On of my favorite sites for fun browsing is UrbanPranksters.com. I was shocked and thrilled to see a Clemson Prank on the front page (it was a week or two ago so it is no longer front page). For those of you who don’t know Clemson was my Alma Mater. Although I would not technically classify this as a prank it is still great and a lot of effort. Plus it is just fun to see Clemson. So without further ado….

Looking good Clemson!

So I have been serving on Jury Duty this week for Pickins County, SC. One of the lawyers is a large man with a deep booming voice and strong southern accent who speaks in that old elegant southern lawyer talk. I commented last night that he reminded me of the lawyer in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Anyways on with the story … While sitting in the jury panel the guy next to me says "This guy would make a good lawyer in a movie, you know some southern lawyer in some small hick town somewhere in Georgia or Tennessee" I just looked at him but was screaming in my head "He is a lawyer is some small hick town, its your town, you live in Pickins County SC"!!"

I found it a pretty funny comment.

Bravo Gov, Bravo!

I have discussed this article with DRJ (who has commented on my other posts).

It is my understanding that Governor Sanford’s heavy use of vetoes and his latest shenanigans are in response to the legislator’s use of tack-ons to current legit bills. He is attempting to fulfill a promise and be a more fiscally responsible politician, imagine that. I find it noble and a strong stand to veto a bill that you proposed because the legislators tacked on special spending projects. I know that addons/tackons (whatever the correct term is) are very common and a fact of politics. However, I believe if something is worthy of tax payer funding then lets purpose it, vote on it, and pass it. Tack-ons always seem like they are trying to sneak something by. Thank you Sanford for attempting to bring accountability and trust into politics (at least in this instance ).

Pork, That is why I’m fed up, why aren’t you?
