A Suffolk University poll out of Boston suggests that Hillary Clinton might not be as invincible as first thought. At least in New Hampshire. She leads fellow Democrat presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders by 10 percentage points, 41 to 31 percent. But it shows Sen. Sanders, the independent Socialist Democrat, leading Hillary among men, 35 to 32 percent, and in a dead heat for liberals, with each at 39 percent. The pollster tells NH1.comthat Sanders' numbers hardly are a home run but rather “a line shot to deep left field.” So to speak, we guess. ... Kudos to Matt Hough, director of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. He says that if the Legislature OKs the use of semi-automatic weapons for hunting, the commission would concur, albeit on a limited basis. The legislation would be a welcome excursion into the 20th century; Game Commission adoption would rocket the State of Independence into the 21st. ...Writing in The Washington Times, Drew Johnson says an EPA proposal to lower ground-level ozone standards could threaten everything from backyard cookouts to Independence Day fireworks displays. Should such nonsense come to pass, we humbly suggest a revolt — led by thousands of hot weenies fired from a citizens' army of small cannon powered by inch-and-a-halfers loaded into the breech.
