POPSNAACP vs. Obama The NAACP people have to bust their ass to come up with another place - and they do, finally, finding an armory in Harlem. There's no air conditioning, however, and we are talking New York in July here. The governor steps in and says he'll provide temporary air conditioning. The White House then says, "OK, but we want to change the time - 2 p.m. for the president's speech is not acceptable anymore. We want 5 o'clock." The NAACP says, wait a minute - this speech is supposed to take place on the biggest day of the convention, the day we hold the awards banquet. If Obama goes on at 5 p.m., we'll have to bus hundreds of people from the downtown Hilton all the way up to Harlem, two or three hours before the president arrives. Then we'll have to bus everyone back and get everyone into their black ties for the awards dinner. We can't do that. So those little bitty people in the NAACP send back the message: Advise him that it's 2 o'clock and we hope he shows. Nice one Obama.

POPSFamily of Dead Son Told To Pay $3,000 As A "Bullet Fee"
His father, Yousef, first called his fiancée and friends. No one had heard from him. At the crack of dawn, his father began searching at police stations, then hospitals and then the morgue. Upon learning of his son's death, the elder Mr. Alipour was told the family had to pay an equivalent of $3,000 as a "bullet fee""a fee for the bullet used by security forces"before taking the body back, relatives said. Mr. Alipour told officials that his entire possessions wouldn't amount to $3,000, arguing they should waive the fee because he is a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war. According to relatives, morgue officials finally agreed, but demanded that the family do no funeral or burial in Tehran. Kaveh Alipour's body was quietly transported to the city of Rasht, where there is family. "He was so full of life. He had so many dreams," said Arsalan, a taxi driver who has known the family for 10 years. "What did he die for?" Write to Farnaz Fassihi at farnaz.fassihi@wsj.com

POPSFlorida City Caught Criminalizing the Homeless When I worked in downtown San Diego during a visit by then Pres. Clinton, the cops rounded up all the homeless in the downtown area and shuttled them up to LA. Presumably so the Pres would not have to see any of his ‘subjects’ living on the street. Sadly, this kind of cruelty towards people who are homeless is not restricted only to St. Petersburg. Take a glimpse at the list of the Top 20 Meanest Cities: http://www.nationalhomeless.org/publications/crimreport/meanest.html See if your town is on the list.

POPSThe Trappist, downtown Oakland The Trappist? Uh... you'd hate it. Yeah, that's it, you'd hate it. It's really small. It gets crowded. There's limited seating. People sit at the bar reading books. The beer list is confusingly long. The cheddar on the cheese plate is intimidatingly sharp. It's in the heart of downtown Oakland and we all know what a post-industrial hellhole Oakland is. You have to walk past all the pro-Oaksterdam sorts smoking on the sidewalk. Nobody goes there, and you don't want to either... Note: The beer lists are way, WAY too long to fit in the clip limit, so click through for those.
