We’ll confess to not knowing much about state Representative William Brawley of Mecklenburg County at the moment, other than that the bills he’s sponsored suggest he’s a fairly mainstream Republican. But his response to the Larry Pittman Lincolngate fiasco—Pittman, you’ll recall, wrote on Facebook that the Civil War was unconstitutional and Lincoln was a “tyrant” […]
Travis Graves has hundreds of pictures that he says prove that over the last five years, hundreds of millions of fish have washed ashore along North Carolina’s Neuse River, which runs from northwest Durham into the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds.

Calling it a move that was “reluctantly” made doesn’t make it any better. The NCAA caved. And the organization knows it. This just about says it all. From […]
It’s the beginning of a new week, but this isn’t your typical Monday.1) UNC takes on Gonzaga tonight for the college basketball crown.
