The step-grandson of an illiterate, barefoot woman in this village of mud huts in Africa may be the next president of the United States.

CANDIDATE
A McCain presidency would be no different from a Bush’s third term
It must have been Harry S. Truman, the plainest amongst our plain presidents, who scared us all into having idiots running our government by saying: “Whenever you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.” Of course, he failed to acknowledge the possibility that we could have the worst of both worlds: inefficient government and dictatorship.

What is to be learnt from Kosovo's jubilation and Serbia's humiliation?
Did anybody write on Iranian.com anything about Kosovo declaring its
