    Of course, even when a story is about South Carolinians acting reasonable, one of them is named Dick Harpootlian.


    We just never win.


    On a brighter side, this Leon Lott character has been loathed by my family for years, so maybe now we'll get rid of him and replace him with another moron to make my home state look dumb.

    What were you people really expecting with Michael Phelps? Some fantasy in your mind?


    Perhaps like, it's a tough life moment... In a daydream you go back in time and you see young Michael Phelps, he says some reassuring thing to you, then you wake up from your drooling break at work? WAKE UP IDIOT.


    Perhaps a whimsical jester playing a flute?


    This guy is an animal. He wants food, sex and drugs. He doesn't give a shit unless it affects his supply of food, sex or drugs.

    Meanwhile, the Sheriff whistles the theme to "CHiPs" as he swaggers into work this morning, hi-fiving the deputies.

    According to Reason magazine:


    The Richland County, South Carolina Sheriff's Department...just obtained an armored personnel carrier, complete with a belt-fed, .50-cal turreted machine gun. Sheriff Leon Lott has charmingly named the vehicle "The Peacemaker," and insists that using a caliber of ammunition that even the U.S. military is reluctant to use against human targets (it's generally reserved for use against armored vehicles) will "save lives."

    Let me get this straight...these kids get locked up for a minuscule amount of weed, but Bernie Madoff rips off billions from everybody and still remains free? Brilliant.

    Well this gives people further license to resist the cops in this county. Unfortunately, they'll have to wait till Nov. 2010 to elect him out of office. I would personally like to see how this sheriff handles his personal and public finances. Maybe some aspiring journalism students from the university could look into it. For kicks, they could also ask around with his childhood friends for stories about his youthful indiscretions.

    @i'm a bottle: Childhood stories! I gots 'em! My mom went to high school with the douchebag, and he would smoke pot with her friends and then rat them out to the cops. No joke-- he was a narc even back then.

    I haven't smoked pot in more than a decade but I bet the cops could find that much here and there among my belongings. Shut up, South Carolina.

    Hey kids! Welcome to my (ACTUAL) hometown!


    Where have I lived since? Hawaii, where the cops smoke with you; LA, where a pharmacy card is as easy as filling out a sheet of paper; and Colorado, where possession is LEGAL.
