POPSBoycott of Fox Glenn Beck Show Pure Ratings Gold By contrast, when Bill Maher was hosting "Politically Incorrect," his comments about the relative courage of the terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, set off a firestorm. Several big companies including Fedex and Sears Holding yanked their ads, and some affiliates refused to run the show. It eventually dwindled away and was canceled early the next year, although Maher himself now has a popular program on ad-free HBO.

POPSEmerald Triangle Anything But 'Green' Humboldt County in California is one of the most-corrupt locales. Its county seat, Eureka, is the 71st most-violent city in the United States -- and its population is LESS than 30,000.

The illicit trade of marijuana has a lot to do with this county's corruption.

POPSInnovation That Genuinely Gives Something Back to the Planet I originally was clipping this for a reply to a comment on the Jarawa people and the tourist resort that the developers would like to see pushed through. We have to start thinking outside the box. Eco-tourism still adds to the diminishment of fragile habitat areas. This and the clip about "Greening the Deserts" are signs that people are implementing out of the box ideas that ultimately give back more than we take from this planet.
