Gov. Mark Sanford's bid for political redemption now in hands of SC voters
Tue May 7, 2013
- Curiousin NC, for what are you forgiving Sandford? Cheating on his wife? Using taxpayers' funds and secretly traveling to Argentina to enjoy an affair with his mistress? Deserting his sons and wife on Father's Day to take that trip? Not paying $5000 toward his son's schooling, as he'd agreed to do, …
Sanford challenges questions with spontaneous poll of women
Sun May 5, 2013
- This out-of-touch egomaniac thought his ex-wife Jenny would run his current campaign because they'd been such a good team in his earlier elections. He offered to pay her this time - generous fellow! He seemed incredulous when she declined the opportunity. Now we find that he'd been violating court o …
Oil sands country: Remote region at the heart of the Keystone controversy
Fri Apr 26, 2013
- Take a look at the Exxon pipeline leak in Mayflower, Ark. That was tar sand oil. So heavy it sinks into wetlands and a lake. Coats waterfowl and fish with filthy oil, contaminates wells, destroys plant life. This was a much smaller pipeline than the proposed Keystone. Haven't heard much about this l …
With homes shattered, students return to school in West, Texas
Mon Apr 22, 2013
- Sadie, I learned from the nuns in elementary school that respect is given to all other people as we're all human and children of God. Once you state that respect"is something you earn" you've decided that you have the right to judge others. If I (or anyone else) doesn't qualify for your respect base …

First Thoughts: Why the gun measure went down to defeat
Thu Apr 18, 2013
- Does your idea of it being a sad day when people live off the efforts of others include investors who aren't working but pay a federal income tax rate of 15% while teachers, janitors, nurses, and ordinary working Americans pay as much as twice that rate? When will we see that list of Americans with …
'Fundamental culture change' on abortion: Conservatives make gains on restrictions
Sat Apr 13, 2013
- Let's get some terms defined. Anti-abortion - against the medical procedure whereby a zygote or immature fetus is removed from a woman's body. Pro-abortion - an incorrect term used by anti-choice individuals to promote their agenda. Pro-choice - a belief that women should make their own medical deci …
Rick Warren: Son who killed himself had unregistered gun
Fri Apr 12, 2013
- The second amendment speaks to the need for a "well-regulated militia" as the reason for citizens to bear arms. Are gun owners part of a "well-regulated militia"? IMHO any citizen who wishes to own a gun should first be trained in its use.
Trio held in connection with sexual assault in wake of teen girl's suicide
Fri Apr 12, 2013
- So many comments start with "If that was my daughter..." but I've not yet read one that says "If one of those boys was my son..." Teenage boys' behavior is too often excused, or the blame placed mostly on the girl. I don't care if the girl was drunk or had previously been promiscuous - rape is never …
Work perks disappear as hours expand
Wed Apr 10, 2013
- Costco's CEO is famous for his $450,000 salary and his practice of visiting every store annually, when he'd spend part of the day wearing a vest with a name tag and talking to employees and customers. Their employees make $17/hr on average, and are loyal to the business. Walmart? Their employees hav …
