News Roundup 2-20-13

1. Alan Wilson Has a Good Idea: Whenever someone is adjudicated mentally ill by an SC Court, SLED is put in the loop on that. Ummmm...we weren't doing that before?
2. Gas Prices are Going Up: The price of gasoline is going up, and The State is blaming "speculators".
3. Columbia City Water Prices Going up 8%: So water will cost more. Funny, I wonder why they aren't blaming the evil "water speculators". Also, it doesn't appear that we'll be getting 8% more water.

I'm not in an especially charitable mood today, so this is your blog for the day. If you have any problem with that: Judge Smails has my response.
