Random Shots in the Dark (27)

What better way to start off this latest edition of random shots than by beginning with the South Carolina Senate race, where Democrats nominated that rising star, Alvin Greene. Here's Greene's latest interview with CNN's Don Lemon, who thinks there is "something wrong" with the candidate.


Note to Don Lemon: There is nothing wrong with the guy; he's just dumb as a box of rocks.

Speaking of which, our own "box of rocks" (Boxer, that is) is running for re-election against ex-Hewlitt-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina in California. I don't know if Fiorina is any good, but I know that Boxer's box of rocks is about as heavy as Mr Greene's. Of course, our Governor, who has an (empty) beer stein for a head, somehow managed to vote for both of them in the primary.

Now that failed attorney general, failed ex-governor of California and failed ex-mayor of Oakland, Jerry Brown is running for governor again, two of the major candidates for attorney general are worth noting. First there is Kamala (I'll never seek the death penaty") Harris, DA of sanctuary city San Francisco. Then there is LA City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, whose most notable accomplishment was having his wife crack up a government car while driving around on personal errands. The good news is he lost the primary. The bad news is he lost to Harris. So now the choice is between Harris and LA DA Steve Cooley. Who should you vote for? Well, that all depends on whether you want crooks in jail or on the streets. Take your choice.

Before we leave Kalifornia, LA Mayor Tony Villaraigosa has earned a shot this week by showing up at a "Don't text and drive" press conference to announce that he will be the official spokesperson for the "Don't text and drive" campaign. He pledged that no longer would he text and drive. When asked how much he drove to begin with, Villaraigosa answered, "Well, actually I don't drive at all."


Meanwhile in Nevada....



That's right. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That's Rory Reid on the left. He's the son of Harry Reid and running for governor of Nevada. Here is one of his pearls of political wisdom:

"This is a unique opportunity to unleash the innovative spirit of the people here and build a new approach to economic development toward a better future."



Just when you thought we were about to see the last of the Reid family.

Meanwhile, way down yonder off the coast of Louisiana.....

But there is good news; President Obama is going to address the nation Tuesday about the oil spill. I hear he's going to announce that the sea has risen, or gone down, or something like that.


See this picture? These are weapons seized in early June 2010 near the Arizona/Mexico border (apparently on the Mexican side).
