The more I think about, the more sure I am that McCain’s choice of Palin for running mate clearly shows us all exactly how much thought he’ll put into future Supreme Court Justice nominations and cabinet nominations. Who would he pick for Secretary of Defense? Who would he pick for key ambassador positions to countries […]
It is astonishing that our Virginia Republican controlled House of Delegates is willing to continue to refuse compromise and block any sort of transportation relief for Virginians stuck in traffic. Perhaps they believe that voters will forget by November 2009 when they are up for election again… Heck, perhaps they are correct and voters will […]
There are so many, many ways Delegate Robert Marshall embarrasses the voters of the 13th district. He is usually in the running for sponsoring the most failed bills in each assembly session; that is bills that even his peers, who control the Virginia house of delegates by a wide margin, are embarrassed to let out […]
I have already contributed a small amount to “Byrne for Congress” to help her win the Democratic Nomination and the 11th congressional district of Virginia. The 11th will almost certainly go to the Democratic winner of the primary on June 10th. Incumbent Republican Tom Davis is retiring, so there is no incumbent advantage. The district […]
On June 10th, registered voters in Virginia’s 8th, 10th, and 11th United States Congressional districts will get to vote in open (to all registered voters) primary elections. Virginia scheduled primaries for all districts, but in all the other districts either no candidates filed in time, or only one did from each party, or the party […]
Some friends and I are concerned about some element of this being insensitive, perhaps the day-laborer stereotype; but I think that helps convey the point, and it adds irony in a sadistic way that the only person secure in their job is willing to work as a driver, and that says something about our Walmart […]
It was a bad year for a re-match. My favorite local candidates: Roemmelt, Rishell, and Pandak all lost to incumbents in effectively re-matched elections from one and two years ago. I am still trying to figure out why, because in all three cases the losing candidate is clearly and demonstrably more able, more likeable, and […]
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 […]
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 […]
Please Vote NO today I am a Prince William County resident, tax-payer, and voter. I am extremely concerned about today’s vote at the BOCS meeting. I am concerned about my taxes. 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 […]
