I just found this out from a great email, and I can't even find this info on MSNBC's site!

MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" will broadcast live from Elizabeth City, North Carolina on Thursday, August 22 at 9 p.m. ET. Maddow will devote the full hour broadcast to exploring the North Carolina voting revisions signed into law last week.
Thanks BroadwayWorld.com!

I'm going to try and find it online or go find a neighbor with cable, heh heh heh...

Update: friendly emailer sent these links:

Local TV station
http://www.witn.com/...
(they could use some support in the comments)

Local Newspaper
http://www.dailyadvance.com/...

ECSU Facebook page has the announcement but no details
https://www.facebook.com/...

Go to the comments mentioned in the first link, you know what to do ;-)

Now off to my appt. late (the dog picked now to do her Houdini trick, and I had to get her first, but glad to get these links up!)

Navajo gave me this assignment a while back. Better late than never?

Or more like we need all hands on deck here in The Old North State, and fighting the ALEC-powered machine always goes easier with a bunch of people you've visited/drank/picnicked/dined/drank with etc. as we all know. What, I have one too many drinks in the previous sentence? Oh no, I don't have enough drinks, considering what we've been though in the last two years :-(

I have a long history with the infamous SF Kossacks, so when we moved to Raleigh four years ago (yikes time flies when your rights are being stripped away), I wanted to replicate the camaraderie as best I could, being that I am not a Diva like my mentor ;-)

I'll close my eyes and jump...

RALEIGH, N.C. — Voter identification legislation in North Carolina will pick up steam again now that the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down part of the Voting Rights Act, a key General Assembly leader said Tuesday.

But didn't overcome the red counties this time.

I'm a relative newbie here in NC, so I may not know some of the back story here.

But wanted to put up a short but sweet (I hope) diary. I know we took Wake county finally... and the other usual suspects, county-wise came through I think.

But next time... the tide of history and demographics are with us... Although now we have a GOP governor and legislature. NC has one of the best early voting systems in the nation. But that's going to change, we know this. The new governor has already come out in favor of changing this all for the worst.

Bev Perdue's veto of the abominable stripping of voter's rights will not hold after McCrory takes over in January

#UnAmericanGOP #SadAndPatheticGOP

@reince #SadAndPatheticGOP #UnAmericanGOP The head of the Republican Party undermines American interests for personal gain - Pathetic!

My tweet responding to the incomprehensibly self-serving tweet by a major figure in US politics. Incredible.

This is from the head of the fucking GOP:

Obama sympathizes with attackers in Egypt.Sad and pathetic.
— Reince Priebus (@Reince) September 12, 2012

I agree that this tool should resign over this statement, and is a shining example as to why these goons need to be as far as possible from the nuclear button.

Gotta agree with this, as well:

@digby56 Big time... the #DeathStench of John Bolton is wafting all over this.#SadAndPatheticGOP #UnAmericanGOP #Romney/Ryan2012

So now #BelieveInAmerica is showing up as promoted by Ryan… as in paid for.

We've been doing so great at turning lemons into lemonade on twitter… Let's do it again.

It's fun, it's easy, it only takes a couple of minutes, and doesn't take you away from more serious work.

I'm mostly in mourning over this…

Wunderground.com sold to The Weather Channel Companies
It's true. After 17 years as an independent company, Weather Underground has been sold, and will now be part of The Weather Channel Companies (TWCC.) As one of the founders of Weather Underground, I am excited about embarking upon this new chapter in our company's history. Having the infrastructure, resources, and content of The Weather Channel Companies will enable wunderground to create some great new products, and improve the quality and reliability of our existing content.

A point of reference for those who don't get it: (2+ / 0-)
This is like Markos selling DailyKos to News Corp.
Facebook
If you say "gullible" real slow, it sounds like "green beans."

Didn't see this mentioned here yet, so this is one of those FYI diaries.

Only two question marks, where I would have liked to put ten exclamation points!
What a way to wake up from oversleeping 'till noon after taking a muscle relaxant for the first time last night (back injury). I'm heartbroken, damnmit! He's my guy in congress, I was so happy to find out when we had to move in '09 that we'd be in his district. Then 2010 happened. Like state houses everywhere in the nation, our new teabagger General Assembly went into overdrive, ramming through the right-wing wish list, and Perdue broke records with her vetoes, but most were overturned.

Now... were are we now? Over the Squiggly Of Power for one thing.

I'm so proud. It's 'only' a local paper, but important to an important part of an electorally important state in next year's elections ;-)

And Letters to the Editor are on of the best ways to get to the exact people who need to hear our views on issues like the gawdawful proposed state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

Oh goody, I get to repeat one of my favorite lines I've read around here in a while (can't recall who to tip for it, let me know and I'll give credit):

Follow me over the dead orange armadillo...

I'm part of a neighborhood group and we're having a meeting tonight with several subjects, one is how the Southeast High Speed Rail corridor will affect our neighborhoods and how to get a win-win for everyone... which is possible and we're creating, one city council member at a time...

One of our group insists on dragging in his ideology, and is always citing right wing talking points to show us how we should be opposed to high speed rail completely. Which would negate any effects on our neighborhoods indeed, but most of us are very much in favor of the rail projects, but he tries anyway.

I have tried to get him to quit trying to 'broaden the scope' of what we're working on, but he insists I'm trying to stifle free discussion... [eyeroll]

I'm only telling him our neighborhood group isn't the forum for that discussion, he needs to take that argument elsewhere, there are plenty of avenues for that. (Even more now that the Popes just bought themselves the NC state house... now I have to keep myself from going off topic... bad highacidity, bad ;-)

I did a search on diaries written the last two days about making Dr. Dean chair of the DNC once again... but no one addressed my question... a question which may seem naïve to many of you but I'm of the "There are no stupid questions unless you are asking about Palin's latest tweet" school of thought.
