And how come? Well golly -- Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush didn't refer to themselves as such, even though they involved the US in foreign conflicts: George W. Bush is fond of describing himself as a "war president." And...

Has it taken a rush of xenophobia to turn the poster-child of George H.W. Bush’s ‘the new world order’, towards a failed state? The violent attacks on foreigners which first broke out in the city of Johannesburg in mid-May, resulted in 62 deaths and many more injured and displaced. For the first time since the troubled early days of South Africa’s transition to democracy a decade...

Words matter. My grandfather, who was captured at Corrigedor , qualifies as a "war hero". He came under direct fire, exhibited bravery and solidarity in captivity, and bore the effects of his maltreatment for his entire life. John McCain is a war hero. So is John Kerry. So is George H. W. Bush. Just behind this select group of veterans are those designated as "combat veterans"....

One thing that is certain, this year is nothing like 1992. A nation mildly disinterested in a second term of George HW Bush said what the hell and handed things over to Bill Clinton. This year, a desperate nation, tired of war, poverty, torture, horrors, screaming and drowning is all but going to destroy the future of the Republican Party and deal them a defeat projected to be deafening...

Call this a caption contest for some leftover pictures from yesterday, when 1) Barack was in Iraq for a briefing on the Iraq situation by Colonel Combover, 2) John McCain went to Kennebunkport to be anointed by, er, George H.W. Bush (true story: McCain is actually 12 years younger than Bush the Elder rather than, as the picture would suggest, 12 years older), 3) Junior had...
