POPSPelosi confronted at book signing Madam Speaker was so flustered by our efforts that she barely made a cogent remark for her whole "Know Your Power" talk. Our peaceful action had impact. The truth is a powerful tool. But if only our actions weren't necessary. If only, as Jodie Evans suggested, Madam Speaker would do her job! Saddest of all is the contrast of who Pelosi once was to who she his now. For a woman who was once at the cutting edge of social progressivism, Nancy Pelosi has lost her way. She has strayed from her former social consciousness into the malaise of power. A sorry state for a woman who 32 years ago was a pivotal player in the 1976 Presidential campaign of radically progressive California Governor, Jerry Brown.

POPSChanneling Hitch LiveJournal user Deeda Blair has scanned in all the pages from 3/08 Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue. Celebrities are photographed in vignettes from Hitchcock's best-known films. Some (like Jodie Foster) are spot-on. Others (like Kiera Knightley) are the wrong actor for the role. Others (like Seth Rogan) are just...no. Taken altogether, it's a fun spread. Enjoy.

POPSJodie Comes Out Guess what conservative America? There are so many gays and lesbians in your own families. In fact, I doubt there's on American family today that doesn't count at least one gay or lesbian member somewhere in its ranks. Count them--and then love them. Isn't it totally un-Christ-like to turn against your own son or daughter, or brother or sister, just because he or she happens to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual? What difference does it make? He may be gay, but he's still your son. She may be a lesbian, but she's still your daughter. Sure, evangelical ministers and conservative politicians will continue to denounce homosexuality from the pulpit and urge parishioners to join them in denying equal rights to gays and lesbians. And some poor misguided souls will blindly agree. But their hate speech will eventually fail, as people realize those attacks are directed against the people they love the most, their family members.

POPSPublic Radio Host Says 'You talkin' to me?" In the new vigilante, post 9-11 atmosphere of fear themed movie The Brave One, Jodie Foster plays a public radio host who kicks ass and comes up against consequences. It makes me think you don't want to cross Michele Norris!
