Gov. Mike Easley is pretty well known for his quick quips and an occasional dash of self-effacing humor. Reporters at a Tuesday morning news conference about Hurricane Preparedness Week – designed to raise awareness about the 2007 hurricane season and how to prepare for it – heard him get in a pretty good dig at himself. Easley had just mentioned that Bryan Beatty, his secretary of crime control and public safety, was bi-lingual.
And Easley went on: “I’m bi-ignorant.”
But not about hurricane safety. Easley knows something about hurricanes, having lived and worked on the coast in Southport, which took quite a hit from Hazel in 1954 when he was a boy in Rocky Mount and Fran in 1996 when he was attorney general.

I heard we are egtting a huge Federal and State grant to bring in Container ships in Southport . This is great news about jobs in North Carolina; The Port will be an alternative to Charleston s Port and Chinese and other Imports will only grow. Hail to Governor Easley.
Ummm.... who PAYS those "Federal and State grants"? That's right - US!
Why should I pay higher taxes so that a container ship can go to one port instead of another?
Oh, and of course taking that land off the open market will make Easley's criminally-obtained waterfront compound go up in value.
It is the habbo credits which make me very happy these days, my brother says habbo gold is his favorite games gold he likes, he usually buy some habbo coins to start his game and most of the time he will win the buy habbo gold back and give me some cheap habbo credits to play the game.
