OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod That primary in New Ham pshire is over, but the “ex perts” will be sifting through the ashes for a long time, try ing to find a new “message” from it, and trying harder to make a buck out of it. We’re so top heavy with ex perts and analysts nowa days, a fellow can’t do any thing without someone read ing something else into it. This may be a good develop ment in our politics, but right now it’s tiring and boring. It did look right natural to see Dick Nixon bringing up the rear, but it shows the New Englanders have little gallantry left. If a woman runs for president in Georgia we’d be sure to give her enough votes to make it look good. If we ever have a pre sidential primary in Georgia, that is, to take first things first. ru- in the meantime back at the Donkey ranch, talk keeps going around about a feud be tween President Johnson and Attorney General Kennedy. This may or may not be true, but it makes for interesting speculation. It makes it harder to see how a president would be so determined to give an attor ney general more powers, like in that Civil Rights bill they are working on now. The defense for Jack Ruby keeps trying to prove Ruby was insane when he shot and killed Lee Oswald. It shouldn’t take a lot of testimony to prove a man who committed murder like Ruby did—in front of a cloud; of witnesses isn’t the world’s most normal lad. At the same time, after you prove he was out of his head when he pulled the trigger, you still haven’t changed the thing he did. No wonder jus tice must be blind. She’d get sick sometimes, I imagine. —o— where Senator Wes,ber ry keeps making himself into the kind of animal he was given during the recent ses sion. Just this week he opin ed that many Georgia coun ties do not deserve to be coun ties, and they certainly don’t deserve to be represented in the legislature, he says. I think he’s right. We don’t deserve to be represented in a legislature that accepts a screwball like Wesberry. Wesberry is the best argue ment for a return to the coun ty unit system I’ve seen late ly. ■Seminole County has made another step toward the big time, with the hanging of a portrait of a native in the hallowed balls of the Univer sity of Georgia in Athens. I refer to the picture of Phil Spooner placed there recently, to which I must say, congrat ulations, Phil, Flo and family. The sheriff’s race is one of the most difficult for the vot er to handle. Unless you’re darned sure who’s going to win, you have to be cagey a bout any remarks you make You just can’t tell which candidate will end up wearing the badge, with the power to arrest you and things like that. .
