Whereas the toothless right wing is here to accept this resolution ...

Funny stuff today at the beginning of this morning's televised Greensboro City Council meeting (the one where they passed the budget).

Councilman Mike Barber read a resolution - which the council approved 9-0 - congratulating the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team on its Stanley Cup win earlier this month. You might remember the Canes played at the Greensboro Coliseum for a couple of years.

The resolution contained a few, uh, overstatements that made this southern girl snicker. Like the Stanley Cup being described as "the most prestigious and coveted trophy in all of professional sports."

Anyway, Mike Barber finished up by saying: "The television audience at home can't see this, but the entire Hurricanes team is in our audience and we will present this to them."
