Governor Easely....another feckless Democratic politician

Easely and his bride and staff took a nice taxpayer paid trip to Italy to promote NC as a vacation spot for Euro-spending Italians. Must've been some trip because it cost you and me over $170,000.00

Must be nice to be able to stick it to the taxpayers to pay $61,000 for a chauffered Mercedes. I wonder how people like Easely can even look a fellow citizen in the eye without blushing in shame. What a jerk!

By the way...I doubt we'll ever know what the ROI is on this boondoggle. I'm sure he wouldn't want to be held accountable. Again, what a jerk!

Since I had a dictionary.com page open...

feckless

1599, from feck, "effect, value, vigor" (1470), Scot. shortened form of effect; popularized by Carlyle, who left its opposite, feckful, in dial. obscurity.

So feck is what, a Gaelic derivation?

I'm sorry. It's Friday, and my mind tends to wander on Fridays...
