POPSRace Card resurgence (Johnson), and under threat of other varieties of violent, disaffected white supremacist extremism (U.S. Department of Homeland Security). Barack Obama is smart enough to know this is not true. He knows he has sold his initiative poorly, that his timing is bad and his politicking is worse. At some point in the not-too-distant future, whether his health-care plan continues to crash and burn or is resurrected in a new figleaf evolution, the president needs tell the nation that it is OK to disagree with him, that political dissent and even anger do not equal racism. Not simply as a throwaway remark in an interview with a TV news anchor, or an aside in speech. He could invite U.S. representatives Joe Wilson and Johnson, former President Carter, New York Times scribbler Dowd, shrill standup act Garfalo and a lot of Tea Party organizers over for beers, but that approach was trite before he tried it last time, and this situation is more serious than a

POPSSea Shepherd deserves our support! It is time for the World to standup and be counted on issues affecting us all. Our Governments continue to fail us as they junket from one fest to another expending more "hot air". We have enough Global Warming without daft politicians adding to it!

POPSGeorge Carlin irreverent comedian dies Now he's probably working on a new routine with Richard Pryor, and Lenny Bruce. He was Honest, and hit some nerves that needed hitting. Sometimes the truth hurts, until you work out it's generally the same for everyone else. We're all in this together warts and all. Too many people wont talk about the Elephant in the living room. (but they're all worried that the elephant might want to use the bathroom.) George liked to tickle the elephant

POPSRobin Williams Impromptu Standup
Williams was then invited to take the stage and the crowd roared. He spent the next ten minutes or so riffing on Stephen Hawking (who spoke at TED earlier in the day from Cambridge, England) and the end of the universe -- which will take place "exactly in one hour," he said, looking at his watch. He joked again about the technical glitch, indicating that although the BBC wasn't working, audience members "with their phones are going, 'I'm getting all of this!'" And it was true. Dozens of people were capturing the stand-up act on their phones. He riffed about a new Apple product called the "iWhy?" and a few seconds later said he had just one question about the British royal family: "All that money and no dental plan," he deadpanned, which got a lot of laughs and a few sympathetic nods toward the BBC presenter sitting behind him (who appeared to have perfectly fine dental hygiene). He didn't spare panelist Brin and Google, noting that if you walk into Google you see everyone in f

POPSTen Commandments Minus Eight From Carlin's standup routine. I've admired him ever since the "Hippy-Dippy Weather Man". That's a clue how old I am. :-) This is one of his best!

POPSU.N.Hypocrites - Will Sec.Ban StandUp? The party chosen to chair the entire process through 2009--Moammar Khadafy's Libya,that routinely brutalizes black African migrants, and that tortures Bulgarian and Palestinian medics for the crime of being foreigners.The UN's 16-member Palestinian division is part of a sprawling infrastructure of anti-Israel committees and programs launched by the General Assembly in 1975 alongside its resolution declaring that "Zionism is racism." In the past six months alone, the division devoted vast sums for gatherings in Doha, Rome, Pretoria, and New York. Wouldn't its $5 million budget go to better use — and actually help Palestinians — by building clinics in Gaza or schools in Ramallah? A UN secretary general cannot be judged by country-driven bodies that go astray. But as Ban did recently in protesting the hypocrisies of the Human Rights Council, he can choose to speak truth to power now.
