POPSWhere are these troops going to come from? Yeah. Shocking - we don't have enough troops ; the troops in Fort Bragg live in a literal cess pool ; there is not enough health care (physical or mental) for the troops coming back ; enlistment is down (even though I've heard otherwise) - yes, there is a problem and we are already over-working the troops in Iraq & Afganistan and in turn, destroying families. I don't get it and this just pisses me off.

POPSEwww. Come on people! What are you doing to these kids? Ok, so I posted a comment about Miley Cyrus but not because she was being sexy but because she looked dead in that photo and Michael K had me cracking up. Anyway, this was on Slate, and it is pretty frickin' creepy. What are these people doing to these kids? We sit here and talk about protecting children but this is what is out there all over the world. Sorry, I know, there is a lot more going on in the world that I am paying attention to, I just do not post it. But this is gross.

POPSFall Out Boy & The Roots Ok, this article cracked me up. Just that one paragraph had me giggling behind the circulation desk. However, I will admit, I kind of like how Patrick Stump from the Fall Out Boy sings. I blame it on my nephews.

POPSDealing with this Liar Loan Tale first hand
I am sure a lot of people out there are also dealing with this. I have not seen anyone really write about it on a personal level because (1) it's embarrassing (2) people feel swindled (3) there is a lot of shame in losing a home. We have not lost our childhood home yet but it is a possibility. Mama Martini is excitable. She falls for these things. She is not stupid or anything like that, she is a little ill-informed. She's also a bandwagoner. I love her to death but Mama Martini has no one to reel her in anymore. Papa Martini was the one to do that and now, he's no longer here. We (the Martini sibs) had a sit down with her and my brother was so angry at the people who convinced her that using our childhood home as collateral for another one was a good idea. So, here it is. From Slate, an article that finally addresses the other side - the side that people who have been swindled feel. Thank goodness. I was wondering when this was going to happen. Hopefully, we don't lose th

POPS236.com - Spitzer Thought Process Flowchart I know, people like Spitzer. He just can't keep his friend in his pants and likes prostitutes and his wife is seriously seriously pissed off at him. There is a great Slate article on the whole PR campaign with how politicians deal wit sex scandals but she seriously looks peeved. This, though, is hilarious!

POPSSlate Article - Irving Penn : one of my all time favorite photographers I love Irving Penn and his portraits. I have a book that is a collection of his work on my shelf at home. This is an interesting Slate article about him because of the recent acquisitions made by a number of museums, like the Getty here in L.A. I cannot wait for next year when they will show the collection in the "Small Trades" exhibit.

POPSEqual time - equal talk I like this piece from Slate about Chris Matthews and how he should talk to his male guests just like he talks to his female guest. Can you image that? He can tell his male guests that they are beautiful and have a great face and are a gift to women-kind.
