 PopPolitics.com. Pop Culture. Politics. All too often they are kept apart -- political coverage is found in the "news" section while subjects like film and television are covered in "entertainment" or "lifestyles."We like to think of PopPolitics as the gray area, the place where it all comes together and begins to make sense. We plan on straddling the line between the two cultures: crossing it, blurring it and erasing it at will. (This is a very cool little website. Covers lots of material in the mediasphere. The current article on "Men In Black 2" perfectly nails the crass over-commercialization of the 2002 summer movie season.)

 Strike looms large over All-Star Game - CNNSI. "From everything I've heard, we're not going to set a strike date tomorrow," Arizona pitcher Curt Schilling said Sunday. "We're just going to give authority to perhaps do something in the future." In 1994, players met in Pittsburgh on the day before the All-Star break and didn't set a strike date. Seventeen days later, on July 28, they called for an Aug. 12 walkout. The strike lasted 232 days and wiped out the World Series for the first time since 1904. (Well if they go on strike this time, I say f*#k them all. Right now, baseball sucks. It's boring. All it is bad pitching, homeruns, and strikeouts. These morons have ruined everything. It's filled with a bunch of overpaid, whiny, steroid freaks who don't even honor the game and who come off as jackasses everytime a mic is put in their faces, and it's run by a bunch of greedy, businessmen who appear to be bozos for paying these dullards millions in the first place. I haven't seen a baseball game since Game 7 of the World Series last year, and I don't think I've missed a thing.)
