POPSHaaretz editor: Israel facing existential crisis The outgoing editor of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz spoke at the London Jewish Book Week. On the 2005 Chris McGreal series that appeared in the Guardian, comparing Israel to South Africa: Landau was "outraged" by the articles at the time, but went on: "I don't feel like that any more. I don't feel that my outrage did sufficient justice to that piece of journalism because I feel that we in Israel have got ourselves into a situation in which we will indeed be facing a South African dilemma. "We will have a country in which we will become the minority and the majority will be denied their political and civil rights. When I re-read the Chris McGreal reports I no longer feel necessarily that that was totally tendentious. It might have been a prophetic piece of journalism. But the point is that the outrage which I gave voice to was an inadequate reaction. The reaction should have been: 'has he got a point?'"

POPSDinosaurs Diversified Over Time, not Suddenly During this epoch of riotous biodiversity, flowering plants, social insects, butterflies, modern groups of lizards, mammals, and possibly birds, too, all emerged. Some experts have suggested that dinosaurs were also part of the show, as so many weird fossils, such as duckbilled hadrosaurs, horned ceratopsians, pachycephalosaurs and other wonders, date from this time. But a new study, published on Wednesday in a British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, says that dinosaurs were less than a sideshow in the DNA spectacular. Researchers led by Graeme Lloyd of the University of Bristol, western England, devised a "supertree" of dinosaur evolution, patiently analyzing how more than 450 species -- about 70 percent of the known finds -- developed.

POPSCNN Headlines "Climate Change Killing Children" The loony left is at it again. Blaming global warming on what is essentially mismanagement of resources and graft. Anytime you don't feed a kid, it will of course be malnourished. The people of Timor got along just fine until Western Civilization entered and caused them to divert from their successful hunting/gathering/farming way of life. The real tragedy here isn't the boogy man of "global warming". It's the spectre of Global Liberalization that is killing kids.

POPSElectricity company without grounds. As tragic as this incident is, the greater tragedy comes when people do not read the article correctly. I publish this reply from a Daily Mail reader as example. Surely EON have a case to answer in causing this tragic death. I would be taking them to the highest court in the land for millions! A disgrace beyond comprehension. - Guy, Exeter, 04/7/2008 17:26 What part of suicide bid does the reader not understand

POPSMugabe Spoils for a Fight Lying is in political vogue these days. And it seems that the more blatant the lie the more easily it slips off the tongue How often do we need to hear proclamations of peace from obviously non-peaceful countries. Admittedly, Zimbabwe has not directly attacked it's bordering neighbors. Yet the millions of refugees his failed state has produced could be seen as a human tragedy shared by all the surrounding countries. And does this man have room for bluster. Apparently so. With all the chaos in his country he seems to find time to rattle a few sabers of his own.

POPSWe're Winning The War On Terror quoted: This is why we fight. Primarily, of course, to protect ourselves from the immediate threat of terrorist carnage, but also because we know that extending the embrace of a civilization that liberates everyone makes us all safer. Every death is an unspeakable tragedy. It's right that each time a soldier is killed in action we ask why. Was it really worth it? The right response to the loss of brave souls such as Corporal Sarah Bryant, the first British woman to die in Afghanistan, is not an immediate call for retreat. It is, first of all, pride; a great, deep conviction that it is on such sacrifice that our own freedoms have always rested. Then, defiance. How foolish is the enemy that it might think our grief is really some prelude to their victory? Finally, confidence. We are prevailing in this struggle. We know it. And everywhere: in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and among Muslims around the world, the enemy knows it too.

POPSSorry, Tea Leaves Indicate a Leaking Teabag To get to the meat of this issue you'll have to delve deeper than this clip. Consider this clip a teaser only. So, you've had an "experience" that made you a believer? These are as common as dirt. What most people forget are the untold "misses" they've experienced in their lives. It's similar to the positive hits from prayer that gives believers such faith that their cosmic begging stuff is actually working! Read the piece and open your eyes. It takes a bit of effort but you'll find that you'll be able to see much better afterwards.

POPSWe Live "We live we love, we forgive and never give up" There's a cross on the side of the road Where a mother lost a son How could she know that morning he left Would be the last time she'd trade with him for a little more time So she could say she loved him one more time And hold him tight But with life we never know When we're coming to the end of the road So what do we do then With tragedy around the bend? Chorus: (2 xs) We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above Today we remember to live and to love There is a man who waits for the tests To see if the cancer has spread yet And now he asks, so why did I wait to live till it was time to die? If I could have the time back how I'd live Life is such a gift So how does this story end? Well this is your story and it all depends So don't let it become true Get out and do what we were meant to do Chorus: (2 xs) Waking up to another dark morning People are mournin

POPSCheers, President Bush, You Win! And through it all you avoided repercussions. Even losing GOP House and Senate majorities hasn’t slowed you down much. There's so much raw evidence to impeach your ass that it would be as easy as Dick Cheney shooting a lawyer in the face. The rap sheet is a mile long. Yet you remain 100 percent unscathed, threatened by nothing more than a pretzel getting stuck in your craw. That's amazing. My peasant hat is off to you.
