Seeding Spartanburg

Are y'all aware that I really like Spartanburg's Mayor? Well, I do. And I REALLY like Charleston Mayor Joe Riley too.  I am a sucker for a good mayor.

Dr. Stanley Fish's column in the NY Times is excellent: All you Need is Hate  and The Hillary Haters by Jason Horowitz in the January GQ [...]
