Barack Obama just keeps on healing division.
Jim Martin, one of the Democratic candidates vying to face U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, said Wednesday he voted for John Edwards after his runoff opponent accused him of voting “against” Barack Obama.» Democratic candidates spar on presidential picks
There were so many Democrats running in the Senate primary on July 15 that no one candidate got a majority, so Martin and Jones are feuding fighting it out in a runoff August 5 to see who gets to lose big to Chambliss in November.
It sure is interesting that Barack Obama has so thoroughly united the Democratic Party that its members apparently didn’t have the right to vote for anyone but him during the primaries.
Is there anything he can’t do?
If you like that, you’ll love this:
Martin - who’s been bashing his opponent Vernon Jones for twice casting ballots for Republican George Bush...
Apparently Jones regards voting for Edwards in the primary as worse than voting—as a Democrat and elected officeholder—for George W. Bush.
To be fair, most elected Georgia Democrats voted for Bush in 2004, and declared publicly their intention to do so.
If Jones’ best response to Martin’s attacks is to accuse the latter of voting “against” Obama during a process where that’s what Democrats do, he may be in trouble.
But at least his humiliation will come in August instead of November.

He claims he supports Barack Obama, but with comments like this, I suspect a game is afoot.
Asked by Michael Dwyer, film correspondent of The Irish Times, if he was looking forward to “regime change” in the US, Redford said: “Yes. Where my country is at the moment, I’m not confident of anything. I’m hopeful.
“I think Obama is not tall on experience . . . but I believe he’s a really good person. He’s smart. And he does represent what the country needs most now, which is change.
“I hope he’ll win. I think he will. If he doesn’t, you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye. I think we need new voices, new blood. We need to get a whole group out, get a new group in.” »
Actor pins hopes on victory for Obama
Promises, promises. Alec Baldwin promised to leave the country for good if George W. Bush won re-election, but he’s still here. So I’m not counting on this one either.

Democrats in Congress want to nationalize oil refineries.
House Democrats responded to President’s Bush’s call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live.
Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.
[...]
“We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market.” [said Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY).] »
House Democrats call for nationalization of refineries
So they’re going to address skyrocketing oil prices by ... what, restricting the flow of oil? How is confiscating existing refineries going to bring prices down?
These are the people who took control of Congress after the 2006 elections. The people whose votes made that possible have no one to blame but themselves.

Ted Turner desperately needs an asylum.
Failure to address global warming will have us all dead or eating each other by mid-century.
So says Ted Turner, the restaurateur, environmentalist and former media mogul whose controversial comments have earned him the nickname “Mouth of the South.” »
Ted Turner: Global warming could lead to cannibalism
The South is said to be considering suing those responsible for giving Turner that nickname.
Turner called the Iraqi insurgents “patriots” who “don’t like us because we invaded their country and occupied it. Nobody likes to be invaded.”
Turner is from Savannah, but has invaded and currently occupies Atlanta (when he’s not occupying the buffalo ranch he invaded out west).

These damn animal-rights wackos are really getting on my nerves.
A local environmental group has vowed to stop construction of a new Coweta elementary school, claiming the work will destroy the habitat of a Bigfoot-like creature known as the Happy Valley Horror.
“The Board of Education of Coweta County is going to build a new elementary school on Jim Starr Road and forever change our quiet country life,” said Michael Bright, head of the newly-formed group Save The Happy Valley Horror (STHVH).
“My concern is that this area is known to be the home of the infamous and rare Happy Valley Horror,” Bright said. “The Horror has been seen by several residents recently and is the only one known to exist. If this habitat is disturbed it will surely mean the demise of a truly unique part of Coweta County’s history. Please help us stop this travesty by alerting concerned citizens before it’s too late.”
The Horror was first reported in 2005 when a resident mailed the Times-Herald anonymously to say he had seen what he described as “an enormous, very hairy” beast walking upright in a field on Happy Valley Circle. »
Happy Valley group concerned school will harm Bigfoot habitat
Any red-blooded Cowetan knows what to do about this, especially if there’s only one. I’ll bet some Bigfoot jerky would be real popular at the county fair…

How many California Democrats do you suppose wish they could have Jerry Brown back?
State Attorney General Jerry Brown waxed nostalgic about his former days as governor on Saturday...» Brown hints at second stint as governor
Well, I suppose if anybody waxes nostalgic for his days as governor it would be him.
...and strongly suggested that he might run again—just as soon as he is done suing President Bush over global warming.
In a speech to more than 1,000 activists at a state Democratic Party convention, Brown, 69, hyped his current legal battle to uphold California’s global warming fight and enforce tough auto emissions standards. “I’ve had to sue Bush about five times,” he said, because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency “is blocking the will of the people of California.”
He stirred speculation of another gubernatorial run when he closed his speech by saying: “I don’t do too much these days except sue people. But someday maybe I’ll get around to doing more than that and hopefully you’ll help.”
You know, them folks in California could have made term limits retroactive…
