I fully expected to hit Google this morning and find a lot of posts about Labor Day. Just as I was disappointed in the Pilot's lack of coverage, so was I disappointed in my search on Google. Heck, when I searched for images, most were of various events - parades, picnics, even a marriage proposal … Continue reading Labor Day 2006

Monday Morning Quarterback (on a Friday night)
What can I say about last night's final preseason game for the Washington Redskins? It was another disappointing loss. On some plays, it looked as if it was the beginning of training camp instead of the end. One bright spot: quarterback Todd Collins. His experience in Al Saunders' offense shows. With 12 years' experience, he … Continue reading Monday Morning Quarterback (on a Friday night)
The shrinking Virginia blogsphere
Virginia is losing two good people in the blogsphere. The Jaded JD is signing off today, supposedly at midnight but I am unable to access his blog as I write this. His final post as it appeared in the aggregator: If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. … Continue reading The shrinking Virginia blogsphere
Monday morning quarterback 8/28/06
OK, so somebody decided that Saturday night's Redskin game against the Patriots should be blacked out in my area. As the result, I didn't get to see the game. I didn't listen to it on the radio, either. But it seems that I didn't miss much, if this article is to be believed. 41-0 is … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback 8/28/06
Retail Alliance: Commonwealth Coalition partner
The front page of the Virginian-Pilot today contained a story about the business groups opposing the Marshall Newman amendment. Featured is Retail Alliance, located in Norfolk. Opponents of the amendment, which is on the ballot Nov. 7, say it could hamper businesses' ability to recruit and retain gay workers, and they worry that it could … Continue reading Retail Alliance: Commonwealth Coalition partner

Partisans PAC Fundraiser
Last year, the Virginia Partisans enthusiastically supported my candidacy for Treasurer. Their support was featured in the now infamous "flier incident" that was used to smear me during the campaign (the source of which was never determined). Like last year, I will be making the trip to Northern Virginia next week to participate in their … Continue reading Partisans PAC Fundraiser
CC Hampton Roads office opening
I attended the opening of the Hampton Roads office of the Commonwealth Coalition last night. In addition to supporters from throughout the region, campaign manager Claire Gastanaga was there, along with EV Executive Director Dyana Mason and CC Board Chairman Jay Squires. Amid the wine and cheese, we were reminded of the task we face … Continue reading CC Hampton Roads office opening
VA Beach finds $20 million
First Chesapeake found $14 million. Now it appears Virginia Beach has found $20 million. My recommendation is the same: give it back. You can't miss what you never had. Since the city didn't know the extra $20 million existed, just pretend it doesn't and return it to the taxpayers. Why is that so hard to … Continue reading VA Beach finds $20 million
New wedding registration: with the town!
There are all kinds of registries when folks get married, mostly surrounding the gifts you want folks to get for you, for example your china pattern, your crystal pattern and your silver pattern. Some people register with Home Depot or Lowes, hoping for some things they can really use 🙂 But who would have thought … Continue reading New wedding registration: with the town!
