The Appalachian Trail Runs Through South Carolina
A South Carolina blogger and former spokesman for Mark Sanford alleges that he had an affair with Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley while she was married.
Red And Blue Families
I keep stumbling across articles on Naomi Cahn and June Carbone’s new book, Red Families v. Blue Families: Legal Polarization and the Creation of Culture. I will be picking it up today. I’m not trying to score points in this post – although points will be scored. I’d rather discuss the disconnect between Red and […]
Let’s Discuss Ruth Ann Minner
The NJ published a report showing that Minner gave a good real estate deal to one of her top donors, Christopher Tignani.
Chicken Suits Banned At Nevada Polling Places
I doubt this is an issue that the election commission in Nevada ever thought they’d have to deal with. Voters dressed in chicken costumes will not be allowed inside Nevada polling places this year, the AP reports. State election officials added chicken suits to the list of banned items after weeks of ridicule directed at […]
They’re Sorry Now!
Arizona passed their law requiring immigrants to prove their legal status and apparently lots of undocumented workers went home rather than live the risk of being caught or even the hassle.

The Oxymoronic Citizen Journalism — This is an insightful case for the continued professionalism of the news
Sunday Rand Paul — What’s Going On
Bet this guy is topic number one of most of the Sunday yak shows. If anything good happens or gets said, let us know here. Check out this fantastic video first, though:
I Wish They All Could Be California Text Books
A California state senator has submitted legislation that would not allow newly approved Texas social studies text books in the Golden State. The senator said: “While some Texas politicians may want to set their educational standards back 50 years, California should not be subject to their backward curriculum changes. The alterations and fallacies made by […]
Weekend Foodie Thread
There’s a reason I don’t post our daily Open Thread. My last “Weekend Foodie Thread” was in December! But since Spring has sprung, fresh veggies have returned and grills are being fired up I’m feeling inspired. And… I was asked about why I haven’t posted on this at the last Drinking Liberally! Let’s start with […]
