Cibby with a Letter to the Editor re: The Fed

Here’s the link to Cibby’s letter: I keep reading that one fraction of the U.S. blames a president for the economic mess, another attributes it to Wall Street, and yet more wish to hang the corporations, or the unions, etc. To simply look around today’s world for the cause of our woes is more than [...]

Tim Scott to Host Rick Santorum Town Hall

Sometimes the Spartanburg Herald Journal prints the most unvetted, absurd stuff. In today’s Letters to the Editor, Mayor June White is called a Tea Party Republican. Can’t make this stuff up.
