You should lay off TV reporters. After all, they've yet to run with the story about your (alleged) indiscretions with goats.

Speaking of which, when can we expect Under the Dome to report on Britney's split with long-time guru Sam Lufti? It's being reported in the Enquirer, after all!

Notable Absences...

Kay Hagan, Bev Perdue, and Walter Dalton must all know something that the rest of don't. Appears they don't want their picture taken with one Barack H. Obama, candidate: President, party: Democrat.

Wonder what African-american voters in our state think about that?

Um...could it be just because the rally was in Wilson? I mean, c'mon, let's not overthink this too much people.

He was born there...do you have any researchers at the N&O? I'm sure he was supporting his hometown and showing pride that a presidential campaign stopped by his old haunts. Wonder if Sen. Obama has tried any of the barbecue...

Congratulations on the proper usage of "attorneys general". There's a man that knows his copy.

How can anyone remain undecided when it comes to B Obama?
With his recent speech and comments on news clips he is digging a
deeper and deeper hole for himself of which will be imposible to extradite himself from.
He say's he loves his grandmother but then turns around and throws her under the bus, saying all "white people" think the same, which really is aggrivating a lot more people.
Reminds me when GW Bush said he was "The Uniter" barak says the same but
then turns around and does just the opposite.
this is one person who should stop talking about the Race problem and shut up, as he's only making matters worse.

WHY? because there are MANY CORRUPT DEMOCRAT mouths to be fed from such
'employment'...its how they operate to keep the kettle poisoned. Its time for some drastic measures in NC, and to those who control things.

Finally, the quiet chorale has decided to at least have words! Why in the world woud they even consider censure. But, like 'Wrong' said ". . .Let the party begin." He must have plenty of dirt on them too! But regardless of even this, as a proud North Carolinian, what angers me is 'Wrong' has not shown any remorse! He is acting as if he has not done anything! Oh yeah, I wonder how that audit at NCCU is going?. . .
(I'll bet Joyner knows! . . .)

Maybe these legislators can enlighten us about a lobby team that keeps turning over. Ken Melton (three months) and Dan Crawford (a year) bolted from ElectriCities lobby team last week very suddenly after a very short time. Six of eight people have left government relations there in the past five years. Pretty dramatic turnover signaling some problem?? Of course, I want to know why it take 10 contract lobbyists at a cost of more than $500,000 to lobby in addtion to the staff lobbyists.

I wonder if we'll get results of the audit after the meeting too? RTB - how long have we been waiting on that?

Difficult to believe that anyone would want Thomas Wright to represent our Great State in any capacity. As the old saying goes "BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER."

There are a ton of tests out there on the interTubes, including this interesting one.

Anyone surprised that Gerry got 95%? The million dollar question is which ones did he miss? care to share?
