreeding breeds weakness and insanity. Just look at European aristocrats. I am not more American than a white Christian. But assert I any LESS American... @ that point, I'm more NEW YORK than I am Zen.
