POPSOscar Starts His Own News Network, GNN Grouchy News Network
"Oscar the Grouch Smacks Fox News" video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO-1j9T90-8&feature=player_embedded If Mom and Dad watch cable news, it’s better than 50/50 they watch “POX News.” So what gives? PBS " a network partially funded with my tax dollars " has the right to tell my kids that their parents watch “trashy” news? The message is clear, I can’t even sit my kids in front of “Sesame Street” without having to worry about the Left attempting to undermine my authority. And don’t tell me, “If you don’t like it change the channel.” There are no channels left! It’s everywhere. Just last week I had Obama’s service and volunteerism promoted on every single major network, including Disney and Nickelodeon. …by the way, why SHOULD I change the channel? This is MY channel, I’m paying for it! The fact that this is a re-run from an episode written during the Bush Presidency only reinforces that this is nothing new. The Left has been doing this for years now.

POPSWhite Voters, Easy Marks For Controversy Stokers proposed healthcare overhaul, in which some conservatives accused him of socialism. Obama’s ratings seem likely to rise again if he wins passage of healthcare legislation this fall. One such episode came to a head Sunday when Van Jones, Obama’s green jobs czar, resigned after a week of criticism over past inflammatory statements and for signing onto conspiracy theories questioning whether the U.S. government played a role in the Sept. 11 attacks. In another episode, some conservatives have criticized a White House dinner invitation issued to the lead lawyer in the American Civil Liberties Union lawsuits that have forced the government to disclose Bush-era interrogation techniques. The lawyer was invited to an event for the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. And Obama’s plan to address the nation’s schoolchildren Tuesday has prompted an outcry among some conservative parents and GOP officials. Some of them have accused the White House of trying to infuse “socialism”

POPSHave You Heard "The Hum"? Various features of modern life have been blamed - gas pipes, power lines, mobile phone masts, wind farms, nuclear waste, even low-frequency submarine communications. The internet is abuzz with rumour and speculation. There are dark mutterings about secret military activity, alien contact and government cover-ups. The hum even featured in an episode of the sci-fi drama "The X-Files". Such conspiracy theories are understandable, but unhelpful, according to Dr David Baguley, who's head of audiology at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. He estimates that in about a third of cases there is some environmental source that can be tracked down and dealt with. "It may be a fridge or an industrial fan or a piece of heavy machinery at a nearby factory that is causing the disturbance and can be switched off," he says. Most of the time, however, there is no external noise that can be recorded or identified. You can hear an amplified recording of the hum, at the source.

POPSUFO spotted over Bristol The video footage people keep getting of flying UFO's is just plain boring and something fomr like the 50's. I want someone to get onboard these things and get real upclose footage of the vessel, the technology, the people and of course and abductees they may have ;-) Unless it is onboard video of the spacecraft & a real outter space person, who really cares if they are flying around. Just too boring.

POPSDinner for Five The Last Hurrah! I did enjoy this whenever I caught it. I admire Jon Favreau and actually, I think this would be an interesting episode with Vince Vaughn and all. So you can watch it online for a bit.

POPSMythbusters to test cockroache's radiation risk Can cockroaches survive a nuclear attack ? Mythbusters have arranged to irradiate cockroaches, with the help of scientists at the Hanford 318 building irradiator, near Richland Washington. The episode is supposed to air in about 4 months. Hope they don't mutate too much, or learn Martial arts.
