Police Looking for Woman Who Forged Dead Woman’s Checks
Anticula Roxanne Hughley is on the run after being found using the checks of a dead woman. No one is sure how she got access to the dead woman’s personal belongings but I”ll assume that may be why she’s on the run.
From WISTV.com:
The West Columbia Police Department is seeking information on the whereabouts of a woman who is wanted for three counts of forgery. According to Chief Dennis Tyndall, warrants have been issued for 22-year-old Anticula Roxanne Hughley. Hughey’s last known address was in Greenville, S.C., but she is believed to be living in the Columbia area.
Tyndall said that Hughey wrote three checks on the account of a deceased 87-year-old woman. The woman, Candida Datnoff, had lived at the Jenni-Lynn retirement community located at 915 Hook Avenue in West Columbia until her death in April of 2010. Tyndall is unsure of how the suspect came into possession of Ms. Datnoff’s checks.
Police are asking that anyone with information concerning this case contact the West Columbia Police Department at 803-794-0721.
Anyone with additional information on the suspect or the crime is asked to call 888-CRIME-SC or go to www.sccrimestoppers.com to receive a cash reward for information leading to the conviction of the suspect.
I’m sure some of her friends in the area may know where she’s off to. Times are tight and there are harder ways to make a living than dropping dime.
Amazon Chased Out of South Carolina by Unholy Alliance of Corporations, Leftists and “Tea Party” Activists
And with them goes more than 1,200 full time jobs paying in excess of $30,000, plus hundreds of part time jobs. That’s at least $36,000,000 in economic activity we just waved goodbye to because Wal-Mart teamed up with leftists who want to institute an Internet sales tax to fund a bloated federal government. To do that, they created a group that attracted small businesses like Fiction Addiction which think nothing of demanding consumers be forced to pay more money for goods during a recession.
Remember, the charges that Amazon is “unfair” competition to places like Fiction Addiction, which is the supposed ax these commies are grinding, is based solely on the fact that Fiction Addiction has a non-competitive business model. The Amazon booksellers the Fiction Addiction owner thinks have an unfair advantage are, often enough, other bookstores or individuals who were smart enough to open a virtual storefront through Amazon rather than a brick and mortar shop on a busy road with no pedestrian traffic across the street from a Costco and near a motel that caters to hookers.
But I digress.
The South Carolina Alliance for Main Street Fairness is even now bragging about costing the state hundreds of jobs and at least $36,000,000 in economic activity. We have one of the worst unemployment rates in America and are in desperate need of jobs and they’re bragging about chasing away more than 1,200 full time jobs and an unknown number of part time jobs. And they did this because, supposedly in support of small business, they are seeking to collect taxes on online sales for each state involved in a transaction. Let’s think about that for a second.
I run a home business, and selling things on Amazon through my websites plays a role in that. Come tax time, I pay taxes on my income – so the state isn’t shorted any money. Because I’m an affiliate of Amazon I don’t ever actually stock any book or item I’ve sold, I just take a small commission from each sale. I imagine it would be even smaller once the buyer’s were being charged a tax from the state I’m in even if both the buyer and seller aren’t in South Carolina. The person who purchased the item – even if they’re in Florida – has to pay tax to South Carolina for the purchase. These taxes will add up to one amount – $0.
Because once all those taxes make buying things online more expensive I’d be out of business. The thousands of dollars of economic activity I generate would be replaced with the welfare checks I apply for when my small business goes bust. This entire movement is a scheme by Wal-Mart and Barnes an Noble to force you to shop there rather than having the opportunity to find better deals online, and more importantly it’s an attempt by these corporations and their supporters, along with small brick and mortar shops, to run their competition out of business through legislation rather than competition. That the people put out of business are stay at home moms, people who were laid off, and all the various people who turn to the Internet to supplement their incomes out of necessity doesn’t matter to them.
But I guess that’s “fair” according to places like Fiction Addiction and morons like Brad Warthen.
I was at the first Greenville Tea Party and I don’t remember the part of the platform where we were deciding that the government should tax Internet entrepreneurs out of business at the behest of special interests. My assumption here is that the term Tea Party is being used very loosely. But I do know that the leftist wet dream of making the Internet into an ATM for their bankrupt welfare state won’t work. It will impoverish thousands of Americans who make a living online and make consumers less able to afford the kinds of things Amazon sells. Ultimately it won’t save small businesses like Fiction Addiction, it’ll just give the owners the satisfaction of running some of their competition into the poorhouse before they end up there.
Sound fair? Maybe to some of you, but none could claim the loss of all those jobs is a good thing. More than 1,200 of you are not going to be working at decent paying jobs next year and there’s a number of people celebrating that fact. I for one will never shop at any of those businesses supporting this group again – including Fiction Addiction where I did in fact buy the occasional novel because I like supporting local businesses.
I didn’t know they were trying to ruin mine.
Feds Say Boeing “Retaliating” Against Unions by Making Smart Business Decisions
The Obama administration is attacking Boeing for opening a plant in South Carolina – it seems our business friendly atmosphere attracting corporations is actually just part of a conspiracy to stick it to those poor union workers who just want to make a fair wage and support a communist take over of America. Why won’t we just let them win?
Washington, DC — Federal labor regulators are accusing the Boeing Co. of putting one of its assembly lines for the new 787 in South Carolina to retaliate against union workers who went on strike in 2008.
Most 787s are being assembled in Washington state by members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
The union has claimed that a second assembly line was set up at a non-union plant in in North Charleston, S.C.
The National Labor Relations Board complaint filed on Wednesday quotes public statements by Boeing executives saying they put the plant in South Carolina in part to avoid future labor disruptions.
The government complaint says this amounts to discriminating based on union activity.
So the administration is saying that not wanting your business to be disrupted is discrimination. Think about that for a moment – the federal government is telling you that making smart decisions that keep your business from losing money and eventually failing is discriminating against the unions – whose activities are literally designed to make businesses less profitable and ultimately shutter them. In other words not letting some commies, I mean labor activists, destroy your business is discrimination.
Obama is trying to keep jobs out of South Carolina to appease the unions. What do all you Democrats say to that?

Elevated Radiation Levels Detected in South Carolina
From WRAL:
Raleigh, N.C. — Very low levels of radioactive Iodine 131 have been detected in the air throughout the U.S. as a result of nuclear leaks at the Fukushima plant in Japan, Progress Energy officials said Saturday.
Iodine 131 is a form of radiation typically released into the air by nuclear reactors.
Progress Energy spokesman Drew Elliot said very sensitive equipment at the utility’s Robinson and Crystal River nuclear plants, in South Carolina and Florida, respectively, detected iodine radiation in the atmosphere, but said it did not pose a health threat for U.S. residents.
The levels are still too low to affect anyone so it’s nothing to worry about … yet. But you do have some potassium iodate tablets just in case, right?
