POPSChicago Had Another Great One Chicago ... long before it was fascinated by Barak Obama it had the good fortune to be enchanted by another coloured man who was most insulted and adored and respected too by everyone that had an ear for music, the greatest entertainer of his times, the inimitable ugly and lovely Sammy Davis Jr. You can easily find him in You Tube, Google and nuTsie.com. You will discover a new world ... the world of our times ... am 72.

POPSDolly Parton Vs. Google I sympathize with event producers, and it feels wrong to disagree with Dolly -- but come on. If we make that spectrum available to the public, the benefit to consumers is huge, and it's easy enough to regulate them to avoid interference.

POPS9 deli sandwiches honoring Obama victory
** “The Weather Underground Club” – a fiery combination of spiced pastrami, hot mustard, and pickled onions on jalapeno cheese bread. Be your own bomb! Fart Truth to Power!. From Stage Deli, 834 7th Ave, between 53rd and 54th St, New York, NY **“Saul Alinsky’s Famous Hot Corned Beef sandwich” — Not really corned beef, but shhh! We won’t tell if you wont! Comes with fries and gravy. Or so you think… From Sarge’s Deli, 548 3rd Ave, between 36th and 37th St, New York, NY ** “The Bernardine Dohrne Helter Skelter Sandwich” — salted prosciutto ham, aged and cured for 7 years, sliced thin and served atop a bed of shredded legal paper, tomato, and onion.

POPSIs Something Big About to Happen (ACORN Obama and more!) (5) One favor political Chicago claims Obama did for the Giannoulias family was in 2006 when, out of the blue, 29 year old Alexi Giannoulias, with no experience, and without ever having voted before, decides to run for State Treasurer of Illinois.

This was a SHOCK to everyone in Chicago — and Giannoulias would have never become State Treasurer without Obama’s help.

POPSCanon supports secret garden in urban jungle to Greenwash their waste example of public-private partnership to support a local community garden in NYC. This is a call for community participation. Canon partnered with the American Park Network to offset their carbon with the purchase of trees. The APN then donates trees to local parks and works with community groups to plant them. It would be a cool deal, but it's not much coming from canon. Not while they continue to produce highly wasteful print cartridges, and as far as I can see still haven't come out with a refillable cartridge. Canon is so so NOT GREEN!
