Update: Mr. Webb has a personal scheduling conflict that I don’t want to talk about here. I am still very happily supporting him in his campaign, but we are not having the fundraiser on Sunday. Please consider trying to meet him at another event on his schedule (posted on his campaign website (http://www.webbforsenate.com/). Contributions are […]
Kudos to the local police in Maryland for foiling this domestic terrorism attempt. Wonder if George will elevate the threat condition to Orange or something to scare up some election support and/or distract us from Iraq, the budget, the environment, the fleecing of the taxpayers…
Erci and I finally got to hear Jim Webb speak in person at this morning’s Dulles Area Democrats breakfast session in Herndon at Amphora Diner. In person Webb is every bit as impressive as his many fans over at Raising Kaine have said. The great news is that both Harris Miller and Jim Webb will […]
There’s quite a lot of confusion over the issues of “Net Neutrality” versus “Hands Off The Internet” on the talk shows, news blogs, and a very confused mainstream media. Part of the problem is that both camps have chosen extremely poor names for their own causes. In case anyone is wondering I am wholeheartedly endorsing […]
James Webb and Harris Miller had their first televised debate down in Virginia Beach and WVEC (Channel 13) has it online here (it is choppy and slow, and their site is loaded with cookies/java/scripts, but eventually plays out the show). Many thanks to Virginia Centrist for pointing out the debate in his (or her) blog.
Last night my lovely wife and I visited the Sunday Supper Club to hear Harris Miller (who is seeking the Democratic nomination to run against George Allen this fall for U.S. Senate). As many of you know Harris Miller will have to face off against James Webb (former Secretary of the Navy during the Reagan […]
Erci and I attended the Judy Feder fundraiser over at Bruce and Beth Roemmelt‘s lovely home on Bull Run Mountain last night. We very much wanted to hear what Judy had to say about her campaign to become the U.S. Congress representative from Virginia’s 10th District. This was the first time we’ve heard her speak, […]
I used up about 20 seconds of my allotted 15 minutes of fame by getting on today’s “Net Neutrality” episode of the Kojo Nnamdi radio talk show. Kojo’s show was talking about the Net Neutrality movement, and I tried (unsuccessfully, I think) to point out that what we all call Net Neutrality is really an […]
Two weeks ago Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central fame was the guest satirist at the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner. President Bush was there also, and he took part in a funny skit with impersonator Steve Bridges. That skit was covered on every major network news channel. What those same networks did not cover […]
Erci and I plan to go hear three (at least) different candidates in May to find out who we are supporting in the Fall elections for US Congress and US Senate from Virginia. So here are a few opportunities we know about: May 12th – Judy Feder will be speaking at a small fund-raiser at […]
