POPS Pre-POTUS More press conferences like yesterday’s, please, in which, a couple months in advance to taking office, he began establishing the nation’s economic policy but dodged any responsibility for foreign policy, delved deeply into traditional Oval Office canine policy … charmingly and disarmingly if surprisingly refering to himself as a “mutt,” almost a Lyndon Johnson scar kind of moment … and in an excess of clever over-thinking himself, insulted a dignified old woman. Meanwhile, he has already achieved pre-sainthood of the sort that one prominent presidential historian notes is usually reserved for the dead ones. Ouch, that’s awkward.

POPSSeeing the Invisible Schlieren photography, which “takes an invisible phenomenon and turns it into a visible picture”... Schlieren is German for “streaks”; in this case it refers to regions of different densities in a gas or a liquid, which can be photographed as shadows using a special technique. Beautiful...

POPSHeartening tale of a rescued baboon
“And their response was ‘can you take us to him?’ We immediately hiked back into the area with members from the 4X4 Club, S.P.C.A. and C.R.O.W. and removed the baboon from his prison. He was taken to C.R.O.W. and when he woke from his drugs we administered he must have thought he was in heaven! The first thing he saw was a huge bowl of fresh vegetables and fruit which he took great pleasure in devouring.” The baboon was named Drake, because he had come from the Drakensberg. And over the next few months at C.R.O.W, Drake regained his strength. “When he got his food he would eat everything. He literally - he was starved. He was a sack of bones when we picked him up and normally they weigh roughly about 50 kilos - a big grown male - and he weighed less than 20 kilos. He was literally a sack of bones when we picked him up, so his meals at C.R.O.W — he used to like them, ja!” Soon, plans were made to return Drake to the wild. (Rest of the story on the clip)

POPSExtreme Eats There's a scene in the 1970 film Fatso when an overweight character poses the following question to his friends: "Did you ever suck the jelly out of a jelly doughnut and then fill it with chocolate swirl ice cream?" Most people react to that query in one of two ways: They either say to themselves, "That's disgusting!" or "That's disgusting ... I want one!"

POPSWill Government Ever Learn From The Past? I doubt it. Today's Delancey's Place Tidbit, gives a brief encounter of what happened when the US Government "forced" a whole nation to go dry. What followed was a horrific scene of "forced" drunkenness, "forced" crime and "forced" misery... Today's Government "forced" War on Drugs has produced similar anguish especially for those who seek marijuana to relieve pain and suffering. Not to mention, if this so-called Governmental War on Drugs would lax some of its absurdities, the revenue collected from such sales would help the sinking economy. But it is not about a failing policy, it's all about politics and getting elected. Common sense, must take a back seat once again. Stupidity continues to rule, as time marches on! thinkingblue

POPSWorld's weirdest experiments Funny to read :-) You can try a variation on the 'white bear' experiment: Just put down the paper and don't think about CLIPMARKS for a while. But don't say you weren't warned. CLIPMARKS, once not invited in, can be devilishly hard to get rid of.

POPSIt's Too Hot For Them Dawgs "One might observe that when it comes to important issues like human rights in Tibet, Chinese leaders don’t seem to care what the rest of the world thinks, yet when it comes to dietary niceties, they kowtow to the most irrational foreign prejudice."

POPSCool Ideas for Hot Dogs I've seen so many stupid animal owners, but it's never too late to get some "know-how". At this time of year, the warmth is often animals worst enemy. Take care of your dog, cat or whatever you have decided to give love and shelter. Don't be one of the bad statistic.
