POPSUS food stamp list tops 34 million for first time Why work??? Food stamps and Obama's healthcare coming so what's the point? I am confident that there are very needy people who benefit from this program but I am convinced that it has gone to the dogs and is beyond abused. Several years I ago I stood behind a woman in the grocery line who had several little ones (and some young adult males) with her. She used her food stamps to purchase milk, bread, cereal, soups, etc... while with her money she purchased beer, ice cream, pastries, shrimp,etc... I was so disheartened and realized that the system was broken. No accountability, no oversight; they are robbing the *system* blind. 34 million Americans do NOT need food stamps; they need incentive and motivation.

POPS“Can’t we all just get along?”
But apparently Gates still doesn’t get it. If he wants a New Yorker article and a PBS documentary out of this, he’s going to have to dig deep and challenge his own thinking on race relations. A simple misunderstanding and flared tempers lacks a little umph and isn’t going to cut it. Hard to get indignant about that. But I dunno, Professor Gates, there could be something in this idea that we are entering a new phase in race relations, some new ground you can chart out. Maybe we’re approaching a place in this country where no one can make immediate assumptions, throw around accusations, and make demands anymore. Where there has to be some room for nuance, understanding. And the recognition that racism is a two-way street. Think about it. Obama, too, who also called this a “teachable moment.” Absolutely. If he’s willing to listen, and learn. Turns out this is not so much about race as it is about being civil. In the transcendant words of Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along?"

POPSObama tells Muslims ‘’Americans are not your enemy’ How about we invite them all over for pot roast and beer, that ought to win them over. We can play one of our favorite party games, we’ll be the cowboys and you guys can be the Indians. Does anyone remember the movie Mars Attacks? The naivete of that president nearly killed us all. Guess I’m feeling a tad bit cynical this morning. Seriously, I hope it works but I won’t hold my breath.

POPSChinese Crew Fends Off Somali Pirates The Global Times newspaper, a tabloid run by the Communist Party’s People’s Daily, said yesterday two destroyers and a large-sized depot ship would set sail for the region after Christmas to defend Chinese shipping. The first tour of duty would be for three months, it said. According to Andrew Mwangura of the East African Seafarers Assistance programme, there have been 124 incidents of piracy off Somali this year and some 60 successful hijacks. Nearly 400 people and 19 ships are being held along the coast, including a Saudi supertanker with 2 million barrels of oil and a Ukrainian cargo ship with 33 tanks.

POPSFacebook in a Crowd A nice anacdote story. Technology ,also, is not a concept to be entertained by and not be changed by. This story clearly reflects a transition period, where one uses a new concept with an old habit. It doesn't work, it never works. We are users of new concepts and as such should be open to changes of how we perceive reality and ourselves.

POPSOn A Pint Sized Stage Later, Seán's brother Gerry, who runs the pub, tells me an old Paddy Coyne's story. Long ago, there was apparently a "sign rivalry" between Mannion's in Clifden, Hamilton's in Leenane, and Paddy Coyne's in Tullycross, all of which were not only pubs but general merchants and undertakers. Mannion's traded under the slogan "For All Your Needs, from Maternity to Eternity". So, Hamilton's went one better: "For All Your Needs, from Womb to Tomb". Paddy Coyne and Sons thought hard, and eventually settled on their own slogan. "Paddy Coyne's - For All You Wish For, from Erection to Resurrection." Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that there's storytelling going on here.

POPSMonarchists upset by beer ad Dickheads have nothing better to do than get paranoid about a sign. And to make bigger dickheads of themselves, they act as if it matters. Like a beggars spot. Everyone is giving them 50c and telling them to ring someone who cares.

No wonder you always go home alone. * Sign over mirror in Men's restroom, Ed Debevic's, Beverly Hills, CA. What are you looking up on the wall for?
