Good riddance to this sorry sack of crap. NC is much better without him.

Whoo hoo!

Justice arrives even if a little late!

I wonder what Mr. Fusion has to say about this?!

Forces of freedom on the march! Washington DC trembles!

Fraud and stealing from the poor are "mistakes."

ROFL!

Hey...

I wonder who would win a Stupid Contest, Frank Ballance, or the prior occupant of that seat, Eva Clayton.
Hmmm.

No evasion, no failure to pay, but mere failure to file a tax return gets prison time? No other crime involved? Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.

Ballance admitted dipping into foundation money...[and] sharing $143,250 with his mother to pay for community programs.

...He meant well. The end justifies the means. Isn't that the moral code of the left?

Highly recommended reading. This is sweet justice for this A## Clown.

Yes, he said so himself: he would call them (violations of the law) "mistakes."

He didn't mean to.
