Friday Five: The Rules
May 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Since I started this community blog experiment about a month-and-a-half ago: the results have been phenomenal.
In a little more than one month, traffic has nearly doubled, page views have more than doubled, the number of unique visitors is climbing steadily, and the RSS and e-mail subscriber list is growing.
The quality of the articles have been great and pretty steady. Of about sixty articles that preceded this one, about a dozen were original material from me - the majority were original articles from others and “thread holders” that I put up (many of them from threads on others’ articles) to hold comments that evolved from other discussions.
Speaking of comments, of the 1,500 plus comments left in the 16 months - 1/3 have been left in the past 7 weeks.
All that being said, there was a request about clearing up the guidelines for participating here at the Cheap Seats. Here are the five rules of the Cabarrus Cheap Seats [Read more →]

Joni Juba on the 2008 Election
May 2nd, 2008 · 37 Comments
Joni Juba decided to comment on Joy Lane.
For some reason, having a sitting Commissioner who almost never comments on here be the 10th comment on the Joy Lane thread seemed wrong.
I moved the comment here.
This is Joni Juba on Joy Lane.

Can Someone Explain Midland to Us?
May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
A couple of weeks back, there was a post from Dan Short that claimed that the Town Council was meeting in secret too often. Then the string of comments required a bit of history that I didn’t have handy.
Since Midland is the next frontier of growth in this County, can some folks in the know review Dan’s post and please give us a little context?

Obama and Hillary to Debate at Junior’s New Bar In Charlotte
April 30th, 2008 · No Comments
Hell might freeze over first.
Apparently there’s something in the water round here that keeps candidates from debating. Check out this video for more details.

Probably the Closest Thing We’ll Get To A Debate ’round Here
April 29th, 2008 · 25 Comments
Holly and Liz participated in a series of comments that might give you some insights to them as candidates. Bob Carruth even joined the fray.
This seems to be the closest thing we’ll get to an exchange between the candidates for the primary.
These comments were moved from Steve’s REBIC thread.

Weekend Open Thread: Make Your Own NC GOP Obama Ad
April 25th, 2008 · 19 Comments
I’m opening up the weekend open thread a little early, because I thought of something fun.
As an open thread - you can talk about whatever you’d like to; but I challenge you…make an ad about any of the commenters, authors, candidates, officials, etc. in the style of the NC GOP Obama Ad.
Enjoy. (I’m moving some comments from the School choice thread to prime the pump)
