Anthony Weiner took center stage on the House floor to give the GOP an impassioned verbal lashing for trying to block healthcare for those made ill from toxins resulting from 9/11 . It’s nothing short of miraculous. Go Tony, go Tony, GO!
I’m obsessed with this now:

So, M. Night got a little peeved at a reporter in Mexico for calling him a sell-out and a hack… or maybe his hackness came up first, then sell-out. Whatever, potato, poh-tah-toh.
His response is kind of hilarious. He leads off with, “If I thought like you, I’d kill myself.” Um… okay. He’s also understandably defensive about the… Read More

There is no way you read my post yesterday about the Old Spice Guy and didn’t immediately fall in love with him. But did you also fall in love with Isaiah Mustafa himself? Maybe not. But I am nothing if not a facilitator of internet awesome (new popten business card title, anyone?) so feast your eyes… Read More
Unless you have been living under a rock, you are quite familiar with the body (of work) of Isaiah Mustafa. Mustafa is a former wide-receiver in the NFL, and currently has a talent contract with NBC. He might be better known to you as The Old Spice Guy (heretofore known in this post as OSG). But just in… Read More

TechCrunch is serving as the arena for a humorously neurotic war of words between Team iPhone and Team EVO 4G. The average phone user will understand exactly none of the actual terminology that is used, but you don’t have to. These sketches adhere to the timeless credo that is the backbone of any proper feud: I’m smart and… Read More

In the year since his passing, Michael’s music has enjoyed a vibrant resurgence among fans, both new and old, and is now prominently featured on my current playlist. His presence will forever be felt in the world of music, most notably through his own body of work, but also in his deep influence on every new generation of… Read More

George Carlin was a character. His most notable impression in my early life was when I first saw him as Rufus in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”. With the anniversary of his death on June 22nd, 2008 coming up Popten thought it was time for an homage to one of his best comedic performances ~

Hawkes is way more on top of her shit and already linked this video in her weekly Friday Round Up. But here it is again, for good measure (and to demonstrate that PopTenners are standup people who honor requests).
I’m a fan of Jonah. I am. Even when he shows up in rather unremarkable material. He… Read More

I don’t normally get on a soapbox, and I’m not going to do that now. Years ago I started feeling like something was wrong with our educational system, and for a long time I tried to pin point what it was that rubbed me the wrong way. I read a book called “Bomb the Suburbs” that led… Read More
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and… Read More
