Cabarrus Cheap Seats

For those who need to catchup on what’s up here and elsewhere.

Enjoy.

First, here’s what’s been going on ’round here. 

Interesting thoughts continue on the question about Cabarrus Seniors.

The thread on Cabarrus County Commission Candidate Larry Burrage wrapped up; but it was pretty interesting.  Worth a read.

What does the concept that garnered the 2002 Nobel Prize for Economics (on why people make less-than-optimal choices) and Pat McCrory have to do with each other?  Find out here.  (Note: Check out how NONE of the McCrory supporters answer my simple question)

If reading what I write just isn’t enough torture.  Now you can listen to what I say.

There’s another candidate forum available to you.  You better watch since you already paid for it.

A new contributor to the Cheap Seats shows up and makes waves.

These events mean that I will have a different experience of Concord than that of my grandparents, and even my parents. This election will start to pave the way of what road we’re going to go down, and I believe it is very important to foster the growth, and educate us 20-somethings on what the Cabarrus economy should, and will, look like in the years to come.

And here are a few articles I’ve picked up over the past week that were interesting.

There’s more to the Hillary Sniper fire story than the MSM was telling us:

Through the use of secret anonymous sources we will reveal the surprising reality…the “rest of the story”, if you will—and although you may be shocked, you probably won’t be surprised.

Most of you recall the scene…The First Lady leaving the aircraft, looking entirely comfortable despite the potential dangers she might encounter in Tuzla…and many of you recall her saying that she exited the aircraft “under sniper fire.”

Well it turns out there was some considerable truth in her claims—but as we will discover, it’s all buried in a cloak of extreme secrecy we can only now reveal.

The View From 40 Years Ago.

The single most important item in 2008 households is the computer. These electronic brains govern everything from meal preparation and waking up the household to assembling shopping lists and keeping track of the bank balance. Sensors in kitchen appliances, climatizing units, communicators, power supply and other household utilities warn the computer when the item is likely to fail. A repairman will show up even before any obvious breakdown occurs.

What’s interesting is the the private sector stuff (computers, cleaning robots, cash-free economy) has more or less come to frution; but the public sector stuff (improved roads) hasn’t really budged.

If the economy now were as bad as it was in 1996 - we’d be in world of hurt.

Same NC registration data - two separate views: Red Clay Citizen and Left on 49.

This something you don’t see everyday: George Will getting on someone for being elitist.
