POPS Managing Risk in an Unstable World those pensions will be replaced by limited government pensions and those free retiree health benefits will vanish altogether. Eliminating risk turned out to be very risky. Which is my answer to those, like Yale Professor Jacob Hacker, who advocate public policies to reduce risk for individuals. In his book The Great Risk Shift, Hacker argues that the move over the past 25 years from defined-benefit pensions (in which an employer pays into a pension fund) to defined-contribution pensions (in which an employer pays into every employee’s personal investment account) makes life unbearably risky for ordinary people. And to be sure, almost everyone’s 401(k) account has shrunk over the last three months. But are those people worse off than Detroit Three retirees? Their 401(k)s may rise in the years ahead. The Detroit Three pensions are at risk of being permanently slashed. My own sense is that ordinary Americans are more resilient than some theorists think.

POPSNuclear/Biological Attack Called Likely There's been a lot of conversation about the President's call for military personnel to prepare for domestic action. While we sleep, our enemies do not. I'm not comfortable with the President's actions; I would like to see the call for beefing up the National Guard with more intense training. I see them as our "homeland security". But something is going on that we are not privy to and it's foolish to pretend that all things will continue as they have. Fear-mongers? Whatever.... I think we are being completely naive. Anyone who has partially kept up with the foreign news KNOWS that the threats are real and immanent. I hope Hillary and Gates are ready. :~(

POPSIraqi Parliament Passes U.S. Security Pact November 27, 2008
The pact was backed by the ruling coalition's Shi'ite and Kurdish blocs. Sunni Arab lawmakers gave their approval on the condition that a national referendum on the pact be held by July 30. But a number of deputies remain fiercely opposed to allowing U.S. troops to stay three more years in the country. A bloc of 30 lawmakers loyal to anti-U.S. Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr chanted protests and held banners at today's session. Under the deal, all U.S. military bases are to be turned over to Iraq following the U.S. withdrawal. It will also ban the United States, which currently holds some 17,000 detainees in Iraq, to hold prisoners indefinitely without charge. The pact is valid for three years, but either party can terminate it with one year's notice. U.S. President George W. Bush on November 27 congratulated the Iraqi government on passing the pact.

POPSPost Surgery Update: Barbara Bush Taken To Methodist Hospital
She was the girl who, swept off her feet by a handsome Navy aviator, dropped out of college to marry him, "the first man I ever kissed," and thence was destined for a lifetime role as Supermom. They had had their first child, George, while still at Yale in 1946. A daughter, Robin, died in 1953 of leukemia a few weeks before her 4th birthday. The other Bush children are sons Jeb, Neil and Marvin, and daughter Dorothy. For years, Bush has been a sunny presence in American life, the sort of person who would make herself and others comfortable at your kitchen table. But she also was tough. In the course of being George H.W. Bush's wife, she had to pack up and move the household 28 times before residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington in 1988. Bush disclosed she was suffering from an overactive thyroid ailment known as Graves' disease when she lived at the White House. The disease causes teary eyes and double vision in Mrs. Bush, according to her doctors.
