Facing Our Madrid
The violence in Iraq has a purpose: to influence America's presidential election.


 

Politicize This!
Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Team America" is a mean-spirited, fall-down funny satire. But it isn't spoofing who you think.


 
 

On All Cylinders
Bush does everything you want from a candidate in a debate.


 

Bush-Kerry III: Return of the King
The debate might have looked even on the surface, but one candidate got his clock cleaned. The scorecard tells all.


 

A Pretty Good Hand
With a strong performance in the third debate, President Bush is sitting on a good hand. Senator Kerry is grasping for an inside straight.


 
 

John Kerry: Germany's Candidate
The German defense minister says that maybe there's a possibility that they might, someday, perhaps, depending on future "developments," send troops to Iraq.


 

The Court Question
In the last debate, John Kerry sidestepped the question of his preference for Supreme Court justices. What will he say tonight?


 

Down on the Farm
The more John Kerry talks about farm policy, the less America's farmers like him.


 

It's Just That Simple
Despite what he said in last week's debate, John Kerry's record shows that he is for partial-birth abortion, and against parental notification.


 

Not Just a Game
Kuma Reality Games brings the war on terror (and even John Kerry) to your computer.


 
 

How Bad Is It?
Alan Greenspan now has to figure out whether the economy has hit a speedbump, or driven into a ditch.


 

Putting Words in the President's Mouth
Sixteen obvious points that George W. Bush should make during the Wednesday night debate.


 
 

Bush-Kerry II: This Time, It's Personal
People Just Like You ask President Bush and Senator Kerry questions and show up Gwen Ifill. A round-by-round scorecard.


 

The Two Faces of Liberalism
From the October 18, 2004 issue: Bush's foreign policy versus Kerry's.


 

When a Kiss Is Not Just a Kiss
From the October 18, 2004 issue: Reality TV comes to the Arab world.


 

Never
From the October 18, 2004 issue: Never have the American people elected as president a candidate with a record on national security issues resembling that of John Kerry.
