Confessions of a loyal Southern Charm fannew
I love Southern Charm. There, I said it. Reality television shows have the tendency to be either really good or really bad, with the majority falling into the latter category.

S.C.'s poorest residents support the education lottery to their collective detrimentnew
What if the S.C. General Assembly announced a new tax that would be paid primarily by the state's poor and minority citizens? And that the majority of the money raised would not be used to help failing schools or aid students from impoverished backgrounds, but instead be used to provide scholarships to college-bound high school seniors, regardless of their financial needs? To lessen the sting of such a seemingly unfair system of revenue collection, the payment of the tax would be 100 percent voluntary. How enthusiastic would the average South Carolina citizen be for such a plan? If you could rate that enthusiasm on scale of one to zero, I'd say zero, unless the plan also promised participants a one in a 100 million chance of becoming a millionaire.

Let's Stop Arguing About the Civil Warnew
Instead of rehashing our disagreements about how the Civil War started, we should ask if there are lessons that can be learned from the conflict that are still applicable today. Although the specific issues may have changed, several others are still relevant.

Robert Ford Takes a Step Forward for African Americansnew
While the conventional wisdom may be to dismiss Sen. Robert Ford's candidacy for South Carolina governor as some sort of publicity stunt, the surrealism of the recent inauguration has prompted me to view it as something different, the latest best chance to get more black South Carolinians engaged in state politics.
