Some folks have nothing better to do than to make mountains out of molehills, especially when it comes to honest mistakes made by first-time candidates. Such is the case here. Bobby Mathieson's career in law enforcement spans 30 years - he served as a Virginia Beach police officer for 26 years, nine months, to be … Continue reading Keep on doing what you’re doing, Bobby

“Live passionately” ad may be short lived
In the comments section of the PilotOnline post I linked to yesterday about the new tourism slogan, I noticed that somebody said the ad campaign was using a gang symbol in it. Seems that poster was dead on. PilotOnline has an article about it: The gesture, a heart fashioned out of both thumbs and index … Continue reading “Live passionately” ad may be short lived
Bouchard can win
The drama of the "will he/won't he" run of 83rd House district Delegate Leo Wardup played out earlier this year, with the result being the latter. A shortened primary race between ultimate winner Chris Stolle and Carolyn Weems and the subsequent time off taken by Stolle has caused this race to kinda fly below the … Continue reading Bouchard can win
“Live passionately”
So says the Virginia Department of Tourism. "Live passionately" is part of the new slogan: " 'Virginia is for lovers' is our brand, and 'live passionately' is our call to action," she [Tamra Talmadge-Anderson, spokeswoman for the tourism unit] said. "They go hand in hand." Hmm. I don't know about this one. Your thoughts?

“Feet, don’t fail me now”
That's what the Daily Press said in its editorial Sunday on legislators and abuser fees: There does seem to be an evolving theme here: Feet, don't fail me now. The abuser fees got broad legislative support, but you wouldn't think so now. Some of the most strident abuser-fee supporters have spun 180 degrees to call … Continue reading “Feet, don’t fail me now”
Busy day
With travel to Richmond taking longer than normal, I headed out early this morning to participate with Waldo Jaquith in the bloggers' panel at the DPVA grassroots training. Greg Scanlon from the DPVA was the third member of the panel, with DPVA Executive Director Amy Reger serving as moderator. Mike from Blueweeds live-blogged the whole … Continue reading Busy day
VA Time Travel: African American History
As I have DirecTV, I don't know that the Cox Cable has a public access channel. If they did, it seems like shows like this one should be on it: This month's show deals with African American history in Alexandria, Virginia. The show has Audrey Davis and Carlton Funn Sr. discussing their respective organizations and … Continue reading VA Time Travel: African American History
Welch proposes changes to HRTA
The Virginian Pilot is reporting that Del. John Welch, a non-voting member of the Hampton Roads Transportation Authority and the General Assembly liason, is going to introduce a bill in the upcoming session to "to change the taxes and fees." Sounds a little like campaign season politicking to me. Welch, if you recall, said he … Continue reading Welch proposes changes to HRTA
