I don’t want to link to this guy’s shit ass blog, but check out page 102 of this Carney financial disclosure form.
That’s $2,190 paid (twice) to Mr. Mark J. Fraud who claims to be a blogger, but is really an astro-tuff operation funded by John Carney.

73 years ago today, FDR signed the law that created the Social Security program. This pay-as-you-go (as designed, where younger workers pay for the older ones) program has been not only one of the most popular, but also one of the most effective programs in the history of the US.

“Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”

Dana Garrett picked up on something I totally missed:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Lee today hinted at some trouble in his campaign staff. Some “personnel changes” needed to be made:
