Neck of the Woods
Having newscasters with the names of the likes of Laura Hand, Rod Wood, Dan Cummings, and Lisa Spitz, you’d wonder why I don’t pay more attention to local news…
But I do recommend the following stories:
- Smokers in Auburn bar fined
- Subdued victory for religious freedom
- Memorial Service for Spc. James D. Gudridge








Local news here is all Britney, all the time.
Hmm, me thinks Lisa Spitz and her cousin Courtney Swallows would make a fine anchor team.
Smoking in a bar? Next thing you know they’ll be arresting people for peeing in the toilet.
The interesting thing about the smoking bans is that people on the right like to claim that it is a solely liberal attack on their freedoms. However, living in the South and seeing these policies being put in place in South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama under republican leadership, it is obvious that it is coming from both sides. About a year ago, they were discussing the ban here in SC. I followed it on the local radio show, and trust me, the callers who were the most rabid anti-smokers were the ‘family values’ Christian evangelical types.
