...Komunyakaa is not only interested in the physical objects that make up war. The poems in the first section are as much about love as they are about battle. “For a woman to conceive in this place & time, / she must be in the arms of a warrior riding / down through the bloody ages,” he says in one of his earlier poems. The women in his poems both drive the war and have the mystical power to soothe and heal the wounds of battle. They are both an antidote and a cause...
...people who won't vote for him because they fear that he'll raise their taxes. Sarah Roy, an Obama supporter who owns a scrapbooking store in Warrensburg, told me that her husband is in the military; he plans to vote against Obama because McCain is a fellow warrior. In other words, if Obama - a first-term Senator with an exotic name, liberal politics and a thin résumé - doesn't win, it will be for a lot of the same reasons other Democrats have lost, including the fact that Americans have leaned toward Republican Presidents for nearly...

...Senator Jim Webb—the swaggering, foul-mouthed, warrior-author and recent convert from Reaganite to renegade Democrat—is widely popular among the heavy-drinking, heavy-praying Scots-Irish who populate the southwestern hill country. But even he barely defeated the disgustingly stupid, backyard-barbeque bigot George “Macaca” Allen in 2006, amid widespread discontent with the Bush Administration’s handling of the economy and Iraq. And a Harvard-educated, cerebral crypto-Muslim is a much harder sell, especially one with an ethnically dubious name...
This laptop, which has been out on the streets for a few weeks, is specifically designed for the road warrior who needs a rough-and-tumble machine. The brushed-aluminum skin is scratch-proof, and this semiruggedized model meets the military's standards for durability, having been drop tested from 30 in. off the ground at every conceivable angle. That means if you fumble the 2530p and drop it at airport security (as I've done before, dimpling the corners of two MacBooks), an accelerometer senses the plunge and locks the hard drive into place, protecting your data...
