POPS07/01 Horoscope Too true... I always complain that Cameron isn't romantic enough, but I don't encourage him either. Time to do some work. :)

POPSHis genius is my genius A clue to the irrationality that sport can inspire is this: that it enables us to empathise, not with someone like us, but with someone most unlike us. Insofar as we are able to understand and appreciate what that someone does, so we are able to claim him as our own. I wonder if there is a parallel here with the unreasonable possessiveness men can have for a woman, with however little justification. The logic seems to be: I am able to appreciate your beauty, therefore it, and you, belong to me.

POPSDr. Seuss: The Amazing Obama Flip Flop Machine McCain’s still trying to get some traction. But when he points to my lies, I just call it a “distraction.” I laugh and I smile and charm the voters relentless. And in November, I hope they’re defenseless. If I con enough voters before they catch on, I’ll have a big party on the White House lawn.

POPSOnly The World "There ain't no way I'm giving in... I know the best is still yet to come" Been a hard one Been a bad one Been a tough one Been a sad one It's been just one of those days That keeps chipping away at my heart Nothin' new here It's what I do here It's a stereotypical day in the life I'm surrounded by all of the pain and the strife But I know it's alright Chorus: 'Cause it's only the world I'm living in It's only today I've been given There ain't no way I'm giving in 'Cause it's only the world I know the best is still yet to come 'Cause even when my days in the world are done There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me Anybody, do you hear me?

POPSAmerica Becoming Land of Surveillance Despite lack of evidence that it is effective, or evidence that proves it is not from UK studies. But the security merchandisers are making a fortune and state and local governments are impulsively spending faster than a woman with a credit card: .P. Freeman said the domestic market for such systems last year had doubled over five years, to $9.2 billion, and estimated that it would more than double again by 2010, to more than $21 billion. You are paying for your loss of liberty, while they profit, which is insult to injury. It's worth wondering how many government officials own stock in security companies, which would be a conflict of interest in that lawmakers also profit through authorizing this spending.

POPSI Am A Zombie Filled With Light This is the beginning of a really great short story. Not really science fiction... just great fiction. Unless you think there is going to be a zombie apocalypse in which case this is great preparation for doomsday.

POPSSarcasm Seen as Evolutionary Survival Skill It's also easy to imagine how sarcasm might be selected over time as evolutionarily crucial. Imagine two ancient humans running across the savannah with a hungry lion in pursuit. One guy says to the other, "Are we having fun yet?" and the other just looks blank and stops to figure out what in the world his pal meant by that remark. End of friendship, end of one guy's contribution to the future of the human gene pool. Fast forward a few million years and the network of human relationships is wider and more complex, and just as important to survival. The corporate chairman throws out a sarcastic remark and those who "get" it laugh, smile, and gain favor. In the same way, if the chair never makes a remark, sarcastic people are making them behind his or her back, forming a clique by their mutually negative, but funny, comments. Either way, sarcasm plays a role in making and breaking alliances and friendship.
