POPSGhost of Dead Photographer Haunts Flickr He writes in chilling, first person tone and in the past tense: ----- He also encourages other dead people to join the "Dead Photographers Club" (which currently has just 4 members). There are more pictures at the source. :lol:

POPSHe Said He's Still Heading To California Tomorrow — "I've got my ticket!" But at the Orange County Republican dinner Saturday night, Rudy made a telling quip: "People pay a lot of money to spend the month of Florida in January." When the political science classes ponder the remarkable collapse of the Giuliani '08 campaign, they might come to think of it as a $40 million Florida vacation.

POPS"Nothing to do With War" At one point, they had to shut down a house full of prostitutes, chucking out one john as he was half-dressed in the middle of an appointment. Other stories are more touching, like the family that wanted to personally thank one of Crider's platoons for making the neighborhood safe enough for their son to get married, preparing a feast of chicken, rice and cake for the men. There was also an older lady who proudly showed Captain Nicholas M. Cook, one of the better-known American soldiers in the neighborhood, a photograph of herself decorated by the minister of defense under the old regime. She had been one of the only female generals under Saddam but was too afraid to even display the photograph in the privacy of her living room. But she felt secure with Cook. Says Cook, "we've become so close to all the families. There are some families I'm genuinely going to miss." His unit will be going home in April.

POPSA Literary Perspective on the Subjective Nature of Memory I am consistently impressed with Hungarian literature, and the language is moving up my "Must Learn" list. Nadas Peter seems like a particularly relevant novelist today, in an era where facts, and even recent history are extraordinarily maliable. The most amazing part is the way in which the "free" press has been not only complacent but complicit in these revisions. More than any time in the recent passed, these days we need to be reminded that human beings are not inheriently empirical creatures. Emotions and perceptions; desires and frustarations; these are the key architects of our collective memories.

POPSBush to Bomb Iran? Not Again!!! Do we really need this - again? The pay-off for such actions will not benefit the average man or woman in the street, anywhere in the world. Politicians and big business win out again.
