No DNC attacks, are there?

The Left isn’t attacking President Bush, are they? From hipsters to professionals to aging hippies, the audience was as diverse as the talent on stage. Attendees paid $25 to $500 to watch performances by rocker Perry Farrell, techno-musician Moby, singer Natalie Merchant and hip-hop collective The Roots.

NC Lottery again?

So NC Gov Mike Easley is back on the lottery bandwagon? Of course, the money is all for Education, right? Well, I remember working at a liquor store in New Jersey in the summers, and we sold lottery tickets. I read a document on where the money went. We had been told that it was […]

Unfit For Command

Barnes and Nobles is taking a beating over being out of stock of Unfit for Command. To put it into perspective, the first run was only 550,000 copies. That has to be spread out to alot of stores, as well as the Internet sites. I ended up ordering mine from Amazon, after checking a Waldenbooks, […]

Kerry’s rilliant move

Now Bob Dole is involved in taking Kerry to task. True war hero Bob Dole. The one who’s arm was disabled during WWII, due to enemy action. A quick Yahoo News search of “Bob Dole” brought back 933 hits. While I am sure not all of them are about news sources printing the same story, […]

Double voting
