POPSWhat Becomes of the Broken-Hearted? I'm not unduly excited by the political aspects of this, but wonder under what flag the bitter and broken-hearted will now gather to vent their collective despair?

POPSFacebook: Android sucks - It's vapourware (!) "Take everything together, and there could be some genuine animosity, but that's speculation.In the end, Facebook will really only hurt itself if it chooses to ignore Android. It may be a brand new mobile platform with only a handful of users, but it's sure to grow. Given the highly powerful services that Android can connect with, it would be a shame for one of the more important social networking tools to un-invite itself from the party."

POPSAlaskan Gothic On the other side of this increasingly connected world, tens of millions of Bristol's and Levi's generation in Asia are staying in school for their advanced degrees in engineering and sciences in part because someone taught them which is the business end of a condom. The children of Palin's America are prepared only to be the drones for the Asian century or cannon fodder for a futile struggle against it. And McCain endorses that message.

POPSAbortion Survivor Speaks Out What an amazing, Christ-honoring speech, completely devoid of bitterness and hate. I love the part where she says that the abortionist signed her birth certificate.

POPSDiscrimination and the race card While discrimination might well persist, the rules against it provide rich opportunities for minorities should they decide to litigate. Unfortunately, the rich pickings available could well attract less than honest complaints.

POPSIraq Takes Aim at Leaders of U.S.-Tied Sunni Groups Cont.... Even before the new pressure from the government, many Awakening members were growing frustrated — and at an especially delicate time. United States and Iraqi negotiators have just completed a draft security agreement that next year, Iraqi officials say, would substantially pull American forces back from cities and towns to be replaced by Iraqi security forces. Awakening members complain, with rising bitterness, that the government has been slow to make good on its promises to recruit tens of thousands of its members into those security forces. General Perkins said only 5,200 members had been recruited in a force of about 100,000.

POPSObama’s Speech: Consider These Goalposts Moved! For the men and women of Reverend Wright’s generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years. But the anger is real; it is powerful; and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races. Really? How about understanding its roots but not condemning it? That’s what Obama did for 20 years, implicitly lending himself to the cause of racial division — he finally admits early in the speech that he heard “remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church,” although these appear to be of a lesser grade somehow than the stuff that’s been airing on Fox — and only now with the presidency at stake has he awakened to the perniciousness of silence.

POPSIraqis wanted timed withdrawal in 2007; Bush refused Sunni, Kurd, Shi'ite joint effort quashed by US. Humiliation still lingers. Iraqi Nat'l Security advisor wrote: "While Iraq is trying to gain independence from the United States," he wrote, "some influential foreign figures" were still "trying to spoon-feed our government and take a very proactive role in many key decisions."

POPSLiberalism: Can it survive? Just another clip about bitter liberals. This was written by John Leo in the U.S. News & World Report, March 7th 2005. I clipped a great paragraph that I think sums up so many of the liberals I've encountered(perhaps not all, but many). The entire article is worth a read.

POPSHeld Two months is too little They let him go They had no sudden healing To Think That Providence Would take a child from his mother While she prays, is appalling Who told us we'd be rescued What has changed and Why should we be saved from nightmares Were asking why this happens to us Were asking... Who have died to live, it's unfair Chorus: This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and know That the promise was when everything fell We'd be held This hand is bitterness We want to taste it and Let the hatred numb our sorrows The wise hand opens slowly To lilies of the valley and tomorrow Chorus: If hope is born of suffering If this is only the beginning Can we not wait, for one hour Watching for our Savior

POPSThe Tyranny of Niceness Related to passive-aggression as a cultural descriptor rather than an individual pathology. Fear of authority, chronic anger, bitterness, and the masochistic self-disempowerment of submission (see Fromm).

POPSIt's Barack, Like It Or Not
If the candidate were the screaming Howard Dean, the superdelegates could dump him with much greater ease. But with Obama, the race issue necessarily comes into play. It's hard to imagine a scenario now in which Obama doesn't capture the nomination, even if he continues to tank. If Hillary's resurgence continues, she'll have strong arguments in favor of her nomination, but they'll have to fall on deaf ears. If the pooh-bahs decide to throw Obama overboard after he has come so close to capturing the nomination, it is inconceivable to me that a large number of African-Americans -- not to mention the far left of the party -- won't believe he was robbed, in no small part because of his race. The nation can ill afford to endure such racial bitterness, but the Democratic Party may not survive with it. We all know the party depends on a statistically monolithic constituency in the African-American community, without which it couldn't even be competitive in national elections.
