As a lineal descendant of Thomas Jefferson through his eldest daughter Martha Jefferson Randolph, I have watched with increasing concern as the Founders of this country have been undermined and discredited over the last decade or so. I have also watched the concurrent undermining of our Constitution and the insidious effort to dumb down our people to the point where Ben Franklin's warning about security being chosen over liberty ensuring we would have neither has become a reality. I have spent several years all told in researching the deliberate warping and twisting of American history to serve the interests of the neocon cause, and how successful they have been - and how many tentacles reach into places the average person would not expect. Suffice it to say, Monticello is occupied territory!

The point at which shoppers stay home and save their money for gas, I mean. This amount no doubt varies depending on where you are, but I suspect the effect is the same for small business owners and their customers everywhere. Below a certain amount, people will get out and spend money; above it, everyone goes into a kind of siege mentality and stays home. The shopping public decides that they must horde whatever extra money they have to ensure they can buy gas (around here, for their big honkin SUVs, the dummies) so they can get to work and make more gas money. This is entirely appropriate and logical, since most people are pretty well screwed if they can't get to work! However, for small retailers like myself, it makes one question exactly at what point being open might become unaffordable. Read More

What to do when our Democratic candidates are shooting themselves in the foot - without any help from the opposition?
I am disgusted, bemused, now destined to spend the day distracted, shaking my head and muttering to myself like the people I try to avoid when on the street.
Why? I explain the problem below the fold - Read More

Back in the summer of 04, as the presidential campaigns heated up, my husband handed me an 8" x 10" envelope and snickered, "Take a look at this. You won't believe what's in there."
What was in there? I'll tell you after the jump - and also explain what a glossy 8x10 photo has to do with why Bushies are scofflaws - Read More

On the local news it is breaking news that the lieutenant governor Andre Bauer has crashed an ultra light with one other person in it near the NC/SC state line. The crash occurred around 6:15 EDT. He was reported to be conscious and alert. He was taken either to Spartanburg Regional Hospital or Greenville Memorial, I am hearing both on different stations.
Lt Gov Bauer had recently been in the news because of questions about several instances where he was stopped for speeding but not ticketed. His re-election ad campaign started recently. The plane caught fire during the crash according to WISTV out of Columbia SC.

I am hearing on the tv news and reading in the print media a concerted effort to convince people that the economy is in great shape, despite the horrendous price of gas.
Well, things might be jumping on Wall St, but I can tell you that in my own little corner of the world, Main St is hurting - bad. How do I know this? (Besides being robbed at the pump every day I mean)
I will explain after the jump...

Attended the special called meeting of the Saluda Co SC Democratic Party this evening with husband and 10 yr old daughter.
Held in the picturesque Saluda Co Courthouse, the special meeting was called because only eight people had shown up for the county convention several weeks ago. I'll tell you how many showed up tonight below the fold... Read More

I work in a small town that is bisected by a railroad track. Fortunately, I do not live there, as the frequent train traffic, which shuts the town down for 15 or 20 minutes throughout the day, would drive me nuts.
However, being observant about such mundane and maddening things as train traffic can sometimes help one discern what is going on in the larger world, can point to events that are unfolding beyond the small stage where most of us live out our lives.
Below the jump, I am going to share a fascinating and very revealing tidbit that might make you look at the next train you get stuck waiting for quite differently. Read More

Found out that we have a Democrat running for the US House of Representatives from the 3rd District of South Carolina today, and I am so excited about this!
Lee Ballenger is a high school teacher and a Navy veteran who served during the first Gulf War. His website is: www.voteballenger.com. He is running against the incumbent repuglican, Gresham Barrett (who no doubt has a cousin named Barrett Gresham) - who was not even challenged last time!
I know that many Kossacks have written off the South, but let's not underestimate the level of disgust at the repuglican orgy of greed, incompetence, and general nastiness - even down here, people are beginning to realize how adversely they are being affected by the big-business-lovin', conservative-platitudes-spoutin', sticky-fingered kleptocrats of the GOP.
Haven't felt this good since 1999 - :)
