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 "

POPSThe Lumberjack Song - in German ( from wiki ) A German version of "The Lumberjack Song" exists for which Palin learned the German text phonetically and the group of Mounties was replaced by a group of Austrian border guards. Instead of one of his parents, the German version credits the lumberjack's "Uncle Walter" as inspiring his passion for cross-dressing; this change was likely done simply for a rhyme with "Büstenhalter", the German translation for "bra", which caps the phrase preceding the "I wish I'd been a girlie..." line.

POPSNow the Bible is Too Liberal for Conservatives 4. Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop; defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle". 6. Accept the Logic of Hell: applying logic with its full force and effect, as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of Hell or the Devil. 7. Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning Among the words to be eliminated: "government." A conservative columnist at Beliefnet described the effort as "just crazy ... like what you'd get if you crossed the Jesus Seminar with the College Republican chapter at a rural institution of Bible learnin'.

POPSPolanski apologists in translation More: The victim doesn’t want to put herself or her family through this ordeal anymore - If I can intimidate my victim enough, I can get away with it!… He didn’t know she was thirteen - All girls should be required to tattoo their ages in a visible location in order to protect men from accidentally raping them. Also, it would have been perfectly okay for him to drug and rape her if she had been sixteen. Nobody would even care about this case if Polanski weren’t famous - Who cares about rape anyway? Sadly, there’s some truth to this last one. According to RAINN, 1 in 6 women will be raped in her lifetime. (My sense is that the numbers are even higher.) Yet only 6% of rapists will ever spend a day in jail. As a society, we don’t care. At least, we don’t care enough.
