POPSWhat was your fav tech of the last decade? You don't have to think back 10 years to see how much technology has changed. Just look back in this last year or that last couple of months. Some of my favorite technology was from 10 years ago. Anyone remember the commodore 64 with its ability to hook directly to your video player and TV. I had an instant wedding video business! What is your favorite technology during the last decade? Tweet us @thirstyfishinfo or leave a comment.

POPSTesting Ireland's new blasphemy law Ian O'Doherty's blasphemous statement: So, here we go -- Catholicism is a cannibal cult which eats its leader, Jews who believe that God wants them to settle in the Holy Land are deranged lunatics, Muslims who wants to install Islamic law are nothing but fascist terrorists and Scientologists are nothing but a bunch of brainwashed weirdos who have been suckered by the malicious rantings of a failed science-fiction writer. Alright lads, I'll see you in court.

POPSForty-Eight Years Of Indoctrination "Probably the last thing I ever expected to hear my daughter say was "I'm a lesbian." Marcie is tall, slim, very feminine-looking, with long, wavy blond hair. Makeup and clothes are important to her; she's had boyfriends since the day she was in third grade when she came home and announced that she was in love. She is anything but what I thought of as a "dyke." They had a right to their own lifestyle--just don't make me a witness to it. Maybe they weren't all "weirdos"--but just keep them out of my face. After a lifetime of learning that homosexuality was "perverted," "weird," "unnatural," "sick," against all that God or anyone else prescribed, was I too set in my beliefs, too brainwashed to ever--honestly, sincerely, to the core of my being--accept the concept? At 48 years of age, I was about to find out."

POPSThe truth about Talk Radio It's whatever will stir up the freaks and weirdos; that's all AM Talk radio is about — appealing to the deranged to keep them buying their products.

POPSCountdown: Tea Parties Part of an Astroturf Movement A video by bloggerinterrupted showcases a string of protesters from a Feb. 27 event in Cleveland who don't believe President Obama was born in the United States. Any good protest will have its fringe weirdos, but the birth certificate deniers may be emerging as an undercurrent in the tea party movement -- D.C. tea party organizers booked Obama-birth-certificate-skeptic Alan Keyes to speak at the tax day event outside the Treasury Department.

POPSThe Other Side Of Desire I'm a pretty straightforward gal who just likes cuddling and I would never want to read this book, but it's interesting to me in the aspect that I'm sure some still view same-sex attractions as "perverted" and "weird", so I can identify only in the aspect that it also spoke to me about that part of myself that has been forced to live within societal restrains. It can be so hurtful to a spouse or family to the point where you want to spare them that pain.

POPS" I am Joe Six-Pack. I am not who they think that they are talking to. Are you?" More: Joe is the guy I worked with who served in Vietnam, worked construction, had four kids, thought Portland micro-brews were for hippies and weirdos -- and told me one day about having to change churches, because "our pastor spends all his time talking about how bad the gays are, and I go to church for God, and I really don't think God cares who you sleep with or who you marry." Oh, and he went back to school at 45 to get a degree in architecture, so I guess he won't be Joe Six-Pack soon. His income will put him into that Better Class of People y'all think you're part of. Joe is a writer or an actor or an artist who waits tables, pumps gas, shelves books, does landscaping, delivers pizza, scrubs toilets, and otherwise works his or her ass off all day or night to pay the mortgage so they can continue to write or act or make art.

POPSUS Teen Suicide Rate Rising Take away the meds from kids and this is what happens. Yet the reason for keeping kids away from psychiatric medication persists however absurd it might be. And the reasons are absurd. If a teenager had a malfunctioning liver, only religious weirdos would say to keep the child off the medication. But when a child's brain malfunctions and there is is a medication that can help, many people cry foul and become suspicious. Why? We are only talking about organs of the body. Just as yellowing skin can be a symptom of a malfunctioning liver, so depression can be a symptom of a malfunctioning brain. The meds can save lives.

POPSOh, What a Circus . . . There is a serious risk that without the continuing copy the late Diana provides, some British newspapers would go out of business. Please.

POPSAmplify your car remote signal with your head Can't find your car in an enormous parking lot? This video shows you how to extend your car alarm remote's range by holding it to your head. According to the video, "the oral cavity in your skull amplifies the signal." We haven't tried this out ourselves yet, but you know we'll be the weirdos out on the street with the remote to our head this afternoon.
