In what sources describe as an effort to “save face” following a pair of articles appearing on this website (here and here), U.S. Rep. Tom Rice and his former field representative Stephanie Rawlinson sat with each other at last weekend’s annual S.C. “Republican” Party banquet.
Of course the happy show didn’t last long, as sources tell [...]
SC-7 Fired Field Rep Drama Escalates
“It’s A Great Day To Be A Bastard!”
More than two-thirds of live births in Myrtle Beach, S.C. were to unwed mothers, a new U.S. Census report has revealed. That ranks the Redneck Riviera’s crown jewel fourth among the nation’s cities in this category – behind Flagstaff, Arizona, Greenville, N.C., and Lima, Ohio.
Sumter, S.C. is also in the “Top Ten,” with 61.6 percent [...]
Myrtle Beach Is Dangerous
COASTAL CITY MAKES NATIONAL LIST
Beware, snowbirds: Myrtle Beach, S.C. isn’t as safe as you thought it was. And we’re not talking about shark attacks – we’re talking about violent crime of the two-legged variety.
Who says? The website NeighborhoodScout.com – which recently ranked the “crown cubic zirconia” of the Redneck Riviera as the 21st most dangerous city in [...]
SC Tourism Update …
“DOUBLE-DIGIT” GROWTH LOOKING LESS LIKELY THAN EVER
Unlike a lot of government bureaucrats in South Carolina, our founding editor Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) vacations on his own dime. And whenever possible, he keeps his travel dollars within the Palmetto State – doing what he can to support our tourism economy.
That’s happening again this week as Sic [...]
The Wall Is Back
REPETITION IS KEY …
In years past this website wasn’t didn’t have a big enough audience to justify any sort of advance notification of our founding editor’s annual vacation week …
If Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) disappeared for seven days, it really didn’t matter all that much (in fact some would maintain that’s still the case).
Last [...]
Ride On
SIC WILLIE TO DEFEND ATLANTIC BODY SURFING TITLE
When he’s not driving the debate in South Carolina’s marketplace of ideas, FITS founding editor Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) can be found riding the Palmetto State’s wild surf … such as it is.
A world champion body surfer, the 6-foot, 220-pound sexy beast of a blogger has been [...]
Back July 15
SEE YA SUCKAS …
FITSNews will be off the air from July 8-15 as our founding editor heads to Myrtle Beach, S.C. – a.k.a. “The Dirty Myrtle” – to defend his Atlantic Body Surfing Championship.
Posting won’t be light, people, it will be nonexistent … not unlike the dollar amount associated with S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s recent [...]
Site News (And Coming Changes)
Expect sporadic posting this weekend as our founding editor and his family do their part to jump start the state of South Carolina’s tourism economy (it’s all about the RevPAR, baby).
Sic Willie and his expanding brood are heading to the Dirty Myrtle for his grandmother’s 99th birthday celebration – which means you won’t be hearing [...]
Trouble On SC Tourism Horizon
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s tourism czar recently predicted “double digit growth” for the state’s tourism economy in 2012 … although it’s looking increasingly like that prediction isn’t going to pan out.
Wait … if you’re anything like us, you’re probably thinking “why does South Carolina has a tourism czar?”
Seriously … since when did promoting tourism become [...]
“Thaddeus Maximus” Is In
In a thoroughly unsurprising announcement, S.C. Rep. Thad Viers became the first politician to formally declare himself a candidate for South Carolina’s newly-created seventh congressional district on Thursday.
Wait … already?
Seriously … the U.S. Justice Department hasn’t even signed off on this district’s boundaries and we’ve already got ourselves a candidate.
S.C. Rep. Alan Clemmons (RINO-Myrtle Beach) [...]
It’s Tha Pizzle Dizzle, F’Shizzle
For those of you who don’t speak “Snoop,” that headline might not make much sense to you … and for those of you who do speak “Snoop,” you may be wondering why we left off the “m’nizzle.”
D’Bricka$haw feels us, though (what what …)
Anyway, that headline is how the famous gangsta rapper Snoop “Diggity” Dogg might [...]
