The wacky stories just keep coming about freshman Republican state lawmaker, Glen Bradley of Franklin County (http://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2011/03/07/rep-glen-bradley-wants-north-carolinians-to-coin-their-own-currency). As we have reported in this space on numerous occasions, Bradley is a far right, anti-government ideologue who pretty clearly has doubts about traditional concepts of the American union and who spouts a lot of ideas of the kind you’d hear at a John Birch Society confab. Indeed. Bradley once publicly endorsed the Birchers on his website.

Today, Michael Biesecker of Raleigh’s News & Observer had an amusing story (http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/03/17/1059132/legislator-says-the-state-needs.html) about Bradley’s scheme for North Carolina to establish its own currency. The overall gist of the story was that Bradley is – how shall we put this? – a little nutty.
