Y’all don’t even vote for your own seven term Mayor? Wow. This is why I hate straight ticket voters. Don’t expect 485 to be finished…ever. Light rail? That sounds like it belongs in NewBern.
Of course the Epic Win category belongs to Barack Obama (and Joe the Vice President). I’m [...]
Fail: Mecklenburg County
I Voted
I left uptown at 3pm to vote in Concord. I was done voting by 3:45. What?????? I’m kind of disappointed. Glad to be done and have the rest of the night free, but come on, the craziest thing I saw was too guys bitching at each other about the cabarrus county school [...]
Obama at UNCC
Courtesy of the fine gentlemen at CLTblog, I give you the most important piece of information about Obama’s speech at UNCC:
And for the record, Obama opened his speech thanking “UNC Charlotte”. Not “UNCC”, or even worse, “UNC”. Good times for the university, for sure.
Seriously, can he get anymore awesome?! Yes, he didn’t wear the Steelers [...]
Breaking Fast: ELECTION DAY!!!
I subscribe to the Observer’s breaking news emails, and I saw this gem of a headline in my inbox this morning: Carolina polls open…with long lines reported
Woa, that is breaking news…and shocking. Come on, what is with the ellipses? Holy shit, lots of people are voting today! I totally didn’t see that [...]
Election Schmelection
The Steelers play the Redskins in Monday Night football tomorrow. It’s also election eve. NFL/Election lore says that if the redskins lose, there will be a turnover in the whitehouse. Therefore, my mother’s republican coworker has decided to not wear a Steelers jersey. My mother’s response? “You can’t be a bigger republican than you are [...]
Breaking Fast: Election Eve
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow, you’re only a day away!
After tomorrow no more ad madness. I don’t know about you, but frankly, I’m tired of hearing about Kay Hagan eating babies and Elizabeth Dole’s obsession with golden showers. Honestly, who cares that Pat McCrory wants Charlotte to secede from North Carolina? Is it really [...]

Happy Friday
Wells prevailed! In case you called out today, or can’t hear because of all the noise at the speedway, Citi has backed off enough to let the Wells buy-out of Wachovia go on. The legal battle will continue, but Charlottans can relax for a moment. Just try not to look at your 401k.
Last night [...]
Breaking Fast
Wachovia is likely to be carved up. Who’s surprised? I know this is bad for our city. Trust me. But I just don’t think citi is being “bratty” and “throwing a tantrum” as one wachovia employee sees it. I see it like this. They didn’t want to call Wachovia a failure. A large goal of [...]
Breaking Fast
On a Saturday… at 3pm. Actually I’ve been up for quite awhile and made a delicious, if not random, lunch of salmon piccata. Seriously, how am I single? Speaking of piccata – the chicken piccata at Amalfi is a special recommendation from Meck to you. That more people don’t know about that [...]
Breaking Fast
Wachovia is merging with Morgan Stanley Citigroup WellsFargo. With this new development come even more questions. Chatter on the streets this morning was a lot more optimistic, but no one is quite sure how this is going to play out for Charlotte employees as departments are combined. We will be the east coast banking headquarters [...]
