Hey, if I didn’t ruin your weekend, who would?

  • Anybody else want to know more — much damn more — about that “plainclothes SWAT officer from Gaston County” who was tooling down 277 “working a case” in a battle-wagon full of ammo when they ran smack into a QC carjacking? I do. I’ve never heard of a “plainclothes SWAT officer.”
  • Just how much more General Fund revenue will the city of Charlotte have to pump into the $158m. arts bundle that was supposed to be funded by the car rental tax hike and stealing property tax revenue from the new Wachovia tower? The city must pay CATS $18m. a year regardless of the amount the portion of the car rental tax dedicated to CATS generates toward that total.
  • So CMS is gonna conduct rolling criminal background checks on all employees and then — sit on that info? How wonderfully, perfectly CMS.
  • Does anyone in Official Charlotte care that the whistleblower in the VCU-Rodney Monroe flap was just named Richmonder of the Year? Didn’t think so.
  • Did you know that the new Air Jordan for 2009 includes Articulated Propulsion Technology? Yep, it does. The limited edition ver will retail for $230, the base model only $190. And we wonder why the guy isn’t at every Bobcat game.

Must stop for now.
