POPS Denver Protest With Pig Roast Why bother? It’s for posterity’s sake. For the historical record. And, hopefully, it will spur others to move from the phones and computers to the streets. Community organizing helped propel Barack Obama to the White House. It could work for fiscal conservatism, too.

POPSHolding Barack Obama Accountable In Denver The movement continues in Denver tomorrow. Colorado Americans for Prosperity is organizing a protest countering President Obama’s visit to the city to sign the porkulus legislation at an exclusive, invitation-only event at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in City Park. Protesters will gather at the west steps of the Capitol (Lincoln Street, between 14th and Colfax) from 11:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mountain time. I am making good on my promise to deliver a roasted pig to the event. ’ve heard from readers in Nashville and NYC who are trying to organize events of their own. What are you doing? From the Boston Tea Party…to the Denver Pig Roast. Show Schmucky and the generational thieves you care, you count, and you’re ready to move from melting the phones to pounding the pavement for fiscal responsibility. Thanks to Zac Petersen for the photos & blogger Liberty Belle — to get the ball rolling.

POPSNow Hindus are Offended Oh dear. Now the world's Hindus had their feeling hurt by a Mike Myers's movie. From all accounts it boomed at the box office but none the less Hindus are claiming that teens... Never mind. This is so stupid that I can't even muster outrage over it. These nut jobs have surpassed themselves.

POPSTV Show seeks to Humanize Arab-Israelis More: But "Arab Work" is more than a wacky sitcom about life for the Arab minority in Israel. It's a risky attempt to use slapstick humor to lampoon both sides in this deadly, divisive arena. "It's not perfect, but under the right circumstances it can be for Israeli-Arabs what 'The Cosby Show' was for blacks in America," said Vered Livne, the executive director of Agenda, an Israeli media strategy firm. "It has a chance to lower the barriers that Israeli Jews put up when they hear an Arab voice." Recent studies have found that discrimination against Arab-Israelis is on the rise. In one poll, 60 percent of Jewish Israelis said they felt hatred or hostility when they heard someone speaking Arabic. Three-quarters said they wouldn't live in the same buildings with Arabs. More than half said Arabs and Jews should be separated in places of entertainment.

POPSAbbott & Costello: Who's on first? (4 Videos) :D "Who's On First?" is descended from turn-of-the-century burlesque sketches like "The Baker Scene" (the shop is located on Watt Street) and "Who Dyed" (the owner is named Who). By the early 1930s, a "Baseball Routine" had become a standard bit for burlesque comics across the country. After Abbott and Costello teamed up, they adopted the routine and kept adding to it until it became the team's signature skit. (They even copyrighted it.) Below is a transcript of what is considered their finest rendition of the routine, from their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties. In 1956, "Who's On First?" was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. In 1999 Time magazine voted it the Best Comedy Sketch of the 20th Century. members.aol.com/ACQtrly/who.html See also this video (Who is the Chinese president). :D

POPSTheiy're laughing about the one who symbolizes switzerland Wilhelm Tell, man or symbol, was the one who said no to injustice. Now that they're laughing about their own roots, it's no surprise to see justice vanish in switzerland. There are too many Gesslers, little vampires which do not respect human dignity in switzerland. They present a shiny happy switzerland to the foreigners. But take a closer look and see the dirt hidden behind the gates.

POPSDo Dogs Have a Sense of Humour? I don't know, this seems to be another incidence of applying human characteristics to dogs. Also in the article, it says, "Humorous behavior may be repeated because of the positive reaction received. In this case, you can’t say the dog has a sense of humor, but is acting on positive reinforcement." I think this may be closer to the truth.

POPSAfter 60 years, Dali's animated cartoon was born 等了60年的达利的动画-destino Salvador Dalí（1904-1989），萨尔瓦多·达利。你是否也是通过他开始认识西方现代艺术的呢？在但是去看那些现代艺术，总觉得印象派看上去很传统，都是静物，立体派以及其前后的那些流派让人看不懂，而超现实主义比如达利和马格利特，相对更能让你多看几眼。这个名为destino的七分钟动画片开始于1946年，完成于2003年，现在在英国Tate Modern（泰德现代博物馆）在以Dalí & Film 为主题的展览上初次公演。因为达利非常热衷于电影，他也是当时那些认为电影将会成为创造力表达的重要媒介的先锋之一，年轻时喜欢好莱坞喜剧，比如Harry Langdon, Charlie Chaplin和Buster Keaton，他认为这种大众娱乐是那些自负的高雅文化的解毒剂，展览还展出他的其他大量作品（绘画，照片，线稿，电影），还可以看到他和其他著名电影人的合作，比如Luis Buñuel（著名的UN CHIEN ANDALOU–《一条叫安达鲁的狗》，相提并论的还有后来者–Pink Floyd–The Wall，如果你看过，可以从这两个动画中找到熟悉的感觉。）, Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock 和 the Marx brothers。这个让人等了60年的destino是由Disney来完成的，在上世纪40年代因为太奇特和制作昂贵而被Disney搁置，知道7年前被Roy Disney（Walt Disney的侄子）重新拾起并制作完成（详细见这）。两个视频为预告片。
