Saddest State in the South?

South Carolina, of course! It’s been quite a busy year for the leaders of South Carolina. First, Governor Mark Sanford, who was supposed to be hiking the Appalachian Trail, was actually meeting his mistress in Argentina. On the taxpayer’s bill. Then Joe Wilson infamously shouted “You lie!” at the POTUS. Then some no-name state ASSISTANT Attorney General outdoes them both in a drugs-hooker-cemetery trifecta of awesomeness! Or sickness, depending on your point of view. Roland Corning was pulled over as he and an 18 year old ”employee of Platinum Plus Gentlemen’s Club” were leaving a local cemetery.

When the police searched his car:

The search revealed a sex enhancement drug and some sex toys. According to the report, Corning told [Officer] Wines he had a prescription for the medication and the other items were always in the car “just in case.” [The State]

Kudos on your candidness, sirrah! For that, we’ll just forget this incident ever happened. And if anyone asks, we’ll keep insisting that the POLICE OFFICER DID NOTHING WRONG. Wtf?? That is seriously in several different articles. Who was the dude having sex in the cemetery and running away from the police? CORNING. But let’s make sure everyone understands “there is no indication of any wrongdoing of the officer.” [The State]

And either the craziness is spreading, or this lady wants to get in on the South-of-the-border action. Congratulations, Virginia. You’ve spread the shame across both Carolinas.

8 killed in nursing home shooting

Sunday morning, Robert Stewart shot and killed 8 people in a North Carolina nursing home. Grandparents, people in wheelchairs! What a total fuckface. Seven of the people he killed were elderly patients, 1 was a nurse.

“He came in with a shotgun, a rifle and a couple other kinds of weapons and he just went around shooting people, people in wheelchairs and this type of thing,” Sen. Harris Blake of the North Carolina State Assembly said. “This could not be any more barbaric.” (ABC)

PS – ABC, you’re not a tabloid. “Carnage in Carthage” is a tacky headline.

Horror house

Good luck finding a buyer for this one.

Would you want to live in the house of a killer? With a back yard where an 8-month pregnant woman was found beaten and charred and buried in a shallow grave? A law firm in North Carolina wants to hear from you!

The (former) home of (former) Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean is being auctioned in his absence. He’s in Mexico, fighting extradition.

More gory details at Charlotte Observer.
