September 17, 2007

TweetThe General Assembly will be going back into session soon, so I’ve been trying to get in as many things as possible back here at home before I have to start traveling to Harrisburg again.

MTV: Shangri La for the Stupid

September 11, 2007

TweetA couple of weeks ago, I posted the insane rambling answer that Miss Teen South Carolina, Caitlin Upton, gave at the Miss Teen USA Pageant.

The Bridge Prayer

August 22, 2007

Tweet I’ve been spending the day sorting through the 641 emails in my Inbox (that’s no exaggeration). I really enjoy directly communicating with constituents through email, even though I usually can’t share anything they have to say on this blog. I am going to make an exception for a poem written by a constituent of mine by [...]

Blaming it on the Rain

August 22, 2007

Tweet I’m finally back in some sort of normal routine, and now I can’t mow my lawn because it’s apparently going to rain every day for the next six months. It’s a real problem for my dog Cleo to walk through the overgrown grass to go to the bathroom because her little daschund legs are too [...]
