POPSWhatever happened to family values? How is this not all hypocritical of the Republicans. I don't get how now it is ok to be teen & pregnant and what about the more pressing issues our country is going through - economy, dependence on foreign oil, global-warming, health care?

POPSNYT op-ed piece on Obama's speech on race I thought, this is a pretty good op-ed piece about Obama's speech on Tuesday. I thought he spoke about things that people are afraid to really acknowledge & discuss. As a society we tend to forget about the perspectives of others, because everyone is so caught up in their own experiences (of course). But maybe this will open up passionate and heated discussions on the American experience, which is varied & as diverse as the people who make up this country.

POPSJezebel's response to WP article by Charlotte Allen I love Twitter. I get exposed to things that I am not exposed to. Here is a great response (paragraph by paragraph) to Charlotte Allen's OP-ED piece on Sunday for the Washington Post. "Tongue-In-Cheek"? What a load of bullshit!?! There are lots of responses and all I can say is that article (if you want to call it that) is offensive and full of shit. I really hate it when women hate themselves. Hum, I wonder what Charlotte Allen is thinking or is she going to respond? I love that the editor of the WP responded for her.

POPSReading Is Dead Not really but that's going to be my new shirt so I can be ironic. But here is a great op-ed piece by Tim Egan from the NYT about Steve Jobs and his ridiculous comment about how people do not read. Has he looked at "People Reading" blog or all the various book review blogs that people post, has he stepped into a library (school or public or university)? Well, from where I sit behind the reference desk, or on the metro or in a park...tons of people still read.

POPSProduct Placement, even in your kids books It is the trend. It's annoying. But do the kids mind? Probably not. Nick Hornby's book is riddled with the names "Starbucks" and Tony Hawk's biography. Did it stop me from reading? No. Did it annoy the crap out of me like the way Pepsi is so prominently displayed in certain movies? YES! Here's a NYT article on the issue and 2 writers opinions. Interesting reading.

POPSOp Ed. - WSJ - Splits within parties more apparent... with Super Tuesday come and gone, I have been a bit nervous about how ugly this election with get...especially amongst the Democrats. I thought this was an interesting piece from the Wall Street Journal. Today everyone has been extremely passionate about this election. 8 years of crap and now "we" have to decide who should be our next leader. People have said "I hope those people who wanted to vote for Clinton/Obama don't decide to stay at home in November because Clinton/Obama did not win the nomination." That is one fear. Now, it will get ugly and people will be turned off. That is my second.
