In comments on the article where I invite you to name Coy Privette’s replacement, I state that I’m not planning on running for anything in 2008. In this article, I’m going to prove it.

I’ve been trying every evening to provide a few articles for you to read in order not to leave you with the drivel I write and publish.
However, today there’s only one article and it is a MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S DRIVING GROWTH IN THE CHARLOTTE AREA. This article shows the [...]

Open Thread - District Representation on the Cabarrus BOC
November 28th, 2007 · 28 Comments
Normally, I’d let a conversation naturally evolve; but I figure since I’d like to keep the post to inform the process of Coy Privette’s replacement to nominees…we can open up the discussion here. I moved the comments to make it a little easier.

November 28th, 2007 · 3 Comments
A phone call with an Asian client kept me at work until about 8PM. Given that, not much time for blogging. I figured with everything that’s gone on with the Speedway, that I would share a little blast from the past.
This is back from May 2005. It’s the second post I’ve ever written; but it’s [...]

Some Changes Around Here
November 26th, 2007 · Comments Off
During my time off, I did some work to make this blog run a little better.
The first thing, I fixed the Be Heard form. I noticed that during the “upgrade” some of the settings went to a very strict default that didn’t allow guests to post. I also checked the log and saw that [...]

While I personally disagree with the Board of Commissioners decision to postpone the motion to censure Commissioner Privette - I can see the rationale.

An Apology
November 18th, 2007 · 16 Comments
I have taken down what is one of my most popular posts; because it’s not the direction I want to go with this blog.
Interacting with Ric Starnes, the inspiration for the post, reminded me of dealing with the rabid, flesh-eating zombies from the movie 28 Days Later - spreading hate and vitriol while adding [...]
