Wire: Shoes, Scandal, Etc.
HPV: No Laughing Matter In SC
A vital area of public health was brought to the fore this week when actor Michael Douglas (above) disclosed that human papillomavirus (HPV), transmitted through oral sex, allegedly caused his stage four throat cancer. HPV is a sexually-transmitted disease that significantly increases the risk of cervical cancer in women and causes between 25-34 percent of oral cancers in [...]
The Charleston “Post And Corruption”
The largest newspaper in South Carolina also happens to be its oldest and most historic – boasting a proud tradition of professional journalism that dates all the way back to 1803. And while you’d think preserving this proud tradition might matter to the current leadership of The (Charleston, S.C.) Post and Courier… you’d be sorely mistaken. [...]
Cut The Damn Grass, SC
Last week we wrote another story recapping how overextension, incompetence and corruption at Gov. Nikki Haley’s Department of Transporation (SCDOT) had brought paving and maintenance work on South Carolina’s roadways to a standstill.
That’s right … while totally unnecessary interchanges are being constructed for totally unnecessary roads, this chronically mismanaged agency has stopped upgrades on its existing network [...]
Robert Ford Scandal: The Report
The abrupt resignation of S.C. Senator Robert Ford (D-Charleston) this week in response to a series of damning (and embarrassing) revelations regarding his campaign finances has put the kibosh on the legislative investigation into his misdeeds.
But had Ford not chosen to resign his office (news of which broke exclusively here on FITS), ”Republicans” in the State [...]
SC Ethics Reform Bill Slammed
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley scored a minor political victory when the “ethics reform” legislation she’s championing (with a jaw-dropping abundance of hypocrisy) scored a coveted “special order” slot on the calendar of the S.C. Senate.
What does that mean? It’s simple: Unlike legislation that lawmakers say they care about (but really don’t), “Haley’s” ethics bill will [...]

SC Senator Used Campaign Funds For Porn
There really is something in the water in South Carolina, isn’t there?
First there was Strom Thurmond’s “love child,” then there was Mark Sanford’s “hike on the Appalachian Trail” which was quickly followed by the (still-denied) “raw dog” sexploits of current Gov. Nikki Haley. Not to be outdone, S.C. Sen. Robert Ford (D-Charleston) now stands accused of [...]
$29 Billion?
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s scandal-plagued, completely incompetent Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has made a real mess of the Palmetto State’s infrastructure situation over the last few years. How bad have things gotten? SCDOT has effectively stopped all paving and maintenance work on South Carolina roadways – while relying on a bailout from Barack Obama to [...]
Nikki’s Sister: Birds, Insects Speak To Us
Remember Simran Singh?
She’s the transcendental mystic who bought her husband (current government-funded nepotism beneficiary Rick Singh) a lime green Lamborghini a few years ago with proceeds from the “family business.” She’s also the elder sister of S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley.
FITS has written in the past about Singh’s guru status … which includes a bizarre obsession with the [...]
