POPSTHE SHIT PEDDLERS All the myths that are floated as truth, is nauseating beyond the puke bucket. The right-winged, learned ones who perhaps didn't sleep through all of their college courses, whip out the dialogue of mendacity every time they are threatened to be overthrown by THE OTHER PARTY. Oh they keep their fairytale myths alive all through their years of control but election time is when they really roll up their sleeves and get the SHIT shovels lined up to cover us all in blankets of Repulsive Untruths against our common senses and THE OTHER PARTY. I picked up a newspaper belonging to a red bible belt area where many of the followers or better word SHEEP live and who desperately want to believe the crap their Right-winged commanders spew forth, even if it doesn't quite make sense to them.

POPSMessy Truth about Georgia Article deals with US foreign policy. What's horribly remarkable about this human tragedy is how utterly predictable have been many responses by those unwilling (or unable?) to consider the situation in its full historical complexity.

POPSBoston Legal's Depiction of the Supreme Court... Was right on target. When I first saw this clip, I couldn't believe how wonderful it would be if this was not fiction. Well, it seems the Supreme Court may not be as politically polarized as I thought but just one more Republican justice and it will be. When that happens a case like this will only be a fairytale. I can't embed it any longer but you can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqlGoxfAkuU See John Stewart's hilarious view of Scalia and the Supreme Court.

POPSHow my mother's fanatical views tore us apart I'm glad she didn't miss out on one of the true blessings of this life. It's not for everyone it seems, but to lead the mantra that being a wife and mother are demeaning it truly destructive to human beings and society.

POPSOne of the Best Dance tunes, IMO. The most previous gift that the Irish brought to America was our music. The best thing that you gave us back was our own music, refined and distilled and reinvigorated. The proof of this distillation was RIVERDANCE, which extracted every drop of Celtic blood on the planet, even the Chinese. Along the way there were Irish music bands from the UK like the Pogues and Dexy's Midnight Runners, proving that Irish music is in the genes no matter where you are born. 20 years on and the Pogues are #1 for Christmas with "Fairytale of New York". Personally, I could not play even a tin whistle but I was compensated and blessed with a heart and feet able to recognize good dance music from the walze to rock to Irish.

POPS"Fairytale of New York" BBC Reverse Censorship Decision in 24 hours My Birthday song in political correct controversial BBC stupidity with best Christmas Song. Jean MacColl, the singer’s mother, compared the song with a play. “These are a couple of characters, Irish immigrants not in the first flush of youth and this is the way they spoke,” “Shane wrote the most beautiful song and you really feel for these characters. Shakespeare was quite open about certain expressions. You cannot emasculate the song. It’s absolute nonsense.” Yesterday marked the seventh anniversary of Kirsty MacColl’s manslaughter/murder, after she was hit by a power boat while scuba diving. She was the daughter of the folk singer Ewan MacColl.

POPS Classic Walt Disney Fairytale "Enchanted" A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess from the past who is thrust into present-day by an evil queen. Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer. Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world? But Enchanted makes magic when Giselle redecorates his digs with the help of rats, pigeons and roaches. The terrific score is from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. And X-Man Marsden (so good in Hairspray) is a hoot as the song-and-dance-man prince. Yet Adams is the wish your heart makes when you want a storybook princess for the ages.

POPSSpitzerDecided on HisOwn--Sure! Right! Her camp made sure he dropped it before the debate. It is as surely as it got light today. Can anyone imagine a fairytale such that Spitzer just happened to drop it on his own?

POPSMaggie Taylor Maggie Taylor is probably my favorite artist. The combination of fairytale and lurking malevolence is very compelling to me. Hope you like them too.
