Re: “The Agenda: Mignon Clyburn breaks FCC glass ceiling, Controlling Edisto floats, Hurricane Awareness Day”
The head of the PSC and ran a newspaper with a circulation around 10k tops for fourteen years has so much experience that she should be put into a key position with the FCC and on a fast track to run the Commission. Real smart. And I am not so sure how she got rich, her family ran a small newspaper that targeted a small market and then she worked in government. Not usually a path to wealth without corruption.
As for her race or gender, it is liberals that worry about those things, not conservatives. Liberals are so trained to believe that is they way they should make all decisions that they fail to worry about things like experience, talent and ability to actually do the job. Liberals are the hate mongers that they accuse their opponents of being. Facts just do not bear out the "I know you are but what am I" bullshit liberals like to pull when the are confronted about their blind hatred and intolerance.
My issue is whether or not she is qualified, which based on experience she most likely isn't, and I doubt seriously she is the best qualified person out there for the job. But, qualification and ability doesn't matter, especially in this administration.
Re: “Charleston County considering a switch to paper ballots”
This is a good way to insure election fraud. If there are issues with the electronic machines figure them out and fix them. Just like letting people vote without an ID this is supported by people who do not care about vote fraud.

Must be nice to have your father get you your job and then be elevated to one of the best jobs in DC with virtually no experience whatsoever in what you are doing.

Re: “Mr. Sanford goes (back) to Washington”
Colbert Busch was supported by the unions that wanted to kill Boeing in the Charleston area. That alone should be enough to see that she didn't have the best interests of Charleston in mind. The district is largely conservative, especially in the fiscal sense and, all of his other faults not withstanding, that is the way that Sanford has always voted. ECB was evasive and vague about her positions so voters had to extrapolate her beliefs based on her supporters and donors such as the union support mentioned above. She had a very orchestrated campaign that largely only went to 'safe' situations. Like/agree with him or not, Sanford campaigned everywhere he could. Also, a bunch of her supporters were obviously not very informed as they thought they should be able to vote for her even though they did not live in her district. As for gerrymandering, it happens in every state, red or blue, and is done to benefit the party that was in power at the time redistricting happens. That is how I have the joy of being stuck in Jim Clyburn's district, arguably one of the worst Congressmen ever.

Re: “EVO”
Not that Urbanspoon is the end all be all but after reading Rosemary's review and positive comments about Baroni's I figured I would look them up. I am always up for a good pizza. Well, 74% approve for a restaurant with a solid third of the reviews negative is not very enticing. I looked at Evo's and 92% positive with nearly four times as many votes and out of the 37 reviews only four were negative, and two of those were about price. If you understand what Evo is doing and how much effort goes into their food you will understand why they have to charge the prices that they do. If not, I would suggest Cici's, that just means that when I have to go on the customary wait at EVO it will at least be for people who understand what they are eating and drinking and not be looking for the nearest buffet trough.
