George Cleveland

In honor of our Christian nation,
this week's award goes to George Cleveland, (TP, Onslow).

More warnings from Republicans on budget cuts:

Shepard, newly elected to represent House District 15, will join fellow Republicans Jimmy Dixon, who won House District 14 and is also new to the state legislature, and House 14 incumbent Rep. George Cleveland. They say with a GOP-controlled state House, budgetary fat will be on the chopping block.

“An awful lot of oxen will get gored,” Cleveland said. “I expect it is going to cause an awful lot of angst.”

Using idiomatic references to obscure the real-world impact of your actions is not a new political technique, but the days of it being a successful technique should have passed by the 1920's at the latest.

The text of an email I sent to North Carolina House of Representatives members George Cleveland, Robert Grady and Russell Tucker in support of House Bill 2 (Prohibit Smoking in Public & Work Places).

I strongly urge you, dear readers that live in NC, to write your House representatives and support this legislation. Feel free to use my own email as a starting point.
