Mark Sanford is no legal scholar when it comes to the Affordable Care Actnew
In an opinion piece published in Tuesday’s issue of The Post and Courier, Congressman Mark Sanford dedicated most of his column to a “constitutional issue” that he claims “really hasn’t been discussed” but that he thinks “provides legitimacy to the Republican House’s attempts to delay the implementation of [the Affordable Care Act]” by refusing to pass a budget and holding the entire federal government hostage.

Bikes to Books: A literary bike tournew
San Francisco is famous for many things, one of which is its vast literary legacy, a legacy that stretches back to its earliest days. On October 2, 1988, 12 small streets scattered throughout the city were renamed for famous authors and artists who had lived in San Francisco, as proposed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
25 years later, we’ve devised a bike tour and interactive, multi-layered map connecting all 12 streets and authors, from Jack London to Jack Kerouac, South Park to North Beach. The tour itself is admittedly not for the faint of heart nor gear—these streets were not named because of their proximity to bike lanes— and there’s plenty of traffic to dodge, hills, one-way streets, and even a set of stairs to climb, but it’s still a diverting and unique way to celebrate both the literary and the adventurous spirit of San Francisco. Takes between two and three hours from start to finish, and lands you right in front of two very important literary landmarks: City Lights Bookstore and Vesuvio Café!
