May 2008: the month in review
It's been a busy month in the Blogland. With graduate school over and eight years in academia fading into the rear view mirror, we actually had time to get a life.
Instead, we spent more time writing.
As always, we're flattered that of all the things you could have done, you decided to come into the Blogland and hang out with us for a little while. To help show our appreciation for your readership, around the first week of every month, we like take a little time out from our own huffing and puffing to talk about what YOU read and talked about.
There was certainly a lot of good things to celebrate this month: getting that Master's degree, the election of Glenn McCall as the new National Committeeman from South Carolina, and seeing two of our friends getting selected to go to the GOP national convention this summer. They will join Moye Graham, who we helped get elected at the 6th District convo a few weeks back.
But not all news was good. We took time to mark the loss of Orangeburg County Deputy William Howell in the line of duty, and in a sick turn of events, some of his friends happened upon our comments and spoke up in his defense and even put down the officer he killed.
Our Shat-slinging contest with Mike Reino continued. While Mike could take a joke, it seemed as if Lee Bright, a Spartanburg Senate candidate couldn't.
Meanwhile in the State House, our "pet" legislative bill of the year - Representative Erickson's bill protecting students who transfer high schools out of fear of harm from losing their right to participate in extracurricular teams - made great leaps forward in the Senate. The bill now moves on to the full Senate, with our thanks for those who've supported it thus far.
This month's ten most-read postings:
1) Senate upsets in the making?
2) The Summerville Senate Slugfest
3) Campaign season bloopers
4) "He was a cop, that's just a job"
5) Graduation party report
6) Support Glenn McCall – our proven Republican leader
7) Huckabee endorses McCall for SCGOP National Committeeman
8) The Blogland Graduation Party:This Saturday - don't miss it!
9) Is the GOP relevant in 2008?
10) Inside Interview: Scarlett Wilson, 9th Circuit Solicitor candidate
This month's ten most-discussed postings:
1) Deputy William Howell - Thank you
2) Graduation party report
3) 3 great national delegates: McAbee, Pearson, and Ryggs
4) Senate upsets in the making?
5) Erickson, Ceips turn on St. Helena's Island traffic signals
6) John Land to address the Blogland and CofC Graduat...
7) Support Glenn McCall – our proven Republican leader
8) The Summerville Senate Slugfest
9) May is Safe Digging Month
10) Glenn McCall wins landslide - SCGOP convo recap
June will be a pretty busy month here. We've got a great career development mini-series which will draw on our professional HR experience, some concert news, album reviews, and probably some books as well.
That is when we're not trying to catch up on about a year's worth of backed up house and yard work.
Thanks for tuning in and be sure to stay tuned to the Blogland.
