		<description>BIN's never been to the beach. Poor guy. Someone should put him on a plane to Nice or maybe the Dominican Republic. The beaches there would really put him in a tizzy - hell - he might never come back!  But then again, BIN has probably never been out of SC, let alone on a plane to anywhere. But I bet he'd look good in a skimpy speedo. 

It's called a blog. It's funny. It's satirical. It's political. And it's hilarious when you get your conservative thong in a wad over a photo of a woman in a bathing suit...Maybe you think women should be wearing hijabs.

Get a life dude - and if you're such a prude, why are you visiting this site every day, multiple times a day? Who's paying YOU?</description>

		<description>BIN

I've never read an attack on children on this blog.  The argument of most sensible people is against the bureaucrats running the SC Dept of Education who never miss an out-of-state conference  at which they want to spend your tax dollars on hotels, meals, etc.  But, I guess if you keep repeating the lie enough, it might actually stick Mr Goebbels.

You call that picture porn?  Until we see some money shots and penetration, they're just pictures.</description>

		<description>Shaving $11 million from promoting SC tourism is very unwise in these shaky economic times.  Each dollar entering the state from somewhere else turns over something like 6 times.

Furthermore, when demand is soft, people forsake longer trips for shorter ones.  And with shorter trips, traditional air travelers convert to auto travelers, which can only be a plus for a state like SC.

Lastly, drops in hotel occupancy hurts the state's unemployment, especially in the lower wage bracket.  Consequently, more people seek welfare and increase the state's expense.

Yeah, cutting $11 million is kinda dumb, SC.</description>

		<description>sic(k) willie, 

Bland porno will not keep the perverts reading.  And they make up 99 44/100's of your regular readers.  But you can count on the BIN News Editorial Staff to stay focused on your sad little porno site no matter how much it insults the intelligence of grownups. 

The posts by some of the perverts to this entry seem a little off topic. 

Looks like you're trying to pump up interest in your next attack on children.  Didn't you hear about what Jakie said?  The voucher scam is dead in S.C. Pack up your "baggies" of scam money and forget it.

BIN News Editorial Staff
Flair and Balance

P.S. While readers are asking for updates, how about an update on who is the Midland's elected official you boldly claimed has a Strom problem.  You promised and promised details.  Why so silent?</description>

		<description>1. StrokerDude,

Smokers aren't stupid--we are willing...&#38; dangerously adventurous.

2. Will,

Give us the poop on the porky, conscienceless educrats.

3. Will,

Please try a little harder to find tourism photos with natural breasts.  Those are fake.  They sit artificially high, where they should be squat.</description>

		<description>Fits,

The Senate took 11 million from commerce and put it in PRT's budget.  But some folks wouldn't have it aka Sanfordians and the Governor threatened a veto, and then with the state having to fund Medicaid without the help of the passed but vetoed cigarette tax (and anyone who says that a cigarette tax violates a tax pledge is a moron, because it only taxes the willing...and stupid for that matter).  Budget cuts were across the board, and there were no earmarks, but I see that you will always find a way to twist the story to your readers liking.  I agree that cutting the budget doesn't help, but times are lean....but hey we got those HIDEOUS new license plates with Travel2SC.com on em</description>
