There is lots going on in the news. I’d like to touch on just a few of the stories, and you can feel free to add your own in the Comments. So here it is, the good, the bad, the ugly, and a return to the good. As Bronwyn reported yesterday, my governor, Nikki Haley, [...]

Well, this is a mighty interesting story, though I don’t reckon you’ll be seeing it on MSNBC. A former Democratic Representative, Artur Davis, fromo Alabama, admits the real reason the Democrats so oppose Voter ID. In an interview with The Daily Caller, Davis acknowledges the rampant voter fraud being perpetrated by Democratic Party bosses. Now, [...]

I saw the following article at Facebook, posted by The New Agenda. I have to say, it just made me sick to my stomach, and furious, all at the same time. I think the headline really says it all: Victim Ordered to Pay Attacker Spousal Support. Yes, you read that right. The victim of many [...]

~Bumped up~ That are going to make my head explode. First, news that the ten executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are still operating in the red, and which are largely to blame for the housing crisis, got BONUSES. And I am not talking little bonuses, either. Those ten mo-fos got = and [...]

As some of you know, here in South Carolina, we have been under siege by the NLRB, which is attacking Boeing for moving its DreamLiner series to North Charleston. Since we already had the DreamLifter here, it wasn’t exactly an “out of the clear blue sky” kind of move. That hasn’t had an impact on [...]

Oh, man – did SC State Senator Robert Ford (D) really say this? Talk about your classic “foot in mouth” disease. Needless to say, a whole bunch of people aren’t happy with him about his comment. Ford has been in the Senate since 1993. This isn’t the first time he has come out with something [...]

You may think the title refers to the current tax battle currently going on in Congress as they decide if our taxes will go way up in 2011, or stay the same (and by the way, maintaining the same rate does not equal a “tax cut.” That is the media p[laying semantics.). But no, this [...]

Recently my local paper, the Post and Courier, had an article by Yvonne Wenger about incoming SC governor, Nikki Haley. The title pretty much sums it up, Former S.C. Governors Offer Haley A Few Tips On What’s Important. I was really struck by this. The former governors, both Republican and Democrat, chimed in to tell [...]

“Thank God Almighty,” she is free at last. That would be the political prisoner and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, who was, at long, long, last, released today in Myanmar. Just last night, Amnesty International sent out an “Action Alert” to ensure her release today, and unbelievably, it has come to pass: [...]

Update below the fold. As expected, my representative, Jim Clyburn, the Clinton backstabber, won his gerrymandered district. What else is new? Well, actually something quite historic. Republican Tim Scott, endorsed by Sarah Palin, and an African American, ALSO won. It is the first time a Republican African American has won in this state in over [...]

Update below the fold. No, not Election Day, though yeah, that’s right around the corner (thank heavens). No, I mean my very last visit with my Physical Therapist. YAY!!! And he came about an hour earlier than usual, too, so that was good. Oh, what a relief. Not that I am done with physical therapy, [...]

You may recall that there was quite the upset in SC during the recent primaries in which an unemployed man who did no campaigning, had no real policy platform, had no campaign website, and had no campaign funds, beat out his competitor, an elected official. By a lot, I might add. Greene won with 60% [...]

Well, the special elections have been held, the ballots counted, and Nikki Haley beat out her RNC competitor, Barrett Gresham, by a lot. She will now run to be the first female governor of South Carolina. Chances are good she will succeed, too. She is one of many, as this article highlights, Women Pounding on [...]

I had a whole other post ready this morning, and then I saw my “illustrious” representative, Jim Clyburn on the tee-vee, talking about Alvin Greene, the certified Democratic Senate candidate from the state of South Carolina. I mentioned the other day that Rep. Clyburn was asserting that Alvin Greene is a plant. He expounds upon [...]

That’s what SC State Senator Robert Ford is claiming is the reason for his recent loss to Vincent Sheheen to be the Democratic candidate for Governor. If you can stand any more about our, um, interesting politicians in South Carolina, in this eyebrow raising article, Ford lays it all out Ford Admits To Being Bitter; [...]
