Rep. Sue Myrick

Do you feel lucky today, Punk? Well, do ya?

U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers, a freshman Republican from Dunn, has had a concealed carry permit since February, according to Harnett County records.

"I have one. And I'll be carrying," she said recently when asked.

Since February? So, did she start carrying because she was worried about some of her Tea Party supporters, or did she do it to impress them?

If you were to take this statement at face value:

“I understand the concerns of people; environmentally we have to live in a real world,” said Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C. “Until we can develop the other fuels, we will have to depend on fossil fuels.”

you would think she actually supports alternatives to fossil fuels, but we're just not there yet. Well, you would be wrong:

Voted NO on investing in homegrown biofuel.
