6. This story actually shocks me. McCrory is falling apart.

I'm in North Carolina, and things are not going well for our governor. He and the Tea Party and the Kock Bros have pretty much comprehensively messed up the state. This man's sarcastic comment "thanks for nothing" could have been in reference to almost anything...it's that bad here. But I'm actually shocked that the governor and his team showed this little political savvy as to to engage in such a small, petty, vengeful act.

I guess the Duke Energy thing is really getting under your skin, eh, Pat?
