NC Voter ID-And All Our Pretty Words
Someone told me the other day I should post more often on my blog. My response is basically, if someone else is saying it, then I don’t have to. Usually, I just post about trends I see that, for one reason or another, don’t seem to be getting that much press. So, let’s take a…

To Gov Pat McCrory: Responsibility Is A Two Way Street.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory signed House Bill 4 limiting North Carolina unemployment insurance to twenty weeks and capping the maximum benefit to $350 dollars a week in the name of responsible government.

Let’s call it what it is: The GOP and those that voted the Republicans in office think that too many people are sitting around collecting unemployment checks and just don’t want to get a job.

Republicans v. Democrats: How Gun Control Is Different.
Rarely in Washington does an issue come to light that does not have a predetermined political outcome. The fiscal cliff (or non-fiscal cliff as I called it) was decided by both Democrats and Republicans long before December 31st.
