Bitter

- Scott Miller Hat tip to Michelle Malkin on the great Obama graphic. Well, well, well… looks like Obama’s having trouble connecting with those “bitter” working class (whatever that means) voters. You know the ones that “cling to their guns and their religion”… we call them Reagan Democrats. In case you missed it with all the John Edwards [...]

Just when we think we have it figured out, another government study comes along to bust our bubble and destroy our self-confidence and our sanity.

Super Aguri had withdrawn from Formula One racing - that news broke this week and it came as a bitter blow to all those involved, but in particular to driver Anthony Davidson. After years of toil as a Honda tester, it was Super Aguri who finally gave Davidson a full-time race seat. As he prepares to spend the Turkish Grand Prix on the sidelines, the Briton discusses his reaction to recent events - and his belief that his F1 career is far from over… Here is an interview with Anthony Davidson on this occasion.

From Michelle Malkin Are you ready for hope and change? Barack Obama better hope his bitter half has a change of attitude if she expects to assume the title of first lady in November. She’s been likened to John F. Kennedy’s wife, what with her chic suits and pearls and perfectly coiffed helmet hair. But when [...]

Sugarcane farmers are facing losses amid massive smuggling from Thailand and low input prices at major factories. Everyday, 300-400 tons of refined sugar is being smuggled through the southwest border, causing losses of millions of dong to state coffers, said Dr. Ha Huu Phai, Secretary General of the country’s Sugarcane and Sugar Association. Vietnamese sugar cannot compete with its Thai

So Microsoft ’s $44.6 billion takeover bid of Yahoo ends with less than a whimper. I’m not shocked.

Not from a technology or innovation standpoint, but from a business perspective. There’s general agreement [...]

I’ve just been watching Michelle Obama’s Friday speech in Durham on C-SPAN. Actually, in the spirit of full disclosure I have to admit that I gave up before the end.

Bitter Moon (1992)1400 MB 2:13:36 Eng. XviD, 256 kb/s 640x336The film begins with the camera focused on the sea and the waves, and the music with the piano playing to good effect, then an increasingly enlarging zooming shot of a porthole. Then to the cruise liner where the four main characters are based. It is a story narrated and told by Oscar, played by Peter Coyote, who is -bound, to Nigel, played by Hugh Grant, a man he meets on the cruise. Nigel is intrigued by an entwining and serpentine tale Oscar tells him, and so are we, and even though it starts to sound incredulous, he has to return to Oscar's quarters to hear more. The tale is so engrossing because it concerns Oscar's beautiful, sultry and seductive wife, Mimi, played mesmerisingly by Emmanuelle Seigner. Oscar is entranced

BNP hopeful Barnbrook & fiancee ballerina Simone Clarke With a distinct sartorial style which worries even his most extremist supporters, and a background as a "visionary" artist whose most notable work was a homo-erotic film, Richard Barnbrook is an unusual Far Right leader, to say the least. But on Thursday, this is the man who hopes to become the first neo-fascist mayor of London. Even when Barnbrook fails in that endeavour, as he most certainly will, he is likely to be elected as the first British National Party member of the Greater London Assembly. Eleven of the 25 available seats are decided by proportional representation, and the extreme Right-wing party needs only a 0.2 per cent increase on its share of the 2004 election vote to gain one. I

We know who you’re talking about, Barack Obama, when you talk about Pennsylvania and the Midwest, about small towns where the jobs have left. We know who you’re talking about when you talk about those who “get bitter” and “cling to guns or religion.” You’re talking about “those people.”

We are all made too aware of the fact that a very high percentage of marriages end in divorce across the world (about 40-45%); and we all have heard about vicious custody battles between parents for visitation with their children.  But a new battle has been raging between couples going through a divorce: who gets [...]

Democrats in Iowa first started caucusing on January 3rd and after nearly 5 months of elections the race is still not over. How many times have we heard pundits argue that the race would be over after super Tuesday, mini-super Tuesday, or Pennsylvania? Barack Obama spoke in Springfield, Illinois on February 10, 2007 to officially announce his candidacy for president. Hillary Clinton gave her living room “I’m in” speech on January 22, 2007. Nearly a year and a half after this race began, Democrats are becoming agitated and worried. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer and told the remaining undecided superdelegates to make up their mind “starting now”. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority L

Maher has to apologize to Catholics, but will he apologize to all Christians?Bill Keller, LivePrayer.comI am actually amazed that his bosses at HBO have forced Christian-hater Bill Maher to apolgize for calling Pope Benedict XVI a "Nazi" and "the leader of a pedophile cult," and making other disparaging remarks about Catholics on his weekly HBO program. While I am glad to see Maher forced to apolgize for his remarks about the Pope, I have no expectation that he will be apologizing to all Christians for decades of hate filled rhetoric targeting God's Word, our Lord, and those who have put their faith in Him.Friday night on his HBO program, Maher issued his "apology." What a joke. In true Maher fashion, it was simply another opportunity for him to state his hatred for the Christian faith i

