Later Nader
Once again Nader explores a bid for the White House. This guy just doesn’t seem to get it. Don’t get me wrong some of his principles have merit. But for once how about getting behind a candidate instead of wasting votes. Just my 2 cents. “And the rest they say is history” again and again and [...]

Raleigh City Council is holding a public hearing Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m. at the council’s chambers, 222 W. Hargett St. The council could vote on whether to support NBAF, but could also choose only to hear public comment and delay the decision.

Pet Rules
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door – nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for [...]

Dot Com Crash Was Nothing
Home foreclosure rates have soared, North Carolina now 18th on the list. To get a true picture of what this nation is facing we must turn to international news.
Consider this from the UK.

NBAF Bidding For Disaster
Agricultural economists at Kansas State University have said a large scale outbreak of foot-and mouth disease could cost their state as much as 945 million dollars in agricultural loses. Have any similar studies been preformed in the state of North Carolina?
What is in store for a facility 30 years from now? What economic impact will this facility have [...]
