This is why the Tea Party will have legs. Despite the alleged Republican resurgence in Congress, there’s already emerging evidence backing the old cliché that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Here we have so-called conservatives throwing their weight and support not only behind insanely expensive and ultimately ineffective high-speed rail […]
So, did everyone see who the Mecklenburg GOP is bringing into town as the keynote speaker for their Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner? None other than the divisive neo-conservative Karl Rove. While I am impressed that the local party was able to bring in someone with a name, I am very disappointed with the choice of someone […]
Maybe, or maybe Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, is talking out of both sides of her mouth. From one side, McCaskill is proclaiming bitter disappointment that Charlotte topped St. Louis in the bid to land the 2012 DNC. From the other side, McCaskill is reportedly not only breathing a sigh of relief, but was […]
After a week’s worth of squabbling about whether to vote on earmarking a $10 million special grant to help save the Bright Beginnings pre-kindergarten program, Mecklenburg commissioners on Tuesday night stepped up to the plate and resolutely deferred a decision until April. The move leaves the fate of Bright Beginnings in tenuous limbo, with the […]
It’s not clear from this report exactly what prompted Charlotte-Mecklenburg police to launch new “enhanced security measures” for local elected officials, other than some vague reference to recent shootings in Arizona and Florida. How some crazed lunatic opening fire in Arizona and claiming the lives of six people and injuring 13, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle […]
The Ruling Class Elite strikes again. What with the NAACP screaming that Charlotte is a “racist bastion” our masters just had to do something, so they’ve decided to take $55 million and lavish it on some black children unfortunate enough to be stuck in our pathetic public school system. Can’t have the rest of the country […]
No shocker here, and officials continue to insist it won’t cost taxpayers a boatload of cash or bring local merchants a ton of headache. We shall see, when any and all paperwork, memorandums of understanding, and agreements between the city and the DNC settle, bringing any possible side deals, subsidies or outright payments from the […]
The good news is that cutting the budget is easier than everyone says. The bad news is that they’re wrong about everything else too. Conservatives seem to be all over the map about the foremost issue of our day (of our lifetime really) what to do about the Federal monstrosity. And we know where the […]
If necessity is truly the mother of invention, in some cases stupidity has to rank at least a distant cousin. Case in point: catapulting drug-smugglers on the Arizona-Mexican border. This from FoxNews: National Guard troops operating a remote video surveillance system at the Naco Border Patrol Station say they observed several people preparing a catapult […]
Former presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich apparently has more terrestrial menaces jeopardizing his health and safety than the off chance of being abducted by aliens: namely, the deadly olive pit. Specifically, the one that launched a surprise attack on Kucinich and prompted him, naturally, to file a lawsuit. This from the Cleveland Plain Dealer: Rep. Dennis […]
