Discuss among yourselves
I’m off to Texas for a couple of days, to do some groundwork for my upcoming gig. I’ll be back here next week. In the meantime, keep yourself busy pondering these important questions:
(1) Are we seeing the second Iranian revolution? And if the mullahs are ousted, do we open another embassy in Tehran?
(2) Will any criminal indictments actually result from the parade of people being dragged to testify before a federal grand jury about the various antics of former governor Mike Easley and gang?
(3) What does it say about me that I can discuss seriously the cultural impact of Lady Gaga?

(1) Not likely. But we are seeing Iran’s very young demographic beginning to throw its weight around which will bring changes.
(2) One can only hope, in the mean time it makes for some good entertainment.
(3) After all these years nothing surprises us about you.

2. There look to be some campaign finance violations that might lead to charges and convictions. Too many flights, and those are expensive. There may also some violations of 14 C.F.R. 135 on the part of some of Easley’s flying buddies. The big question is, does any of this lead to deprivation of honest service? The charge that brought down Jim Black and Meg Scott Phipps.
For Larry the Provost guy and the ex-chancellor guy they just look like liars at the moment. As long as they tell the Grand Jury the truth, they’ll be in good shape. Providing they have not told differing stories to the FBI previously. You can bet that someone will go over their FBI statements and their Grand Jury testimony to check for any inconsistencies.

3) You’re just joining the rest of us entertainment news zombies. Just make sure you’re prepared for the half-hour Jon & Kate Plus 8 discussion.
By the way, I’m waiting for the copy cats to come along and ride the coat tails…

4) I bet he’s going to Crawford to ghost write a memoir.
