Josh Marshall says it quite succinctly on Talking Points Memo: Only one party has a nationwide campaign to deliver millions of intentionally-harassing calls disguised to appear that they’re from the opposite party. That party is the Republican party. And the calls are funded by the NRCC — the House GOP election committee. It’s the party […]
This last weekend before the election we should all be getting voters to commit to going to the polls or voting absentee, and I certainly have been doing that and will continue, but only after a short break from politics. My wife and I are sporadically celebrating 14 years of adventure together (yes, sweetheart, I […]
Cory Capron has a very lucid examination of the terminology being used by both proponents and opponents of the Marshall/Newman amendment. The terms he examines are bigotry (often cited by opponents) and polygamy (often cited by proponents). Cory’s sets aside all emotion and examines the terms and tries to find logic supporting or opposing either […]
Last night, Erci and I went down to a firestation off Yates Ford Road to attending training for how to be an election officer on election day. We’ve decided to help the county run the election this year. Every year pretty much every county in the state is short-handed for volunteers to work the election. […]
Devin writes about how voting sucks, and he has a point. Many aspects of our democracy cry for massive improvement. I get that people are pissed off with their so-called leaders in government. I agree that the currect collection of buffoons needs to be replaced. So how do we create change if we care? I […]
This clip is so good and so sharp that I doubt the usual campaigns are behind it. Simply awesome! Hat tip to Todd Smyth for the link.
Howard is a very good friend of mine and he is going through some challenges establishing his Massage Therapy business in Manassas. Turns out bigotry has reared it’s ugly head in old town Manassas. He made the the news, first in the Manassas City Journal, and now the Washington Post. Sadly the Post’s article (Monday, […]
The time is right, the choice is right, it’s an easy decision to make: Wes Clark for President. Clark is totally focused on helping the right people win their Senate and Congress seats this year, and he is not promoting himself, except through his actions for others. He understands the priorities and throws himself into […]
Craig has started an interesting discussion about the legality and ethics of those campaign signs that popup every year (sometimes twice a year for primary elections) and always seem to take too long after an election to disappear. He cited the portions of the state legal code (33.1-369) that apply here in Virginia, we think… […]
I just got back from a fundraiser for Sharon Pandak hosted by Beth and Bruce Roemmelt. Food was very good, the people were awesome, Sam (the Airedale Terrier) was his usual curious self, and Sharon spoke eloquently about the issues she expects the board of county supervisors will face. The Washington Post got it right; […]
