City of Greenville, NC water supply contaminated

On WITN just now — the Greenville NC water supply is contaminated with e coli. The problem should be resolved within 48 hours. Customers are advised to boil water until further notice.
Nice.
In Costa Rica, the water company turns off the water completely until problems are resolved. Maybe that’s a really good idea. But an entire [...]

Southern Yard Art

Since the rain’s been a bit scarce here in eastern NC, it’s time to cover the yard with alternatives to greenery. Like some swell new yard art – picture your lawn is gnome-like splendor. Or better. Maybe you need a weather vane. A hummingbird feeder. A squirrel playground. You don’t have to water yard art. [...]

Spirit in the Sky

We can support the Spirit of Washington but we don’t have to subsidize it. Swanner gets the same shot at success as anyone else. Here’s how it works: You invest in an idea. You put the idea out into the public. If the public likes the idea, they (the public) will pay for it. I [...]

NC State Budget

State legislators will begin meeting this weekend to hash out the differences between the House and Senate budgets.

The Lumpenproletariat and Money

Have you won a big old lawsuit? Did you have a car wreck which was not your fault and you received a structured settlement… an amount of money too large to be paid out all at one time? Or was the amount rather paltry but still it requires small structured settlements rather than a big [...]

It seemed safe…

but was it? The nearby fires sent smoke spiraling into the air as we sat contemplating PapaDiddy’s gravestone down at TwoBit Hollar. It’s hard to find a hollar anywheres around here since there’s no mountains. But be that as it may, the graveyard was awash in swamp spiders. Aunt Belinda Louise Martha Sue ran for [...]

Our Philosophy:

I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind - that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking. I believe that no discovery of fact, however trivial, can be wholly useless to the race, and that no trumpeting of falsehood, however virtuous in intent, can be anything but vicious. I believe that all government is evil, in that all government must necessarily make war upon liberty... I believe that the evidence for immortality is no better than the evidence of witches, and deserves no more respect. I believe in the complete freedom of thought and speech... I believe in the capacity of man to conquer his world, and to find out what it is made of, and how it is run. I believe in the reality of progress. I - But the whole thing, after all, may be put very simply. I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than be ignorant. **HL Mencken
