On Halloween night, Obama supporters young and old donned masks of the popular candidates face imploring residents of Wilmington to take advantage of the last day of early voting before the November 4 general election.
I somehow found my way onto New Hanover County’s Republican Party website today, and once there (www.nhcgop.org), I immediately noticed some text (brightly painted in red and yellow) on the left border of the page that reads:
“See suspicious activity at the voting station? Call (919) 828-6423 ext. 146″
Does a such a question/prompt presuppose that democrats [...]
I have more or less sat on the sideline of the public debate about Titan Cement since its inception – mostly because it has taken me awhile to gather my thoughts but also sadly because I wanted to avoid offending a noble cause with unsolicited commentary. It was a recent post about the question [...]
I did not see this interview personally but I am appalled at her suggestion that Russia is a target of the American war machine. Unbelievable!

A woman who saw our Trader Joe’s bag said she’s received an email petition about letting Trader Joe’s know that we do in fact want them here.

One of the things the Star News piece this morning on the Pew Center’s recently published U.S. Religious Landscape survey didn’t mention was this surprising fact about how many Americans are meditating:

Although I can still recite the many lines from Julius Cesar I learned in high school, I am by no means an authority on Shakespeare. In Shakespeare: The World As Stage, author Bill Bryson reminds us rather poignantly through historical analysis that there are few authorities on this historical figure and much conjecture.
Local musicians have a new hope coming their way in the next few months as far as regional recognition. WHQR 91.3 FM–whose signal reaches all the way north to Jacksonville, west to I-95, and south to N. Myrtle Beach–will soon begin recording for a new forum at which local musicians will be performing live, Soup [...]
That kills me…. WHQR reports that the anti-tax (and anti-annexation) group “Americans for Prosperity” is staging a protest against Senator Julia Boseman at the NHC county offices…because she didn’t pay her taxes. All the sudden they’re soooooo pious about civic duties.
As I understand them, the AFP are zealously — incoherently! — anti-tax. Maybe something else [...]
One of my favorite podcasts, an NPR show called the Bryant Park Project for the Manhattan park its “worldwide headquarters” overlook, just discussed a study from Northwestern University’s Department of Social Psychology, which found white people so nervous about being or seeming racist that “they indicated a preference for avoiding all contact with black people.” [...]
