POPSNotorious Flying Imams Claim Their Only Crime Was “Flying While Muslim” [P] ...the six imams were doing things far more suspicious than praying - an Arabic-speaking passenger heard them repeatedly invoke “bin Laden,” and “terrorism,” a gate attendant told the captain that she did not want to fly with them, and that bomb-sniffing dogs were brought aboard. Other Muslim passengers were left undisturbed and later joined in a round of applause for the U.S. Airways crew ...

POPSVenezuela's great divider [P] The American Left crack me up. They engage in paranoid fantasies about what they imagine George Bush is doing "behind the scenes" while simultaneously thinking what a cool guy Cha'vez is, totally buying his front.

POPSGrappling with the cool and rage of Miles Davis [P] The poet and writer Quincy Troupe, who was Davis's collaborator, friend and protégé, has adapted a screenplay from his 2000 memoir, "Miles and Me." "It's about a friendship - a hard-won friendship - between two black men, both of them artists," Troupe explained. "Through that friendship, the film will explore Miles's life." The producer Rudy Langlais said independent financing for "Miles and Me" is in place through Patriot Pictures and Beacon Pictures, and talks are under way with actors and filmmakers. "We will be up and running next year," predicted Langlais, whose credits include "The Hurricane," about the controversial criminal case involving the boxer Hurricane Carter, and television movies about the Atlanta child murders of the late 1970s and early '80s and the gang leader Stanley Tookie Williams.

POPSSomething for DFiskey I have zero interest in Celebrities so I have no interest in this extension, and haven't installed it. As soon as I saw it I thought of you and thought you might want to check it.

POPS...got answers? I had Answers installed on my computer and didn't like it. Later, I gave the extension a try. Didn't like it. Well I thought I'd give the new version of the extension a shot and, Lord have mercy my people, this thing smokes! Incredibly fast and intuitive. You don't even need to highlight. I don't know how it does it but, for instance, I clicked on Earth Wind and Fire--just like this, complete, not EWF, and BOOM! chackalackalacka, there's the little popup with info, links, and pictures. You got to check this thing.

POPSThe war within the west (4) [P] I don't like the all too common use of the term "the west" as used here when what is really meant is free democratic civilisation. I guess it's easier and done in laziness with the thought that what is meant will be inferred, but it leaves out India, Australia, Philippines, and so many other non western nations facing the same threats. The term should have been dropped long ago.
