Last week’s news that McClatchy newspapers were declaring bankruptcy wasn’t a complete surprise.

Chests are being thumped defiantly at Low-T headquarters on Raleigh's Jones Street. The McClatchy drive-bys are convinced that they have found Gov. Pat McCrory's Watergate.

A few weeks ago, I wrote that partisan control of the U.S. Senate may well be determined here in North Carolina, where Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan suffers from low job-approval ratings and a close association with unpopular President Barack Obama.

McClatchy and other mainstream media outlets blew the doors off of The NC Rural Center earlier this year - exposing all kinds of cronyism and corruption to public view.

Lefties have been giving me grief for personifying our junior US senator as a sock with ping-pong ball eyes and string for hair.

For months, we've been subjected to stories from our state's dwindling, money-bleeding mainstream media fawning over Big Bill Barber's Traveling Circus & Freak Show.

McClatchy and the other surviving cartels in the dwindling, money-bleeding mainstream media are working overtime to try to sell us on the "fact" that the average American is furious with the GOP over a 17 percent freeze in federal spending during the first two weeks of October.

Chuck Schumer and the gang are afraid they might be at risk of losing their Kay so they are calling out the troops to save her neck from her angry constituents in 2014.

During the current drama over the "government shutdown," we are peppered with a lot of moaning and groaning about GRIDLOCK. Lefties and their lapdogs in the remnants of the legacy media pine for the days when their agenda - "gems" like The New Deal and The Great Society - simply got ramrodded t

You've gotta love this civility, peace and love crowd. When they ran things into the ground in Raleigh, they frequently shut down GOP and conservative protests by lecturing about the need for "civility."

I've been watching politics in this state for quite some time and I CANNOT recall any prior administration in Raleigh having its appointees subjected to such invasive public scrutiny.

Make no mistake - we are NOT exactly "fans" of the welfare state here. In our opinion, the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) could collapse into a giant sinkhole - never to be seen again - and the world would be a better place.

We've got a unique situation here in Moore County. We are one of the most reliably Republican counties in the state. Yet, our only local paper is owned and operated by the same Democrat operatives who owned and operated The Raleigh News & Observer for years.

I was out at a social gathering last night, when I overheard a conversation that bothered me. These were some folks I know - low info voters who are moderate to conservative in their politics - who I know voted for Pat McCrory in 2012.

McClatchy Rob is just beside himself. According to his headline today, college students are going to have to work harder. (To vote, that is.) *Apparently, working harder is a bad thing, these days.*

Rob "Mr. Politics" Christensen - who has spent THREE decades at The N&O missing stuff like John Edwards's blonde with the camera, Mike Easley's corruption, and Dennis Wicker stiffing a pizza guy - thinks he has the state Senate's president pro tem ALL FIGURED OUT.

It sounds odd to hear me praising McClatchy, but they've done some bang-up work pointing out the waste in the NC Rural Center and making a case for its closure.

If you believe McClatchy and Bill Barber's zip-tie crowd (or the "eye candy" pictured with this post), the GOP-dominated state legislature is preparing to strip North Carolina's women of their God-given rights and put them ALL at risk of death, disease, and dismemberment.

The useful idiots at McClatchy and WRAL are breaking their necks to paint Bill Barber's lefty fruitcake convention at the legislative building as the moral equivalent of Rosa Parks, James Meredith and MLK crusading for civil rights in the 1960s.

I know we call ourselves "daily," but we're only human. Sometimes we need to stop and smell the roses. The staff and I did just that for the Memorial Day weekend.

Attention Tea Partiers: McClatchy's crayon corps says the aging former hippies, now suckling at the government teat from their tenured university positions, screaming and hollering - and getting arrested - at the legislative building are JUST LIKE YOU.

The average low-information voter -- perhaps one of the few remaining paying McClatchy subscribers -- would look at that headline and say something like: "Hmmm. It sure does look like THAT Pat McCrory is covering something up!"
