...Cynthia Cooper, the Worldcom whistleblower who was part of a Person of the Year trio in 2003, was inclined to find the heroes of the Katrina story: ?The first responders, the victims themselves and the media without whom America would not have learned of their plight.? And, she said, General Russel Honore, who took charge of the rescue effort and restored hope to the people of the Gulf Coast...
...Anderson Cooper (who glibly said, "Mother nature, yeah, she's a b____") toyed with the possibility of nominating bloggers, to honor the work they do (?in their pajamas?) in keeping America's journalists honest. But in the end, he conceded, it had to be Katrina-related, and he nominated the first-responders, ?who in this instance were the ordinary people of America, who stepped forward to help their neighbors when their government failed them...
...Norquist also suggested the natural disasters, as well as either the voters of Iraq (or, alternately, the terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who hopes to thwart them).

But then I read about it and realized that maybe she was right. I've always been distracted. I cannot stick to one thing. It's like somebody's changing channels in my brain...
...characters get the development they deserve. Gyllenhaal does a serviceable job of slowly going insane, and Sarsgaard is searing; he’s far from the fey foil he usually plays. But Foxx is forced to do the best he can with a one-dimensional role and Chris Cooper is wasted as a stereotypically foul-mouthed, hard-edged officer. “Jarhead”’s characters annoyingly avoid any mention of Bush Sr., preferring platitudes about how politics don’t matter in combat. The movie’s reluctance to explore the First Gulf...
