TPS EDITOR ALMOST LAUGHS, THEN SEES CUP PICTURES
I expected that pretty much every blogger out there would attempt some kind of lame April Fool’s Day trick, so I decided that I wouldn’t do anything. I don’t know if that makes me cool, or unique, or neither, but I’m not doing anything. Sorry.
Of course, [...]
GET YOUR PASSPORTS READY
Gov. Mark Sanford just announced that he will not ask for an extension to implement the federally-mandated Real ID program. He had until today to file for more time and, according to the Associated Press, he chose not to do so.
The decision means South Carolinians may not be allowed to board [...]
GRIDIRON BASH, STRIP CLUBS TARGETED BY PARTY POOPERS
I’m not sure what’s been going on lately, but it seems like there are a lot of people trying to rain on parades around. Not like the literal rain that came down at the Carolina Cup Saturday and ruined an otherwise good time, but metaphorical showers that [...]
I WISH I MADE $750K A YEAR TO BE A BASKETBALL COACH
Reports are trickling out that Western Kentucky University coach Darrin Horn will be the new men’s basketball coach at the University of South Carolina.
Horn, 35, leaves Western Kentucky, his alma mater, after five seasons. [...]

When you add in the fact that a number of these situations have involved starters — including highly touted quarterback Stephen Garcia — it’s been a particularly [...]
CANDIDATE CLAIMS INCUMBENT POSSIBLY BROKE STATE LAW
I’ve written a couple times about the very heated race for the at-large seat on the Columbia City Council, and on Friday the other shoe dropped. And it could spell disaster for the incumbent.
Challenger Cameron Runyan held a press conference at the site of the Five [...]
BOBBLEHEAD, CARNES END U.S. SENATE PRIMARY BIDS
There’s only one quasi-opponent to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s assured Republican re-nomination after two would-be challengers announced they will not be able to afford the State Election Commission’s hefty $10,158 filing fee for GOP Senate candidates.
Former Myrtle Beach mayor and 2004 U.S. Senate “candidate” Mark McBride — also known as [...]
RCP SCHOOLS POLITICO OVER STATE PARTY CASH
I wrote last month that the South Carolina Republican Party is loaded, especially when compared to state Democrats. They have a huge amount of cash in their pocket and are ready to get behind anyone who wins the party’s nomination.
So I was quite surprised when The Politico ran [...]
CONSERVATIVE GROUP REACHES OUT TO SC’S BLACK VOTERS
I had never heard of the National Black Republican Association until I read about the above-pictured billboard which has recently gone up in Orangeburg. But apparently this controversial campaign to persuade black voters to join the Republican cause is working, because there are a lot of people [...]
REAL WORLD STAR BACK IN COLUMBIA, WORKING AT LOCAL BAR
I’ve caught word through a friend that one of the stars of the upcoming The Real World Hollywood — which has got to be about the 800th season of that show — is not only a native of Columbia, but also works at a local watering [...]
