...talk about the issues. Though the post-impeachment Clinton presidency was able to govern without addressing the issues, we can only hope the next president will consider the many-faceted challenges that face our nation, from U.N. bills and international peace negotiations, to Social Security and budget reform, to the seemingly escalating cycles of hate and violence in America's streets, schools and homes.

After months of massing his troops at the border, CNN reports that the man with mixed feelings about WWII has scheduled a press conference for October 25 to announce (finally!) that he?s joining the Reform party and gunning for its presidential nomination.

This month, Trump ? perhaps the most credible of the crop of celebrity political newcomers due to his decades of business leadership ? saw his unfavorable ratings climb to 58 percent immediately after he announced the formation of a presidential exploratory committee.
