Happy Thanksgiving!
From our House to yours, all the best for a blessed, safe and joyous Thanksgiving. Amid all the stuffing, feasting, shopping and parading, remember what we have that deserves true and lasting thanks: family, friends, fellowship and faith. Gratitude that spans time, from George Washington’s First Thanksgiving Proclamation: Whereas it is the duty of all […]
MeckCo Tax Assessor Resigns As Reval Revolt Rages
Mecklenburg commissioners this week started down what promises to be a long, painful and pricey, but wholly necessary road to fixing the fatally flawed 2011 property revaluation and its accompanying fleecing of taxpayers. And while a growing number of elected officials are calling for a complete redo of the revaluation, accompanied by refunds to any […]
Housing Horrors
Alternate Headline: “Housing Whores,” which actually might be both more appropriate and accurate. After years of recklessly backstopping toxic loans with little to no regard for fiscal implications, losses are swamping revenues over at the Federal Housing Administration. A new study released last week shows the FHA some $16 billion under water. So naturally, bailout. This […]
Guns, Drones, Pigeons, And Outright Stupidity

This from CNSNews: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Friday that Congress should stop placing legal limits on the amount of money the government can borrow and effectively lift the debt limit to infinity. On Bloomberg TV, “Political Capital” host Al Hunt asked Geithner if he believes “we […]
Where’s The Hostess Twinkie Bailout?
Hostess, the baker maker of such great American iconic foods as Twinkies, Cupcakes and Ding-Dongs, as well as the relatively more healthy Wonder breads, has decided to close up shop after a prolonged strike by its workers eventually exhausted the company’s remaining resources. Here’s the question of the day: When will the federal government and the […]
Chic-fil-A Sandwiches And The Fiscal Cliff
What is a Fiscal Cliff? It is a term used by those who would scare the people, to convince them something dire is about to happen. Unless, of course, Congress and the President do what they should to avert it. Where is the news? The news will be if Congress and the President, a President […]