The Devils 2007-08 season came to a bitter end last night, after they lost a heartbreaking 5-3 Game 5 to the New York Rangers at the Prudential Center. With less than 7 minutes to go in the third period, you could tell the Rangers were going to win. John Madden was awarded a penalty shot — and he missed.I'll have some closing thoughts on the season later — including a controversy where Martin Brodeur refused to shake hands with Sean Avery, the inordinate amount of Rangers fans in the building yet again last night and how the Devils truly never had a home-ice advantage in this playoff series.In the meantime, here are highlights from last night's game, courtesy of the NHL and The Sporting Network of Canada.

(originally posted at The Bamboo Diaries) Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days (which you might be if you live in a small town), you may have heard that presidential candidate Barack Obama has kicked up a shitstorm (or more accurately, the handlers of his opponents have) for daring to suggest that people in small towns are bitter and accordingly embrace right-wing causes. Here’s the full quote: It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. Guess what, people, he’s right. How dare I say this? As John Cougar Mellencamp sings it, I grew up in a small town. I can’t say that I will live and die

Obama mocks a Paladin of Ilmater at a Pennsylvania gathering. Barack Obama drew the ire of gamers across Pennsylvania for making the following comments before the Scranton PS3 club: "Look, you got these guys- umm- they don't have a lot of social interaction- nobody likes them- and they're feeling the pinch from competing role-playing games like the Hero system and even electronic, console-based PS-3- so they're bitter. They cling to their dice- their pencil and paper-based Dungeon and Dragons- probably still using the 2nd edition rules, mind you- I was asking some of my independent graphic prose supporters- 'Can you imagine them telling each other that they want to lower their armor class [laughter]?' ... watching the world pass them by. So it's no wonder that they feel antipathy to peop

During a political speech in San Francisco Barack Obama made a so called “gaffe” which led to many calling him an elitist. Obama said small town Pennsylvanians that have lost their jobs may "get bitter [and] cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”Pundits and political opponents were quick to interpret these comments as sounding elitist by calling small town people “radicals” or “crazy gun toting racists”.Clinton and McCain both called Obama an “elitist”. Over the weekend the media also spent a lot of their time discussing whether or not his comments made him “elitist”.“[Clinton and McCain]Both of whom have spent decades in Washington saying I

What a weekend! Obama sticks his foot in his mouth and the whole World nearly grinds to a halt.  The Neo-Conservative Apologists like William Kristol are calling him a Godless Commie. ...and this is just April.    However, Obama's poll numbers continue to hold steady, so, It might just be the fact that people are looking at all this and thinking like I do, that it is all rather silly.   I have to say that I very much agree with that sentiment, I believe all of this, is rather silly myself, I really wish, that if people are going to attack Obama, attack him on this Politics, not on the blatant silly nonsense, that they have been attacking him with.    Frankly, I am surprised that the Main Stream media did not pick up on the story of Rev.

Barack Obama, who has come under attack by his presidential rivals for describing small-town voters as "bitter," seems to be weathering the storm to this point as far as voters are concerned. He maintains a 10 percentage point lead over Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, 50% to 40%, according to the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

Bill Clinton wrote in 2004 almost exactly what Obama said the other day -- that if Republicans cut funding to the things the middle class cares about, the middle class would embrace the Republican "strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns."Hillary's attacks on Barack? Hypocrisy.

Incredible. I knew his politics were radical from his memoir. But I had no idea that his contempt for middle America was so complete.Do the Democrats dare nominate someone so completely clueless about the heartland?...

The therapeutic properties of bitter melon, a vegetable used traditional Chinese meals and medicine, make it a powerful treatment for Type 2 diabetes. Four compounds found in bitter melon all appear to activate the enzyme AMPK, a protein well known for regulating fuel metabolism and enabling glucose uptake. Exercise activates AMPK in muscle, which in turn mediates the movement of glucose transporters to the cell surface, a very important step in glucose uptake. The compounds isolated in bitter melon perform a very similar action to that of exercise.

Tim Burton has been making unique movies, most of them are artistic if not odd, gothic-themed, and colourful.

It seems that Bitter Orange (Citrus aurantium aka sour orange, bigarade orange and Seville orange) is the “other” ephedra, and as such has similar side effects. Natural remedies for losing weight that have Bitter Orange in them are marketed as Ephedra Free when in reality their chemical make up is almost a mirror image of the ephedrine in Ephedra. This is just one reason why you need to be carefully reading labels and researching ingredients on any product you are considering for your weight loss journey. Bitter orange Bitter Orange contains synephrine and octopamine, chemicals that may cause high blood pressure, and heart disturbances. This herbal can also inhibit the metabolism of many drugs meaning it would increase the amount of the drug in your body and the risk of adverse side e

Bitter gourd, either you love it or hate it. I have seen many people who initially hated this bitter, odd looking vegetable and lately fall in love with it.

