Fellow South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham supports earmarks and regularly requests them. (See a list of all 136 of his earmark requests for FY 2010 here.)  Senator Graham’s request for a $400,000 earmark for the Port of Charleston hasn’t been awarded—perhaps because of DeMint’s opposition to earmarks. Refusing to go along has a price. And in the article it’s a Republican operative who sinks the first shiv, suggesting that DeMint’s failure to earmark hurts South Carolina. “What you’re hearing [in the state...

One of the best all around performances I can remember in recent past.A storm rolled through Charleston about 15 minutes before the performance and I captured the following photos. Coincidence or not? Well the pot of gold at the end of FestivALL was the "Gold" Mountain Rebels.Jakob Dylan and the Gold Mountain Rebels were excellent as expected as the headliner. The Gold Mountain Rebels had a smooth tight sound that mixed well with Dylan's voice and lyrics.

Hehehe). But there are some interesting auditions, like that of Michelle and Jeffrey Lampkin (the first ones who appeared on the Youtube video embedded in this post). They performed a duet very well, although I’ve got to partially agree with Simon when he said that Jeffrey was a better singer than Michelle. But it may be perhaps Michelle’s voice didn’t just come out very prominently in the duet so as not to clash with Jeffrey’s voice. I think what they should have done is to have asked both of them to perform solo auditions, in addition to the duet. But, overall, I think they deserve a chance to go to Hollywood.
