Is Mike Huckabee a light-weight?

What’s not to like about Mike Huckabee? Aside from some differences between he and I on a few issues, very little. Except that he is a lightweight, and two developments this week should end any talk that he is presidential timber, let alone should be considered the hottest candidate in the GOP pack.

During the Speedway Debacle, many business owners told me that they were getting harassed by the city and that issue brought some sunlight to it. Apparently, this is a national trend.

The question is, should you really need to have to keep lawyer on retainer in order to open a business in Old Town? Is that really the kind of business atmosphere the city’s elected officials want to create? And if Old Town is going to make that a requirement—intentionally or not—what effect is that going to have on the small boutiques, art galleries, and antique stores that make up the very atmosphere the regulations are trying to promote?

The global economic boom of the last 25 years - the greatest story never told.

These three points are key parts of what I refer to as the greatest story never told. It is a story of optimism. It is a story of wealth creation. It is a story of economic growth and prosperity. In the end, it is ultimately a story of great hope and great promise.

Charlotte Blogger Ogre quotes Fred Smith and manages to squeeze in a lie about the latest illegal immigration flap.

Keep in mind this means that taxpayer cash (not paid by the illegals) will be given to illegal aliens for education. We are literally rewarding them for breaking the law with actual cash. Other US citizens are not given this cash, just illegals. So you if you want to attend college in North Carolina and get discounted rates, just claim you’re breaking the law and you get free cash.

A great review about a surprisingly good movie.

You can read the review of the Dan movie above to get the sit-commish plot, but don’t be put off by that. What I can say about the movie as that at its heart there is none of that girl’s eye view of the world that makes the average chick flick just too much to watch.

Here’s the most important story of the 2008, and it’s getting little coverage.

The pre-Thanksgiving flap over a Republican judge’s comments about redistricting is a classic case of a politician committing a sin by speaking the truth.

The truth is that the 2008 and 2010 elections are critical to the long-term political future of North Carolina.

Is Mike Huckabee the Fred Thompson we wanted in the first place?

Huckabee is filling the role Fred Thompson entered the race in September to fill. He is the socially conservative Southern pro-life candidate with a silver tongue and a pleasingly low-key affect. It was Fred Thompson who was supposed to overtake Mitt Romney in Iowa, and it was Fred Thompson who was supposed to be a force to reckon with in national polls in December. But as a candidate, Thompson has proved to have all the spark of a wet firecracker

Maybe it’s because Thompson wants an empty White House.

At this rate, if Fred Thompson gets the nomination, he may nod off during debates with Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama and doze all the way to the White House.

If voters want a restful President, he’s their man.

Finally, Reverend Mike rides the train

What is clear that those cute little recorded train whistle sounds that can barely be heard in traffic are not gonna cut it. The reason why train whistles are loud and scare the fool out of you is so that they can be heard.
