That’s right, 100 years …
How cool is that?
Anyway we’ll be back in the saddle again come Monday so try not to miss [...]

A Mister Mom Day
You may have noticed posting has been a bit light today. What’s going on? Well, our founding editor Will Folks – a.k.a. Sic Willie – has been pressed into emergency “Mister Mom” duty. Everything’s fine – the lovely Mrs. Sic (va va voom) is just feeling a little bit under the weather – but there’s [...]
Dr. Evil To Speak
This website’s founding editor is loathed by the political establishment in South Carolina … especially one politician in particular.
But he’s adored by the next generation, as evidenced by a steady slew of speaking engagements on college campuses across the state. And unlike some people, Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) never accepts payment for his appearances [...]
Sic Willie Is Coming! Sic Willie Is Coming!
Posting will be somewhat light this week as FITS’ intrepid founding editor Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) treks to our nation’s capitol for some important meetings on Capitol Hill.
What’s he doing in D.C.? “Conspiring to conspire,” as Luis Guzmán’s character in Traffic once said.
Hopefully this particular visit will be less eventful than Sic’s 2009 trip, during [...]
So There’s A New FITS …
South Carolina’s biggest, baddest blog got a bold new facelift over the weekend … but are the haters still gonna hate? And will its technologically illiterate founding editor Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) figure out how to use it?

Our goal with FITS’ second major redesign was to come up with [...]
Sic Willie: “Extremist”
FITS’ PROPOSAL TO PRIVATIZE HIGHER EDUCATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA DRAWS JEERS
Last week this website reiterated its belief that the Palmetto State’s costly, duplicative system of higher education should be privatized.
“It’s past time that all of our government-funded institutions of higher learning pursue their destinies as private institutions,” we wrote.
This strikes us as an eminently sensible reform, unless [...]
Rush Limbaugh Said Something Else …
“YOUR PENIS IS SMALL BECAUSE OF THE FEMINAZIS”
We don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh. In fact we don’t listen to talk radio at all – or cable news for that matter. Why not? Because we prefer to go out and get stories ourselves rather than having someone spoon-feed them to us. And while we don’t dislike [...]
Liber-TEA Is Live
MMMMMMM … SWEET!
This website has toyed for years with the concept of taking our unique brand of political activism more directly to the people of South Carolina – and this year we finally decided to take the plunge.
Last week our founding editor officially formed “Liber-TEA” – an entity that aims to educate residents of the [...]
Sic: I’m Starting A “PAC,” Too
… OR ONE OF THOSE SECRETIVE POLITICAL SLUSH FUNDS
By Will Folks || Last week two events transpired which are likely to have a tremendously negative impact on South Carolina politics. First, supporters of S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley had formed a political action committee. In fact they formed it eighteen months ago … just nobody found [...]
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 [...]
