The Ticket

Reality check: It's going to be Romney and he's going to pick Mitch Daniels as his VP...or maybe Paul Ryan.

Juan Epstein

Sweathog Juan Epstein has died. He is survived by Mr. Kotter, Vinnie Barbarino, Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington, and of course, Arnold Horshack.

Bev Who ?

Let's face it, Perdue quit because governing is hard and she wasn't up to the task. This was a substance-less term because of a substance-less governor.

Perdue will be a footnote as the first female governor of North Carolina, but aside from that, her term is going to be forgettable because it WAS the most forgettable and meaningless administration in modern North Carolina history.

UPDATE TO MY COMMENT BELOW:

Heath Shuler is leaning towards running. He would be the most competitive candidate the Democrats could front. This is still Pat McCrory's race to lose though.

Remember Us ?

That whole "Occupy" thing seems to have faded. Well at least what little credibility they had in the first place has faded. Events have revealed what I said all along: this is the same old tired group of Left wing activists we've always known. The only time you hear about them now is when one of their flock gets arrested.

I'm sure that the number of arrests of Occupiers vs. Tea Partiers isn't even close, but the media just can't adopt that lawless and violent theme when it comes to liberal activists.

But we know. America knows.

Sometimes They All Get It Right

Not the same opinions, but the same conclusion.

Legends

Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest men ever to drive a race car, and Darrell Waltrip has been of the greatest ambassadors for the sport behind the wheel and in the television booth. Congratulations to both on being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame last night.

Charred Grill Marks On His Rear End

Listening to the Italian Coast Guard Commandant Gregorio De Falco light into Captain Francesco Schettino of the ill-fated Costa Concordia reveals a spectacular verbal ass beating.

My guess is that the ship will be refloated, refitted, renamed, and back on the high seas within two years. Schettino is lucky that this happened so close to shore in shallow waters or that boat would be in a watery grave with a lot more dead bodies.

Having been on many cruises, the sight of this huge modern ship resting on its side continues to amaze me.
