Thoughts on Election Day

I woke up this morning still exhausted from yesterday. (My day started at 4:30 AM and I fell in bed around 11:30 PM.) Since I was away from the computer all day, I've spent a little time catching up on what the blogsphere and MSM had to say about yesterday's results. First of all, congratulations … Continue reading Thoughts on Election Day →

Go out and vote

Tuesday we have an opportunity to exercise our right as citizens of the United States to vote. I think voting is not only a right, but a responsibility. The fact that so many choose not to participate for whatever reason saddens me. I will cast my vote for the persons who most closely represent my … Continue reading Go out and vote →

“I’m an American first”

At this morning's Webb rally, I spotted this sign. The young man holding it was the son of Thomas Miller. I wanted to know why this Republican was supporting Jim Webb so I asked him to send me something for my blog. Below is what he wrote.

Last night's rally for Phil Kellam was well attended. I'm not good at estimating crowd sizes so take my count with a grain of salt. I'd say there were 150-200 people there. Since the location for the rally was in the 87th House District, Delegate Paula Miller kicked off the festivities. A number of local … Continue reading Kellam Rally →

VP LTE: Legal lesson for voters

There was a local case where a pregnant woman killed her unborn child by intentionally shooting herself in the stomach. The woman was charged with illegally inducing an abortion; however, those charges were dismissed since the law applied to third parties, such as doctors. In today's Pilot, there is a letter to the editor that … Continue reading VP LTE: Legal lesson for voters →

What a finish! Redskins 22, Cowboys 19

I can't believe it! The Skins beat the Cowboys! Woot! Now, let's just hope that Extreme Mortman's prediction doesn't hold water 😉 After reading it this morning, I was having a hard time trying to figure out if I should be rooting for the Skins or not. Being a long-time fan, I couldn't bring myself … Continue reading What a finish! Redskins 22, Cowboys 19 →

Another NO vote

Add Jay Hughes to the list. Our Commonwealth has some of the lowest crime rates and lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Businesses flock to the Commonwealth because our schools and universities produce a robustly educated workforce. All of this is possible because Virginia families are already instilling decent morals and ethics in our children … Continue reading Another NO vote →
