The state buries far more garbage than it produces and is reserving space for even more.
South Carolina last year buried 4.8 million tons of its own garbage and an additional 1.7 million tons of out-of-state garbage.
I know math is not my strong suit, but, that just doesn't sound right...
Ha ha! I just blogged about this exact story. (I live in Charleston, SC.) I had to look up our offical state motto, which turns out to be "Dum Spiro Spero" - translation: "While I breathe, I hope." Now, if we are in fact the nation's pay toilet, no one should be taking any deep breaths, so there's little hope.
The Recklinghausen lad was blasted out of the window of his bathroom from the fireball created by his dad's lighter which ignited the air freshener he had sprayed moments earlier.
Actually, South C'lina plagiarized their motto "Smiling faces, beautiful places" from South Dakota's "Great faces, great places." That was after a certain state that shall remain nameless (but if you want a hint, look in the About Miami Herald link at the very bottom of this page) ripped off South Dakota's "Sunshine State" nickname. And then Dakota-Bismarck wants to change their state name to simply Dakota. No wonder the people in South Dakota are like that.
Will Sen. Larry Craig run for office in South Carolina?

*warms up wood chipper for pogo*
It's quicker than hand-splitting infinitives.
