American Idol Results 04/15/09
Tuesday’s show was strange for me. Most of the performances, I thought, were subpar. Heading into the results show, I figured just about anyone (except Allison) could end up in the bottom three. The first contestant in the bottom three was — once again — Anoop. I think this kid has an awesome voice but … Continue reading
Shad Planking quickie
I got videos of all three gubernatorial candidates in attendance. Once they get converted, I’ll post them. It was chilly but the rain managed to hold off for most of the event. I got the chance to speak briefly with a number of electeds and candidates, including Brian Moran, Bob McDonnell, Jon Bowerbank, Jody Wagner, … Continue reading
American Idol 04/14/09: music of the movies
Tuesday evening, American Idol’s top seven sang music from movies. The contestants were assisted by legendary director Quentin Tarantino. Because the show ran over last week, they changed the way the judges offered their comments. Instead of hearing from all four judges, each performer only heard from two. Kicking things off was 16-year old Allison, … Continue reading

Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk used data from Jan. 1, 2008, through Dec. 31 – six months later than Norfolk. Virginia Beach cuts off sales the … Continue reading

Friday afternoon: Something’s gotta give
Only as Ella can do it (the song starts at about the 2:25 mark) Something’s gotta give: either move the tax season filing deadline or move Easter. Right now, I’m not sure I care which one.
Moran news
The secret weapon I attended a Women for Moran event yesterday, with special guest Karyn Moran. (Yes, there were some guys there, too.) This was the first time I’ve heard her speak. I’m not easily impressed – but Karyn was awesome. She is a tremendous representative for Brian, with a command of the issues not … Continue reading
