I'm just glad that her popularity plummeted once people found out more about her (and had a chance to listen to her speak). I want to make a tshirt that says "Gosh darn it, I'm voting for Obama!". On the back it'll say "You Betcha!" Well said! I’m just glad that her popularity plummeted once people found out more about her (and had a chance to listen to her speak).

I made it to level six (189,000), where the time limit finally made me panic, and I confused South America with Africa. (Not my fault, they look just alike!) O well. I'll try again later. Phooey.

]]> Comment on Holy moly! by Larry Carter Center http://www.scpronet.com/wordpress/2008/06/20/holy-moly/#comment-15556 Larry Carter Center Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:10:51 +0000 http://www.scpronet.com/wordpress/2008/06/20/holy-moly/#comment-15556 Extremist religious lobbies like the one above got a big boost from Columbia Rethuglicans with the passage of H3008. This "dovetailed" bill authorizes full tax exemption for property purchase speculations by "charities" as long as the land is not "leased or rented" while NOT PART OF THEIR "ministries." Given that churches, the American Legion, Friends of the Hunley, et cetera already get tax exemption on any property they claim is part of their "ministry," this new law invites full participation with insider land deals along proposed highways or land scams of any nature. A cash rich church like Monaghan of Dominos Pizza or the ultra-fundamentalist cult announcing their intent to move to SC to "take over for god" will do so tax free on any land purchase, not just church buildings or parsonages. Of course this will harm local gov't reducing tax rolls & drive up prices for honest businesspeople & homebuyers. Americans United may win the "I believe" license plate lawsuit exposing that scam but this H3008 is the darkest bill I've ever read out of a state legislature.

]]> Comment on Charleston lawyer and activist Harriet McBryde Johnson, 1957 - 2008 by Wes Behrend http://www.scpronet.com/wordpress/2008/06/05/charleston-lawyer-and-activist-harriet-mcbryde-johnson-1957-2008/#comment-14933 Wes Behrend Sun, 15 Jun 2008 01:26:39 +0000 http://www.scpronet.com/wordpress/2008/06/05/charleston-lawyer-and-activist-harriet-mcbryde-johnson-1957-2008/#comment-14933 I am sorry to have learned of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends who are grieving of their loss. I never knew Ms. Johnson personally, but from what I have been told of her, she was a true champion in the fight for the rights of those who have been wronged that didn't have the resources to get justice. She especially fought for the rights of the disabled. No one should ever discriminate against those who are on disability, whether the disability can be seen or unseen. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is an important piece of legislation that continually needs to be enforced, not watered down by the Republicans. I hope that the work Ms. Johnson did for the disabled and for the less fortunate will continue in her absence by the law firm that she represents. Please accept my condolences during this time of mourning. I am sorry to have learned of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends who are grieving of their loss.

I would love to see interviews with teacher who support the GSA or with parents who have had problems with Eddie Walker, the mother who stated he "stole" the funds out of her daughters memorial scholarship and transfered it to Irmo's athletic program come immediately to mind.
