POPSGorilla poses as prostitute: ACORN tells it to pose as illegal alien instead The "gorilla" responded in perfect English: "Do you take Visa or Mastercard?" "Yes, but not American Express, Diner's Club or personal checks," Riola told the undercover reporter. Digital video was obtained by ABSNN that showed the ACORN staffer pocketing a large wad of US currency, after counting it several times. She then proceeded to fill out the paperwork. "I'll sign it for you, since gorillas can't write, but that will cost an additional $395, monkey," she said. The Crockashit News Network reporter paid the additional money and asked for a receipt, but was denied one due to the fact that ACORN had no such item in stock. "You'll just have to trust us, sugar. Come back in two weeks for your money, less of course, our 58% fee. Now, get your monkey ass outta here,' Riola told the "gorilla."

POPSJapanese Town Starts Dolphin Hunt Under Global Spotlight
The film shows angry confrontations between residents and the lead activist, Ric O'Barry, who in the 1960s trained dolphins for the US hit television show "Flipper" but now argues the animals should be free to roam the oceans. The film won numerous international prizes, including the Sundance Festival's audience award, and last month led the Australian city of Broome to announce it would cancel it sister-city relationship with Taiji. "Dolphins are a large-brain creature," O'Barry, 69, told AFP during a recent return visit to Japan. "They are highly intelligent, they are self-aware, like gorillas and humans. I nursed them, I watched them give birth. "And for me, to kill them, is extremely, extremely..." He paused, then simply added: "I don't see the purpose." In Taiji, where about 3,700 people live, the global uproar stirred by "The Cove" has met with equal incomprehension -- and anger.

POPSTraumatized Gorilla Who Carried Around Her Dead Baby's Body Gives Birth to Healthy Infant "Gana looks very happy," she told The Associated Press. Zuehlke said the zoo probably would name the baby Claudia " after Claudia Kleinert, a German television weather forecaster and presenter. The zoo asked Kleinert to be the baby's godmother because "she showed enormous interest in the mother's last baby, which ended up dying tragically," Zuehlke said. Visitors already can see the new arrival, one of the zoo's six gorillas. The baby is Gana's third. Her first child, a female born in 2007, now lives at the Stuttgart zoo.

POPSTime for Obama to fire Hilary? "Right now, it looks like Obama is going to be following the same policies of George W. Bush, especially on the Cuba issue. His campaign slogan should be changed to "compromise that you can believe in." He may turn out to be another mediocre president, made with the same mold as Bill Clinton. In my opinion, FDR was the last "good" Democratic Party president. Every one else has been a faithful server of corporate interests. In Honduras, his State Department, headed by Hillary, continues to obfuscate and not call what happened there a coup d'etat. That way Uncle Sam can continue to provide economic and military aid to the business oligarchy that is behind General Vazquez and his gorillas. What a great disappointment Obama is turning out to be. If he continues traveling the same path, many people will stay home on November 2012."
