POPSFox News isn't even pretending anymore The boldest innovator, however, has been Fox News. Since President Obama’s election, the cable news channel has dropped all but the barest pretense of objectivity. Billing itself as “fair and balanced,” Fox has turned itself into what White House communications director Anita Dunn recently called “the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.” Actually, that’s an extremely polite way of putting it. It’s closer to Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth.” Fox openly promotes “Tea Parties” and other political demonstrations; it portrays every perceived White House defeat, such as Chicago’s failure to secure the 2016 Olympic Games, as a victory for something called “Fox Nation.” “Doublethink,” Orwell called it: the ability to “hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them.” So it is with “Fox Nation” and “fair and balanced.”

POPSSecond Thoughts I went back and re-read what I had written. And I listened for far too long to the right wing hate machine who did what they could to crap all over Barack's big day. Did I -- and others on the left -- do the same? We are weary, weary of war. Obama is moving too slow for most of us -- but he needs to know we are with him and we stand beside him as he attempts to turn eight years of sheer madness around. Who could do that in nine months? Superman? Thor? Mitch McConnell? Instead of waiting to see what the president is going to do, we all need to be pro-active and push the agenda that we want to see enacted. on't abandon the best hope we've had in our lifetime for change. Now for the tasks ahead. We need you to do all that you promised to do. We need it. The world needs it. Fred (that's Norwegian for "Peace") ---- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O7PnvVgQvA

POPSMilk? It does a body good? Not for most of the world. this is actually a really interesting piece on Milk- seems like it's practically Superman-ish of us if your body is actually friendly to the idea of milk intake (based on stats around the world) this def falls under the 'i learned something new today' category.

POPSTop 10 John Williams Movie Tunes There is no doubt that John Williams has composed some of the most recognized movie scores of our lifetime. Moviegoers of the last four decades have only to hear a few notes of any of Williams' scores to know the movie. Some of us can even place the scene, characters and describe the action.

POPSZoom Out A recurring theme in SciFi. My first remembrance was a Superman comic where Superman, using his microscopic vision saw entire worlds in the atoms at the top of a flag pole perched on the Empire State Building. That must have been 50 years ago!

POPSA bridge and not a goal "The Brücke approach to art lacked the structural clarity of Cubism or maybe any structure at all. But what it lacked in form it more than made up for in freedom and attitude. " Beautiful art.

POPSRush To The President: "DEBATE ME" If Rush really is the drug-addled gasbag the left makes him out to be, then the Obamassiah with his silver tongue and glistening bronze pecs should have no problem besting him in a debate. Right, Obama culties? Your Obamassiah should have nothing to fear from Rush, should he? I mean, surely Obama would welcome the opportunity to clean the clock of his most influential heretic? Right? These Chicago thugs were counting on Rush folding faster than Superman on laundry day… like their Republican opponents. The last thing they expected was for Rush to challenge him right back. "But I have an idea. If these guys are so impressed with themselves, and if they are so sure of their correctness, why doesn't President Obama come on my show? We will do a one-on-one debate of ideas and policies. Now, his people in this Politico story, it's on the record." http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_030409/content/01125106.guest.html
