Link. You can't spell "Saslaw" without "A-S-S." Funny, just a couple of years ago, Virginia had a huge budget surplus. They wouldn't rebate the money back to the taxpayers, though, because we were told the state needed to have a "rainy day fund." Okay, the rainy day has arrived. What'd you do...

Exit Polls Big win in Virginia for Obama. Especially because he did very well among Hillary's base: latinos and women (caveat: latinos were only 5% of voters in VA, so maybe it's a small sample size?). But all the numbers are very encouraging for Obama. He won 59% of women overall, including...

Begun, the Christmas Wars have: http://www.wxii12.com/money/14661906/detail.html

A lot of posts on this in the Community Forum, so for details, click here. Good News: Hutch will be in Northern Virginia Sunday, April 29, and would like to get together with denizens of the DC/Baltimore area. Bad News: Anyone wanting to attend has to put up with me, since I'll be hosting at...

Resolution Passes Unanimously I, for one, happen to think this is a Good Thing. I've saved you the searching - the full text of the resolution can be found right around here. It is quite inclusive and unambiguous. It makes me happy. :)

Elec Companies and Ernesto: God bless Georgia Power, #### you Virginia ("Dominion") VEPCO, Virginia Power, Dominion.....they can rename themselves 100 times but to call their "management" a mere joke is quite the understatement. I have lived in other states which have gone through WAY worse...

United States v. Zacarias Moussaoui

Given the inroads that ID has made in many states and districts, I wondered if they had taken a shot at my old home state. I was dismayed when I saw this: Once I read the revision, though, I felt a bit better: I think that equates to a big 'ol "bugger off". This, too, for the tenth...

It seems to me that, as usual, they are doing nothing.

I'm waiting for the fund raisers for the families and the whole bit. Sure, these miners do an unglamorous job (and not an unglamorous job that has become glamorized for it's lack of glamour). Sure, the area is poor (and not the kind of poor that has become glamorized). Sure, the people there...

I'm a prehospital care provider in Virginia, and just recieved the course offerings for the Virginia Symposium, an annual conference offering classes on a number of EMS and medical topics. Much to my suprise, one of the topic offerings is "Is Prayer good medicine", a two hour class on the last...

Spyware is bad.... From the blog: A company that develops antispyware software believes it has found a massive identity theft ring that appears to be using the evil and persistent CoolWebSearch spyware program. Anyone who's been unfortunate enough to be infected with CoolWebSearch knows that...

Most Americans have heard of the following letter: http://www.barricksinsurance.com/virginia.html I read this letter long ago but never realized how pertinent it is to the entire concept of faith. Some sentences that stood out when I read it recently: Spot the fallacies, and the ironies...

Yes, Virginia, there really was a manger... Or, so, at least would the American populace polled by NEWSWEEK have us believe: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6650997/site/newsweek/?GT1=5936 I have very little idea of how a good poll is supposed to be designed, and how the poll issued by NEWSWEEK...

In this Fox News article, Virginia is painted as a surprise swing state in this year's presidential election. Johnson in 1964 was the last Democrat to win Virginia. Kerry could win all Gore's states, and add just one more swing state, like Ohio, Missouri, Louisiana, Arkansas or whatever to win...

Gays Flee Virginia Geez. That's an indicator species. Before long the entire ecosystem will collapse. You loose the gays, the bisexuals, then the straights...

http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0402/wv_ruling.html They lost on another relatively minor issue, but even there significant parts of it—such as the requirement that petitioners get in-person permission from the state to collect signatures—was overturned. This is just a start. More anti-freedom...
