The Charlotte Observer still believes that there are people out there who think that you can actually get some news from that newspaper -- worse, I'm sure there's some people who actually DO believe that they print news! Instead, the Observer is a complete opinion piece -- just as this blog is -- but the difference is that I admit I have a bias, while the Observer does not.

In this hit piece, sold as news, the Observer starts out with this subtext:

Tougher rules still allow for fundraisers when General Assembly is out of session

That is quite consistent with the Observer's position: you are stupid. The editorial staff at the Observer think that you are too stupid to elect people to represent you and that you should just let them pick for you -- as they try to do every year with their "endorsements." And you shouldn't be able to give any of your money to people running for office -- without checking with the Observer first.

Then again, when I see all the people that vote for "school bonds" when the school board is not accountable for their horrible system, and then people complain about the tax rate (news flash: BONDS COST MONEY), maybe people are too stupid to elect good leaders. Then again, it could be that there's no good people to pick from come election time.
