There’s plenty of hot news lately.
Iran’s close to building a bomb.
ACORN operatives got caught on film trying to figure out how to bring young girls from Honduras to Baltimore for what sounded a lot like a prostitution ring.
And the Republican National Committees are going all out to elect a Republican who’s for gay marriage to Congress in a Special Election in New York. (If you think that makes sense consider this – the district’s not in Greenwich Village it’s in the Adirondack Mountains and there are 60,000 more Republicans in it than Democrats.)
Closer to home Secretary of State Elaine Marshall’s taking on Senator Richard Burr. Generally, things are looking up for Burr (except he’s got poll numbers worse than Elizabeth Dole’s). Burr’s lucky enough to be running in what’s beginning to look like a fine year for Republicans; after voting for the bailouts he may cruise to victory because folks are mad at Democrats.
But don’t underestimate Elaine Marshall: She lost in the Senate primary in 2002 – but her only problem was she didn’t have money and the Democrats will take care of that when they give Burr the Liddy Dole treatment.
Beyond that, the nutty President of Iran may be about to make us forget about health care and the economy. Wednesday the United States envoy to the UN’s Atomic Energy Agency announced Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ‘is close to having the capability to produce a nuclear weapon.’ If he doesn’t fess-up and stop the UN’s going to whoop him with double, triple, super-sanctions. On top of the three sets of sanctions Ahmadinejad’s ignored.
Finally, Governor Perdue’s popularity is still at rock bottom. But she’s got a solution: She’s taking an $80,000 junket to China .
