POPSHousewarming The guests didn't think it very odd that thier hosts asked them to remove thier shoes before they came in. It was later, when they greeted Sally, who still had her shoes, and spoke animatedly about an embarassing foot condition, that they began to suspect something was amiss. On a beer run, suspicions were confirmed. Joan's Espadrilles were bobbing in marinade with a pair of sneakers in the fridge. Heavy hors d'oeuvres indeed...

POPSThe crisis explained (quickly & w/ humour!!) "....Hank Paulson and his golfing buddies go to the track and lose the rent money playing the ponies, we should pay up?" Corrente - "UPDATE If you call Speaker Pelosi’s office at (202) 225-0100, a human answers! That’s what I just did at 11:17 PM EDT. So, if you want to share your views on the bailout, be polite!"

POPSPaul Newman, actor who personified cool, dies My deepest sympathy to his wife Joanne Woodward and the rest of his friends and family. "Sometimes God makes perfect people," fellow "Absence of Malice" star Sally Field said, "and Paul Newman was one of them." We will miss our friend Paul Newman, but are lucky ourselves to have known such a remarkable person," Robert Forrester, vice chairman of Newman's Own Foundation, said in a statement. "Our father was a rare symbol of selfless humility, the last to acknowledge what he was doing was special," his daughters said in a written statement. "Intensely private, he quietly succeeded beyond measure in impacting the lives of so many with his generosity." Newman is survived by his wife, five children, two grandsons and his older brother Arthur.

POPS Sally Quinn Does Complete U-turn on Sarah Palin Kudos to Sally Quinn for recognizing that she was wrong about Sarah Palin. So will other media types currently sneering at Palin, such as Campbell Brown, also experience a similar revelation? I'm not holding my breath but after Sally Quinn's dramatic turnaround I guess anything is possible. —P.J. Gladnick is a freelance writer and creator of the DUmmie FUnnies blog.

POPSLogicSaysUnigender ParentsNow Off Table Sudden reversal on left disparages earlier "Two Daddys" glorification. It will be hard for many of them, I'm sure, but I'm confident they will honorably step forward with testimonials and recantations regarding their previously hard-fought campaign to portray stay-at-home mothers as relics of days gone by; of the mother's brand of nurturing being of no importance unique from a man's.

POPSAutistic boy banned from church Mk 5:1 (GW) They arrived in the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 2 As Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man came out of the tombs and met him. The man was controlled by an evil spirit 3 and lived among the tombs. No one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain. 4 He had often been chained hand and foot. However, he snapped the chains off his hands and broke the chains from his feet. No one could control him. Mark 5:1-4 (GW) Mk 5:15 (GW) They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. The man was sitting there dressed and in his right mind. A church that one time practiced exorcism now can not deal with an autistic boy. When the church house looses its power to save those afflicted then it has become worthless only to be turned into a social club. Only the best dressed and socially acceptable may enter.

POPSRelentless Working Out One of the reasons we were happy to return to NZ from Australia was that we are not convinced that Australia has food security. More evidence
