POPSIs it not important? When I get divorce, and married again, and would be not happy, regardless of titanic efforts, may be it would be worth to consider to give it a try...;) Oh, no, I'd better divorce again. Family is sacred. When you have no commitment, you are free to do any experiment according your standards and values.

POPSCIA said/didn't say xxx about ???, Dems demand
A "hot topic," dispute has been floating around the mainstream news, perhaps as dangerous as the tip of an iceberg to our Titanic ship of state....if we ever find out what it's about. The Brits are scheduled to have another investitation into the lies used to mislead nations into the Iraq war but I understand it's going to be a Secret Hearing. Some Brits protest this and I urge them on even more. This current USA brouhaha about what our current CIA Director said....or what he's alleged to have said....which is now denied by CIA PR official...about a topic that can not be revealed, apparently indicating there was some CIA misleading...but which is also now denied, all about something nobody knows.... It does remind one of the classic: "Who's on First," comedy skit (some baseball familiarity useful)...but the essential idea is not knowing what is being talked about because all the answers are questions, lack of info and timeline confusion. What? you might ask, is going on?

POPSWise Ones Whoever thought these ones up, needs to be put in a padded cell, to come up with a few more. A lot of very funny nonsense. An enjoyable read.

POPSExecs don't get it... As much as I dislike gov mettling directly in the auto industry -- sounds like Wagoner just doesn't get it. If he wanted to save the company -- as opposed to his nice salary -- he'd have gotten a lot more serious about restructuring.

POPSMedia Hype on Climate Change Is Nothing New "America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-year Rise" stated an article in the New York Times on March 27, 1933. The media of yesteryear was also not above injecting large amounts of fear and alarmism into their climate articles. An August 9, 1923 front page article in the Chicago Tribune declared: "Scientist Says Arctic Ice Will Wipe Out Canada." The article quoted a Yale University professor who predicted large parts of Europe and Asia would be "wiped out" and Switzerland would be "entirely obliterated." December 29, 1974 New York Times article on global cooling reported that climatologists believed "the facts of the present climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would assign near certainty to major crop failure in a decade."

POPS "And The Band Played On" many of them unfilled. You are not a ship’s officer. As a matter of fact, technically speaking you are not even on the ship’s payroll. All had been forced to take a pay cut, from six pounds ten shillings down to four pounds, and their 10 shilling uniform allowance – that was about two dollars and fifty cents a month – had been cut out completely as exorbitant. When these men complained about the pay cut to the White Star Line, which owned Titanic, they were told that hence forth they would not even be paid the token shilling that made them crewmembers. They would be carried simply as Second Class Passengers. And that’s what they were on that morning. Underpaid, overworked, second-class passengers who had every right to try and gain a place among the 338 men that survived to tell the story, a story ennobled by the universal praise from the survivors for these eight men who did not run from a duty that existed not on paper but only in their own magnificent hearts.