Feeling like you’re in a state of persistent unhappiness brought on by a recent string of negative life events? You could be suffering from a new reactive disorder called Post Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED); a disorder that has been introduced as a subtype of adjustment disorders.Conceptually, this disorder is similar to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) however; the symptoms are not caused by severely traumatic life events. The manifestation of this disorder is through prolonged embitterment, severe psychopathological symptoms and great impairment in most areas of life in reaction to a severe negative, but non-threatening life event. PTED is characterized by experiences of injustice, violation of basic beliefs, embitterment and intrusions. Most often this disorder is due

This has been circulating around so I thought I would share it here too… Secular Homeschooling The Bitter Homeschooler’s Wish List By Deborah Markus, from Secular Homeschooling Magazine, Issue #1, Fall 2007 1 Please stop asking us if it’s legal. If it is — and it is — it’s insulting to imply that we’re criminals. And if we were criminals, would we admit it? 2 Learn what the words “socialize” and “socialization” mean, and use the one you really mean instead of mixing them up the way you do now. Socializing means hanging out with other people for fun. Socialization means having acquired the skills necessary to do so successfully and pleasantly. If you’re talking to me and my kids, that means that we do in fact go outside now and then to visit the other human beings on the planet, and you can safely assume that we’ve got a decent grasp of both concepts. 3 Quit interrupting my kid at her dance lesson, scout meeting, cho

Der Mensch ist ein Gewohnheitstier. Und wenn er einmal zulange von einer Sache weg war fällt es mensch sehr schwer wieder zurück zu finden. Ob beruflich nach der Babypause oder auch nach sehr langer Verletzung beim Sport. Und so auch im Privatleben: nach Trennung aus langjähriger Beziehung sind Menschen oft völlig überfordert dabei wieder am Paarungsmarkt erfolgreich zu werden...Ein neuer Singletypus?Nach den Yuppies, Dinks, Dins und Nimbys haben wir endlich wieder mal eine neue Abkürzung: die Saltys. Wie das T-Online Portal berichtet wollen US-Forscher (wer sonst) nun einen neuen Typus am Partnerschaftsmarkt herausgefunden haben, wobei Salty für "Single after long-term relationship" steht. In Wahrheit muss man sich solche Forschungsergebnisse in der Praxis so vorstellen dass einer der Jungs sagt "Hey Leute, mir ist eine kecke Abkürzung eingefallen." und dann wird solange rumgetüftelt bis man damit eine ausreichend große Bevölkerungsgruppe abdeckt die sich a) nicht wehren ka

We've all been there. Broken up with our girlfriend (the slut) and been really pissed off (bitch). So what's a guy to do? And what if she left a bunch of her crap at your abode?

I think I am about to start living Bitter Is The New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass,Or, Why You Should Never Carry A Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office. If you haven't read this book, then you wouldn't know that it is about Jen Lancaster's experiences after being laid-off when the tech boom went bust. It chronicles her insane job interviews and some of the temp jobs she had. A particular favorite is the temp job where the woman, that told her what her duties would be, insisted she take notes on things like how to get to the bathroom and how to make copies. Ms. Lancaster then started writing down bitchy and sarcastic remarks about everything she was told. I laughed so hard I cried. I guess I should have been crying because her experiences are now mine.Over the past few months I have applied for I don't know how many lawyer jobs. I've even had some good interviews. I've tried to get on with legal placement people for temporary w

Raccolgo istantaneamente la segnalazione di Icdui (salute!), che mi informa dell’esistenza del cantante Roger Moore, programmatissimo da Virgin Radio (mai sentito nominare). Ora, non ho ben capito se Icdui (ri-salute!) è indignato perchè l’artista infanga il buon nome del vecchio 007, oppure perchè propone una cover talmente rock che per sonorità potrebbe essere paragonata solo al “Ballo del qua qua” di Romina Power. Se è per il secondo motivo, sappi, caro Icdui (ma un’aspirina no?) che c’è chi ha osato fare ben di peggio.

