Fig appears to be nothing more than Yuppie bait! Swim past it! A local magazine published by out of staters who also publish a number of variations of the same theme in other cities. For shame. If the city of Columbia buys into this, MOVE!

Mr. Folks, you keep mentioning the ““MSM payoff” – which includes $13 million in annual sales tax breaks given to the state’s newspaper industry.” and I wonder; if the media won’t move to stop the extortion of themselves by the legislators by having the sales tax breaks (and others) protected in the state constitution then maybe the voters should remove this immanent threat by forcing our legislators to remove the tax breaks from the list of exemptions. Without the constant threat of this happening maybe the media would get down to doing the job they are supposed to do rather than kissing butt on the politicians to protect their favored tax status. After all aren’t the tax breaks a form of favoritism and cronyism?

I notice T-Bone is trying to change the subject by distracting people with “Baseball.” By the way, has Navarro’s lawyer looked into the background of the head of the board of the Columbia Police Foundation? That may or may not shed light on any missing money… Good Day, Columbia!

This once fair to middling city is rotten from the top down, Benjamin only makes decisions that will bilk taxpayers out of their hard earned money and deposited into his pocket. The things I’ve heard about him that aren’t reported, makes Ray Nagen look like a fine upstanding mayor alongside ole T-bone.
What? You mean like attractive women that stay as “guests of the Mayor” during the day at the Hilton?
No, that’s pretty widely rumored stuff there. What I heard through the grapevine (and NO that’s NOT a reference to Moe) was quite shocking. Not your run of the mill scandalous fodder.
I am betting Moe is going to do to T-Bone what T-Bone did to Kirk Finlay: unload a gigantic buttocks load of dirt and crap several days before the election such that Benji won’t be able to recover — particularly since he only talks to African-American TV Anchors and Reporters.
Benjamin is Marion Barry without the crack.
Don’t give Lil’Stevie that much credit.

The first thing I think of when I hear “Fig” is uncontrollable pooping urges.
Only a gov’t run/funded magazine could come up with that name.
I’m sure the focus group(s) resided in nursing homes.
Genius work chaps!

Columbia was where Charlestonians who could not make the grade, perhaps they fell off the turnip truck, were shipped to find their own way in the world. Columbia is filled with third-class aristocrats who are snotty without a reason to be so. Those Episcopalians at Trinity think their poo poo dont’ stink because they fancy themselves blue bloods. With streets that end up in oblivion somewhere in the suburbs, and hot, nasty weather meaner than catshit, Columbia is the most overrated place in South Carolina. The action in SC is in the Uostate, followed second by Charleston.
