As fate would have it I was in Charleston, S.C. on Tuesday afternoon for a series of meetings and – against my better judgment – decided to stick around to cover yesterday evening’s big first congressional district election.
As the entire country knows by now, what was supposed to be a close race in the Palmetto [...]

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
For those of you who missed it, The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper ran a big story this week on Nancy Mace – who has been a part of the FITS family for the last five years. The story explores Mace’s interest in a possible bid for the U.S. Senate against left-leaning “Republican” Lindsey Graham.

Will Folks, Narcissistic Sociopath
My name is Will Folks and I’m a narcissistic sociopath … or so say the headlines.
And I’m fine with that … I’ve got a big ego, obviously. And I like to have that ego (and other big things of mine) stroked. Repeatedly. Expertly. And to completion.
But the Macphisto-esque “Sic Willie” caricature who authors/ adorns the [...]
Nancy Mace In Negotiations With FITS
We try to keep “programming notes” to a minimum around here, but given the recent buzz surrounding a member of the FITS family we felt it was important to keep our readers in the loop.
Nancy Mace – a co-owner of FITSNews, Inc. – has entered into negotiations to sell her share of the business. For the [...]
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.

Sic Headed To Slammer?
For those of you used to the usual incessant barrage of content from our website, we apologize for the dearth of fresh news today.

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 [...]
