2 Jul 2009, 10:40 pm

What the flip is the deal with all the people who refuse to turn right on red? There is nobody coming, from ANY direction - GO, goddammit, what the hell's the problem? Jeez this happens several times a day it seems. Was Charleston the last city in... Read More

2 Jul 2009, 4:38 am

To the uptight elitist IOP resident who was returning to Charleston with her Mount P mother on my flight from the Dallas airport:I just wanted to say thank you for reminding me of why people like you irritate the shit out of me. I thought I should t... Read More

I dig da bombdogs 
1 Jul 2009, 3:18 pm

I love hotdogs. I love that City Paper did a "delicious hot dog roundup." Know why? Because hotdogs are the BOOOOMB. You know those guys who stand along King Street late night to sell hotdogs? I love them, too. I don't love it when hotdogs come on ha... Read More

DeMint pens 'new Declaration of Independence' 
1 Jul 2009, 11:33 am

Or so claims Newt Gingrich about Sen. Jim DeMint's new book, "Saving Freedom: We can stop America's slide into socialism." We'll see. I bought the book a few days back, but then this Sanford and Jacko thing one-two'ed me into a state of delirious pun... Read More

Choo choo, goes the vomit 
29 Jun 2009, 1:42 pm

To the "friendly" people who help out on passenger trains. Ugh! I knew that getting a last minute flight would cost me more than my rent (it did), so I decided to take the train. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I should have just sprung for the plane. Livin... Read More

Beer broker takes hefty tip 
28 Jun 2009, 3:56 pm

I underestimated the bureaucratic process of getting a beer in this town on a Friday night. Well okay, going to an upper-King college bar, let alone AC's on a weekend night is not the best idea. I realize that anyone with an ounce of self respect wil... Read More

Missing Mark Sanford 
26 Jun 2009, 3:08 am

That a man whose entire career had been defined by his staunch fidelity to the American taxpayer would throw it all away by committing infidelity seemed like a fate fit for some other politician. In his political life, Mark Sanford had never been a s... Read More

I am chucktown, hear me roar 
26 Jun 2009, 12:50 am

Never have I lived in a place where women are patronized so much. I feel as if I have time traveled back to the middle of last century. Women, we are strong and capable. "Southern Charm" is a pretty bow that covers up a systemic dysfunction of sexism... Read More

Chucktown daytrippers, let me know where you're going 
25 Jun 2009, 11:30 pm

Oh and, that little thing in your car you have which you can't quite figure out yet - it's called a 'turn signal'. And believe it or not, it's not just for use 'when you feel like it'. One more thing: the left lane? It's for passing. Not for view... Read More

Angry tourist explores southern manners myth 
25 Jun 2009, 10:53 pm

Ok, so many locals still continue with the archaic hate mongering of 'go back to where you came from' and 'we don't want your kind' down here - what I don't get is just how, exactly, do you think your economy is surviving in these tough times without... Read More

Chucktown schools need more snuff 
25 Jun 2009, 6:57 pm

Hate to tell you this but we Northern and Mid Westerners are here to stay. So get your acts together and your schools up to snuff because we won't take it. There is more to education than going to the University of South Carolina. While your at it yo... Read More

Local ding dongs need to cut back on Viagra 
25 Jun 2009, 5:45 pm

I LOVE the "go back to where you came from" sentiment among "natives" around here. These are probably the same folk telling black people to "go back to Africa". Unless you're full blooded Native American, I suggest you dive into your ancestry to fin... Read More

25 Jun 2009, 5:40 pm

A couple of old friends showed up in town a couple of weeks ago. They have retired and lived on their 32-foot sailboat for some years now, plying the waters of the Caribbean and East Coast. It's a good life. They have their solar panels and all the b... Read More

How do you like it? Full-on mind melds or casual invigoration? 
22 Jun 2009, 7:27 pm

The people who relocate here from other areas of the country are schooled at institutions other than what prevails here in SC. For that very reason you could tolerate an other viewpoint that wants to meld with yours to create a better place for all... Read More
