POPSFarthering Our Grammar Skills People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Here is the first reader's comment: Sep 24 2009 7:27 AM The Tim people went FURTHER; not farther! It's funny to have a grammar-related article use a wrong word. (Funny, he used a semicolon AND an exclamation mark)

POPSApril .... You Know . Finally, ending up where we started with the car companies, I watched the press conference by the Obama-appointed Chairman of GM, Fritz Henderson claiming that GM would cover up to nine months of car payments for people who bought a GM vehicle then lost their job. . I thought that had to be an early April Fool's joke. Where would Fritz Henderson get the money to do that? I mean, that would be just about as funny as giving mortgages to people to buy houses who … . Oh. Wait a minute. You mean my tax dollars - already going to people who bought houses they couldn't afford - are now going to go to people who buy cars they can't afford? Looks like the joke's on me.

POPSMcCain Pokes Fun At Himself As Well As "That One" "This campaign needed the common touch of the working man. After all, it began so long ago with the heralded arrival of the man known to Oprah Winfrey as 'The One.' Being a friend and colleague of Barack I just called him 'That One,'" McCain said in reference to his bully-like tactics in the second presidential debate. "He doesn't mind at all. In fact, he even has a pet name for me: 'George Bush.'" In attendance Thursday night were such dignitaries as Sen. Hillary Clinton, Gov. David Paterson, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former Mayor Ed Koch. nd had some fun with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, host of "Hardball." "I told him, maverick I can do, but messiah is above my pay grade," McCain said. . . . . "So, you know I have fun with the media. We all know that the press is really an independent, civic-minded and non-partisan group … like ACORN. video @ wcbstv.com

POPSDrug Arrests Were Real; the Badge Was Fake Funny, amazing story. Yea, I know there's a down side to vigilante justice, though this vigilante didn't lynch or even physically harm anyone. Got to admire his spirit, if not his means. Apparently he was quite effective while it lasted.

POPSMan caught climbing NYTimes building I've got friends who work in that building, I wonder if they saw him! All things considered, with the ladder-like bars that go in front of the windows there, I don't know if this was that much of a challenge.

POPSKirkland, WA, Cottages This town on the east shore of Lake Washington borders Microsoft and seems to be home to some highly-paid employees. It's funny how residents are complaining that giant mansions are ruining their town, but little cottages would ruin it too!

POPSDiigo's WebSlides is live: embed a feed as an in-page Flash slideshow Not 100% functional yet (you have to supply a feed rather than a list of sites, which is supposedly coming), but it seems very cool and potentially very useful. Give it a feed URL and it will generate a clickable, interactive, live slideshow of all the pages in the feed, which can be annotated by anyone (not just Diigo members) with no downloads.

POPSNews of Yore This site is so funny! For example, Broadside entitled 'Sale of a Wife' begins: 'A full and particular Account of the Sale of a Woman, named Mary Mackintosh, which took place on Wednesday Evening, the 16th of July, 1828, in the Grass Market of Edinburgh, accused by her Husband of being a notorious Drunkard; with the Particulars of the bloody Battle which took place afterwards.' It was printed by W. Boag of Newcastle, and probably sold for one penny. Erk!