Australia kicks off bitter election campaign(AFP) AFP - Australian Prime Minister John Howard warned Monday of a tough and closely fought election next month as he and centre-left rival Kevin Rudd kicked off their campaigns in earnest. Bookmark to:

A pair of reports out of the United Kingdom suggest that wine could some day replace beer as the favorite drink of British pub regulars.First, a study commissioned by French wineries and funded by the French Ministry of Agriculture states that by 2039 more men will be ordering wine at pubs than calling for pints. The report says that many British men already have a pint at the start of the evening before shifting to wine. The primary reasons given were that a second pint of beer gave them a bloated feeling (68 percent) and the wine selection in the pub was better than the beer offerings (52 percent). The one statistic in the French study that has to trouble U.K. brewers more than any other is that 72 percent of the 1,000 British men surveyed said they consider wine to be a more sociable drink than beer.Before you dismiss the study as purple stained French propaganda, consider the numbers just released by the British Beer and Pub Association that show the British are drinking less for t

During the Clinton administration the tension between Gore and Hillary was palpable. And while having a Vice President as engaged as Dick Cheney is unusual having a VP as non-involved as Al Gore was just as unusual. Much of this can be traced directly back to Hillary being so involved and yes, even in competition with Al Gore. Luckily this left him time to invent the internet. ~RJH NewsMax article link Hillary and Gore in Bitter Feud A new book reveals the deep division that developed between Vice President Al Gore and first lady Hillary Clinton during Bill Clinton’s years in the White House. “For Love of Politics — Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years” by Sally Bedell Smith claims that Hillary not only tried to usurp Al Gore’s role as vice president, she cost him the presidency in the 2000 election by draining funds and resources away from his campaign in favor of her Senate bidThe bitter feelings between Gore and 2008 presidential candidate Hillary are said to per

Nina Nastasia- I Write Down Lists, Odd Said the Doe, Our Discussion, and Late Night From: You Follow Me [Fatcat, 2007]This is probably the first time that these two words have ever been uttered in the same sentence- free-jazz folk. But, that's exactly what Nina Nastasia's latest album entitled "You Follow Me" sounds like. I know some of you won't agree with me on this, but I'm not saying it sounds like Milford Graves or Sunny Murray. The drums just sound like they could easily be accompanied by squalling saxophones and trumpets. Steve Albini, the highly revered sound engineer on Nastasia's previous albums and founding member of Shellac, is manning the boards again with his trademark drum sound remaining perfectly intact on this recording. Nastasia is joined on the record by Jim White from the Australian group the Dirty Three whose inventive free-form drumming creates a sound that is entrancing and complex. Nina's haunting and fragile vocals complement her bittersweet tales of lon

The Anatomy Room Whilst staring at a clearly enlarged heart (not far off dinner plate size!) which had been cut in halves through coronal section, one of the anatomy professors walks over to me and quizzes me on the atria, ventricles and major vessels coming in and out of it. I pause for a second whilst noticing this black/gray grainy material in the walls of the heart chamber. “Is it like this because of haemochromatosis?” I blurt out. … “Err, well it could be?! Why do you think that is then?” The professor asks me, looking puzzled. “Oh err…saw it in Greys Anatomy.” I reply, clearly not thinking about what I was saying. His face lights up. “Ah! Excellent! Glad to see you’re reading up on these things!” Comes an over enthusiastic reply. I smile sheepishly and walk on to the next specimen. That wasn’t the Grays Anatomy I was talking about. ********** Cell Biology Practical We’re trying to convert milimoles and micromoles of creatinine into correct units for an

It was so great seeing yesterday's family but it was also a bit emotional as it is my last session as a resident of Nebraska. I adore all of my clients--honestly, I really do but there's a special place in my heart for the first couple of families I met here. Speaking of special places in my heart, here's a little boy I don't think I will ever forget--remember him:::I'm pretty sure I've never captured an "inside" joke before but this picture would definitely qualify as my first:::We went to the lake and walked down the trail where we were in search of squirrels, rabbits and of course, GIRLS.Little Mr. Fearless, there was no ledge too high:::And I mean FEARLESS. He was on his way down in this pic, I kid you not:::Two of my all time favorites:::Now, off to pack. Move date is Thursday!!

If everything in the world worked out as it should, Ben Weasel would be rock n' roll royalty. As a member of Screeching Weasel, The Riverdales, and now solo, he has been churning out catchy and often provocative pop-punk songs for over twenty years. He has been both praised and criticized but has always come out on top. Ben Weasel should be king. In fact, he is the only guy that my wife has ever said she'd leave me for. No joke.What I'm actually getting at here is that Ben Weasel has just released his first new album in 5 years and it is everything I'd hoped for and more. The album is called These Ones Are Bitter and I don't want to sound like I'm exaggerating, but there isn't a dull moment of filler on the entire album. It is stunningly phenomenal Ben Weasel penned pop punk which also features Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor from the All-American Rejects on guitar and drums respectively as well as Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio on bass. I think I need to sit down before

The Verdict: Harveys Sussex Best Bitter has as a bite to it. I like it, but it might be a bit too bitter for me. This is surprising. It's surprising because when people page "Bitter, party of 1," well, I usually turn around.
