There were a lot of whoppers in President Obama’s campaign SOTU speech but one in particular jumped out, if for no other reason than the dizzying heights of its hypocrisy. Obama, recall, asked for legislation to ensure that people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress couldn’t lobby Congress, and vice versa, which sounds great in […]
Gov. Beverly Perdue will not seek reelection, according to news reports, with a formal announcement scheduled for this afternoon. Facing sagging poll numbers, anticipated tough opposition from Republican Pat McCrory, and general angst within her own party, this hardly comes as a giant surprise.

Fresh off getting smacked around by Gamecock voters, Romney rolls out the dark side in the Sunshine State. This from Politico: “Speaker Gingrich has also been a leader,” the former Massachusetts governor said. “He was a leader for four years as speaker of the House. And at the end of four years, it was proven […]
Kudos to everyone who took the time and effort to contact Congress in opposition to this misguided jumble of legislation. This from the Washington Post: Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), author of the Stop Online Piracy Act, said on Friday that he is postponing consideration of the bill in response to concerns from critics who said […]
