If you live and vote in Loudon county tomorrow – please consider writing in “John Flannery” for the office of Commonwealth Attorney for Loudon County. Earlier it looked like no one could challenge incumbent Jim Plowman, but CA Plowman has done a very unethical thing that has brought to light that he may be corrupt […]

Sorry for being quiet on this forum for several days, a major life-change decision was brewing and I needed to mull it over and remain quiet until I’d notified my boss and was sure of things. I can finally publicly state that I have given informal notice to my employer almost 13 years that I […]
I woke up to Newschannel 8 this morning with a start when I heard the words “Bull Run Mountain” in the same story with some sort of crime. I was too foggy headed at first, but that work me up because I live on Bull Run Mountain, so this story is very local. Once I […]

I am concerned about unfunded obligations. I am concerned about racial profiling. I am concerned that we are cutting off our county’s opportunities for […]
Well – this evening sucks. I am hearing from people who are getting the “mandatory meeting at 9:30 tomorrow” emails and our assumption is that they are getting cut tomorrow. The scary thing is that many people in that list are absolutely critical and very much needed to get the job done. A second group […]
Hat tip to Howling Latina for pointing out this article in the Washington Post: Post Editorial about this election This election is perhaps the most important election to Northern Virginians in 15 years.
