Managing editor
Each day City Paper managing editor Chris Haire takes a hard look at the source of all ill in modern society — the media — in all of its diabolical forms. (Cue the menacing music. Fire up the lightning strikes. Where's a werewolf when you need a good howl? Hungover from a bender, perhaps.) This site is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended, especially those well-coiffed guys and gals on the tellie. (Truth be told, the site is actually a love letter to local media, but we've only adopted a down-with-the-MSM approach to appeal to talk radio tin-foil-hatters out there. Ruff ruff.)

February 14, 2008 – 8:50 am
There’s gators in these here parts. Perhaps you didn’t know that. And did you know that gators got big mouths with lots and lots of scary scary teeth? Yeah, I reckon you knew that too. But did you know that those gators got it in for you? (I’m guessing they never really got over being […]

WCBD-TV 2’s Jenny Fisher reports on the arrest of a Hollywood man accused of molesting three girls and abusing a boy. It’s pretty grim:
Social workers found the boy underfed, with burns on his body. News 2 stood in front of the home and said, “Court documents show that between the ages of 5 and 10 the […]

Former Sanford spokesman Will Folks weighs in on the latest campaign controversy — the whole “pimping out” Chelsea thing.
Hillary knows this guy wasn’t implying that her daugher was out working a Vegas streetcorner for campaign funds, and she knows most of you know that, too.
But there are plenty of stupid people out there, and plenty […]

WCBD-TV 2 reports that with the FBI may still be investigating the Orangeburg Massacre, which took place 40 years ago, and the source is none other than FBI chief Robert Mueller himself.

Every city worth a damn has panhandlers. Tourist cities even more. It’s just the way it works. But sometimes panhandling can go from a minor pain to the populus, both native and tourist, and become real problem, one that drives costumers away from a city’s retail and restaurant core. How do you know when you […]
The Dog Bowl (Feb. 7)

Yeah, it’s a crying shame that Cumberlands is gone, Grannie’s Goodies too. Want to know what might be taking their place? The Post and Courier has a pretty good idea.
Speaking of the above mentioned store, here’s a funny tale involving a disgruntled sales clerk, a woman who wouldn’t take no shiznit, and some much needed […]

February 6, 2008 – 1:30 pm
It’s sweeps month, so it should come as no surprise that nightly newscasts are practically bursting at the seams with salacious stories. The folks at WYFF, the leading news station in the Upstate, have decided that now is the time to inform parents about online sexual predators. And that’s well and good. But it’s kind […]
The Dog Bowl (Feb. 5-6)
February 6, 2008 – 9:07 am
All right. So the Daily Dog Bowl ain’t so daily. In my defense, it was press day and, well, I was pressed for time. I’m sure this will happen again. I’m a slacker at heart.
ABC News reports that some residents of Folly Beach are reporting strange encounters with homeless people. No, not romantic liaisons behind […]
The Daily Dog Bowl: A look at today’s top stories
February 4, 2008 – 8:31 am
Monday mornings generally offer pretty insubstantial fare for news junkies. And based on absolutely nothing more than a single one-time occurrence, I feel pretty confident to say that the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday has to be the worst. There’s nothing out there today. (And I checked The State, The Greenville News, and The Herald-Tribune. […]
The Daily Dog Bowl: A look at today’s top stories
February 3, 2008 – 12:41 pm
Americans have becoming stricken by a disease which affects their very perception of reality — namely, they view the tragic events that take place on a day to day basis as if those events themselves are contagious. Watch nearly any local nightly newscast and you’ll see it how folks view random tragedies like shark attacks […]
