POPSpoem: "What it feels like for [this] Girl." by nko More: … Because sometimes the looks are accompanied by suggestive facial contortions in my direction, sometimes by disgusting words (and I can usually tell when those are going to follow). But they don’t have to, for the look to be scary, or threatening, or simply just a way that I don’t want to be looked at. Am I overly sensitive? If it was nightime on a deserted street, you could see the validity of me, as a young woman, feeling uncomfortable walking by myself. But why are those feelings less valid during the day? What is so scary about the night? Do you think those people who make me feel uncomfortable at night magically disappear during the day? Do you think that they are only obvious monsters, like vampires or some other vulturing creature alive only at night? You don’t think that they also walk the streets during the day, or drive past me, honking the horn, waving their tongues at me as they stop at the red light? …

POPSMark Steyn: Can Obama Hold Teddy's Seat? nothings about America being ready for a light-skinned brown man with no trace of a Negro dialect. And now you're in some dystopian nightmare where Massachusetts is ready for a nude-skinned Brown man with no trace of a Kennedy dialect. How can this be happening? You don't need to have been in an actual coma. Subscribing to The Boston Globe, the unreadable and increasingly unread Massachusetts snooze-sheet, has much the same effect. As the house organ of a decrepit one-party state, the Globe endorsed Martha Coakley with nary a thought using its Sober Thoughtful Massachusetts Election Editorial template (" For Governor/Senator/Mayor/Whatever") and dutifully obscured what happened when one of the candidate's minders shoved to the sidewalk a reporter who had the lese majeste to ask an unhelpful question. If you're one of the dwindling band of Bay Staters who rely on the Globe for your news, you would never have known that a Massachusetts .....

POPSSea Organ Thanks to the Sea Organ music project, the inhabitants of Zadar have been restored once more to their relation with the sea. Chaotic reconstruction work undertaken in an attempt to repair the devastation Zadar suffered in the World War II turned much of the sea front into an unbroken, monotonous concrete wall. Now, the inviting white marble steps lead down to the water. Concealed under these steps, which both protect and invite, is a system of polyethylene tubes and a resonating cavity that turns the site into a huge musical instrument, played by the wind and the sea.

POPSG20 2009: Police Attack Students at University of Pittsburgh The campus was invaded by armored police officers. They threw actual tear gas into crowds of students. They SHOT students with rubber bullets. They beat slower-moving students with a baton. I saw a group of cyclists being herded down the sidewalk. A cop reached out and pushed a woman on a bike. She turned around and pushed her bike at the cop. Next thing we knew, he grabbed her by the face and slammed her down on the concrete.'

Of course, each side has a slight different emphasis of the details of events and this clip begins with dramatic overtures worth of "To Kill a Mockenbird," There were hundreds of MoveOn.org demonstrations that evening, with tens of thousands activist present but, of course, this is the one that makes the news. MoveOn.org, of course, condemns the violence.

POPSWannabe-Look Good, All Show, No Go Green Colleges
If after the headline, the story said 650 universities and colleges to offer 50% of their classes online and limit their sports programs to competing with institutions within 50 miles from each other, I might believe they were serious and you would probably agree. But since colleges and universities are businesses first, their signing letters of good intention are just about as effective as business and governments doing the same. And I should add, most of us just sign on as well and do noting to change our I'll-use-all-the-energy-I-can-afford life style. Example: A local USEPA office built next to the University of Cincinnati has no sidewalk access directly into its property. I have to walk in the driveway in competition with vehicles. They assume everyone will drive there, then park and walk. Grin. And Kroger Foods, assumes you will drive in park,walk a little way then ride around in a cart that makes it look like they are being nice to disabled people.
