>Trump Hits a Bump  - James Howard Kunstler - 
What? The Donald is not "The One", who will save us from all the perils that confront us? Did he not
visit the Matrix's Oracle in Arizona. Or maybe it will instead be someone from Texas who saves us, a
place which I think still considers itself a separate country. Many world leaders have come from other countries: Stalin from Georgia (the USSR Republic), Hitler from Austria, Napoleon from Corsica, Jimmy Carter also from Georgia (not sure which one), and Obama from Kenya and Indonesia (4 years from 6 to 10 years old).
I read John McCain's entire wikipedia biography, and I could not help being greatly impressed.
However, for all his accomplishments, he seems to have consistently recommended sending more and
more of our military to places like Iraq (the second time, under the George W. - Cheney - Rumsfeld
administration - not sure I have the chain of command in the right order), Afghanistan (the troop surges),
and now to Iraq again. We never seem to accomplish anything permanent, but to change the balance of power
in the area, and encourage corrupt or nonrepresentative governments, which leads to more opportunity
for extremist sentiment In the process, too many of our other genuine heroes die or are injured. Not that our presence hasn't given encouragement to many of the moderate countries, and we have eliminated huge numbers of the enemy. But a more
selective use of our brave military might have been better.

Trump's great ability may be to raise the controversial issues in a manner which engages the entire
population. The result would be a more realistic -and MORE politically inclusive - dialogue. If that
is all he accomplishes, his candidacy is worth it.

Beginning of the headline :W as it Donald Trump or the wolverine that lives on top of his head who made the dumb crack over the weekend about Senator John McCain not being a war hero? After all, that ambiguous patch of ginger-colored fur has taken on a life of its own. If I were Trump, I’d simply disown the remark and say that the hair-thing blurted it out, ventriloquist-style, because he (Donald) forgot to feed it that morning. I just want to go on record to say that if John McCain is not a war hero — what with getting s... Read More
