f you're addicted to North Carolina history, you've probably already got this Web site bookmarked. It's the blog (North Carolina Miscellany) of the folks at the North Carolina Collection at Wilson Library at UNC Chapel Hill, and there's always something interesting going up.
Right now, the folks there have been posting their favorite campaign handbills and other ephemera from the most recent campaign. There's some hilarious stuff -- including Democratic ad that aims to reinforce the impression that former U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole didn't spend a lot of time in the state -- it shows a bloodhound supposedly sniffing for her tracks.
Another funny one is a Republican ad that portrays illegal immigrants strolling into North Carolina beneath a caption saying, "Bev Perdue is Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Illegal Immigrants."
The website has invited people to send in notable handbills and other mailings to save for posterity.
Warning: the North Carolina Miscellany Web site can be habit-forming.

The only problem with the Carolina room is you'd be hard pressed to find any mention of Charlotte or Mecklenburg. They have items of interest about James K. Polk that point out he attended UNC. But nowhere does it mention where he was born. Weird. They mention gold being found by Conrad Reed. But no mention of the Mint in Charlotte. Weird. Must be funded by downeasters (slightly tongue-in-cheek but they do have some strange omissions).
Thanks for pointing out the "NC Miscellany" blog! It certainly is a lot of fun...and we hope interesting and entertaining as well.
In answer to "Stephen the Historian," I wanted to point out that we do have several Charlotte-related blog entries. Please see below:
Wachovia Loan and Trust Company
Charlotte Speedway, Ghost Track of the Carolinas
Charlotte Barbecue
We do have a lot of eastern North Carolinians working here, but the blog manager (me) is from Davie County.

「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上,最重要的一件事,就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己,你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗,耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己,你才能體會所有美好的東西,所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己,你才有愛人的能力,也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步,就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去,以無沾無滯的輕快心情,大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步,則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇,願意接受未知的指引;也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊,一路雲淡風輕。親愛的,你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人,在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.........................................................................................................................................................................................
Do you know buy lindens? I like it.
My brother often go to the internet bar to buy second life linden and play it.
After school, He likes playing games using these cheap linden with his friends.
I do not like to play it. Because I think that it not only costs much money but also spend much time. One day, he give me many linden dollars and play the game with me.
I came to the bar following him and found secondlife money was so cheap. After that, I also go to play game with him.
