POPSGeorge Carlin: The Last Words You Can't Say on Television Check out the NPR interview (laugh-filled half hour) link--very funny I really miss GC...I can almost hear his voice sneering and railing at the hypocrisy of the Obama escalation and embrace of the MIC. "That motherfucking twit Obummer is actually falling for the cocksuckers in the Pentagon's shit-licking perpetual war agenda..." or something funnier and more cutting, I'm sure.

POPSLAO | Abundant CA rains bring more than moisture to OC coast Normally, this would not be a key topic to be amplified, but these are unusual times. Squid is a popular food in many parts of the world. In many of the languages around the Mediterranean sea, squid are referred to by a term related to the Italian "calamari" (singular "calamaro"), which in English has become a culinary name for Mediterranean dishes involving squid, especially fried squid ("fried calamari"). ___ SOURCE | http://npr.org.twi.bz/4 ___ SEARCH | http://google.twi.bz/Oz

POPSFreedom of Speech for Corporations but not Employees "I've been getting calls from people for 20 years who've been abused in all sorts of ways," Maltby said. "When I tell them, 'Sorry, you don't have any legal rights,' they literally don't believe me," Maltby said. As bad as things are, they are going to get worse. All new cell phones are now required by federal law to come equipped with the Global Positioning System (GPS). Some employers who issue company cell phones use this technology to track employees during their private lives, often in secret. Recently developed genetic tests allow employers to determine whether you carry the genes linked to breast cancer, Alzheimer's, and other serious illnesses. Employers are starting to use this knowledge to keep people out of the workforce

POPSState of the Union Cards Bingo Game A one of a kind political game from Irregular Times - it's State of the Union Bingo, with a grid that contains a number of common political phrases and current policy cliches that President Obama is likely to utter.

POPS'It's Not About Me' -- Wink, Wink Consider this sampling: --On Feb. 15, 1990, after becoming "the first black president of the influential Harvard Law Review," Obama said, "I realized my election was not about me, but it was about us, about what we could do and what we could accomplish." --On Nov. 2, 2004, when Obama visited the campus of the University of Illinois during his campaign for U.S. senator, he said: "Ultimately, this election is not about me. ... It's about the willingness of our citizens to get engaged and get involved." --On Dec. 11, 2006, in a speech in New Hampshire, Obama said, "It's not about me." But, according to an NPR reporter, "it really is all about him." --On Dec. 10, 2007, Obama said, "This campaign is not about me; it is about the hundreds of volunteers ... in Rhode Island ... and the millions of people across the country who want change we can believe in."

POPSAir America Crashes, Burns — Will Anyone Besides Franken and Maddow Notice?
and still slants to the left, as evidenced by their recent “Learn to Speak Tea Bag” video. Posted by Dana Loesch Jan 21st 2010 Malloy : Rush, Sean, Glenn, and Bill 'Bombed' America on 9/11 By Tim Graham Wed, 01/20/2010 Radical-left talk show host Mike Malloy went on a tear again on Tuesday night as election returns poured in from Massachusetts. Malloy was blunt about the voters. To him, they said: "We want a theocratic madman as our senator." But Malloy really started swinging as he noted the headline that Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia was having talks with Rupert Murdoch about News Corp investing in his Rotana Media company. That story led to this rant about conservative talkers being the real terrorists on 9/11 (Listen for yourself here): You crazy sons-of-bitches, you right-wingers. Do you not understand that the people you hold up as heroes bombed your goddamn country? Do you not understand that Glenn Beck and Sean ....

POPSOnly an idiot would compare these two situations What kind of damaged mind compares the very real , and very violent ongoing murder attempts against courageous counter-jihadist cartoonist Kurt Westergaard-- to the whiny baseless accusations of an NPR gasbag? People have a right to be angry about their taxes being used to fund Liberal biased garbage like this, especially in a time of such high unemployment and recession. Also--I find his 'death threat' claims to be quite hard to believe, unlike the very real hell Kurt Westergaard is living. Westergaard,(along with his 5 year old granddaughter ) only just narrowly escaped being hacked to death by an axe wielding Somali Muslim less than 2 weeks ago: there is NO comparison between these two situations. However, it is a valuable glimpse into the twisted minds that would see it like this. Sick.

Shop Class as Soulcraft brings alive an experience that was once quite common, but now seems to be receding from society: making and fixing things. Those of us who sit in an office often feel a lack of connection to the material world, a sense of loss, and find it difficult to say exactly what we do all day. For anyone who felt hustled off to college, then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents, Shop Class as Soulcraft seeks to restore the honor of the manual trades as a life worth choosing. ___ http://www.matthewbcrawford.com/ ___ http://altacities.com

POPSVictoria Kennedy My late husband, Ted Kennedy, was passionate about health-care reform. It was the cause of his life. He believed that health care for all our citizens was a fundamental right, not a privilege, and that this year the stars -- and competing interests -- were finally aligned to allow our nation to move forward with fundamental reform. He believed that health-care reform was essential to the financial stability of our nation's working families and of our economy as a whole. @lta | Ted Kennedy http://nytimes.twi.bz/ld @lta | Victoria Kennedy http://google.twi.bz/xs
