Coming In February …
Brace yourselves, because you’ll be hearing a lot over the next few weeks about a brand new e-mail service that we’ll be offering beginning on February 1.
How come? Let’s face it, people … this economy sucks donkey balls and we need to get paid.
The good news is we promise not to talk about our new e-mail service every five seconds like those annoying local TV anchors who won’t stop pestering poor people to purchase their digital converters for the “Big Switch.”
Seriously, is it February 17 yet?
Anyway, what we’re referring to is the FITS Morning Blast, a daily assemblage of the finest news and political information pulled together from South Carolina’s mainstream media, blogs and select national outlets.
Delivered to your e-mail address by 8:00 a.m. every weekday (with a weekend wrap-up delivered on Sunday evenings), the “Morning Blast” will include dozens of relevant articles every day with built-in hyperlinks for your clicking pleasure.
It’s the perfect way for Palmetto politicos to start their mornings, and yes, we’re bringing back the beloved “SC Fast Fact” for those of you who remember Sic Willie’s immensely-popular “Governor’s Daily Press Briefings” … you know, from way back in the day.
We’ll have more details in the coming days, but for now just get really excited (and get your credit card ready).
Because while every single article you read here at FITS will remain proudly, 100% free of value (and hence free of charge), signing up for the FITS Blast is going to cost you one Andrew Jackson a month, or six of them a year if you buy in bulk Sam’s club style.
We know, we know … highway robbery. But like L’Oréal, we’re worth it.

Sic,
This is great, but you might have to step your game up – Wesley Donehue has his links up and morning e-mails out by 7 a.m. – that dude never sleeps on the job.

sic(k) willie’s “Morning Blast” will be nothing more than him passing gas as he gets out of the bed.
By 8AM??
sic(k) willie, you’re a lazy “…ignorant slut.” If you can’t get your pitiful contact our by 6AM, you will not compete. Period. Trust us.
The BIN News Staff is not impressed. First of all, only a f@@l pays sic(k) willie a fee for news and information they can get for free.
But, the world’s full of f@@ls.
Any child can do what you plan.

An aggregator is so easy to set up that even a Midlands’ elected official with a Strom problem can set one up in minutes.
Is your “bud” at SCHOTLINE impressed? He’s been doing it for years. He knows what his site’s content is worth and charges accordingly. Nothing!
The difference is he gets a few paid ads. You won’t.

BIN,
Why aren’t you watching the inauguration?
By BIN News Editorial Staff on January 20th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
“Natasha,”
Actually, the BIN News Staff was watching the inauguration, which is why we had some typos in our most recent very intelligent and clever post.
You see, our entire staff was seated up front in an area where electronic devices were not allowed. But, we had a great view.
You should have been there.
In order to keep up with the sic(k) one, we had a staffer run over to Union Station every hour to check our email and make a few blog posts.
Thanks for asking.
