If Henry McMaster was really concerned that no one profit from sex, he would stop hassling Craigslist and he’d have the state Legislature ban alimony.

What’s up with Newt Gingrich poking his head out? I thought he was dead.

This is a rant to all the politicians of this state: God doesn’t care if I buy a plunger before 1:30 p.m. on a Sunday. Everyone who drinks knows where the liquor store is, even if it only has three red dots on the sign. And WTF is Confederate [Memorial] Day and who cares? Stop catering to these backwoods hillbillies so the rest of us don’t have to feel embarrassed when we have to tell someone we live in South Carolina!

Hey, this is for the complete morons, Democrats and Republicans alike, who sit on the fence and sling crap at each other. Grow up and become a Libertarian, so we have a chance to experience freedom in this country.

To the slightly intoxicated lesbians (May 6) once more, I am sorry I made a rant about you girls (May 13)!! I misread the rave! I thought it was something bad, but really it was a compliment! Please forgive me.

Did Heidi Thomas really just refer to the Terminator franchise as a “cult classic” (Summer Guide, May 20)? It only revolutionized special effects, grossed over one billion dollars worldwide, introduced the mainstream to James Cameron, and at the time WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MOVIE EVER MADE! Evil Dead is cult classic. Terminator is big-budget Hollywood exemplified.

Hey, I’m looking at the May 20 back page: Who the hell is Larry Slaughter?

It has come to my attention that [some] people don’t understand that HVAC professionals have put time into their profession and take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of their work. They don’t see the value in hiring a professional, thereby paying the right price to get the job done correctly. Ask yourself this question: If you had to go to the hospital because you needed heart surgery, what would you do? Would you let the heart surgeon do what he is trained to do, and utilize his specialized skill, knowledge and vast experience, or would you hire the Mr. Fixit jackleg to patch it on up for you? Hey, it’ll be cheaper, right?

This is to you, whoever does the cover. The May 20 issue: Nice body, but there is some major leg hair on that chick.

Hey Christians (Sound Off, “Smite Thy Enemies,” May 13): “Love thy neighbor” is not Bible code for “water-board thy neighbor.”

With all this talk of black and white people, no one even bothers to mention the Native Americans. They were the worst treated group of people in the United States. I mean they pretty much went through ethnic cleansing. The African-Americans still have their culture. My tribe was so dispersed after the white man came to America half of my tribe doesn’t even remember their traditions. So I ask you, what about the Native Americans? What the hell is the government going to do to help them recover from centuries of mistreatment?

I totally agree with the May 13 rant [about] Rock 93.5. The worst is their S&M Morning Show. Then, they replay their conversations through out the day like they were funny or something? If you want to hear good rock stations, drive to Charleston.

Yes, you [Rant & Rave readers] are the ones who told me about MILFs. What I’d like to know now is what is/are snus? Thanks, and I enjoy your paper.

This rant is to the guy complaining about people buying lottery tickets in front of him (May 20). You’re one of those people that think that your time is more important than anyone else’s. Lottery tickets have nothing to do with it. Your attitude does. What difference does it make if it’s lottery tickets or cigarettes or whatever. You’re just one of these a#!wipes who think you’re the most important in the world. You need to get a life.

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending our son’s basic training graduation on May 15. Our boy was just happy to get off-post and we found ourselves at Applebee’s for a late lunch. While seated and enjoying lunch, a young man stopped by to say thanks and offer his encouragement for my son’s service to our country. As we prepared to leave and get our bill, a waitress approached us and said the man had paid for our son’s lunch. We just wanted to say “thanks” ourselves to all the fine, patriotic folk in the Columbia area and especially to this man for his generous act.

This is to the f#!king a#!hole I was obsessed with for three years and stood by through his alcoholism and drug addiction only to find out I was the last person to find out that he was gay and that it was the worst-kept secret in [REDACTED] and that he was running off to [REDACTED] for anonymous gay hookups. Why don’t you just come out of the closet? I just wanted to be happy.

This is to the hussy that sent me to jail, then puts the [rant] in the paper saying how she took care of me and that I was an a#!hole afterwards (May 13). That’s all right. She took care of me with my money. I moved in with her in her house, she quits her job two weeks later, and then she wants to talk trash about me. What a sick hussy. Lord, have mercy. I’ve never in my life seen such a deadbeat woman that wants to use somebody because they’re too lazy to work. It’s a pitiful thing.

Give fat guys a chance.
