Cullowhee (NC) citizen has a letter in the New York Times

To the Editor:

Sept. 19 was a dark day in the Senate. The fact that Senator Jim Webb’s proposal to increase home leave for troops was defeated leaves me wondering if anything positive can happen again in the Senate.

I feel compelled to apologize for Senators Richard Burr and Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina as they blindly support President Bush. As a resident of the state, I am deeply embarrassed and in despair by what seems to me to be voting records that do not reflect any independent thought.

This was truly a disappointing day.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
