POPSPeople dressed as sci-fi characters Awesome! That guy really looks like Jean-Luc Picard. I wonder why the family with the Klingon dad had the curtains pulled? I like the one with the cat on the hearth-rug, too. And the kid Darth Vader.

POPSWanna Buy A Death Star? • Shipping that to space: $95 million per tonne: $12.79 septillion in transport. • Add air, which will require 8.23 quintillion cubic meters of Nitrogen, and 1.65 quintillion cubic meters of oxygen, for a total delivery cost of $2.81 septillions and $212.46 quintillion. The total: $15,602,022,489,829,821,422,840,226.94. That will only get you the very basic model of Death Star, no options, no GPS, no radio, no leather heated seats, no mega-laser to obliterate planets, no turbolaser towers, no computer systems, no miscellaneous life support systems, no crew quarters, no turbo-elevators, no energy generators, no showers, no air conditioning, no Darth Vader's jacuzzi, no Emperor's home theater system, and no bloody canteen. And don't get me started on the cost of all the lunch trays and the constant supply of penne all'arrabbiata and peas needed for all the Death Star personell. Read the full thing at the source!

POPSAnd Didn't Your Brother Do Worse To You As A Child? I will spare you the gruesome details of the CIA's other comical interrogation techniques and leap directly to the penultimate "torture" in their arsenal: the caterpillar. In this unspeakable brutality, a harmless caterpillar is placed in the terrorist's cell. Justice Department lawyers expressly denied the interrogators' request to trick the terrorist into believing the caterpillar was a "stinging insect." Human rights groups have variously described being trapped in a cell with a live caterpillar as "brutal," "soul-wrenching" and, of course, "adorable."

POPSIt's Not the Economy, Stupid -- It's Limbaugh In the waning, pre-TARP days of the Bush administration, the national deficit stood at about $500 billion. A panicked Bush and Congress then voted for the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program to "bail out" the banks. Obama signed a $789 billion economic "stimulus" package, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced a $2.5 trillion "rescue plan" for the financial system. Even CNBC's Jim Cramer, a former Obama supporter, called the administration's approach the "greatest wealth destruction I've seen by a president." Blame Rush Limbaugh. Obama, as part of his $3.6 billion budget, intends to spend -- strike that -- "invest" on things such as creating "green jobs," combating the effects of "climate change," health care and enabling "homeowners" to remain in their unaffordable homes. How does the President intend to pay for all these things? He wants to tax "the rich" -- those earning $250,000 or more

POPSRevenge of the Halloween Masks Directions: 1. Choose the mask you want to print out on a color printer. There are two sizes -- one that prints out on a standard size sheet of paper (8½x11) and a large version (11x17) for printers that can print that size paper. If you are unsure whether your printer can print the large size, ask an adult to help (and join in on the fun!). 2. Once printed, carefully use scissors to cut out eye holes and (optional) nose holes -- so you can see and breathe once the mask is on. 3. With a hole puncher, punch out side holes centered at either side of the mask. 4. Hold the mask up to your face. If the eye holes are too small for you to see through them, enlarge them cutting around them with scissors (you may want an adult to help you with this). 5. Next, cut two pieces of string, each approximately six inches long. Tie or tape each piece in each side hole you made in Step 3. 6. Tie the ends together at the back of your head to hold the mask on.
