...McCain went to Annapolis and became a pilot, and when asked he couldn't remember how many homes he and his wife owned! Talk about élitism! And do some people think that going against the party line one out of 10 times is a maverick? And he cannot answer a simple question about how he defines honor. No doubt he will later say how he regrets giving up his honor for expediency yet again as he has done so often. What a horror of a candidate - the U.S. and the world deserve better.

Put alongside this the stationing of rockets in Poland, radar posts in the Czech Republic, and America's flirt-and-more with the states of the once "soft underbelly" of the (Soviet) Russian bear, among them Georgia.

Only hard-nosed diplomacy constitutes an alternative to war, and only an impartial go-between can be accepted by the two parties...

...They leave a residue in the mouth.” But Richey was still ambivalent about whether the state should impose a ban. “Even though I don’t use trans fats myself, I am still uncomfortable with the government legislating what we can or cannot eat.” Richey alluded to recent bans on foie gras in cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles. The French delicacy remains controversial because geese and ducks are force-fed to enlarge their liver. Augustus co-sponsored a similar state ban on foie gras in Massachusetts...

...government. Neither side trusts the other. Tensions between Arabs and Kurds are also on the rise in several northern districts of Iraq, as well as between al-Maliki and his Kurdish coalition partners in Baghdad. Provincial elections are to be held by the end of this year, but they cannot go ahead until a law governing them is passed. But politicians remain deadlocked over the law, unable to agree on the status of the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk, which Kurds want to claim as part of their semi-autonomous northern region...
