POPSNewsvine Acquired by MSNBC.com I haven't posted anything about this up until now because I had to give myself time to get used to the idea... get over the shock. It looks as though the motivation behind this is to enhance msnbc.com, not to change Newsvine into anything it isn't right now. And it looks as if msnbc.com publisher and president Charlie Tillinghast is well aware and sensitive to the concerns of the Newsvine community. I'm still not sure what to think, but I am hopeful because I think Newsvine is now on sound financial footing, and that's a good thing. Still, even in this state of shock I'm still in, I almost feel like dancing... we've hit the big time and that's very, very cool. And I am proud to be a part of such a vibrant community and news site. Woohaw!

POPSReid Surrenders, Betraying the Voters "Democrats said they did not relish the prospect of leaving Washington for a Memorial Day break — the second recess since the financing fight began — and leaving themselves vulnerable to White House attacks that they were again on vacation while the troops were wanting. That criticism seemed more politically threatening to them than the anger Democrats knew they would draw from the left by bowing to Mr. Bush." Scared of being called names by a man who lacks ethics? They fear Bush more than they fear losing support from the people who put them into office. Tsk, tsk... who do you represent?
