Comments on: North Carolina? Nah, South Jersey http://gearino.com/index.php/2009/08/27/north-carolina-nah-south-jersey/ Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 22 May 2012 09:41:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: john http://gearino.com/index.php/2009/08/27/north-carolina-nah-south-jersey/#comment-18046 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:19:15 +0000 http://gearino.com/index.php/2009/08/27/north-carolina-nah-south-jersey/#comment-18046 Dear Gearino, Your shameless plug (disguised as your September 1 blog entry) is closed to comment. A loyal reader such as myself must stoop to commenting on a blog totally unrelated. Hard times we're living. Here I am, fixing to logon on to some online bizmag. Why? Because there might be a picture of you sittin' on a front porch with another local luminary. Lets see...Raleigh. Who's famous in Raleigh? Well, whoever it is, you're fortunate to be in their august company. This is none of my business, but I can only wonder what perqs you're getting from the magazine gig - besides filthy lucre. Season tickets for the upcoming Tarheel basketball season, perhaps? Good luck with your house hunting endeavors. Alexander Julian! That's it; it's a pic of you sipping juleps with Alexander Julian - a distinguished UNC alum. He designed their basketball uni's a few years back. The ones with the argyle accents on the sides. Argyle. Jeezus. Dear Gearino,
Your shameless plug (disguised as your September 1 blog entry) is closed to comment. A loyal reader such as myself must stoop to commenting on a blog totally unrelated. Hard times we’re living.

Here I am, fixing to logon on to some online bizmag. Why? Because there might be a picture of you sittin’ on a front porch with another local luminary. Lets see…Raleigh. Who’s famous in Raleigh? Well, whoever it is, you’re fortunate to be in their august company.

This is none of my business, but I can only wonder what perqs you’re getting from the magazine gig - besides filthy lucre.

Season tickets for the upcoming Tarheel basketball season, perhaps?

Good luck with your house hunting endeavors.

Alexander Julian! That’s it; it’s a pic of you sipping juleps with Alexander Julian - a distinguished UNC alum. He designed their basketball uni’s a few years back. The ones with the argyle accents on the sides. Argyle. Jeezus.

Meg Scott Phipps - and 7 other folks charged and did time. 2. Jim Black - currently a guest of the Feds 3. Kevin Gettings - of lottery fame - not elected, however spent a lot of time with elected officials 4. Frank Ballance - just got out of jail 5. Frank's Son - disbarred 6. Randy Parton Theater - no indictments yet - waiting for that shoe to drop. 7. Wake County School Transportation - 7 people - 3 million bucks 8. Wake County Solid Waste - trips to Disney World and points beyond. Weasley Easley is just the latest in what appears to be a very disturbing pattern. Depressing isn't it.

Down here?? They sure don't act like dems, where is collective bargaining?? I call these people dixiecrats. Good luck with this new gov, she truly is a poor excuse for an elected leader of this state. Democrats?? Down here?? They sure don’t act like dems, where is collective bargaining??

When they have no fear of losing power, this is the kind of behavior you get. The Democrats have controlled the statehouse for about twice as long as the Communists controlled the Soviet Union.
