Or rather: exactly like it was on that TV show they watched when they were a kid.

When I was <strike>doing hard time</strike> working temporarily on a project in Columbia,SC pretty much everyone I met began their conversations this way:

"You know, Sherman burned Columbia..." (accompanied by a gracious and welcoming smile)

After a few weeks of this, I began answering, "Sherman? General Sherman? Yeah, we have a statue of him at home (NYC) entirely coated in gold."

The obsession with the Waugh, together with the endless Jew jokes, did get me down after a while. OTOH, <i>excellent</i> mustard-based BBQ.

Maybe they'll also have a law allowing citizens' enforcement, with guns. So, watch out, USPS letter carriers in Charleston and whatever other "cities" are in South Carolina. Delivering that piece of mail from HHS might be a felony! Justice will be swift.

WTF is the matter w/these people?

Good point, looks like their existing uncompensated care fund would vanish along with Medicaid, and likely the Medically Indigent Assistance Program along with it.

Although, I would point out the services provided would be different. Instead of treating cancer, they'd be providing palliative care to dying patients. Instead of managing blood glucose levels, they'd be reviving people from ketoacidosis comas and amputating gangrenous feet.

Not sure the hospitals would be shrieking all that loudly, they don't make any profit off of Medicaid services; it's the state treasurer that'd be bursting eardrums.

Lynching is too good for them and South Carolina <i>knows</i> lynching.

I'm stuck at the Raleigh North Carolina airport for 3 hours and it is just too close to this kind of stupid for me to be sober. Can any NC Wonketteers out there recommend a good local beverage(s) I can get at the airport?
