It is official. 51 Senators spoke for 295,675,259 USians and decided that we didn’t want places devoid of development by voting to defeat an amendment to stop the drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge that was attached to the US Budget. I guess the $80,000,000 spent on bribes to the various campaigns in the past six years from the gas and oil industry finally worked.

Toyota of Durham ads are annoying
Does anybody else hate seeing the Toyota of Durham ads on TV every 5 min? He has been having a final, final, sale for years now. For perpetrating such an annoyance, I will never consider buying a car from that dealership.

ACC Hall of Champion’s Fund Bill — more Pork
I heard on the news that a bill to appropriate $20,000,000 to build an ACC Hall of Champion’s memorial in Greensboro. It comes as no surprise that the three co-sponsors are all from Greensboro. With a huge budget deficit in North Carolina, I think this seems wasteful and is probably just a publicity stunt, as I cannot imagine that anybody else would seriously consider this.
I just heard an ACC “champion” try to assemble complete sentences — maybe we need to spend more on education in NC?
