Boggled
The South Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee has reinstated a state senate candidate to run in the June primary against an incumbent who is believed to be behind a legal effort to have his opponent and nearly 200 others statewide removed from the ballot. Never without political drama, the reinstatement comes with a contrived controversy about a videotape.

South Carolina’s Village Idiot
South Carolina State Senator Jake Knotts is an nfortunate throwback to the days when plantation politics and back-slapping cronies governed through deals made in smoke-filled rooms. To pick the most ignorant thing this fool has said or done would be like picking which star in the universe is the hottest. With the help of Buzzfeed, here’s a leading contender for “Jake Knotts’ Greatest (#)hits.”

The South Carolina Con
South Carolina is a great place populated by wonderful people (and it’s share of buttheads). It’s a state with great tradition and even greater potential, but one of those traditions is threatening it’s future. That tradition is the subversion of con artist politicians and it’s greed-driven relationship with guttersnipe media. Now, that con job is about to steal an election.

SC Blogger: U.S. Troops Are “Hoodlums,” “Nobodies” & “Juvenile Delinquents”
There have been some very unfortunate incidents in combat zones, some of them recent and caused by U.S. military personnel. Of all of mankind’s stupidities, war is the worst of them all and it becomes even more-so when combatants cross the line from warfare to humiliation and degradation. But these are isolated incidents and in no way represent American values. There is a group of people, however, that believes otherwise. To them, “military service has become almost a scarlet letter.”

Not Nikki
Now that the Republican Party has nothing to keep it occupied , the latest buzz is about Mitt Romney’s running mate. I’m not sure where to put this on the Scale Of Excitement. Maybe somewhere between Swamp People and Celebrity Apprentice Boardroom Rants.

It’s A Great Day In… Oh, NEVER mind!
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has instructed state employees to answer official telephones with the ever-so-happy greeting “It’s a great day in South Carolina!” To be honest, I put the exclamation point in there. That item of punctuation implies enthusiasm, a feeling I’m not sure is involved with every phone pick-up in state offices. So, is thIs salutation a pronouncement or propaganda?
