Bubba's Bogus Diplomacy

by Reihan Salam

After almost a decade spent skulking around with billionaires, celebrities, and other less-than-savory characters, Bill Clinton has returned to the world of high-stakes diplomacy. Once again, his animal magnetism has been placed in service to America's national interests. During a surprise visit to North Korea, the former president successfully negotiated the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, two American journalists who've been held captive since March. And though the White House insists that Clinton is acting on his own, it is blindingly obvious that the trip was cleared at the highest levels. As the husband of America's secretary of State, Clinton has credibility that, say, Laura Bush does not. But one has to wonder if Carter-like diplomatic troubleshooting is the best use of Bill Clinton's distinctive talents. (read the rest of the story)

BARRIE MAGUIRE: HIS PERSONAL FAVORITES

"What fun to be able to inject my own two
cents into the debate. To use the news
for inspiration, the excitement of
'the idea!' ...and when the drawing is
finished, to see it published where
thousands of others will see it too."
Barrie Maguire

JIM MEEHAN: HIS PERSONAL FAVORITES

As anybody who has been to art school
knows, illustration is the bastard child of the
art world. I think that's ironic because I think
to be a great illustrator is to be able to take
something which is not your own and
somehow make it your own, make it look
good, add to the piece, and do it on a deadline.
That's as difficult as it sounds; I don't think
I've ever quite done it myself.
