‘Rose’ Preston
I found a woman artist named ‘Rose’. Jon Margaret Preston (1875 – 1963) was a well-known Australian artist. She was highly influential during the 1920s to 1940s for her modernist works as a painter and printmaker and for introducing Aboriginal motifs into contemporary art.

Patriotic American School of Economics
“On December 6, 1797, the State Legislator of South Carolina passed an Act that called for the building of a Canal that would make the Saluda River navigable as far as the Old Indian Boundary Line.

Rosamond Battles Cornwallis
Samuel Rosamond fought the forces of Lt. Gen. Charles Lord Cornwallis who believed Ninety-Six would be crucial to control of the backcountry once the British Army moved northward out of South Carolina. I have been called a “parasite” for lounging about at my computer recovering lost family history all day. Surely I am redeemable –…

Jesus is not God, thus there is no…

Walking The Moon Talk
Mitt Romney popped Newt’s Loony Balloon – and exposed the ancient Republican Plan 9 from Outerspace, which reads; “Promise them everything, and give them nothing!” Oops! I am reminded of several scenes from the movies ‘The Producers’ and ‘Plan 9 From Outerspace’ as we watched Newt and Romney plot together on how best to COOK…

Obama Dodges Witchy Finger
Governor Brewer came at the President of the United States floating five inches off the ground. Reaching out his hand to traditionally show her he was not crarying a weapon, suddenly, Brewer revealed her witchy nature – and came at Obama with a witchy finger. “There’s enough poison under my nail to curse a thousand…
