    Where's Eric Cantor?

    Number of comments: 1
    Eric Cantor was reportedly “unimpressed” by President Barack Obama’s speech today.  Perhaps the problem was all of the big words in it and the fancy, liberal  “ideas.” See, Cantor’s not big on ideas, not being able to come up with any himself.  He would apparently rather do nothing to stem the [...]

  • Loudoun County: Over The Line?

    Blacknell.net

    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 & [...]

    Barticles


    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 [...]

    Something to ponder from Barnie Day regarding the politics of Bill Bolling's higher profile:I think Bolling has a net in place, a net called in succession politics the “gennamum’s ‘greement.” It works like this: He and Cooch have already agreed that Cooch will seek a second term as AG, giving [...]

  • Oh, the Irony!

    Sun Versus Wind

    I was out at Ollies in Harrisonburg the other day and picked up a Package Shark Pro for a stocking stuffer.

    Here's a somewhat revealing list of who congressional and political insiders think is impressive, not so great and just plain awful.Interesting on the GOP side is that Bob McDonnell has impressed the insiders (though not surprising when looking at the list "insider" names).But these same insiders really dislike independent voices:What [...]
