POPSThe Whiner that isn't Whining Sen. John McMad can't make up his mind. The press was against him yesterday but today it wasn't. McCain has all the characteristics of a pathologically angry person. He acts rashly out of anger, then gets regrets about it and enters into a period of denial. He is too much of a loose cannon to be President.

POPSKidnappings, Riots Mar Tourism Efforts in Haiti When I wrote about the world's most dangerous destination in January (see here: http://www.forbes.com/2008/01/16/travel-world-dangerous-forbeslife-cx_rr_0117travel.html) I received a lot of criticism from Haitians who felt the news about their country was always bad. This story looks at efforts to turn Haiti into a tourist destination, including expanded cruise service and improved access to historic sites. Political instability has since interrupted those efforts, but organizers are hopeful that the situation will get better. The key thing here is that Haiti is missing out on a billion dollar industry as a result. How can they turn things around?

POPSChristian Dior vs Dunkin Donuts What an odd pairing. High fashion vs fried cake? Recently both have been seen to cave to PC fringe groups over messages they sent. Dunkin Donuts with its "terrorist" scarved spokesperson, Rachael Ray and now this, Sharon Stone making a comment about "karma" in relationship with the recent earthquakes in China. Both companies acted irresponsibly over silly, non-issues.

POPSCapt. Watson, Ship Fartley Mowat Challenge Canadian Seal hunt, Siezed Watson has argued that his vessel, registered in the Netherlands, was in international waters and that Europe will be angered by Canada's actions. Hearn said the vessel was in "Canadian territorial waters" but didn't say if it was within 12 nautical miles (19.2 kilometres) of the coastline. The minister has also said the Fisheries Act gave him the leeway to act outside the 12-mile limit. The arrests were necessary to prevent future danger to sealers, fisheries officers and observers, he said. THIS IS ODD CONSIDERING THE CANADIAN COAST GUARD JUST LOS --KILLED--4 SEALERS WHEN DOING A TOW OF THEIR BOAT. WHO IS DANGEROUS?
