POPSAmerican with AK-47 says he fights off attack in Kabul... Interesting article. I'm sure the media will at some point determine if this story is true since those who escaped have been evacuated. He is 62 and according to his father had fought with the Afghans against the Russians so he's been there quite some time.

POPSComplaining about sexism means you're a "ranty-pants"? More: You don't have to be anti-sex, or even anti-porn, to chafe at a dominant aesthetic that just happens to play right into the pocketbooks of the beauty and anti-aging industries. Our cultural preference for skinny, nubile women is at least as much about money as it is about male desire — and it's about the least taboo thing I can imagine. Rebelling against a system that actually tells men what to like — as well as, of course, telling women how to be — actually seems kind of sexy. And refusing to do what you're told — in this case, to quietly accept sexism so as not to seem "strident" — can be exciting. So rather than reading Turner's new column…as the blotter of the fun police, I'm going to think of it as a dispatch from the fun radicals, a textual Molotov tossed into the edifice of institutionalized misogyny. And I'm going to enjoy it.

POPSBahamas Proposal to Ban Marital Rape Sparks Controversy Sandra Dean-Patterson, director of a nonprofit that aides abuse victims continues to speak out in support of the bill. She told the Associated Press that the bill "says that our nation will no longer condone violence in the family. If you have to force your husband or your wife to be sexual, something is wrong with the relationship." *applauds*

POPSAmericans are being set up
All his hate-mongering should create enough hatred among some duped followers so they would become violent, riot, murder politicians or ordinary African or Jewish Americans. The FBI then would react on this “hatred”, and the new American hate-crime bill would give them the power to arrest everybody in the citizens´opposition, even those who are non-violent, even those who are not racist at all, but are opposed to the current corruption in the political and economic system. This isn´t a new tactic, obviously. Under COINTELPRO in the 1960s and early 70s, the FBI used a variety of dirty tricks against its targets including wiretapping and assassination — as well as the use of agents provocateurs — in coordination with state and local police… The FBI, acting as the establishment’s political secret police, continues to undermine political movements the elite consider dangerous and a threat to their control and influence. Members of the patriot movement in particular

POPSAttorney: FBI trained NJ blogger to incite others So if this turns out to be true, then there are 2 crazy things happening with the FBI actually spying on US people (right wingers) and also using the blogsphere via a hired gun, to incite riots, responsive postings, etc. IF it is true and FBI is doing that, you have to woder what other 3 letter agencies are doing to shape people's opinions via New Media and psychological mechanisms. Hmmm... of course sales and marketing does that all the time in the real world, right ;-)

POPSIceland in HDR (20 photographs) “From an early age I enjoyed paging through books about art and admired the paintings of many painters, ranging from the renaissance masters to contemporaries as well as the few painters working in my home town of Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland. Nowadays I find inspiration for my photography in the works of painters like Edvard Munch, Odd Nerdrum, Lucian Freud and J.M.V. Turner, as well as in many of the classic and contemporary photographers.“ Ásmundur E. Þorkelsson
