THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, Y’ALL CERTAINLY DID IT YOUR WAY
I know TPS has been a little “dead” lately as I’ve been flooded with real work, but fear not, we are alive and well. Unfortunately, it appears the same cannot be said of my colleagues at Shot Politics (formerly A Daily Shot, A [...]
NO, NOT REALLY… BUT HE SURE WOULD FIT IN
I usually wouldn’t pay attention to a site with the word “dandelion” in it, but luckily the headline “Karl Rove to head Bob Jones University Polysci Dept” was bold enough to pique my interest.
Thankfully, it only turned out to be a mildly humorous parody of [...]
TENENBAUM LAUNCHES GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN ON FACEBOOK
Like her state schools superintendent replacement, Democrat Inez Tenenbaum may be using the Internet to launch her 2010 campaign for governor. But unlike Jim Rex, who took office as South Carolina’s top educrat two years ago, Tenenbaum is being a bit more direct about her intentions.

SC AG SIGNED AMICUS BRIEF TO SCOTUS RE: DC GUN BAN
The U.S. Supreme Court’s substantial 5-4 decision today that the District of Columbia’s 32-year-old ban on handguns is a violation of the rights granted by the Second Amendment was a major victory for South Carolina and Attorney General Henry McMaster, who signed an amicus brief [...]
I HOPE YOU THINK THROWING FANS OUT OF HIS OWN CONCERT
If you didn’t get the headline and subheadline, then you aren’t listening to enough Taylor Swift and subsequently, you are a sad human being.
Anyway, FoxNews has video of country superstar Tim McGraw helping security toss out an “unruly fan” at a concert in [...]
TEAM TOMPKINS ONCE AGAIN DOING BATTLE WITH THE TRUTH
The guys over at First Tuesday Strategies (pictured on the cover of their 1994 album “Turn it Upside Down” above) have put together a little “Consultant Roundup” in the hopes of playing up their “big wins” in this year’s primary elections. It was a clever little [...]
DESPITE PARTY VICE CHAIR’S PLEAS, IT MAY BE A WHILE
After the thorough butt-whooping laid down by Jake Knotts in Senate District 23 Tuesday that left Katrina Shealy and her consulting firm — which pretty much bet the farm on winning that race — licking their wounds, Lexington County GOP Vice Chairman Scott Malyerck sent out [...]
