Until We Meet Again

My New Year is off to an interesting start. In the past few months, there have been some losses,. I’ve lost some people I loved, some weight and I finished a quilt for my son that I started 7 years ago and I read some fantastic books. Monty DuPuy died in early December at the age of 85. I had the good fortune to work with Monty for nearly ten years in the 90’s. He was really something. A legend in these parts, Mr. Monty began his career as a radio man with the top-rated “Monty in the Morning Show.” But it was the TV Show “Monty’s Rascals” that was his true claim to fame.

Four More Years

A year ago I vowed to do everything I could to defeat Nikki Haley and I failed. To say I’m depressed barely covers it. Never underestimate the stupidity of the South Carolina electorate or their ability to make decisions contrary to their own best interests and the good of their state under the leadership of the Republican Party.

Voters of Greenville County Tell Koch Brothers to Butt Out of Tax Referendum

Our household received 2 robo calls, 1 live call and 3 mailings in the last few days from Citizens for Prosperity the Koch brothers funded political action committee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_for_Prosperity All of the calls and mail concerned the penny tax referendum in Greenville County to fund road improvements. CItizens for Prosperity wants to convince voters that the taxes collected won’t be used for road projects it will be redirected and their favorite argument taxes are already too high. The language of the referendum is crystal clear and has been clarified by the experts so that’s bunk. The real question to me is why two billionaires http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_family care enough about a penny sales tax referendum in little ole Greenville, SC to spend tens of thousands of dollars lobbying against it? The other curiosity is why South Carolinian’s known for their dogged dedication to doing things their own way damn the other 49 states would allow said billionaires to gain a foothold in our state’s political arena and steer the poltical conversation and affect the outcome of an issue on the ballot that will affect each and every one of us every day. I guaurantee you the Koch brothers won’t be driving on these pothold covered roads any time soon.
