What The Huck?

Glenn Beck tags Mike Huckabee as a progressive: “He’s the guy. He will play along with the party politics. He will get along to get along. He will move things along. He does not want to disrupt giant government, I don’t think he for this kind of giant government . . . He’s perfect for […]

Polls: McCrory Leads Perdue In Rematch

About 1,000 North Carolinians who are registered to vote (although might never actually do so) say they’d prefer former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory to be Governor, rather than the current occupant of the office – Bev Perdue.

CMS Up For Lease

Well, at least parts of it. The Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners last night relinquished its right of first refusal to either purchase or lease nearly a dozen institutes of lower learning recently shuttered by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, clearing the way to put the properties up for lease on the open market.

Rolling With CMPD

Let me get this straight: a heavily redacted report issued by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department identifies a dearth of security staffing at CLT-Douglas airport as a contributing cause in the stow-away death of Delvonte Tisdale, but federal and state funding of nearly a half-million dollars is being used to buy Segways, Harleys, BMWs, and dirt bikes […]

Kitty Litter

The only commodity that might be worth less than the US dollar by year’s end is a Panthers PSL, given the team’s brutal schedule for the upcoming season. The potential for true ugliness starts with a home-opener against Green Bay, followed by a stretch versus a string of playoff teams from last year (Chicago, New […]

The Rise Of Left-Wing Capitalism

The ongoing deficit battle, which many had feared would shut down the US Government, has seemingly been averted, but only for now. We can probably expect these “shutdown scenarios” to be played out several more times at least in the upcoming weeks, if not months, as both the hypocrisy and the disingenuity of those who […]
