Stop the presses! Stephanie Bolden wants EVERYONE to know that she would have voted for HB 2 had she shown up for session on Thursday, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to besmirch her pristine reputation. Which begs the question–will she vote to override Carney’s veto of the bill? Will she show up? BTW, […]

Flooding Ravages Merle Haggard’s California. Much of the rest of Cali as well. Haggard was born and raised in Oilville, which is in Tulare County. Both Tulare and Kern Counties were hit especially hard by the floods. Time for a musical interlude, both songs written by Merle: From ‘Cactus Artist’ To Fox Election Fraud ‘Source’. […]
Memo To The Following: Return The BobbyByrd/Norfolk Southern Blood Money
I’m occasionally a reasonable person. I will assume that Bobby Byrd delivered these checks along with all the other checks he bundled from his clients, and that you didn’t discern the difference. Until proven otherwise. Besides, you received these checks before the recent spate of derailments. So, no harm/no foul. Unless you don’t return the […]

Rep. Connolly Exposes The Jim Jordan Klown Show. Just skip down and watch the video of Connolly’s destruction of two so-called ‘independent journalists’. You’re welcome.

Hate to be THAT guy, but I told you that yesterday’s pot legalization bill vote was a freebie. Far too many Pete acolytes voted for the bill. There’s hope only if you don’t think that Lumpy Carson, Bill Bush, Stephanie Bolden, Mike Ramone, Michael Smith, Sean Matthews, and/or others will revert to form and bow […]

Medicaid Expansion Comes To–North Carolina! Heretofore only one of 11 states to not embrace the Affordable Care Act.
