Ret. Gen. Colin Powell is apparently a Meerkat Manor fan. Check out this nugget from theAtlantic.com.
Powell said he was doing his best not to make news; he joked that he put a moratorium on political television in his house from 5pm to 10pm and watched Animal Planet instead. It seems that Colin Powell is a fan of Meerkat Manor.

More in the media...
A director at Arizona State University recently won a big book award for his children's book about... meerkats. From ASU:
Conrad J. Storad's book “Meerkats” was the first children’s book to ever garner the Best Book Award from the Arizona Book Publishing Association.
“The judges liked it because it presented facts and interesting information in a fun and entertaining manner for young readers,” he says. “The photography in the book is also quite excellent.”
Storad says he watched many episodes of the popular Discovery Channel program “Meerkat Manor” in conducting background research for the book. The book is just one of more than 100 titles in the Early Bird Nature Book series published by the Lerner Publishing Group in Minneapolis, Minn. Storad has written many titles for that series, including four new ones: “Gila Monsters,” “Javelinas,” “Galapagos Tortoises” and “Piranha.”
