Robert Redford Campaigns for McCain

If what he’s saying is true, it’ll give a lot of people a really good reason to vote for McCain. I mean, it’s kind of a twofer.

IF BARACK Obama doesn’t win November’s presidential election in the United States, “you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye”, the actor and director Robert Redford told an audience in Dublin last night.

Speaking of McCain, I don’t think I imagined just how bad his old cell at the Hanoi Hilton was.

Progress?

Genn Reynolds points out that this is progress:

THE World Health Organisation and the European Union have allowed Uganda to spray the DDT chemical, the water and environment minister has said.

Yes, if this is a sign that DDT is coming off the banned lists and, therefore, millions of lives can finally be saved, that’s progress.

But what’s this “allowed” business? Is Uganda a colony or possesion of the WHO or the EU? Why do they get a say? I thought it used to be a British colony.
