South Carolina

The state where the American Civil War officially erupted, South Carolina has been called "America's whoopee cushion" by John Stewart as an engine for scandal and dirty tricks. Further evidence comes in the form of a recent threat issued by Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley a press conference outside the S.C Department of Employment and Workforce: "I'm gonna push to make sure that if someone fails a drug test in this state, that we are not gonna pay benefits. That's something I'm gonna push for, I think people of this state deserve that. Personal responsibility matters and we're gonna continue to fight that fight." BIG SISTER Nicki wants to use the power of the state to punish those personal reccreational behaviors that she and fellow prudes disapprove. Obey.

Politics in South CarolinaEdit

According to the National Conferene of State Legislatures, in 2009 the South Carolina State legislature comes in dead last in gender parity among state legislatures. Only 10% of South Carolina state legislators are women. To get a lower figure you have to go to either the American Samoa Legislature or the Virgin Islands Legislature. Compare the South Carolina State Legislature with the Colorado State Legislature, which is 39% female.
