South Carolina Edges Oklahoma to Top BCS Standings

[Are_grits_groceries]

In a surprise to many, South Carolina narrowly topped Oklahoma in the first BCS standings released this week. Not, that is, in college football's Bowl Championship Series, but in the Battle of Crazy States.

Oklahoma dropped to the #2 spot after a late South Carolina rally led by two Palmetto State GOP county chairmen who turned to anti-Semitic stereotypes to praise Senator Jim Demint. In their letter Sunday, Bamberg County's Edwin Merwin and James Ulmer of Orangeburg rushed to defend Demint from charges he didn't bring home the bacon by slandering those who don't eat it at all:

There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy got that way not by watching dollars, but instead by taking care of the pennies and the dollars taking care of themselves. By not using earmarks to fund projects for South Carolina and instead using actual bills, DeMint is watching our nation's pennies and trying to preserve our country's wealth and our economy's viability to give all an opportunity to succeed.

For his part, Senator Demint (who has repeatedly promised to manufacture Obama's "Waterloo") called the op-ed "thoughtless and hurtful."

But for sheer political dementia, Oklahoma remains a powerful contender. Already one of the few states which sought to mandate ultrasound procedures for women seeking an abortion, a new law in the Sooner State will require clinics to collect and publish patients' personal details beginning November 1st. As Fox News reported, the Statistical Reporting of Abortions Act will trample privacy rights and intimidate women by compelling:

The Oklahoma Department of Health to publish data online on all abortion patients -- including the woman's race, marital status, financial circumstances, years of education, number of previous pregnancies, and her reason for seeking the abortion. Doctors who fail to provide such information will be criminally penalized and stripped of their medical licenses.

UPDATE: South Carolina pads its lead, with word last week from The Post and Courier that the White House is wary of having First Lady Michelle Obama travel to the Palmetto State.

3. Love it!

In the "Battle of Crazy States" Mitch McConnell would surely give Kentucky pretty good position in the SEC; but then the SEC is ALWAYS just loaded with the soon-to-be first round draft picks of crazy.

5. Not much to worry about from Oklahoma.

We haven't won the BCS in years.
