| Wednesday, November 19, 2008  Monday Morning Coffee - The state is buying Grandfather Mountain, bailout bill announced and ASU wins big by BooneWeb Blogger (posted: 9/29/08) Glancing at some Monday morning headlines as needs more butter.
N.C. to buy Grandfather Mountain. 'The $12 million deal also gives the state a conservation easement on the 600-acre park area, popular with visitors for its Mile High Swinging Bridge, nature museum and animal habitat that includes the mountain's beloved bears. The deal, to be announced Monday, is intended to protect the land and its abundant wildlife and vegetation from development.'
Day, night of tragedy on Caldwell roads. 'Tragedy struck Caldwell County roads Friday as two wrecks within a span of four hours left two people dead, including one child and the mother of another, and sent five others to hospitals with critical injuries.'
Less gas, more frustration. Oil makes our world go round.
Golden West deal has hobbled Wachovia. Proof bigger is not better.
Leaders back historic bailout; 'Now we have to get the votes'. 'Congressional leaders said the price tag of the bill may be unpalatable but is necessary to keep credit flowing for student loans, car loans and home mortgages.' (Folks who didn't see this coming wants your trust they know what they're doing)
McHenry: Obama campaigning in Dem areas. 'He's made four visits in the last 30 days to North Carolina and not surprisingly he only made stops in Democrat areas.' (It's all about exciting the base, not expanding it)
Poll: Obama outperformed McCain in debate. 'They said Obama did better overall in the debate than McCain, 46%-34%.' (Sounds familiar)
Big second half lifts Mountaineers to win. 'The Mountaineers, the nation's No. 3-ranked NCAA championship-subdivision team, broke open a tight game in the second half and went on to a 48-14 victory at Kidd Brewer Stadium.'
Jake, Panthers air it out, ground Falcons. Two straight home wins!? (Pinch us)
