POPSPolitical Satire Stronger Than Candidates This is a good article about extra-wonderful satire and Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin (the first quote clipped here)...and a couple of nice slashes at Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden. These comedy sketches are becoming more well-known than the candidates themselves. Many folks now, when they hear Palin speak, wonder ahead to how SNL will parody it. Palin, certainly, gives the comics a lot of material to work with. A link to a video of the skits is at the bottom of this article. With the elections just a bit more than three weeks from now, we have to "press on," -- these Republicans are like vampires and to kill them you really have to drive a stake through their heart: They're not dead till they're dead. At least with our talented comics we not only can 'press on,' but laugh-on as well.

POPSLarge Hadron Collider Stalled till Spring '09 This must be frustrating for physicists who have waited decades to smash particles together in exciting new ways. But those of us with (scientifically debunked) fears of being swallowed by an LHC-triggered black hole can breathe a sigh of relief. For now.

POPSRe: Obama, the World's President [Mark Steyn] You mean economic sanctions? Expulsion from the Olympics? Moving the Oscars to Belgium? Jonathan Freedland isn't spelling it out but he's not happy: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/sep/10/uselections2008.barackobama/print Mark Steyn said: British reports on the presidential campaign are weirdly reminiscent of coverage of pre-independence elections in ramshackle parts of Africa where the Colonial Office has picked out the chap it wants for Prime Minister six months earlier only to discover at the last minute that the wretched natives are too dim to go along with it. If you think Iraq isn't ready for democracy, it's apparently years ahead of America. As for the planet boiling, wait till November 5th.

POPSTexas Republican Has Had Enough "I am a doctor - I have worked at the VA for years. I have not met a single POW EVER that is emotionally fit to be in the position that McCain will be if he wins - and yet no one even talks about it. " Stunning read..eye opening

POPSUniteds nya tröj-sponsor? United har bidragit till den senaste tidens finansoro genom att belasta AIG (nu till 80% köpt av amerikanska riksbanken) med Englands högsta reklam-kostnad. Så våra bostadsräntor är alltså indirekt beroende på hur många straffar Christiano lyckas filma till sig :)

POPSYou Fornicated At Your Own Peril "It's cool that the filmmakers explore the beginnings of the gay and lesbian pride movement, and how the Stonewall uprising of 69 was the watershed moment in the movement. But it would've been nice if the directors had acknowledged that it was black and Puerto Rican drag queens such as the late Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera who got things started back when the cops showed up at the Stonewall Inn."
