A buddy passed along an interesting article from the Boston Globe today about faux bloggers posing as part of the genuine netroots community, only to be found out as paid operatives. Okay, not a whole lot of suprises, but our buddy got a big kick out of it because of the recent paranoid-psychotic comments from the McCain campain about us being [...]
We don’t normally reference FITSnews or anything about its writer. Lord knows, we try to never to waste a second of our lives thinking about that hot mess. After all, who wants to be subjected to the constant talk about genitalia, bowel movements, and celebrity soap opera.
However, we take a special exception today because FITS has weighed [...]
WOW! This may just be the worst article we have ever read. Seanna…were you having a bad day or what?
Get this. The title is “Hunter taps like-minded conservatives in S.C. to lead campaign.” It goes on to talk about how those like-minded conservatives ignored an abused child and hates buddhists and muslims.
Lois Eargle told an [...]
We hate using this photo (wink, wink…nudge, nudge)
We were in the audience the night of the Republican Party’s Inaugural Gala when Governor Mark Sanford, who forgot his tux (FYI), dubbed Katon Dawson the best Party Chairman in the nation. We thought is was rather odd of the Governor to say, and we are making no [...]
Representative James Smith (Richland Co.) is preparing to serve his country in Afghanistan – Operation Enduring Freedom - Joint Task Force Phoenix VI. He is a first class public servant, but more importantly he is true patriot. We pray for his safe return and thank him for his service on our behalf.
What makes this story even more interesting is [...]
Too bad he is going to be run out of town as a racist.
The New York Observer has a great interview with Senator Joe Biden. This guy just calls it like he sees it, which we thought was refreshing even though we disagree with him politically. But that never flys in the land of PC-ville.
Biden’s problem now is that [...]
Some time ago we brought up the movement by the state of Florida to advance its primary schedule to either leap-frog South Carolina’s or put it on the same day/week. It is beginning to look like our state will be having more company. The Hotline is reporting that CA, IL, FL and NJ are all [...]
We touched on this subject when writing about Governor Sanford’s State of the State Address last week. We called it the centerpiece of the Governor’s agenda, perhaps his whole administration. We call it now, an necessary inevitability.
Over the past week, every major newspaper’s editorial board has offered their opinions on this subject; all in support of [...]
We here at The Shot are honored to be able to announce that the National Journal’s The Hotline has chosen our website to be its exclusive partner for South Carolina news and politics. As of today, The Shot will be a part of The Hotline’s Political Network.
Everyone involved in politics, from elected officials to political [...]
Credit Senator Jake Knotts for that line during an interview with ETV after Governor Sanford’s State of the State address last night. Surprisingly, Senator Knotts went on to echo many of his colleagues in praising the Governor on setting the appropriate tone and giving him hope for accomplishing his agenda.
Speaking of hope, [...]
OK, its not really about our electronics going all whack-job on civilization and enslaving us for energy or anything, but we thought it made an interesting title. What we are talking about is the ability for political junkies, concerned citizens, activists, and amateur reporters to use new tools to have a powerful affect on the world around [...]
It appears that we won’t have to wait long for the fireworks to begin. Heck, we won’t have to wait at all! Two things of note crossed our paths today that assured us that a level of negativity has begun and shows no sign of slowing.
Over at South Carolina ‘08, a web-community designed by the LaurinLine for [...]
The Chicago Sun-Times has a disappopinting article today, by Robert Novak, covering what was to be the shining center piece of Democrat reforms in the US Congress now that the suckers voting public have put them back in their rightful place of power. Apparently “ethics reform” just ain’t a priority anymore.
Senator Reid was just kidding when he said from [...]
Last week The State Newspaper and the Greenville News reported that Governor Mark Sanford was already butting head with the legislature over some backhanded comments appearing in his Executive Budget. When asked about the comments that offend the legislators, Sanford deflected the blame to the budget writers, saying he was not able to read the [...]
