What do these two images have in common?


How about they are both going down and people are scrambling for the life rafts. The Orlando Sentinel had a report Sunday that highlighted the survival actions of Floridian Republicans. They are bailing and making sure everyone knows who was on the bridge for this one. Now complaining that there ain't a campaign as far as they can tell is one thing. But calling it "Dukakis-like," well that's just damn mean.

It's a...blog???


What are these two gentlemen up to? Why they're breaking ground for this new blog: Behind the Pine Curtain.
Why a blog? For those that know me, you know I talk too much and have a wealth of useless information in my head. I have decided that maybe my own blog would be a better way of dispensing with that useless information and my opinions, rather than through constant status updates on my Facebook page.
What's with the title? "Behind the Pine Curtain" is a phrase we use to explain to outsiders, what is going on here in Florence and the Pee Dee in general. In other words, it is used to explain all the machinations that take place out of sight. If you are not from here, often things make no sense. You've got to understand, shit's different here. It is a whole different world once you cross that Pine Curtain on I-20 (roughly the Bishopville exit).
So we'll see how this goes. Maybe it lasts, maybe it doesn't. I hope some will find it interesting. I hope none find it offensive. Now that I think about it, I just hope some find it, period.
Oh, well...enjoy
