The news was partly the news this week.

Two posts about the Dome blog and the News & Observer itself made the most-read list this week.

1. Swift Vote: A Texas home builder who bankrolled "Swift Boating" in 2004 is paying for ads attacking Beverly Perdue. Coming soon: Ads attacking her Vietnam service?

2. Complaint Department: Dome readers air their grievances about bias on the blog. Some say we're too conservative, others want to swear more.

3. Face Off: Gubernatorial candidates Perdue and Pat McCrory face off for the third of three debates. Mike Munger buys some chiles for his punk sauce.

4. Clarion Call: New York-based Clarion Fund to distribute DVD about "radical Islamic threat" to N&O subscribers. Don't worry — there's no late fee.

5. O Brother, Obama: Bluegrass singer Ralph Stanley endorses Democrat Barack Obama. Surprisingly no footage from his turn as a Klansman will be used in campaign ads.

Makes a danged difference there RTB!
(But I couldn't help thinking of Byrd, not to mention other early adherents to the party)

The phrase "lipstick on a pig" comes to mind.

To be clear, Ralph Stanley played a Klansman in "O Brother, Where Art Thou." (He was the one singing "O Death" as he lifted the hood up.)

Hey! That was ME wanting to swear more, wasn't it?

Lookit, we Democrats aren't going to get sore about the fact that someone was ONCE a Klansman. What we stand for today says CHANGE is possible.

It's the current Klansmen, or the close-enough current version (Bob Barr) we'd take issue with.

And ya ain't got no bidness giggling about this DVD distribution, RTB. It's shameful and ya know it.
