POPSIt's the Attack of the Vintage Movie Poster! Movie posters are one of the most diversified genre there is. From photography, to realistic illustration, to the expressive and dramatic- Show biz has got it all! Of course, I’m a sucker for it’s pinups- the classic and the contemporary.

POPSIran: You Suck At Photoshop. Here's the caption on the NYT illustration above: In the four-missile version of the image released Wednesday by Sepah News, the media arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, two major sections (encircled in red) appear to closely replicate other sections (encircled in orange).

POPSArmageddon? "Another speaker, Rev. Dudley Rutherford, predicted that if Prop. 8 fails, the God-ordained institution of marriage would be destroyed; the engine of hate crimes legislation would be fueled, ultimately leading to it being illegal to read some sections of the Bible; the floodgates would be open to gay couples suing to force churches to marry them; and the polygamists would be next." Yes, folks we don't have a war against poverty anymore, we have more important things to focus on such as THE GAYS--who are causing the rising divorce rate among heterosexuals!

POPSThe Seven Sweetest Fictional Theme Parks Pt 1 (#7 - #5) Cartmanland, Horrorland from Goosebumps, and the Granddaddy of all fictional theme parks: Westworld! Part 2 gets better with Wally World, Thrill World, Itchy and Scratchy Land, and I am not going to tell you what Number One is.... Not even a hint.... I personally love theme parks and have been to some of the best: Disneyland, Six Flags, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Raging Waters, California Adventure, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios California, Palisades Park, and Astroworld... and the biggest of them all - Las Vegas! But if you like sci-fi or adventure thrillers pick up Dream Park by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes (or the 4 or so sequels), Utopia by Lincoln Childs, or Futureworld by Phillip J. Farmer. You will love them!

POPSIran Resolution must Change - Wexler "The language that is most disconcerting in the resolution is the third resolved clause, which demands that the president initiate among several things an "international effort to impose stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran." I firmly believe it was not the intention of the authors of this resolution to open the door to a US blockade or armed conflict with Iran. However, I fully understand and share the American public's mistrust of President Bush and his administration, which has abused its executive powers, willfully misled this nation into a disastrous war in Iraq and disturbingly continues to beat the Iran war drum."

POPSPrint Book Sales Down, Ebook Sales Up A sign of things to come, preferences aside. I sell both print and ebooks and just like the majority of my customers, I prefer the print format. However, when e-readers are more affordable and functional, I am pretty certain things will change. Additionally, every generation is increasingly computer literate, which will lead to greater sales of ebooks. I am currently educating myself in the creation and marketing of of dynamic ebooks so that I can be up to speed in the publishing field. If you have an interest in writing an ebook, let me know! Also, I'll have a new website soon that will sell both ebooks and ereaders (some new ones are on the horizon that will be more reader-friendly). What's your opinion? Can you adapt? Would you just read books on your computer or prefer a light-weight reader such as the Kindle or similar?

POPSWhite Supremacists Cheer Obama Convinced that all will see the inferiority of non-white people if Obama is elected. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Maybe Affirmative Action boosted him to the top of his Harvard Law class. Maybe it suppressed unfortunate McCain to the bottom of his US Naval Academy class.

POPSMedia Ignores Kucinich Impeachment Push The piece goes on: Kucinich support John Kusumi responded angrily at OpEdNews, writing, "The most important thing going happened on Monday night. An event that matters greatly to the course of history and to all Americans. Did you hear about it? Did ABC, CBS, and NBC break into normal programming with special coverage? Are there special alerts and bulletins on the cable news networks, where people can see them? No, no, and no!" I just checked CNN's front page -- no mention of Kucinich. I did learn that more people are sleeping at work . CNN; news you can't possibly use.

POPSTop 10 Most Evil Women The List is well thought out and reasoned. The historical perspective of all but the late 20th Century killers (Beverly Allitt - #7 and Katherine Knight - #2) has stood the test of time regardless of Holocaust deniers and Historical revisionists. A perusal of the comments on this page are an amazing look into or own collective psyche as people asked "Why not...?" on so many from Aileen Wournos to Madeline Albright! A sew wanted their ex-wives on the list! U dud bit clip much of the sections on the two Nazi women or Katherine Knight so I would not have to mark it as mature. It is a fascinating, yet disturbing read and the honorable mentions of Queen Elizabeth I and Lizzie Borden are appropriate.

POPSA Giant Telectroscope Now Links London and New York in real-time "When the sun illuminated the lens of the Telectroscope next to the Thames this morning, it was, of course, still nighttime in New York. So the screen inside the scope broadcast back only an empty sidewalk silently framed by the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. But then something miraculous occurred. A police officer and a street cleaner walked into the frame. Stopped. And waved. And all the credit goes to British artist Paul St George. If he had not been rummaging through great-grandpa Alexander's personal effects a few years ago, the Telectroscope might still exist only on paper, hidden away deep inside some old box."
