POPSTruly Understanding Martin Luther King Jr. I love Sarah Vowell. Not because I'm an NPR nerd. Not because I'm a history nerd. Not even because I'm an assasination nerd. I have been accused of such vile things! But I protest! I love her because I'm an Emma Goldman nerd, in all her obscure anarchistic and humanistic glory. Emma Goldman perfectly balanced being a political figure with still being a living-and-breathing, loving-and-losing human being. Something that many professional activists (as well as historians) lose track of. I think Sarah Vowell introduces just enough levity to bring the force of irrefutable humanity (and its resultant moderation) to a field badly needing in perspective. Although she could take glib pot shots at the Christian right like Marueen Dowd, she has enough class instead to put it all in perspective and remind us that people who are different aren't necessarily deviant. She actually appears to have listened to what Dr. King says.

POPSReagan diaries speak volumes “Tomorrow, I stop being president,” Mr. Reagan wrote on Jan. 19, 1989, according to diaries in the custody of Nancy Reagan and edited by historian Douglas Brinkley for a book. Excerpts of the diaries, which Mr. Reagan kept during his two terms in office from 1981-1989, were published in the June issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which went on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday.

POPSAre Aliens from other worlds here? Some part of this are interesting. In particular listen to Ronald Regan's speech to UN and what he says. It is somewhere around 22 minutes. Makes one think and also wish that an Alien race would land here and maybe help bring a stop to all the fighting on earth!

POPSWe Almost lost Regan. So just five more minutes and Regan might have bit it, but you have to figure with Bush Sr. next in line this whole war on drugs stuff would probably have still happened.
