The line that must swell His Irrelevance's heart with pride: "...Governor Pat McCrory has made it clear that, by cracky, he's not going to be out-peckerwood-ed by those folks one state down 95 [South By Gawd Carolina]."
"Out-peckerwood-ed." Good one, because it's true.

One comment in particular under Mr. Pierce's essay deserves dissemination:

There must be something in the water up in Raleigh. As a reporter in the Charlotte area I interviewed McCrory a few times and sat through way too many meetings over which he presided, and I knew the NC house speaker reasonably well when he was just a humble town commissioner in Cornelius. I didn't see eye to eye with them on a lot of issues, but I also thought they were both reasonable, pragmatic people. I've watched in absolute horror as they've basically ignored what's going on in the state in favor of pursuing the national party's ideological agenda. At a time when unemployment was above 10% in NC, Tillis made an amendment banning gay marriage his top priority, even while admitting that he fully expected it to be overturned within 10 years. With unemployment still well above the national average, McCrory's solution is to lube up and tell the jobless to bend over. What dicks.

Hey I thought that Republicans were against raising taxes, but that's exactly what a new bill does, raising taxes on the working person while giving wealthy folks tax breaks.
The name of this legislature and Governor is lying, cruel bastards.
And what new bill is that?
Complete yahoos. It challenges one's entire vocabulary of outrage to up the outrage every day to match their new levels of insanity and meanness.
Purposely denying one half a million people healthcare that's paid for; taxing the poor while giving the wealthy tax breaks? This is the meaning of the new Republican Christianity!
Throw these money changers out!
Yes, and put in another set of moneychangers, and probably worse.
