Raleigh broke the high set in 1999 of 101 (why wasn’t Slick doing something about global warming back then!) with 102 today. And that is without the heat index, folks. Heck, it was a dry heat for awhile. When I went to lunch, it was hot, with a hot wind, but low humidity, but, half […]

A little too little, a little to late. Nifong made this statement today "I sincerely apologize to Mr. (Reade) Seligmann, Mr. (Collin) Finnerty, Mr. (David) Evans and to their families," Nifong said.

Though Jones is not in my district, he is from North Carolina, and represents, believe it or not, quite a few of the areas of NC that have military bases, such as Camp Lejune. He has been voting with the Democrats in calling for a retreat from Iraq. I have ragged on him plenty of times, and […]

Todays Duke "the rape never happened" lacrosse case Durham — Duke University officials announced Monday that the school has reached a settlement with three former lacrosse players who were wrongfully accused of sexual assault.

I’m flabbergasted RALEIGH, N.C. — Mike Nifong violated 27 of 32 rules of professional conduct during his prosecution of three Duke University lacrosse players falsely accused of rape, a disciplinary committee ruled Saturday. The committee, after deliberating for a little more than an hour, unanimously agreed with the bar on almost every charge, including the […]

From the Raleigh N&O letters to the editor In response to your June 12 editorial, "Stagnation," I wholeheartedly disagree that passing the Senate’s cart-before-the-horse immigration legislation is better than enacting no reform at all.
