Moving forward in Scotland

Commentary by Jeff Burgar for South Peace News

On a trip to Scotland a few years back, I found people friendly and weather fantastic.

Scotland is a land of socialism. Rampant and wild socialism. Few people work. They don't have to. Every level of government provides. Money for groceries. Almost free houses. Free medical. Cheap booze.

The best life is lived by local producers. With government support, farmers make darn good livings pretending to work 20 acres, and still be first in line at the local pub when afternoon draws to an end.

It's not quite paradise. Most days the weather is more Newfoundlandish but wetter, foggier and colder.

Worse, food is horrible. Scottish cuisine simply doesn't exist. There might be truth that Angus cattle, which originated in Scotland, produce a superior beef product. Maybe. Chains like Harvey's and McDonald's promote their Angus hamburgers. Many North American joints brag up their Angus steaks.

The truth is, this meat is all from herds in Canada or the States. Try to find a quality beef product in Scotland.

Better yet, try to find a quality cooked protein product such as pork, lamb, chicken, fish or beef. Darn near impossible.

Fish and chips? Horrible, horrible, horrible!

McCain gets ready for race of his life

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has begun to have serious conversations with state officials and local powerbrokers about running for a sixth term in the Senate.

The longtime Republican senator is expected to face a tougher challenger and would be a major target for Tea Party groups given his support for a Senate immigration bill granting a path to citizenship for undocumented workers.

But more recently, McCain has given every indication that he wants to stay in the upper chamber, even after three decades as a senator.

Im leaning toward it, McCain told The Hill when asked about running for re-election.

Im doing all the things necessary to do so, McCain says of a reelection bid. A good fundraising quarter. A lot of meetings and talking to a lot of people in the state, the usual preparations in the state.

The 2008 GOP presidential candidate met Fridayin Phoenix with key supporters to plan his re-election race, a McCain aide said.

And McCain says whether Republicans win a Senate majority in November wont particularly make a difference in his decision.

McCain faced a primary challenger in 2010, just two years after Barack Obama defeated him for the White House.

He easily fought off former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, defeating him by 25 points after pouring $25 million into the face.

But Hayworth was seen by many as a weak candidate, and McCain could face a much tougher challenger in 2018.
