What's With Greenville County, South Carolina

A few days ago I hadn't even heard of Greenville County, South Carolina. Now in the last week, we have this:

1. A chaotic response to a chemical release.


2. Ed Foulke, Chair of the Greenville County Republican Party is nominated to be director of federal OSHA.


3. A Greenville Technical College administrator who called Hurricane Katrina evacuees "yard apes" has been fired.

What's next, locusts?
