POPSits baacckk..eurovision i have a confession....we have a little get together each year and watch this... Italy has not participated in the contest since 1997 because of the lack of interest from RAI and from the Italians themselves...picture 1958 - Domenico Modugno and Nel blu, dipinto di blu (Volare) - in the US, where it has become commonly known as Volare, and got two Grammy Awards.

POPSIn God We Fight "Maybe it’s time for religious Americans to “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” — and for all Americans to reaffirm our commitment to the first national motto: E Pluribus Unum, out of many, one."

POPSOnly Pol Pot has a worse Human Rights Record?!
No country with such a record, whether first or 50th worst in the world, can credibly protest a boycott. Apartheid South Africa provides another useful standard. How does Israel's behavior toward Palestinians compare to former South Africa's treatment of blacks? It is similar or worse, say a number of South Africans, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, U.N. special rapporteur in the occupied territories John Dugard, and African National Congress member and government minister Ronnie Kasrils.

POPSPIPE ORGAN LAW TOOT VS. CON ED I can believe that! A great many of those pipes are hand carved out of exotic woods and warp easily. You don't just call your local organ tuner and have him order parts from the factory! Depending on the extent of the damage, a million sounds like a pretty good deal!
