Weather Video For the Day
Downpour approachingI went outside and saw this storm approaching and scrambled to get my cameras ready to record it. I grabbed a few minutes of the storm, and have edited in a time lapse of the video at the end.One of the disadvantages to living in a valley is that I can't see storms until they are right on top of me.I was spoiled as a child because we had a clear line of sight into Swain, Clay and Rabun Counties from our location on the shoulder...

Congressman Shuler "Town Hall" on WWNC-AM
In another effort to avoid face to face contact with constituents, Congressman Heath Shuler appeared on the radio show where he felt most safe from the mob, Take A Stand, hosted by Matt Mittan.Here is the video of that appearance and you can watch it, and judge for yourself:VIDEO REMOVED BY WWNCHere is the audio since the video has been removed from the WWNC Ustream Account...I had the video embedded earlier, but WWNC-AM has removed it from their Ustream account.

Thunder Pig Boycotts Radio Shack for Boycotting Glenn Beck
A member of the Barack Obama Administration, Van Jones, has launched a boycott against the advertisers of the Glenn Beck TV Show[see his effort] . That effort has been successful, and many advertisers have dropped advertising on his show. They are still advertising on the Fox News Channel, but not on his show. This should be a lesson about the differences in opinion between Censorship and Freedom. I believe that Glenn Beck has as much right to say...

The incident between Officer James Crowley and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr demonstrates just what a powerful grip fictional narratives have on the minds of leftists. All the leftists in the country, from the President on down, fervently believe that Crowley acted out of racial animosity but they can’t explain what action of Crowley’s indicates his racial animosity. Instead, they must rely on a narrative shared by the subculture to convince...

Audio of Congressman Heath Shuler's Tele-Town Hall on Health Care
.jpg)
Here is the audio that I was able to record of the town hall that took place tonight. I missed the beginning because the power was temporarily out due to a Severe Thunderstorm, and the end because my Internet Connection dropped out. That wouldn't have happened in a real live Town Hall, would it?I'll try to do the same for the September 1st event as well. Hopefully there won't be any storms then.**9.25pm**Here is a complete recording of the Town...
