POPSAnd SHE slams Michelle Obama? Why hasn't the media picked up on this and reported it repeatedly for months like they do with every little thing Obama and his wife do or say? If it HAD been Michelle Obama's past, you can bet we'd never hear the end of it.

POPSSalute To 'Indian Joe' & St. Anthony's - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR PEOPLE
This is a funny little bit about Indian Joe and St. Anthony's who serves about a 1,500 meals every day for us without taxpayer funds.... (as far as we know). History Note: On October 4, 1950, Fr. Alfred opens St. Anthony Dining Room, serving 400 meals the first day. After realizing guests suffer from untreated medical problems, Fr. Alfred creates a small First Aid Station in the DIning Room. WE LOVE ST. ANTHONY'S and we are not happy about Marian's women shelter is closing. They do their operation very well, most of the time and even have a nutritionist or dietician that coordinates their meals and menu. With the closing of the Haight-Ashbury Food Program (and cooking school run by Chef Dan before he retired last Christmas) for reasons we are still researching -- there has been a noticeable increase in demand for meals. Indian Joe has become St. Anthony's Poster Boy. They made a postcard with his picture on it !! It looks FANTASTIC. Oh should we say Fab-U-Lous

POPSWould You Feed a Customer at a Hunger Cafe? This story is about cafes in India that serve the hungry for very low prices. The catch is that they have to sit outside and wait for someone to donate money for their meal. I've clipped it because I thought it was a very interesting window into Indian culture. And if travel is about anything, it's about exposure to culture. I also think that when we travel it's important to be aware of different cultural practices when it comes to things like charity. Do you think you'd be more prone to donate money to people sitting in front of a hunger cafe while traveling as opposed to someone who was walking the streets asking for money?
