POPSIt's Monster Mash Time I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab began to rise And suddenly to my surprise He did the mash He did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash He did the mash It caught on in a flash He did the mash He did the monster mash From my laboratory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampires feast The ghouls all came from their humble abodes To get a jolt from my electrodes They did the mash They did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash They did the mash It caught on in a flash They did the mash They did the monster mash The zombies were having fun The party had just begun The guests included Wolf Man Dracula and his son The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five" They played the mash They p

POPSGlenn Beck's '9-12' Logo based on Communist and Socialist designs More: Turnout for the 9-12 Project's Saturday march on Washington was a bust; 30,000 protesters signed up in advance (MSNBC reporter David Shuster tweeted that D.C. park police called that figure "generous"). But even if three times that many actually showed up, the number would fall far short of the hundreds of thousands (and even millions) claimed to be planning to attend. Even in that reduced crowd, however, surely someone recognized how odd the right-wing gathering's left-wing logo was. Maybe Beck will explain. Sort of.

POPSIsrael Cruelty Towards Palestinian Children. The children are held in solitary confinement, in tiny cells, like the "Lockup", a cell 1.5m X 1.5m, or the "Closet", a cell the height of a person, in which one can stand but not sit or move, or the "Grave", a box that's closed from the top and measures 1m X 60 cm with a depth of about 80 cm. Good thing kids are flexible, eh? And the children are tried by a military tribunal. You can bet the Israelis don't treat their own kids like this. Wonder what kind of effect such treatment will have on this generation of Palestinian kids?

POPSKamikaze Planet Some as-yet-unknown manifestation of tidal forces could prolong the planet's life by as much as 500 million years. That's because the close and fierce interaction between two large and essentially gaseous bodies could produce turbulence or other effects that could somehow cancel out WASP-18b's orbital deterioration. Astronomers may know whether that's happening within a decade or so, Collier Cameron says. "It's the find of a lifetime," says astronomer Douglas Hamilton of the University of Maryland, College Park. "The beauty of this discovery is that we will be able to know within 5 to 10 years,"Hamilton says. "I think that it could go either way--which makes it very exciting." Very interesting!

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.

POPSHarry Potter: BoxOffice Smash gets Papal Blessing
The latest film in the series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" opened last night and made $22.2 million dollars (USD), setting a Hollywood record...and seems to have a chance to become one of the greatest movie money-makers of all time. One series of news reporting talks about this financial side of the show....this clip, though talks about a tangent of the Vatican approving of the movie, in contrast to previous church statements and statements by other Christian groups that the movie promotes "satanism," and fundamentalist preachers were out on the street burning books, etc. -- that Old Fashioned Religion. Although lots of news seems to avoid actual content and talks about cash or protest that revolve around a topic...there are some articles quoting folks who went to the show: They loved it! Good luck Harry, maybe someday too, you will get your first kiss, gain the gold, and get elected president. ...but watch out for that sequel.

POPS15 Horror Movies That Socialist Could Love Tales from the Hood: Three gang bangers from the hood try to rob a funeral home, and discover the undertaker is all lot more than they bargained for. The People Under The Stairs: A family of rich white people live locked up in a giant mansion in the middle of the ghetto. Neverwhere: It turns out that all those crazy homeless people that you see on the street and in the subway are not crazy at all. Candyman: The ghost of a black man murdered for falling in love with a white woman in the 19th century haunts the housing projects of Chicago There’s more. Pretty funny stuff. I always thought this type of horror film should be re-classified as comedy.

POPSWhat Did Rush Limbaugh Do After His Speech to CPAC? Consumed 14 gallons of high-octane gasoline to ready himself for cross-country run. Argued long and loud with penguins in Washington Zoo. Eventually adopted many of the birds' more salient political points. Flew over Georgetown District for one whole minute courtesy of own makeshift "human crossbow" device. Attempted to singlehandedly build Tower of Babel in National Mall using inferior "Mega Blocks" as opposed to far more acceptable "Lego" bricks. Rubbed himself provocatively against trees, traffic cops. Spun around in circle all night in attempt to reverse earth's rotation. Repeatedly bellowed, "Rush shall have thee!" to every attractive woman on sidewalk.
