Remember this is a state that came very close to having a democratic governer even though the guy elected governer was the one in charge of the election.
They also voted for a dead guy for senator instead of John Ashcroft.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And wasn't it Missouri that elected a dead guy over John Ashcroft?
Somebody out thataway's got some sense, and Gud can't cast that many votes himself, can he??

Yay nerve block!
The reason they want to move? So they can own property.
My friend's husband found a new job that is in a place with a lower cost of living (and they lived there before and liked it), better schools, a shorter commute, people he's worked with before and likes, and even though she has to leave her job here, they come out financially ahead with this move. It's a no-brainer.
Hmph.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not true. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment, to the states.
Smarty lawyer is, of course, correct -- I was just thinking of the original part of the Constitution and not the amendments. And I agree that it's way unlikely that this will get anywhere even if it did get to the court, but, yeah, nutso state leg.
(But, sadly, I know people who would just love to ditch the 14th.)

Sad story. A commuter train ticket agent was killed today (her 55th birthday) when an SUV slammed into the station at high speed. The driver ran away on foot; police are tracking him down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I saw that on the news this morning. The SUV was driving in the parking lot when it smashed though a brick wall and ended up inside the station.
How fast does an SUV need to go to smash through a brick wall?

What's with the runaway SUV's today? Some idiot plowed into 5 people in the middle of the UNC campus today, and I can't even figure out how you'd get a car onto that part of the campus.

... I can't even figure out how you'd get a car onto that part of the campus.
That's the whole point of a SUV, to go places where a car can't.
