Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!

The esteemed State Senator from over in Watauga County was one of 14 in the Senate on Wednesday to vote against allowing live dealers at the tables in Cherokee, apparently on moral grounds.
What caught our eye was what Sen. Soucek had to say about his opposition:

"It's not an industry where things grow," Soucek said. "It’s just an exchange. You’re not creating anything. I don’t like the economics of it, and I don’t like the problems it causes to families."

We wonder if he realizes that he's just described Wall Street - a place where stocks are exchanged but nothing is really created and nothing grows. Nah. Not a chance.

Fixed News: ignoring racial bigotry since 1865

Absolutely ridiculous analysis. To propose that Barack Obama can't win Logan County, WV, because of economic conditions is ...beyond words.

That's one hell of a campaign promise

House Speaker Pro Tem Dale Folwell, R-Forsyth, apparently thinks promising to be buried in Ashe County when he crosses over the River Jordan will get some votes going into next Tuesday's primary for the GOP nomination for NC lieutenant governor.
It was at least enough to garner some otherwise unwarranted coverage by the Ashe Mountain Times.
We wonder what sort of promises he made to voters in the other 99 counties.
