POPSPalin gives Oprah her biggest audience in 2 years; and her book is still #1 on Amazon Palin would still have the #1 book on Amazon and give Oprah her biggest show in years despite the Palin derangement people and the libs who hate her as much as themselves. For some reason, liberals are under the impression that Americans would rather march in their "look how smart I am" parades than read Sarah's book. But nice going libs, your derangement and obsession is helping to sell more books. I bought ten of them, took them to Starbucks, and put a courtesy copy on each table for you to read while sucking down your grande mocha cappuccinos.

POPSThe Misfired Martyrs Motel at Guantanamo Bay Actually, Gitmo seems too nice for terrorists. Let’s send them some place worse.. like regular prison. And don't miss the video at the end. That's the best part of the clip. So Gitmo shuts down and the liberals move the murdering terrorists to a place like Illinois....or in their own backyards. I guess you need big brainzzzz to understand that logic.

A number of events have been held across the U.S. this year to mark the bicentenary of the former president’s birth.

POPSSeventeen Things Worth Knowing About Your Cat
History of Cats The cat wasn't domesticated to make a pet or companion; the cat was domesticated by accident. In the Valley of the Nile (which is now Sudan, but then was Upper Egypt), the cat was first domesticated. Now the Pharaoh had much grain that needed protection from vermin. He wanted to confiscate all of the cats in Egypt and keep them near the palace graineries, but he couldn't. Cats were so popular among his people that to remove all the cats from all the people in Egypt would have caused a revolt. So, instead he cleverly declared all cats "demigods." This means that they weren't gods equal to the Pharoah's status, but they certainly were more valuable than the average person. With this plan, people could care for the demigods (cats) while they remained the official property of the Pharoah. The status of the cat shot up overnight. If anyone killed a cat, they were sentenced to death. If a house caught on fire, the cats were pulled to safety first.

POPS15-ish Things Worth Knowing About Coffee
“Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.” That’s the recipe for coffee, according to the utterly French statesman Talleyrand (1754-1838). AFRICAN ORIGINS (Circa A.D. 800) Goats will eat anything. Just ask Kaldi the legendary Ethiopian (map) goatherd. Kaldi, the story goes, noticed his herd dancing from one coffee shrub to another, grazing on the cherry-red berries containing the beans. He copped a few himself and was soon frolicking with his flock. Witnessing Kaldi’s goatly gambol, a monk plucked berries for his brothers. That night they were uncannily alert to divine inspiration. History tells us other Africans of the same era fueled up on protein-rich coffee-and-animal-fat balls"primitive PowerBars"and unwound with wine made from coffee-berry pulp. Coffee later crossed the Red Sea to Arabia, where things really got cooking... ESCAPE FROM ARABIA (Circa 1000 to 1600) Coffee as we know it kicked off in Arabia, where roasted beans

POPSThe Shweeb velodrome is the worlds first human powered monorail racetrack [PICS] WOOOHOOOO! Looks like fun! The Shweeb velodrome is the world’s first human-powered monorail racetrack. It has two long overhead rail circuits, varying in height between two and four metres above the ground. High-performance pedal-powered vehicles hang under the tracks. The pods swing freely from side to side and as your speed picks up, you swing wildly around corners and soar high and low over undulating terrain. Up to five vehicles can be loaded onto each track, enabling teams to race each other either one-on-one or in tandem or you can race against the clock.
