(Sorry, Simon and Garfunkel, but it's apropos.)
Onslow County's (sometime) Commissioner and full-time Republican candidate for Congress, Joe McLaughlin, skipped last night's meeting of the County Board of Commissioners. (I'll use this opportunity to remind everyone that he also skipped the special meeting that dealt with allowing a referendum on giving the Board of Commissioners options for levying an additional or sales tax and that he used his comment period to make a speech aimed at furthering his campaign for higher office at the September 4th meeting.)
Mr. McLaughlin, if you aren't capable of maintaining your obligation to the citizens of Onslow County, you should resign your position as County Commissioner and let someone who will make Onslow County their first priority take the post.
He's probably busy
planning his retirement since he's going to get his butt kicked in the Party of Greed primary.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
General McLaughlin! Please report to your Blackwater unit?

Naw! He was at his monthly industrial military complex meeting and went AWOL after they gave him marching orders to replace a Blackwater commander in Baghdad.
