Here's irony for you: Earl of the North Carolina Legislature (House Speaker) Jim Black wants the legislature to form an ethics committee. This is in response to the first three people assigned to run the new NC Gambling Tax commissions, err...lottery, who have resigned due to "conflicts of interest."

Talk about closing the barn door after the horse have gotten out -- actually a more accurate description would be closing the fence gate after the cattle have left -- and there's no fence, just a gate standing in a field.

He wants to form an ethics committee to examine GAMBLING. As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon!"

Of course, the real reason for this is to attempt to deflect attention away from Jim Black, who has various FBI investigations ongoing into people closely related to, and employed by him. I mean how many sitting speakers of houses in the country currently have a web site dedicated to getting him to resign...run by a member of his own political party?
