In yesterday’s Charlotte Observer the Ruling Class Elite did what they do best; smooch one another’s big, fat, backsides. The RCE is in ecstasy over landing the 2012 Democratic National Convention, which as you know, is the single greatest achievement in the history of mankind. Naturally the RCE at the CO used this as an […]

Maybe the U.S. Postal Service should change its unofficial motto to ‘neither snow, nor rain, nor pricey flights to Spain and loads of porn’ will prevent delivery of the mail. A recently released Postal Service Inspector General’s audit found that postal workers were using government-issued credit cards meant for travel and lodging expenses to buy […]
Mecklenburg County is on the hook for potentially having to shell out more than $25 million in so-called compensated absences – largely accrued vacation leave and sick time pay, stretching back to 2007 – due workers when they eventually leave county employment.
