Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat …

S.C. lawmakers aren’t celebrities – and anybody who says they are is no doubt getting paid a pretty penny (of your money) to say so.

They are legends in their own minds, people, and the fact [...] ]]> http://www.blognetnews.com/South_Carolina/go.php?http://www.voiceforschoolchoice.com/2009/12/10/fairfield-representative-rebukes-local-school-board/ Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:54:10 -0500 http://www.voiceforschoolchoice.com/2009/12/10/fairfield-representative-rebukes-local-school-board/

Fairfield County School District’s rude behavior toward an accreditation board’s  investigative team drew a series of well-deserved rebukes from Fairfield representative Boyd Brown.

Brown called the Fairfield County School Board members “unprofessional,”  and referenced their behavior toward the accreditation board as “embarrassing for the people of Fairfield County.”

Guess what? Remember when members of the House put out a number of bills going after “distracted drivers” dealing with their Blackberrys, iPhones and whatsis? The Senate says, “Hello!” Or, maybe a more appropriate greeting would be, “Can you hear me ticketing you now?”

Every time there is a contentious primary race in South Carolina, there’s accusations and cross-accusations of people from the opposing party voting in the primary to cause problems. That didn’t seem to be a problem in Virginia in 2000, when U.S. Sen. John McCain’s primary [...] ]]> http://www.blognetnews.com/South_Carolina/go.php?http://www.wolfereports.com/2009/12/10/prefiled-bills-09-health-care-battle-continues/ Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:33:38 -0500 http://www.wolfereports.com/2009/12/10/prefiled-bills-09-health-care-battle-continues/

It’s no surprise that the health care tussle in Congress has infiltrated the General Assembly.

Did you know there’s a porn film coming out called “Tiger’s Wood?”

Seriously … no word on whether it will star one of the porn actresses allegedly linked to disgraced golfer Tiger Woods, but our guess is it will sell like hot cakes regardless.

We’re pretty sure that Warren Bolton, editorial writer at La Socialista (a.k.a The State newspaper) has a bit of a “bro-mance” going on with left-leaning Columbia, S.C. mayoral candidate Steve Morrison.

Or a “bro-mance” of ideas, anyway.

After all, in administering near-daily journalistic HJ’s to Morrison, [...] ]]> http://www.blognetnews.com/South_Carolina/go.php?http://www.palmettoscoop.com/2009/12/10/mcmaster-leads-in-latest-sc-gov-poll/ Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:48:46 -0500 http://www.palmettoscoop.com/2009/12/10/mcmaster-leads-in-latest-sc-gov-poll/
