Abstract:
Sorg examines the damage done to citizens of North Carolina and to the state's reputation around the nation by the current Republican General Assembly.

Sorg lists the five worst Republicans and two honorable mentions that were chosen because of the \"inanity of their legislation and the damage they have inflicted on the state.\" They are [Worst] Thom Tillis, Tim Moffitt, Tim Moore, Paul Stam, and the duo of Pat McElraft and Ruth Samuelson. Honorable mentions are George Cleveland and Marilyn Avila.

Abstract:
A new state law, House Bill 937, a 17-page comprehensive firearms measure, allows conceal-carry permit holders to bring guns into restaurants and bars. The law also allows restaurant and bar owners to opt out of the measure if a gun banning sign is prominently displayed. Proponents of the gun law, like Grass Roots North Carolina, are organizing boycotts against these bars and restaurants. NCGunowners.com is using online bullying against the eateries, calling them \"target-rich\" and those who oppose the law \"fat bitches\" and \"aging arm flappers.\"

Abstract:
Sorg describes a movement that's occurring in the state, the Little Free Library, a nationwide movement that began in Wisconsin in 2009. The little wooden boxes on poles may look like birdhouses, but they're not. They are filled with small book collections, about two dozen or so, and neighbors and visitors just take a book and leave a book. Sorg explores the Triangle Area to find how widespread the movement is in the area. Worldwide there are about 12,000 boxes, with more being built each day.
