POPSAhmadinejad Speaks at U.N.
This is a reasonable summary of the Iranian president's speech. Surprises? He says he wants to see the elimination of all WMD's -- and this would be a surprise if you believe propaganda that he wants nuke weapons and turn a blind eye to the fact that Israel has WMD's. 2. He doesn't want to drive Israel into the sea (more false propaganda). He wants a two-state solution. 3. He thinks the slow starvation of a million and a half people in the Gaza Strip is genocide. (This led to the walkout of many). 4. He doesn't deny the Holocaust (never has) but continues to annoy Zionist by asking why this is a topic of special concern to Arabs and Iran, pointing out there have been other great massacres and genocides and that 60 million were killed in WWII and he's sorry about all of that. 5. He thinks of U.S. actions in Iraq and Iran as invasions, doesn't like them and says there are still secret prisons, Gitmo, and bad deeds going on. (All true). 6. We need spiritual values. Too m

POPSThe 10 Most Annoying Everyday Devices of Modern Civilization Not all gadgets provide an improvement to our lives. Many gadgets serve to anger and annoy their users and others around them more than they actually provide any positive function. Here’s a list of gadgets and devices that have all undoubtedly found themselves at the wrong end of a mallet or strip of asphalt countless times. The photos and rantings are amusing. I favorite rants are about the aftermarket car audio system and the car alarm.

POPSOutside: reflections on a neighborhood Written by an Iraq veteran I know who's having what sounds like a fairly typical rough adjustment to being back (and a typical struggle to get necessary care for service-related injuries from the VA). Long, but well worth reading. More: There's nothing so comfortable as a prejudice confirmed, even if it takes machinations and deprivation to bring that about. Another one is pain. T's uncle was hurt in an industrial accident that broke his hip, pelvis, both legs, and some vertebrae. The bones never set right, or were not set right, perhaps, by an indifferent physician, who looked at his record or heard from R himself about busts and brawls and concluded that the man would merely injure himself again, as 'they' always do. It's hard to conceive of a future when you do have a past. So R gets a vast amount of Vicodan per month, only some of which he uses, because his preferred anesthetic is liquid. When someone is creative, we view that as a tragedy.…

POPSPeople who honk their horn gratuitously and/or angrily better watch out Despite Immelt's best efforts to fight it, a jury ruled against her on the noise violation, and an appeals judge in Washington didn't buy her argument that "the horn honking was constitutionally protected free speech." According to the story, Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Richard Thorpe said, "Horn honking per se is not free speech... orn honking which is done to annoy or harass others is not speech." There may be some wiggle room in that language though...perhaps Morse-code honking? Well, it might be better to be safe than sorry and express one's self in other, more traditional ways...

POPS27 huge publishers join to annoy web visitors even more Via The Business Insider I found out that a group of 27 Huge Publishers are getting together to get rid of the ad banner and instead come up with more intrusive and obstructive advertising that they hope visitors will find hard to ignore. I am pretty sure that advertisers don’t like the fact that users have learned to easily ignore the ads on a website, so they imagine that by making the ads much larger and impossible to move aside the users will be forced to watch them and will take action. Oh, I’m sure they’ll take action: ad blockers will become more popular than ever.

POPSRihanna Declines Court Protection from Chris Brown Update: Update: Supreme court case is Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004) see: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/C0BCAB81-73D5-4205-96A4-CDC4DE86A511/ Legally speaking this could be a strategy by Rihanna's lawyers and we shouldn't read too much into this. What might be in Brown's favor, is that Rihanna might not testify, (supported by supreme court case, which I did not get the name of). Who called 911? If Rihanna doesn't testify, there is the witness. Blood coming out of her mouth, is circumstantial evidence, which can be more powerful than direct evidence - Ashley Banfield CNN commentator on Rick Sanchez's show.
