I’ve discussed Larry Donell Green a bit. He is the man who was pronounced dead, and then someone realized at the morgue that he, well, wasn’t. A bit of an update. He is slowly making a recovery, however: "He can’t talk. He can’t walk. He can only signify by blinking his eyes. Sometimes, he may […]

Yes, I know, it is mostly Blogless Sunday. And, I had a great billboard picture I took that I was going to put up, will have to wait for tommorrow morning. This one has been bugging me, regarding the NC Bill to allow the children of illegal immigrants to not only be allowed to go […]

What a shame, some of NC’s Congress Critters as well as illegal "immigrant" groups have received mail with harsh language. While I do not condone this, they have in fact brought it on themselves. "I’ve gotten some very ugly language, some racial slurs, bigoted e-mail — which are very disappointing," Barnhart said. "I can honestly […]

I am flabbergasted. Totaly and completely flabbergasted. With North Carolina’s Hispanic population booming – and Hispanic children dropping out of school at alarming rates – lawmakers introduced a bill Tuesday that would extend resident tuition rates at public universities to the children of illegal immigrants. Former Gov. Jim Hunt returned to the General Assembly to […]

One of the truly spectacular places to visit in North Carolina is the Outer Banks. There are many fabulous sites to see, and things to do. And just as spactacular are the wild horses that live on the Outer Banks. Yes, real wild horses. For over 400 years these horses, descendents of Arabian horses, have […]

And, as predicted, the money is going towards education. However, not quite how one thinks: House Bill 1023 approved by the full House would divvy up the funds from a lottery into three areas: 50 percent would go to school construction, 25 percent would go to college scholarships and 25 percent would go to special […]

According to local authorities, the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) has seen and influx of the Mara Salvatrucha, otherwise know as MS-13. This is the gang that Newsweek called "the most dangerous gang in America." From WRAL: Three dozen confirmed MS-13 members have been arrested in North Carolina and will be deported. Almost all […]

Will Mike E. get his boondoggle lottery this time? From the way things are going, I would have to give the odds at 2-1 that it passes this time. People are coming out for and against it. Ogre says: Enter Jim Black (D). He really, really, really wants a lottery because he is the primary […]

Hmm, this seems to be good news: Fewer Hispanics applied for and received driver’s licenses last year – an average 25 percent less each month – after new restrictions imposed following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In February 2004, the state Division of Motor Vehicles stopped accepting foreign passports without a U.S. immigration stamp, […]

There is a bill in the NC Legislature to toughen seat belt laws, forcing all passengers to wear one, raising the fines for non-compliance from $25 to $50, and giving the driver 1 point. Barry Bonds says it’s the media’s fault. I wonder what he would say about school buses not having seat belts? NC […]
