Jim Black is the Democrat Speaker of the North Carolina House. He is currently under investigation by various different agencies and people, including the FBI in regards to various alleged illegal activities. He refuses to resign. There are even Democrats who are calling for his resignation, so you know it's got to be REAL serious.

However, a poll released last week (without the actual questions or methodology, I might note) claims that "NC residents are unsure whether House Speak Jim Black ... should stay in office or resign."

I'd love to see the questions on that poll. And I'd love to see if the poll asked, "Jim Black: ever heard of him?" Or "Did you know that the NC House of Representatives has a speaker?" Or even "Did you know that NC HAS a House of Representatives?"

Then again, if you want an idea of the people polled, simply look at the result of "Should the minimum wage in NC be raised." 79% want it raised and therefore must have a government education which includes zero understanding or comprehension about basic economics. I wonder if those same 79% (a whopping 250 people of the entire population of NC) would answer Yes to the same question phrased differently, "Do you think that the legislature should pass laws that will force companies to fire people and raise all their prices for everything you buy?"
