POPSSeattle Translation Workers Remember Richard Feynman According to Seattle Translation workers, he believed the day would soon come. Of course, today consumer electronic enthusiasts are struggling to fill up their latest iPod or similar mp3 player with thousands of songs, videos and pictures that all fit snuggly in their pocket, gym bag or purse. While people are no longer interested in storing the Encyclopedia Britanica in a small space, language translation workers will certainly see new opportunities for these types of advancements

POPSJust an orchid There are so many "little" things in life that make me smile. Orchids are one of them. Some of these flowers remind me of my grandmother. She used to wear an orchid every Easter. RIP grandmother. I love you so very much.

POPSThe guy who runs a nightly 'Pinheads' segment lectures us about 'the politics of ridicule' And then this: Then he brings on Bernard Goldberg to commiserate about the horrible state of American discourse: Goldberg: There is a slow poison running through the veins of this country. And our country can't stay great if that kind of poison continues to flow through the culture, it just can't. Quoth the author of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America -- the book that inspired Jim David Adkisson to mow down churchgoers in Knoxville last year. O'Reilly, of course, caps it off by finishing his show, as he does every night, with a name-calling "Pinheads and Patriots" segment. Last night there were several pinheads, including Code Pink, but he saved his special vial of ridicule for Janeane Garofalo, who he named the "Ultimate Pinhead." (And remember the night before, when he made it doubly personal, after having one of those Fox ambush crews stalk her?)

POPSWho's the Pinhead? Jessica Alba pwns BillO the Clown Ms. Alba statement (in part): "Last week, Mr. Bill O'Reilly and some really classy sites (i.e.TMZ) insinuated I was dumb by claiming Sweden was a neutral country. I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously people...it's so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland. Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_during_World_War_II if you want to see what I was referring to. I appreciate the name calling and the accurate reporting. Keep it up!!"

POPSScientists plan to ignite tiny man-made star From the article: "Scientists at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in Livermore, nestled among the wine-producing vineyards of central California, will use a laser that concentrates 1,000 times the electric generating power of the United States into a billionth of a second. The result should be an explosion in the 32ft-wide reaction chamber which will produce at least 10 times the amount of energy used to create it. " Roorooo!

POPSGeorge of Arabia What ever happened to all that retoric about "FREEDOM"... Saudi Arabia is the leader of the NON_FREE, SICK SOCIETY that is gushing money and trampling on any sense of freedom or human dignity. I hear that Bush has invited the King to his ranch for a little barbaque. Just a friendly kind of gesture. Right now I can't figure out who is sicker....them or us!
