Here are three interesting stories to cap off an otherwise semi-interesting Tuesday:
South Carolina Burglars Lower Themselves into Store
[... It wasn't exactly "Mission Impossible," but three burglars managed to break into a grocery store by lowering themselves through a hole in the roof, then eluded the alarm system for two hours by crawling on their stomachs, [...]
The last TPS video of the day for July falls in the “oldie but a goodie” category. Will Ferrell lands a spot-on President Bush interpretation that does a great job of presenting the best solution for the global warming “crisis” (emphasis on the “quote fingers”).
UPDATE: A press release from Sanford’s office confirms that he has endorsed Tim Scott. But in typical Sanford style, he actually spent most of the release talking up Sen. Greg Ryberg (R-Aiken) in a less-than-subtle attempt at playing all sides. The governor did not however offer any love for Ryberg’s competition, Rep. Converse [...]
American Research Group has released its July 2007 poll for the South Carolina presidential primaries. The numbers are fascinating. Rudy Giuliani regains the GOP lead from John McCain but, most notably, Barack Obama charges to the top of the Democratic field.
On the Republican side, Ron Paul shows up for the first time at 3 [...]
House majority whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) Monday told the Washington Post that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen.

We don’t really do the 80’s hair band thing, but it’s Earl Capps’ style and we feel the good people of the Palmetto [...]
When we heard late Monday that fellow blogger and Summerville resident Earl Capps, 36, announced he would accept the state treasurer post vacated by Thomas Ravenel if elected, we were elated. We consider Earl to be a friend and ally in the blogosphere (Check out his site, “The Blogland of Earl Capps,” here). [...]
Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is opening his bajillionth — and by “bajillionth” we mean third — campaign office in the Palmetto State. According to S.C. Politics Today, this one will be in the Upstate and will open on Obama’s 46th birthday this Saturday. Only he won’t actually be there.
But reportedly, Schools [...]
