We've had New York Magazine and New Republic, both bastions of mainstream leftist thought, assail President George H. W. Bush's record, character, and courage. But leave it to Slate, already known for its idiotic "Slate takes," to take it to a new level. Their writer, Ruth Graham, decided to attack President Bush's service dog, Sully, and those who are fawning over the dog.
Google Maps out Plan to Drive away Right
- By Tony Perkins
Google doesn't want to search the web's content -- it wants to control it. That's not news to conservatives, who've been the company's favorite target of political bias since before President Trump. We were told it was all in our imaginations, that Google would never manipulate its programs to promote one political view over another. Well, that'll be a lot harder for the company to say with a straight face now that its emails are public.

Secrecy Surrounds Incentives Info for Amazon HQ2 search, Other S.C. Projects
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The S.C. Department of Commerce says it didn’t formally offer any taxpayer-backed incentives to lure Amazon’s second national headquarters to the Palmetto State, but instead provided general incentives information to counties if any of them wanted to compete for the project.
Commerce spokeswoman Adrienne Fairwell told The Nerve on Tuesday she didn’t know if any counties directly pitched Seattle-based Amazon for its second headquarters. And she declined to release the “general summary of state and local incentives” provided by Commerce to counties for the project, contending the record is exempt under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act.
Greenville County Schools Is Now Able To Text Parents For Emergency Messages
- By Greenville County Schools
As the season for winter weather approaches and due to changes in telecommunications laws Greenville County Schools (GCS) is now able to text emergency messages to parents through the school messenger system if the listed home phone number is text capable. We have heard from parents that they prefer direct communication instead of social media or waiting for media announcements/scrolls. GCS does not send phone messages to families late at night or early in the morning, so a last-minute closing decision, especially one made early in the morning is sometimes missed. Texting parents provides a less intrusive way to send emergency messages during these hours.
