Joe Boylan is dealing with his demons. Good luck, Joe. Consider yourself included in my prayers.

Well, it looks like the Democrats are just having a plain out good week. In the words of Paul O'Connor, Do-It-Yourself Stupidity is in with Republicans, showing just how dumb representatives like Patrick McHenry are like. But hey, us Democrats aren't the only ones screaming it from the rooftops- apparently Lance Sigmon is the only Republican with the guts to actually say a Republican did something wrong, as he tears apart McHenry in this video. God, I love Republican infighting, especially when one of their own breed is the one pointing out McH's many flaws.

But it gets better.

This was covered in the open thread comments, but in the interest of throwing a bit more light on the subject, let's take a closer look.

Rep. Joe Boylan has been charged with driving while intoxicated. Highway Patrol troopers charged the Pinehurst Republican after he swerved off the side of the road, hitting a tree, in Cameron on Thursday, the Southern Pines Pilot reports. He was treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital.

Linda Daves has responded to Jerry Meek's letter to the editor, casting stones in the glass house the NCGOP calls home.

The chairman of the party of Mary McAllister, Thomas Wright and Jim Black should get his own house in order before deciding to become the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong in state government.

Apparently, she's already forgotten about Coy Privette, David Almond, Joe Boylan and Michael Decker. It looks like we might soon be adding Patrick McHenry to that list of perverts and petty criminals.

The Southern Pines Pilot reports that the Moore County District Attorney's Office is continuing an investigation into state Rep. Joe Boylan's 2006 campaign to see if two workers illegally voted in the May 2006 primary.

Hey, you Moore County people! Even up here in Randolph we're hearing that Joe Boylan is angling to win the Almond-Privette award for the Republican Sexual Impropriety of the Week. The Pilot last Saturday had a recap of the Story So Far...

Late Tuesday night, The Southern Pines Pilot ran a story in which Joe Boylan called the rumors of his wild exploits baseless. The hard copy of the paper hit the stands on Wednesday. By Thursday, Joe had to issue retractions to two of his statements. Misrepresentations? Or Lies? Hmmm.....

I'm posting this to the front page. I don't think the headline makes it clear - this is a big deal. I think we can kiss the hairdresser goodbye. - RP

Hairdresser Joe Boylan goes public to deny rumors that he groped a fellow legislator.

Some interesting reading from Psychology Today.

1. Men like blond bombshells (and women want to look like them)
2. Humans are naturally polygamous
3. Most women benefit from polygyny, while most men benefit from monogamy
4. Most suicide bombers are Muslim
5. Having sons reduces the likelihood of divorce
6. Beautiful people have more daughters
7. What Bill Gates and Paul McCartney have in common with criminals
8. The midlife crisis is a myth—sort of
9. It's natural for politicians to risk everything for an affair (only if they're male)
10. Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist

Wonder if David Almond and Hairdresser Joe will use all this in their defense?

In Virginia, the US Navy, the Governor and the Senators put all their cards on the table about possible sites for Outlying Landing Fields. In North Carolina, we know sites are still being considered, but the Governor and our two do-nothing senators decide it's better if We the People don't know what they're planning.

The legislative Black Caucus finds itself on the defensive because of possible conflicts of interest in how scholarships are awarded. The leadership goes into hunker-down mode, fully expecting the crisis of confidence to blow over.

A Republican representative in the NC House RESIGNED this week, while leaders refuse to explain why to We the People. They are claiming this is a "personnel" issue. Sorry, but that dog don't hunt. This is not a "personnel" issue. This is a public servant behaving like a pervert in a public office. An elected representative was forced to resign by the leaders in his party - and they don't explain why.
