POPSThe eHarmony Shakedown Perhaps heterosexual men and women should start filing lawsuits against gay dating websites and undermine their businesses. Coerced tolerance and diversity-by-fiat cut both ways.

POPSwhy did people believe it was reall ? Can it happen today? Orson Wells terrified all of America in 1938 with his Halloween radio play of War Of The Worlds. In honor of the 70th anniversary of the classic Orson Welles radio play about martians invading New Jersey, Radio Lab asks: why did people believe it was really happening? And why has this stunt continued to fool people since?

POPS11 Public Transit Agencies Pleaded With Congress For Bailout And the banks were able to rely on frequent lease payments while writing off taxes on the depreciating property. The IRS ended such leasing arrangements in 2004 and is pressuring banks to stop the tax shelters by the end of the year. Metro, the Washington area’s transit system, agreed last week with a bank immediately seeking $43 million from one such financing deal following talks overseen by a federal judge. Terms were not disclosed on the judge’s instructions. Metro general manager John Catoe noted Tuesday that Metro still faces 14 similar financing deals. He said having to settle all of them in court would lead to hefty legal costs and other expenses. The other three agencies seeking government help are in Sacramento and San Jose in California and New Jersey Transit.

POPSProp 8: not a sign of the future, but the "last gasp of a fringe movement" More: On the front page of the New York Times today, reporters Jesse McKinley and Laurie Goodstein assert that the success of anti-gay marriage iniatives in California, Arizona and Florida has “ignited a debate about whether the movement to expand the rights of same-sex couples had hit a cultural brick wall.” That, frankly, is ridiculous. Here's why: … Therefore, this week’s victories for the religious right in California, Arizona and Florida are really the last gasp of a fringe movement trying to forestall the inevitable, rather than proof of a new “cultural brick wall.”

POPSGoogle Follows Flu Trends by your Key Stroaks There is a new common symptom of the flu, in addition to the usual aches, coughs, fevers and sore throats. Turns out a lot of ailing Americans enter phrases like “flu symptoms” into Google and other search engines before they call their doctors. That simple act, multiplied across millions of keyboards in homes around the country, has given rise to a new early warning system for fast-spreading flu outbreaks, called Google Flu Trends.

POPSLive Fab Music : My Chemical Romance My Chemical Romance is an alternative pop/rock and punk-pop band. They are in New Jersey. Their name was inspired by author Irvine Welsh (of Trainspotting fame), and while many of their songs are loud, fast, hyper, and aggressive, My Chemical Romance's work also tends to be melodic and pop-minded.

POPSBanned Halloween Costume this is so stupid. If a person comes dressed as a witch, they have been banned too, because it might offend a wiccan- this is equally unfair. Although, if someone came dressed as a KKK member, they would be told to go home because they were glorifying them... will it never end?

POPSAnd You Thought New York Had High Taxes Before Perhaps now we can finally win back our #1 ranking from New Jersey as the worst business tax climate in the country! For a sense of how much economic damage this might inflict on American business generally, consider the fact that the 40-some Fortune 500 companies based in New York City alone account for well over a trillion dollars in annual income. State Senate Dems undoubtedly salivate at the though of this bottomless piggybank which they can now use without obstruction to fund their bloated adventures in big government. Past experience has given us little reason to assume they'll stop to consider the impact of increasingly punitive taxes on job creation, the value of investment portfolios (retirement accounts) that hold stock in large companies, or the general health of the state economy, already nearly crippled by a tax scheme that gives capital and successful businesses every incentive to relocate across state lines or overseas.

POPSProblems Prompt Call for VA Voting Hours Extension This is almost certain to be only one of many election day problems that'll be reported throughout the day. This one is significant, because it's pretty much impossible for McCain to win without taking Virginia. One of the first things we ought to do after all the smoke clears is get rid of these goddam computerized voting machines. If you can't convince people that the fact that they're easily rigged is anything other than a conspiracy theory, there's plenty of evidence that they're junk and don't work. It's not a conspiracy that these lemons are a ripoff. Like the story says, if you have any problems, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE or 1-866-MY-VOTE1 . Don't let anyone turn you away, don't let anyone keep you from voting.
