From our wire …

TED VICK’S (LATEST) DUI

It is possible that S.C. Rep. Ted Vick’s drivers license would have been suspended or restricted because of (his) previous DUI charge?

SIC SEZ

sic speaking

Good question. Vick’s license was automatically suspended for six months in both of his driving under the influence (DUI) cases because in each instance he refused to take a breathalyzer exam. This is part of the state’s “implied consent” law governing the application for a drivers’ license. Given that Vick’s second DUI occurred almost exactly a year after his first, his license would not have been suspended on the basis of the first charge – which it’s worth pointing out is still pending.

MARKY MARK GETTING BACK INTO IT … 

Mark Sanford wasted no time wading into the Obama scandals.

SIC SEZ

sic speaking

Ahhhh, Mark Sanford and his “larger notions.” We’ll have to ask the lovely Maria Belen Chapur just how large his “notion” really is! This is not his best appearance but it’s probably not his worst, either. Of course it’s pretty obvious why that Fox News gig he got didn’t take, isn’t it? Dude had to get reelected if he wanted to stay on television.

FITS HAS A POTTY MOUTH

ralphie

It is getting harder for me to read your articles. It seems lately that you are including more and more curse words. I am not a prude, but it just seems that you could write at least one article without using curse words. It is getting where the F word is used a lot both in your articles and in the responses. I know you do not have any control over what others say, but could you please tone it down a little like you use to do when you first started? Surely, you don’t use those words with your little ones!

Thank you. This was just a simple reminder and you may not even be aware that this is happening.

SIC SEZ

sic speaking

Appreciate the feedback. Honestly, I do. Here’s the thing: I’m trying my level best to open people’s eyes to what is happening in their towns, states and their country. In that process I get a bit frustrated (obviously). You are correct though. My father used to always say profanity was what someone said when they weren’t smart or patient enough to come up with the right word. I probably need to be more mindful of his advice.

“BEAMER CARE”

beamer care

I think this is called “the invisible hand of the market.” It is often reported that employers will drop healthcare coverage for employees as a result of Obamacare. It looks like BMW has taken the opposite approach by shifting healthcare coverage with a facility that is managed by a division of Walgreens. They actually built their own employee clinic.

You might talk to some experts about what their crystal balls indicate on how this type of private sector medical care might  go.

SIC SEZ

sic speaking

That’s an interesting concept – and an excellent topic for us to investigate. Obviously “Beamer Care” wouldn’t be an entirely private sector solution in light of the extensive subsidies the company receives from South Carolina taxpayers. Also last time we checked its employees will be paying for “Obamacare” whether they like it or not. But still, this is certainly a concept worth digging into. Thanks for the tip!

NO PLACE FOR “WASTE”

sugar creek

After much work (and taxpayer expense) Fort Mill School District’s Sugar Creek Elementary School proudly has renewed it’s Pro Gay Certification through The Anti-Defamation League. The ADL, under the auspices of “tolerance” and “mulch-culturalism created the cutesy “No Place for Hate” program to introduce young impressionabe students into the lexicon of tolerance.

The ADL, better known for its gay rights activism created the No Place for Hate to introduce students to concepts such as tolerance and inclusion. Sugar Creek spends THOUSANDS of dollars per year on school wide multi-cultural supplies, decorations and requires each teacher to adopt a country and take hours of weekend time and personal expense to buy classroom supplies, foods, decorations and take away hours away from students per week to indoctrinate them into the cultures of other countries. All of this while staff, at one point, was forced to take budget cutting furlough days.

This was originally championed by Assistant Principal Michelle Gritz and supported by Principal Scott Fratarolli. Ms. Gritz is known to the district and school board as promoting an intolerant, hostile work environment, while making public her sexual prowess and racial bias. Her bias is so blatant that every continent other than Africa has been represented in Sugar Creek’s years long No Place for Hate process.

So, Sugar Creek promotes No Place for Hate to its students while at the same time it promotes a purposeful hostile work environment and intolerance for minorities.

sic speaking

Wow … “that be cray,” as the kids say. Especially the reference to the deputy educrat boasting of her sexual prowess. We’d like to know more about that! As to the larger issue of government shoving political correctness down the throats of future generations, is anybody really surprised such indoctrination is increasingly shoving out instructional time? Sure it’s important not to “hate,” but it’s also important to be able to spell the word “H-A-T-E.” Last time we checked, public schools were only responsible for doing one of those jobs.

RANDOM PROTESTER GOES TO COURT

protest

I go to trial this Thursday for violating Greenville’s picketing ordinance this Thursday at 8:30 AM in the Municipal Courtroom at 426 North Main Street in downtown Greenville SC. The ticket, issued on January 20th of 2012, was written because my sign was “too big”. On one side it said “Money is not free speech” and on the other it said “Corporations are not people”. I face a fine and court costs of several hundred dollars. I was in front of the Federal Courthouse on Washington Street when the ticket was issued and my signs confiscated.

I believe this is a First Amendment case, and hope that your organization will find it to be of sufficient interest to cover. Here is a link to the docket. My case is on the fifth page of the PDF.

http://www.greenvillesc.gov/MunicipalCourt/Dockets/5-23-2013.pdf

Sincerely,

Gregg Jocoy

But corporations are people, man. They are. Look, I wish you the best in your case, but “sufficient interest to cover” is a pretty high threshold around here. Now … maybe if the judge were to ask “did you think it was too big?” and your reply was “that’s what she said” we might get interested. Especially if the judge is a woman. Because that would be funny.

Good call on the profanity, but my crew is still working on translating and cross-referencing BigT/Grand Tango’s use of it. I was hoping to publish a completed work and sell it to the other commentators —- so they could go back and figure out what he was really trying to say!

But more to the point, is Sanford wearing a little toupee, hair grafts growing in, or is his Propecia taking effect? His hair is looking more poofy. Chapur most be letting him use her expensive volumizing shampoo rather than the cheap dish detergent he usually uses.

per Andy Borowitz in “The New Yorker”; Sanford said “the true test of a leader is this, when he gets in a fix, does he have the presence of mind to lie about his whereabouts? Sadly I don’t think President Obama passes that test” Does this mean Mark is a leader because he could not lie about his trip to the love land?
