POPSIs Google Making Us Stupid? Thinking makes my head hurt! Carr, the author of the piece, illustrates his point using a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, where HAL, the supercomputer, begs Dave not to terminate him. Ironically, as I was reading the article, a car commercial came on TV, parodying that same scene to advertise its GPS. And I had only just seen the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time a few days ago--just that one scene--so I fully appreciated his point. Talk about deja vu! Or maybe I just imagined it all...

POPSObama's Council On Foreign Relations Crew This is by no means an exhaustive list. Of course, had John McCain become president, being a member of the CFR himself, his administration would have been replete with CFR representatives also. Max Boot, Lawrence Eagleburger and Henry Kissinger, to name but a few, are all CFR members and were all advisors to the McCain campaign. It is important to document how these people are a part of the engine of global elitism and do not represent change. Only with this understanding will others wake up to the false left-right paradigm and be able to create the environment for real political change. Out with the old regime, in with the old regime?

POPSBruce Springsteen says "VOTE OBAMA"! "In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me."

POPSSpringsteen Sings "The Rising," at Obama Rally A taste of Springsteen singing, 5 min. long. Two days before the election. Lots of other YouTubes about it, another song: "This Land is Your Land," can be found here, mixed with a hightlight of of Obama's speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytItUIoq2Wc&feature=related This is a good sample of what makes Obama supporters jump up and cheer; it's a good snapshot of what many Americans want to believe and see. This is pretty darn "Americana." Springsteen mentions that Philly (Philadelphia), is where the country began; Yes, in Philadelphia the Declaration of Independence of the 13 colonies from British rule was written and signed.

POPSMature Presidents Outperform Young Interesting evaluation of some historical events...the way I learned and saw history. FTA: "Our next president will face a resurgent Russia run by Vladimir Putin and his KGB friends, Iran and its nuclear program, and al-Qaida and other terrorists who want an atomic weapon." Ooops. There might be too much 'fear' in this Clip.

POPSDownload Duke Nukem 3D Duke - one of the first video game characters that actually spoke - is rude, tough, egotistical, and cracks more one liners than Bruce Willis in Die Hard. So basically he's a badass and fun to play as.

POPSA bit of nostalgia The last time I went to Silver Springs was during the Love Bug season. That was decades after these pictures were taken.
