So, yesterday on Bill Lemay’s show, WPTF-680 in Raleigh, he mentioned the progress in Iraq compared to the 540 Beltline in the Raleigh area. Interesting allegory. Let’s look at the details on 540. 540 was added to the NC State 7 year plan in 1984. The first segment was opened in 1997. At this time, […]

Unfortunately for them, it ended up on TV SAN FRANCISCO — One police officer was suspended and about 20 others faced discipline after making videos parodying life on the force that used racist, sexist and homophobic stereotypes, city officials announced Wednesday.

An interesting article in Sunday’s Raleigh News and Observer, written by Republican Political Strategist Carter Wrenn (Talking About Politics). Sometimes I think the folks over at the Triangle Transit Authority must be living in "Cloud Coo-Coo Land."

So, perusing the Raleigh News and Observer, and way back near the end of section A-1 is a cute little article about the Kyoto Protocol and protests for it: Thousands of protesters took to the streets in cities worldwide Saturday to demand urgent action on global warming as delegates continued their work at an international […]
