Maybe it had a lot to do with the A&T and Wake Forest homecomings.... a lot of people from out of town came to the Triad last week.

I'm sure it has something to do with the BP oil spill, or maybe we can blame it on George W. Bush, the mean Republicans or all the rich people. I say we tax all of these devils and and give the money to all of the deserving poor people. Or maybe give the money to all the folks on Social Security who are always telling us they're on "a fixed income". BTW I hearing they (folks on S. S) won't be getting a cost of living increase next year. I'm so glad we have the Democrats in charge at the White House and controlling the Congress too. Happy days are here again.

It amazes me that people on this website find any forum they can to voice a political opion that has absolutely nothing to do with the article at hand. WTF is thirstytarheel even talking about?
