The Monarch Butterfly Migration this year is supposed to be one of the most dramatic in living memory. I am not sure what factors go into making more Monarchs, but it is lovely to behold. I can’t get out to Cape May, NJ this weekend, but if you can you should try to. The sight […]
Please read this very thought provoking posting on Live Journal by someone called Brithistorian. Thanks to winterbadger for pointing it out. There is this swirl of a perfect storm of ideas coming into my head right now as I simultaneously read “Lies My Teacher Told Me” (particularly about the 50 year rise of racism in […]
The weather was so nice that I had to get out on my recumbent to canvass the neighborhood for the Commonwealth Coalition some more. It was a bittersweet day of canvassing. Friday, before heading to York, PA for a wedding I placed “popsicle” yard signs on my own property: one for Judy Feder, and one […]
Friday night Erci and I got into a caravan with Stacey, ‘Gelca, Mike, and Joan to head up to York, Pennsylvania for the weekend. We started out with a great Italian dinner at Domani in Ashburn; distributed FRS radios and headed for York via US 15, I-70, the Baltimore Betlway, then I-83. Some of us […]
This MySpace video is especially for all you folks out there who don’t bother voting. Wow – there are other videos on that site too, but I like the Dog’s Apathy one the best. Thanks to drmontoya of RaisingKaine for this link!
I’ve updated my non-partisan Virginia 2006 Election Information page at http://scottnolan.org/elections_2006.html with new information about Loudon and Fairfax County Bond issues and Ballot Questions. Please inform yourselves before you vote. I am still seeking information about State Ballot Question #3: Shall Section 6 of Article X of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to authorize […]
Wow. Keith Olbermann says how we feel so well that I think this is the best 10 minutes of video I have seen in 6+ years! An absolute must-see. Update: Jeffrey Feldman has a transcript and analysis online now, so if you don’t have broadband, at least read the stranscript.
Saturday I went out and canvassed for Judy Feder and Jim Webb. I worked with Ted, who is just coming back to activism from many years of hiding out because he was concerned that nothing makes a difference in a state as one-sided as Virginia has been. He’s a likable fellow, but I think the […]
I just realized it has been way too long since I last updated my journal/web log. Sorry about that, it has been because life has been full and fun and keeping me away from the computers. The two weeks after we came back from Mike and Joan’s wedding in Las Vegas have been crazy-insanely busy […]
Penn and Teller had a fabulous show on Showtime a few years back where they tackled various urban myths or controversial subjects and put the facts up on their shows. Sort of like Mythbusters, but less focused on gadgets and free to use profanity and nudity because it aired on Showtime instead of open Cable. […]
