		<description><![CDATA[With solid majorities on the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners and the Charlotte City Council, local Democrats should be living high on the hog. They find themselves, instead, floundering in a political pigpen of self-churned mud. After nearly a year of fruitless endeavor and intra-party squabbling, the Democrat-led city council is stuck without a capital [...]]]></description>

In February, the County Parks and Recreation department submitted a proposal to the Board that would place restrictions on the ability of [...]]]></description>

That, along with a certain amount of beating one&#8217;s head against the wall wondering where in the world all the people with any common sense at all have hidden themselves.
