Uh Oh! I'm going to have to deal harshly with the King of Mud Sling, Karl Rove himself.

You see, these simple little discussions that Rove and Cheney and Bush and (enter your favorite Neo-Con here) are holding, while on their "Bush Legacy Tour: He Was Really Good At Keeping America Safe" really need to be refuted. Immediately. Harshly.

So, BushCo kept the USA safe? Well, except for that 9/11 thingy. Oh and that anthrax thingy. Oh, the disruption of cash flow into the average American citizens bank account. Um, there was also that spying on Americans thing. With a topping of torturing people.

I could go on, but you get the picture, right? RIGHT?

Right!

It is growing to be many people's homes. Our North Carolina, with its sirens call of mountains, rich farmland, coastal brilliance, beach bum laid back days and Charlotte Uptown nightlife; NC is now the recepient of more new occupants of any state east of the Mississipi.

Sure. We who live here know why. Obviously, we are NOT keeping it a secret. ;-)

From the Atlanta Constitution-Journal

North Carolina has edged ahead of Georgia as the growth leader east of the Mississippi, according to figures released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

“For the past two years, and especially the past year, North Carolina has grown faster,” said Greg Harper, a demographer with the Census Bureau.

There is a possibility that the services agreed upon today by Medfusion and the North Carolina Medical Society could be quite an upgrade to what we are all used to currently when making medical appointments, accessing our medical records, checking on medical tests, etc.

Then again, a slight paranoia creeps in when I think about all of this information kept in a database somewhere that could possibly be hacked, or at least the information could be secreted out to entities that I might prefer did not have access to my personal information.

For the love of all that is holy, Mr. Bush!

What the hell is it with your run-away ego and your inability to understand that the people of this country, HELL, the people of this world, do not care about what you feel to be YOUR personal crises’ that you’ve faced while in office.

You do realize that the entire population of your country is currently mired in a devastating recession of your making?

I know this has been covered, but I wanted to run it up the flag pole one more time....

I am absolutely disgusted and tired of being called an America hater because my politics don't lean in the direction of the mud dwelling neanderthal Republican ideal of a Constitution-less and lock-step walking America! God dammit, I am a real American, Robin Hayes, and so are the people here at Blue NC!

Early voting in North Carolina has begun! From the reports on the ground it looks as though the turn out is pretty high for the first day of early voting here in The Old North State. What is on the voters minds, you wonder? Religion, guns, winning in Iraq, or the old standby of a womans right to choose? Not this year, my friends.

It's the Economy, stupid...

From WSOCTV:

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Hundreds of voters stood in to cast ballots Thursday as the first day of early voting began in North Carolina, a move designed to ease the expected Election Day strain on polling places.

The line wrapped around the Guilford County Courthouse in downtown Greensboro.

If U.S. had acted sooner, the FDIC's chief says, it would have made a difference for Wachovia.

The invocation at the Sarah Palin rally in Greenville this evening called on God to close the mouths of Democrats who are “lying” about GOP presidential nominee John McCain and Palin, the Raleigh News & Observer's Barb Barrett says.

It was led by a local pastor, Rev. Walter Leake, who prayed: “Father, you said the truth will set us free. We know the truth is out there, and the truth is that the other side is lying, unbelievably lying. ... God, we ask you to close their mouths.”

Stay classy, Republicans! We wouldn't want you to say anything that might raise the ire of Democratic Voters in a swing state like My North Carolina any more than you already have!

This also from the same rally:

Those Brits are at it again! Over at teh BBC, they are asking if the United States with all of our financial difficulties of late are losing our status as a world superpower. Now, of course you know that only someone from a "foreign" place could ask this question. If anyone FROM the United States of America asked this very pertinent question, why that person would be an America Hater. Someone that hates the troops. Perhaps someone that would like to see the socialization of the financial industries in this country (oh, you say Bush and Co. already are working on that deal)?
