Because he was in the Senate for 48 years, it is easy to think that Strom Thurmond was always a senator. However, Senator Thurmond was 54 when he became a senator. Prior to that he had been Governor of South Carolina, a World War II combat veteran, a judge, a county attorney, farmer, coach, teacher, and the superintendent of education for Edgefield County, South Carolina. It is the last job that prompts this post.

Helpful Hint: Do not bite state troopers.
The Supreme Court of South Carolina has suspended South Carolina lawyer Michael DuPree. The suspension is the result of a fracas in which Mr. DuPree allegedly punched and bit a state trooper while Mr. DuPree was on vacation in Utah. The Charleston Post and Courier has the story.
According to the Post and Courier, Mr. DuPree was a passenger in a car pulled over by a state trooper near Park City, Utah shortly after midnight March 22. The car was allegedly driving 5 miles per hour over the posted speed limit and failing to stay in one lane. Some people I know call those two things “driving.” But they do not live in the Park City area.
