Here are the FDL Action health care reform highlights for Friday, December 11.
For some Friday night fun, I thought I'd throw out the famous Marx Brothers routine from "Monkey Business."
We have decided to keep an Open Thread up on the blog at all times so that people who have comments to make that don’t fit a Post topic, they will have a place to put it. So when the Open Thread starts rolling off, we will [...]
A few weeks ago I took some oil from my lawnmower to the recycle center just off I-66 in Fairfax. (Yes, my yard equipment has four-cycle engines, not those two-cycle oil-burning Trabi jobs.) The County authorities have put in a lot of money to repave [...]
The video speaks for itself.
Isn’t art supposed to imitate life? I watched that episode of Law and Order. The rhetoric sounded to me an ordinary day on at least one local blog. On the other hand, as you saw in the video, O’Reilly was named as one of the haters [...]
Tuesday, December 8, Creston Owen, chairman of the newly formed Virginia Civil War Events Inc. presented his organization’s plan to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of First Manassas. His organization, made up of volunteers, has a 9 day plan to draw tourism to the area. [...]
Long-time reader Kevin (of Toast fame) took one look at our previous Obama Nobel Speech word picture and spotted something horribly wrong with it. And I'll be honest, it totally escaped my mind.
So I've gone through and taken Obama's Nobel Speech again, from this [...]
Well, I suppose this was inevitable, wasn’t it? Someone has come up with a garden Noam Chomsky.
P.S.—You can also get Garden Oms:
I bet the folks who make those things have their own special gnomenclature. . . .
[...]Irving Berlin’s Let’s Face the Music and Dance? Has yielded much. How could it not?
There may be trouble ahead
But while there’s moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let’s face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill
And while we [...]
Wow, I don't think I ever saw this day coming.I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that' [...] I just got a copy of a note that Anthony Bedell sent to the FCRC Executive Board confirming some of the things we’ve been hearing. Here’s the text:

I am sure you have seen some recent speculation about me on the blogs. So let me be the [...]
After much ado about nothing from the climate change denialists, a new poll shows that a majority of the Americans sampled, believe Global Warming is real, and it is human caused.So I’ve been joking (sorta) about Northern Virginia seceding from the rest of Virginia since, oh, about a year after I moved to Arlington (this makes it many many years). In my original formulation, I was all about reconstituting the original DC – it was going to be Arlington & [...]
Troglopundit looks with envy at the number of readers Sarah Palin had on her Washington Post op-ed. Maybe she could write on his blog.
And so it came to pass that the Angel, Hope, received three children to light, to guard, to love and guide for almost eighty years. You see, there are many more people on Earth than there are angels to watch over them, so sometimes the angels are asked to protect [...]
Supervisor Pat Herrity took to the opinion page of the Connection Newspaper to issue a challenge to the Board of Supervisors: to make the “hard decisions” and reduce county spending, rather than take the easy way out by simply taking more money from Fairfax residents.

Says Herrity, “Simply put Fairfax [...]
Council members Team Dave Snyder and Nader Baroukh were forced on Friday afternoon to reveal their plans to hold a citywide referendum within the next sixty (60) days on whether or not to move local elections to November. A council resolution calling for an emergency advisory [...]
Circumstances beyond my control have led me to cut back severely on blogging over the past few weeks.
I hope to be back up to normal next week, although that probably won’t last for long since I usually take the last two weeks of December off completely.
My apologies to the [...]
Samantha Rucker, the GOP-endorsed candidate for Mason District School Board is having a fundraiser with Governor-Elect Bob McDonnell next friday!
Click here for more info. [...] In Soviet Communism’s heyday, thousands of dissidents were imprisoned in mental wards for the crime of questioning the totalitarian state. And there was a certain kind of logic to the punishment: After all, anyone who would risk having his whole family executed or sent to the gulag (which often amounted [...]
An hour ago, David Englin tweeted, "wonders how many others on this list learned about it first from the Washington Post, like I did?" Englin was referring to this article on the Virginia Politics blog, which lists Englin on Bob McDonnell's "Natural Resources" committee. I was surprised [...] 
I received this a bit earlier today from Senator Webb, who notes that he's not a "Born Fundraiser" and that this is his first fundraising letter in his "entire three years as a United States Senator." I also find it interesting that he uses the wording, "if I decide" [...] Lies of the Left:
Honestly, how can anyone believe these scumbag “scientists” executing the greatest hoax the world has ever seen. These people are pathetic!

Let’s see, if Bruce Tulloch had used his supervisor office to try to steer work towards himself and/or his buddies, how would Andrea McGimsey have reacted? Oh wait a minute, this isn’t a hypothetical question, becasue she DID say things like (from this Leesburg Today article):
“We need a person [...]
