POPSRumsfeld's Personal Aide attacks his Post War Planning Stephen Herbits, a lawyer and longtime Rumsfeld friend going back to 1967. Herbits had been one of Rumsfeld's civilian special assistants during his first Pentagon tour. Rumsfeld made him a consultant with a license to analyze current problems, and he functioned as a management fix-it man, somewhat as Karl Rove did for Bush.

POPS Endangered Mountain Gorillas in the Crossfire International wildlife groups concerned about the welfare of the gorillas are funding a $100,000-crisis management program to increase the number of rangers patrolling the habitat. "This appalling security situation is making it virtually impossible to implement the emergency program. There is a lot that we need to be doing, and we simply cant," said Lucy Fauveau of the London Zoological Society. Earlier this month, hundreds of people, including rangers and their families, fled the park after fighting broke out. Wildlife groups said huge swaths of the park, including several patrol posts, had been occupied by Nkunda's insurgents and looted.

POPSNew research shows diet and exercise may change how genes act "These genes are the target of many new drugs that are being developed. Clearly, changing lifestyle is less expensive, and the only side-effects are good ones. Dr. Craig Venter’s pioneering research is showing that one way to change your genes is to synthesize new ones. Another may be to change your lifestyle." This research have a very small sample size so it doesn't prove much but I found it very interesting.

POPSGiuliani as Mayor: A Look at the Darker Side Thanks for the insight Joe Bierman. I could not have said it better....especially the following: "After seven years of similarly arrogant and petty leadership that has devastated our country’s reputation around the world, we can ill afford another president whose style of leadership can be summed up not just by the directive “My way or the highway” but, more accurately, “My way, or else!”

POPSHow China Got Religion It's very interesting that they're stamping out Tibetan Buddism with American-style capitalism. Maybe we should attack the Iraqi insurgents with karaoke bars and Disney theme parks. P.S. Could I apply to be reincarnated in New Zealand?

POPS"Tropic Thunder" Comedy Mocks Hollywood And Movie-Makers
To save the movie, director Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan) decides to shoot it documentary-style, with his actors improvising in the jungle. But that idea also goes awry, and the gun-toting actors find themselves up against a drug lord and his minions' real guns. The premise is amusing, though the actual plotting doesn't always make sense, especially when the actors have to face the real-life villains. And as it goes along, the pleasure is not so much from character development as a series of set pieces, such as African-American Chino's view of Lazarus' vision of an African-American, or Grossman's attempts at crisis management. Indeed, Cruise may be the funniest thing in the movie, although he gets competition, notably from Downey and from Jay Baruchel as Kevin Sandusky, the non-star in the acting ensemble. And movie buffs will have fun picking up on the allusions to other films, especially Apocalypse Now. http://www.tropicthunder.com/home.html
