RESULT IS ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT
If you’re over the age of 15, you have probably spent more than enough time in one of our fine Department of Motor Vehicles offices. Time spent in one of these bureaucratic hellholes is roughly equivalent to having a root canal while watching paint dry. Except the [...]
I received some great news yesterday when York County GOP Chairman Glenn McCall told me that he will put his name in the hat to be South Carolina’s next Republican National Committeeman. This is awesome for a number of reasons, chief among them being that the guy currently holding the position and the guy [...]
For the first time since 2004, South Carolina GOP Chairman Katon Dawson is celebrating his birthday. That means he’s turning 13 years old today. It also means that he is automatically open to all sorts of hilarious jokes about “acting his age.”
I wonder if that means he can legally drink alcohol, drive a [...]
SENIOR SENATOR PICKING UP INFLUENCE AT GOP NOMINEE’S SIDE
If you have yet to see the 2006 hit “300,” then you are missing out on one hell of a good movie. It could be best described as a “modern interpretation” — emphasis on “interpretation” — of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. In [...]
SENATOR TO INVESTIGATE SANFORD IN POSSIBLE PORT ROYAL MISDEEDS
In the wake of our massive story that Gov. Mark Sanford pocketed at least $4,000 in campaign cash from a Lowcountry developer prior to interfering on his behalf in the state’s multi-million-dollar sale of Port Royal, Orangeburg Sen. Brad Hutto said he will file legislation calling for [...]
SOUTH CAROLINA INKS $66 MILLION DEAL WITH THE YEAR 1875
Rather than beat around the bush with some drawn-out lead paragraph, I’m going to come right out and say it: AT&T sucks. There is absolutely nothing about that company that isn’t doesn’t flat-out atrocious. They are the Internet Explorer of phone companies, only much, [...]
If you haven’t heard the sad news yet, conservative author and commentator William F. Buckley Jr. passed away today at the age of 82 after battling emphysema. Buckley, along with Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, is widely considered to be the father of modern conservatism. Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. went so far [...]
OTHER STATEWIDE OFFICES TO BE APPOINTED UNDER HOUSE BILL
I’m not completely opposed to the idea of having gubernatorial candidates choose running mates and eliminate elections for the office of lieutenant governor. But I’m not sure I’m on board quite yet. And I’m certainly not in favor of having the governor appoint any of [...]
I don’t use Internet Explorer because it’s a giant pile of horse dung that has yet to catch up with the technology of 1995, much less Web 2.0. Instead, I use Mozilla Firefox — which you can download by clicking the icon in the right sidebar, below the videos box — because it is [...]
That’s the only reason I can think of that Gov. Mark Sanford’s office would charge nearly $1,200 for four days of e-mail records requested by the Sunshine Blogger Project under the Freedom of Information Act. Unless, of course, they had something to hide. But seriously, what are the chances Sanford and company would [...]
