I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820

I got all of them that I could remember how to spell.
I got them all.
Oops, I missed Pennsylvania.
Hi Tom Hall, it’s another Tom Hall. I live in Purcellville, Va. Anyway, I got all 50 in less than five minutes, alphabetically no less, because of a song I learned as a teen-ager: “Fifty Nifty United States.” It still helps me when I have to put lists of states in order.
I somehow managed to miss Nebraska, Vermont, and Wyoming, even though I kept seeing images of cowboys and verdant mountains. Oh well, I had surgery last weekend and managed to forget my home telephone number yesterday when making a medical appointment. Maybe I’m still loopy.
I got all 49. I was under the impression that Nebraska had seceded.
I forgot Minnesota and Missouri.
all in 4:50
4:40!
Andre – aren’t you in Brazil? And you got 49? Wow.
I’ll bet those getting all of them (or nearly all) are a wee bit younger than I
I had 5 left to go with 7 minutes still on the clock when my phone rang with a business call that took 7 minutes 30 seconds.
Also how come Mass. has to be so hard to spell?
Tom Hall 2, I learned the same song in 3rd grade
Got them all with 3 minutes to spare
although I had to look up the bloody spelling of “Massachusetts” XD
48 with three minutes left-easily could have cheated but I left out red staters of Wyoming and Nebraska. does that really count. Do they really count
well.. I got the all with about 2 minutes left… took me 5 whole minutes to remember new jersey…
but.. nifty fifty united states? never heard of it..and then I pulled in up on you Tube.
I could never remember that song.. if my life depended on it… geeze…
I’ll be honest…I missed 5. Those midwest states just wouldn’t come to me. I missed Indiana (sorry John Mellencamp), Iowa (the corny state), Kansas (sorry Dorothy & Toto), Wisconsin (the cheesy state), Missouri (the flooding state ?).
