The GOP has relapsed into a potentially fatal business-as-usual complacency. The recommendations contained in its high profile but anodyne “autopsy” represent, at best, a band-aid for a Party hemorrhaging from a much more fundamental wound: being out of touch with the needs, values, and dignity of the American people. The GOP high command today resembles […]
In what appeared to be a well-planned and efficiently executed sacking, the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday night voted to terminate County Manager Harry Jones without cause. After emerging from an hours-long closed session, it took the board only minutes to accomplish what Jones’s myriad of critics have been advocating for years. The […]

Although the hyperbole, the propaganda, and the exaggerations have been out in force […]
Democrats who hope, and Republicans who dread, the appointment of Mel Watt as a sign the Administration has suddenly decided to aid the victims of foreclosure fraud are both kidding themselves. The criminality of the banks with wealth to steal, the apathy of the captured regulators with private sector careers to protect, the avarice of […]
The Governor of North Carolina, Pat McCrory, announced another ‘mistake’ in the Medicaid projections made by the Administration of former Governor Bev Perdue last fall before the elections. Wonder if these underestimations were deliberate in the hopes of helping the Democrat candidate in the gubernatorial race? Nah, that never happens. Right? ‘Nothing to see here, ladies and […]
Back in early March, H267 – NCGA Prior Approval/Interstate Tolling – was submitted and promptly sent to the House Transportation Committee.
