Ding, ting, ting, ding, ting, the sound echoes across the cold, wet parking lot pavement. A sound as familiar as Silent Night or Joy to the World, it’s the sound of the Salvation Army during Christmas. The night air is full of [...]

BOARD GRANTS NEW DEALS TO USC’S TOP 2 COACHES
Christmas came 11 days early for the University of South Carolina’s top two coaches, as the school’s Board of Trustees on Tuesday agreed to give contract extensions to head football coach Steve Spurrier and head basketball coach Darrin Horn.
Spurrier [...]
Since S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford was obviously omitted from his family’s Christmas card this year, we figured it was only appropriate that he get a word in edgewise this holiday season.
Accordingly, in collaboration (not) with the governor, we’ve prepared this special Christmas [...]
Talk about awkward timing …
A day after estranged S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford announced that she was divorcing her philandering husband, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford, the traditional Sanford family Christmas cards began arriving in select South Carolina mailboxes …
This year’s cards are not like [...]
Since government agencies apparently can’t say “Merry Christmas,” they send out cards saying “Happy Holidays” instead. Like this card from the S.C. Public Service Commission …

And as much as we’d love to be righteously indignant [...]
Without question, the two biggest morons running for public office in South Carolina right now are U.S. Rep. Henry Brown and his “Republican” primary opponent, Carroll A. Campbell III – a.k.a. the two “retarded RINOs” running in 2010 for the first congressional district.

We’re not big on social graces, people, but we do know what the inside of a Florence County, S.C. Christmas party looks like.
But surely our sources are wrong … surely that’s not S.C. Rep. Phillip Lowe getting down at one of these exclusive [...]
Quick … it’s 8:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Do you know what your husband is doing?
Is he eating Santa’s cookies? Hanging stockings by the chimney with care? Assembling something with lots of confusing plastic and metal parts?
Bzzzzzzz. Wrong.
If he’s a true college football fan, he’ll [...]
HOLIDAY SEASON OFFERS NO SIGN OF UNITY AT GOVERNOR’S MANSION
It’s been a painful, six-month whirlwind for South Carolina’s first family.
In June, Gov. Mark Sanford disappeared for five days and, when he returned, he admitted to an ongoing affair with a woman from Argentina. And ever since, both [...]
You may have noticed I'm not the most religious dude on the block, but that doesn't mean I'm not a fan of Christmas. This video, Christmas Can Can by Straight No Chaser, is a great way to dive into the Christmahannukwanza season.
Tiger said in his most recent posting that he is surprised at the amount of "tabloid scrutiny". He should have added creativity. OK it's a really bad photoshoped joke!
Since we’ll no doubt be enjoying Home Alone and Home Alone 2 as part of our annual 31-day “Christmas Moviefest,” it’s only natural that we should also take a moment to enjoy the woman that Macaulay Culkin – the franchise’s star – has been [...]
Christmas has come early for our founding editor, who has been waiting for months (literally) to ridicule whatever crappy postseason bowl game the University of South Carolina football team winds up being invited to this year.
Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl, anyone?
Nope. With its 7-5 record, even [...]
12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS WOULD COST $21,465
It will cost you a whole lot less to sing the “12 Days of Christmas” this holiday season than it will to buy all of the items in the song.
Philadelphia’s PNC Bank Monday released the “Christmas_price_index/" title="'12 days of Christmas'" [...]
