POPSBehind The Facade "Reality is unforgiving. There is no escape. The Michael-mania that has erupted since Jackson’s death — not just an appreciation of his music, but a giddy celebration of his life — is yet another spasm of the culture opting for fantasy over reality. We don’t want to look under the rock that was Jackson’s real life. As with so many other things, we don’t want to know."

POPSSarah's Straight Talk "Perhaps there is some new and interesting scandal that Palin has yet to let us in on. (If so, I hope it involves a soul mate.) Otherwise, it would appear that this is all about her desire to start raising money and setting up operations for a presidential run in 2012 So if she’s starting to run, it will be as the same reporter-avoiding, generalization-spouting underachiever that she was last time around. Now we know she not only doesn’t have the concentration to read a policy paper, she can’t focus long enough to finish the job she was hired to do."

POPSMavis Leno "Why is "feminist" regarded as a dirty word by some people? The women who freed 50% of the American population -- at last, to hear their names in speeches was the most emotional thing in the world to me. So if you don't want to call yourself a feminist, then give it all back, OK? If these women so long ago had the guts to stand up and go through what they had to go through, then have the decency to call yourself a feminist."
