Head over to Blogging the Amendment for some updates. The Arlington County Board and the Falls Church City Council have joined the chorus of those who see this amendment as going too far, writing discrimination into the Bill of Rights. They are urging their constituents to VoteNO on Ballot Question #1. I applaud these communities … Continue reading Amendment news

An Open Letter to the Virginia Blogosphere
As two black bloggers in the Virginia political blogsphere, we bring a unique perspective to the conversation regarding race that swirls around us. Each of our families have been in Virginia for more than 150 years, so we are well acquainted with the both with Virginia’s sordid past and its slow, steady move towards inclusion … Continue reading An Open Letter to the Virginia Blogosphere
Ugly, ain’t it?
If you are seeing this blog looking, well, quite ugly this morning, don't blame it on me. The folks here at WordPress.com are working on it. In the meantime, everything still works.

Monday morning quarterback in the evening
How about those Redskins? Yes! Finally a win. Over the lowly Texans but hey, I'll take it 😉 Brunell looked like an All-Pro quarterback yesterday. He set the record for consecutive completions in a game, with 22 in a row. I actually missed almost the entire first half (long church service yesterday) but what I … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback in the evening
That’s Paige, with an “i”
A little thing, I know. But annoying nonetheless. My last name gets misspelled so often. Heck, it's even misspelled on my birth certificate 😦 But trust me, it's Paige, with an "i." My passport has it right. My driver's license, too. (My middle name is misspelled on my driver's license, though.) My social security card … Continue reading That’s Paige, with an “i”

I attended the previously mentioned Marshall Newman amendment rally this afternoon at Mt. Trashmore. While the group was small, it was enthusiastic. I got there a bit late so I missed the speech given about the impact of the amendment on domestic violence. I did get there in time to participate in the holding up … Continue reading Marshall Newman amendment rally

Kenton has a video up of the event held at Gunston Hall. Great job, Kenton! And now I see why everybody thinks Delegate David Englin is a rock star. It is because he is a rock star! Hear him speak about Virginia values - and why if you believe in them, you should Vote NO! … Continue reading Marshall Newman around the ‘net

Monday Morning Quarterback: 0-2
What can I say? The Washington Redskins played horribly in last night's 27-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Conventional wisdom used to be that defenses are ahead of offenses early in the season. Combine that with the new offensive scheme, I expected the Skins defense to have to carry the team, at least for a … Continue reading Monday Morning Quarterback: 0-2
