POPSUkraine Leader Dissolves Parliament. Parliament?
This news is so juicy -- and so deep -- that I could feast on it for weeks. But First: For My Dear Fellow Americans: Notice > Dissolve the government (temporarily), with just the mere snap of a finger. #2 > News elections - new government in two months. #3 > A small party, like say: The Greens, or Libertarians, etc. - could cause this to happen by shifting sides (and gain significant power in the process. My dear Fellow Americans, that is actual democracy. I guess I should point out, too, that's it's the second Major Move by Russia (Oh, yea...Russian is behind this)...it's the 2nd Move, after kicking back the attack from Georgia...that totally dismantles about 15 years of U.S. efforts to surround Russia, steal the oil from the Caspian Sea, etc. (All under the false flag of "spreading freedom and democracy, BTW) Repulsing the Geogian invasion was like (in chess) moving a Bishop. This Ukraine move is like moving The Queen. Attacking the missile base in Poland will

POPSPenny Postcards Tired of E-Cards??? Want to try something different for once? I found this site looking for a card for a dear friend's birthday the other day. I had to come back today to share it with all of you. It is fresh and funny and anything over a hundred years old that they can get their paws on you can find. Tagged and categorized, I do not think you can go wrong... and what was naughty 100+ years ago would not raise an eyebrow today... Oh, and monkeys are VERY BIG here! Fair warning.

POPSNow Hindus are Offended Oh dear. Now the world's Hindus had their feeling hurt by a Mike Myers's movie. From all accounts it boomed at the box office but none the less Hindus are claiming that teens... Never mind. This is so stupid that I can't even muster outrage over it. These nut jobs have surpassed themselves.

POPSThere were two royal children (German volkslied) She took him into her arms And kissed his lips so red Oh lips could you only speak So my young heart could be healed So my young heart could be healed. She wrapped her coat around her and jumped into the lake so green Good night my father and mother Never shall you see me again Never shall you see me again. The bells were tolling There was sorrow and pain for there lay two kings-children but both were oh so dead but both were oh so dead. Originalversion Audio (instrumental) Immer wieder in Tränen aufgelöst: Johanna *heul*

POPSJapan orders Apple to investigate exploding iPod nanos Oh dear, just when we thought we'd had our fill of exploding Apple devices, along comes an Australian forum member named eeno who saw his first generation iPod nano go up in flames, and has some snuff-esque pics of the aftermath. As is usually the case with these things, eeno's iPod was charging when it happened. He says the force of the battery's explosion sent the iPod off his PC onto the floor, where it continued to smoke and spark until he unplugged the USB charging cable from the back of his computer. Since his iPod is out of warranty, the local computer repair shop didn't do him much good, but they did take a few pics to send to Apple. Hopefully this iPod was just an anomaly, and we won't be seeing a whole wave of these explosions as 1G nanos exit their warranties and head towards retirement -- but somehow we fear the worst.

POPSThou And Thou Only Well, first there is denial. You gotta get them well. Then there is anger. Why me? I didn't sign up for this; well, whoops, actually I did. THEN, comes the guilt. Like the guilt of wanting to do things together like you used to when your spouse was well. The guilt of having feelings that you have to close down like feeling sorry for your God damned well ass. But they forget to mention the shame. You are in another closet of sorts, pretending to everyone that everything is ok so people don't feel "sorry" for you in their smug superiority of comparing your life which sucks to their oh so much better one. And of course the fear and isolation, even though you are around ppl all the time; it never goes away. Sexual fears slowly become your reality. Ah, and then comes acceptance. Oh wait, maybe your spouse will get better? As you can see, dear readers, I'm not there quite yet.

POPS♫ Jack Yellen / Lew Pollack: A Yiddishe Momme Of things I should be thankful for I've had a goodly share And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement three flights up in the rear to where my childhood days were spent It wasn't much like Paradise but 'mid the dirt and all There sat the sweetest angel, one that I fondly call My yiddishe mama I need her more then ever now My yiddishe mama I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles oh I know that I owe what I am today to that dear little lady so old and gray to that wonderful yiddishe mama of mine

POPSTattoos Gone Wrong! Oh dear… In line with various sites which display gross incompetencies in Hebrew tattoos, I found this picture of a woman with the Arabic word for family tattooed on her neck… But written left–to–right instead of right–to–left! Oopsie…

POPSDer Tod und das Mädchen (Death and the maiden) Matthias Claudius | English Translation Das Mädchen: | The Maiden: Vorüber! Ach, vorüber! | Pass by! Oh, pass by! Geh, wilder Knochenmann! | Go away, fierce man of bone! Ich bin noch jung, geh Lieber! | I am still young, go my dear! Und rühre mich nicht an. | And do not touch me. Der Tod: | Death: Gib deine Hand, du schön und zart Gebild! | Give me your hand, you beautiful and delicate form! Bin Freund, und komme nicht, zu strafen. | I am a friend, and am not come to punish. Sei gutes Muts! ich bin nicht wild, | Be of good cheer! I am not savage, Sollst sanft in meinen Armen schlafen! | You will sleep softly in my arms! Wikipedia Perhaps there is a better translation? Dt. Gebild should be translated as creature rather than as form .

POPSOh, What a Circus . . . There is a serious risk that without the continuing copy the late Diana provides, some British newspapers would go out of business. Please.

POPSTeenagers charged in "Mortal Kombat" tragedy Read the rest of the article, the writer makes some very good points. These kids were old enough to know better, any sane person can't place the blame on video games. the could have gotten the idea form any visual media. Movies, TV, etc. There was alchahol involved. If thye had have been watching a Van-Damm mvowie before hand the same outcome would ahve likely been reached. Stupid people make me mad. They just gave the anti-video game camp a hand of ACES in the media... Here's an idea.. take resposibility for your own fucking actions.. What about the parents here.. obviously these "kids" should not have been left in cahrge of a 7 year old...
