Ken's Garbage Can: Sexy Michelle Obama Picture

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:34:30 -0500

Another sexy Michelle Obama picture came across my computer today. So here it is next to a similar photo of Laura Bush. Talk about change. Change for CRAP! What a piece of garbage. She is not a good representative of successful women, or of this country. She should fire her assistant for [...]

Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell made several political appointments today, including the much anticipated “Jobs Creation Officer” proposed for Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling during the campaign. Bolling is set to become what McDonnell says is “the busiest Lieutenant Governor in America.”

The Virginian-Pilot editorial board has suddenly found spending it doesn’t like. It wants more taxes for more roads, it wants more taxes for colleges and universities, and I’m sure it would absolutely love to reimpose the full car tax.

But when it comes to executing murderers, the [...]

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:23:00 -0500

I keep hoping to see examples of an open and transparent council in Suffolk. Would anyone help explain why two of the agenda items for the December 16th work session will be held behind closed doors? Why is it important that the update on the Fairgrounds [...]

There’s a new book quiz out. But before I tell you what book I am, there’s an interesting disclaimer on the website: Just for the record, I really hope no one gets offended by any of this. At times, I try to add some humor into the world of books, and [...]

The Virginian: Be careful what you wish for.

As the majority of the country applauds Obama’s defense of a robust American foreign policy in Oslo, we should examine our assumptions.

I spend too much time at my computer. I stumbled on this insight when I realized I was checking the weather through my webcam pointed out the window behind my back. Never mind the computer obviating the need to get up to check a phone [...]

Brutally Honest: "No room for wonder"

Gerard Vanderleun, as only he is able:

Our past is a handful of ashes. It is beyond our gift to ever know the difference between an inspiring folk tale and the eyewitness accounts of something that, even today, would occupy the realm of the miraculous. For [...]
