Just a thought I had recently that I wanted to pass along to all like minded citizens who support efforts to strengthen Voter ID efforts in North Carolina. My name isn’t important, it’s the idea that matters, which is why this is an anonymous post. Let’s call this “Voting for Voter ID” for lack of […]
After skirting open meeting laws and lurking in seculsion at the airport to interview prospective candidates for the high-flying gig of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools superintendent, the Board of Education today announced three finalists to trot around town over the coming days in meetings and forums with the public and schools officials: Long-time CMS administrator Ann Clark, […]
That would be Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who blew into town last week for some photo opps, a fancy dinner, and some shameless vote-pandering to the Hispanic community, all while gushing about Charlotte’s “energy” and “dynamism.” Villaraigosa was all smiles and spin for the cameras here, but his absolutely abysmal performance of late out […]
… it deserves at least passing mention when a Bulldog named Bubba takes the Masters into a playoff and pulls an appropriately ludicrous shot out of his bag to win the coveted green jacket. Whether you love or loathe golf, Watson’s backstory and recent history make this one memorable and more than a little cool: […]
Just when many of us had hoped the Red Line had died, there appeared a way for rail advocates to bypass voter approval for this half billion dollar boondoggle. The projected benefits of this passenger rail line are so poor it failed to meet the minimal requirements for Federal funding. It is certainly hoped the […]
I wanted to go with an Easter theme for tonight’s House Party, but came to find out there just aren’t really all that many Easter songs…at least after taking away the kids songs and a few classical tunes. So, we wish you all a Happy Easter, and hope you enjoy the following songs welcoming in another baseball season! […]
“The Supreme Court can not strike down laws as unconstitutional!” So said President Obama this past Monday when asked about whether he thought the Supreme Court will overturn the Obama Health Care individual mandate. “Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law […]
I don’t understand why Vernon Robinson’s supports are not concerned about these facts and questionable actions of their candidate? Do they not know or do they think it doesn’t matter? If Vernon were to actually get the nomination, I’m sure that Larry Kissell and the Obama Machine would have no problems bring these points to […]
A 9th Congressional District candidate forum was held Monday night in Charlotte hosted by CAUTION (Common Americans United to Inspire Our Nation) featuring six of the 10 remaining Republican candidates running for the U.S. House seat soon to be vacated by retiring Rep. Sue Myrick. CAUTION President Dennis Peterson voiced his excitement for the event, […]
Or maybe that should be a soiled Red State, because this doesn’t deal specifically in the traditional, color-coded political sense that you’re probably thinking. This red has to do with ratings, as in from the American Petroleum Institute, which maps out the states with the highest combined local, state and federal gasoline taxes. Guess who […]
