It'll be a big day down in Kinston tomorrow when Pope Puppet Willie Ray Starling goes head-to-head with wingnut Steven LaRoque in a rematch that will be the first test of the Puppetmaster's imperial staying power. As you may know, a "do-over" was ordered by the SBOE after voting irregularities threw the integrity of the election into doubt. (This particular do-over has nothing to do with Art Pope's alleged electioneering, except for the fact that Willie Ray would have been burnt, crumbly toast if the Puppetmaster hadn't been pulling his strings.)
If Starling wins, the Puppetmaster will be one step closer in his scheme to make North Carolina, Inc., another one of his chain stores. If LaRoque wins, the Puppetmaster will have flushed a shitload of money for naught.
Not only will the Puppetmaster's power be tested tomorrow, so will the people of Kinston. Do they want to be part of the Puppetmaster's Extremist Evil Scheme? Or are they willing to settle for the run-of-the-mill wacko with the French name?
We shall see.

Call me out-of-the-loop
who?
CountryCrats - my thoughts, my blog.
Jesus Swept ticked me off. Too short. I loved the characters and then POOF it was over.

It's OK to be out of the loop
Rita Spence is Van's campaign manager. I haven't spoken with her recently, but she's just one of those really nice, well-organized people who understands southern politics and knows her district really well.

Anybody got any updates on Swiftboat Ted?
I read enctoday.com occasionally and he's often on there spouting nonsense. I think he's a Starling man.
Puppetmaster Ted
Puppetmaster Ted is running the whole show in
Kinston. Whoever wins the runoff will owe their
political fortunes to Teddy. He is the ruler of
this town and we all cater to his every whim. We
got Willie Ray on the far right and Stevie Boy as
the 10th District playboy. Stevie has taken credit
for everything since the pilgrims landed at the Cape
Lookout lighthouse. But it has been interesting down
here in Sampleyland. We do appreciate BlueNC although
Sampley does not approve of us logging on. We have
to log on whenever he is not around.
Hi Redhawk!
Thanks for the scoop. I didn't know Little Teddie was a Puppetmaster in his own right. Is there any known connection between him and The Man Who Would Be King of North Carolina (Art-the-other-Puppetmaster Pope)?
What's hard to understand from a distance is why on earth any elected official in Kinston would want to be associated with Sampley? To read his posts and learn about his background is like walking through a sewer. Mind you, I'm fine with profanity and ridicule, but his stuff borders on threatening.
Puppymaster Ted
Ted does not have quite the funding of Uncle Art, or at least I do not see it that way. Stevie Wonder has aligned himself with Ted as they are both "non status quo." Ted rails against the status quo on a daily basis, but does not consider the incumbent, Little Stevie, to be the status quo. Ted does have a following among the "discontented." Most of the rest of us are too old and frail to say much about him. He owns the local ENC message board and does not tolerate any negative discussion about him and his many wonderful projects. You need to come down and see how he has revitalized Herritage Street. But do remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you may get you eyes put out if you do not see the beauty of it all. Check out our message board. You will find that Ted is considered to be an "underdog" around here. If he is an "underdog," what are the rest of us?
Red Hawk
was the name of Ted's "construction" company - the "for profit" he used to justify his political activity through Homecoming II. He closed it to avoid paying any of the $359,000 judgment levied by the courts in a copyright violation case.

What's in a name?
Oh yes, I remember Red Hawk well, among other names. He certainly is adept in his business dealings. His favorite project now is his "wooden boat." This "wooden boat" is destined to become a larger attraction than Disneyworld and Las Vegas.
Yes, well.......
Maybe some day by some twist of fate, the "wooden boat" will be completed and will be turned over to the citizens of Kinston - the people who have probably actually paid for most of it.

Primary update
According to Kinston Free Press City Editor Charlie Kraebel's Blog Starling is leading LaRoque in the unofficial results.
I've been thinking of this as a Democratic win-win. Either Art Pope is slammed with a LaRoque win or with a Starling win (that now seems likely) it's a centrist Democrat versus a far-right puppet.
