Criminals

(This is usually Anglico's territory, so I apologize in advance if I step on any toes.)

In today's issue of the Pilot, our hometown newspaper, The Hood has an opinion piece titled, "N.C. Democrats Win Broad, Not Deep, Victory". I can just imagine him writing this surrounded by used tissues tossed willy nilly waiting for someone to clean up after him.

He starts in his usual biased manner saying that the voter will get what they deserve by voting in Democrats. He continues with what at first looks like sugar, but ends up tasting like vinegar.

Democrats won an impressively broad victory in state races this year. They outmaneuvered, outraised, outrecruited, and outorganized state Republicans in virtually every competitive district, and indeed in some GOP-leaning districts available in this uniquely Democratic year. Their broad victory, however, was not a deep victory. It was not an earth-shattering, ideological transformation of the political landscape.

Had an email from our county Dem chair and he sent me this article from PeoplePC:

WASHINGTON - Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, whose party lost both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, will step down from his post when his two-year term ends in January, GOP officials said Thursday.

Wonder if anyone saw Larry King the other night? Bill Maher was on there talking about the hypocritical Republicans and their agenda of hate and fear. He said he didn't understand why they were so against gays when there are so many in their "club", particularly in high places. Well King wanted names and Maher said "Melhman"....I was stunned, Larry King was stunned, probably a lot of Republicans were stunned too. Now I'm wondering about Rove!
