Loudoun County Republicans were extremely fortunate to have the services of an amazing individual like Glen Caroline the last two years as Chairman. His leadership was recognized statewide when he won the Unit Leader of the Year Award from RPV. Glen truly united the LCRC (except for a few diehard [...]
I just put up his latest spot-on press release in the Marsden thread below, and then I get an email from him to all press types announcing that his last day at RPV is today! He is going to the Republican Governors Association, and they will indeed be lucky to have [...]

Did anyone else see 60 Minutes on Sunday? I was deeply moved by the segment on Bartholomew, the Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church (the part about the ancient churches of Cappadocia was incredible!). He has a lot of Pope John Paul likable personability about him, [...]
I missed writing about this mess when it first happened, but it’s back in the news now that some rather interesting displays will go up alongside the traditional cheery holiday scenes. I think the ACLU types have gone a bit too far with this. So much for any [...]
Another reason to be sad that Glen Caroline is not running for re-election – a contested Chairmanship race between the new inclusive and focused LCRC and the old style divisive and exclusionary LCRC. I knew about Mark Sell’s announcement days ago but did not feel like giving it any credence by [...]

But thank God Loudoun County will be a leader in the reduction of greenhouse gases! When are the inspectors coming to check my thermostat level, anyway?
[...]Take a look at this graph below from the recent budget presentation showing the growing debt service payments required in the coming years. As Lee J said in a post below, Miller is already saying taxes will go up. So what the heck, let’s just saddle the taxpayers with anticipated madatory [...]
So the energy plan abomination is rushed through on a 5-4 vote. The whole 182 page thing, complete with commercial advertisements (can someone sue to get them out?). Just like with the Journey Through Hallowed Ground abomination, the full process isn’t needed when it’s for the right people. And obvious [...]
Conflicts? Insider Deals? Hypocritical? Naaahhh, That Can’t Be Me Because I Am SO GREEN!

So I hear she is all in a tizzy about the recent blog attention she is receiving. Well, I must say she definitely enjoyed this type of attention when it was placed on her [...]
Â
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 [...]
So, Loudoun County needed an energy plan pronto and went to the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) to get it done instead of going through its own contracting process. This resulted in a sole source special contract to produce the County Energy Strategy (CES) going to Garforth International, LLC for approximately [...]
I received notification yesterday of Glen Caroline’s decision to not seek re-election but didn’t have time to post about it, and frankly was too saddened by the news! Ric James starts off the discussion with a post here, including a portion of Glen’s announcement. I’ll post the full [...]
Well, we all know the public sector employees will be out in full force demanding raises when nearly no one in the private sector is getting them. If you don’t want to be saddled with higher taxes, get your butts out and speak your mind! 6:30 tonight at the County [...]
Here’s his latest column. I am very conservation minded and there is no doubt that man’s activities have effects on our planet. But the climate change (formerly global warming before warming didn’t turn out as planned) movement has gone way beyond reasonableness. The data scandal and burying of conflicting [...]

Excuse my inferred foul language, but there really isn’t another word to capture my disgust for her. Fake Redskins cheerleader, fake Miss USA, etc., etc., etc. She wanted attention? Well she’s got it now, but probably not from the directions she is getting [...]

I just heard from a good source that current renting carpetbagger Dave Marsden was the one who convinced former (but still renting) capretbagger Stevens Miller to run against Tom Rust. What is it with these NoVA Dems???
Un-frigging-believable! As John Stevens helpfully points out on his blog, the School Board was to have a consent agenda item on tonight’s meeting agenda to spend $1.7 MILLION on more of those goddammed white boards!!! Can anyone explain to me why this is a good idea in the worst [...]
What jerk-offs these two are. Attention loving pieces of crap in my opinion. Who looks worse in this, the ego-maniacal couple or the Obama White House? And what’s with the WaPo giving them front page treatment three days in a row??? Are they paying the Post for this attention they [...]
There are just so many suitable choices, I just can’t make up my mind! Put yours below and let’s see where this goes…
UPDATE: And the winner is … Stevens Miller, in a landslide!
Â
Pretty boring these days in Loudoun politics, although things will soon heat up with the budget deliberations. Post any news and views below.
[...]Let me start out by saying that I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. But the Dems would have been much better off strategically if they had picked Hillary to be their nominee. There was no way any GOP candidate was going to win that election with GWB hanging around their necks. [...]
I’ve been back to sorting through the never-ending streams of blog spam and more than a few real comments that get caught in our spam filter (sorry to those of you who get caught up – this thing never seems to learn who is real and who is an a-hole [...]
More drama to deal with when they should be looking for spending cuts! Unlike the BOS, where the At-Large member is the Chairman, the School Board elects its Chairman from among its nine members. Robert DuPree has apparently had enough of taking the brunt of criticism and will not seek [...]
Can’t the conservative PR gurus do better than lightweights like Joe the Plumber and Carrie Pre-Billy-Jean??? Joel McHale gives her The Soup treatment after her ridiculous performance on fossiliferous Larry King’s show. Earlier in a segment they made fun of her for saying how thrilled she was when she “meeted” [...]
NLS had a great post today blasting our part-time Governor Tim Kaine for jetting off to sunny Arkansas while declaring an emergency here in Virginia. And of course the Dem partisans take to blasting NLS for daring to mention impeachment, which Kaine probably deserves at this point. Just as [...]
Clueless Lowell Feld will obviously continue to vainly try to unseat our beloved Congressman Frank Wolf (link here to his little read blog post- Blue Virginia, Lowell? Obviously not!). It looks like his hero Judy Feder is finally giving up and we’ll have three other unknowns [...]
For the second time in a month the Loudoun School Board will be meeting in closed session today at 5:30 to discuss the Superintendent’s contract (see the announcement here).  That announcement says no action is anticipated, so I guess they’ll have more of these meetings. Does anyone trust anything these people do, or [...]
 I saw former Delegate David Poisson’s website mentioned in this post by NLS as an example of one post-election Dem website that is acutally somewhat current. His message to his followers is pretty pathetic, and his half-hearted statement on negative campaigning is such BS. Come [...]
Some examples here, here, and here.
Â
UPDATE:Â Â This was the post sent to me by a reader I meant [...]
The big winners are Glen Caroline and Tag Greason. Caroline kept together an often fractuous LCRC with his constant focus on nuts and bolts. But what would you expect from a grassroots professional? He was a firm and consistent leader with a single minded focus on winning [...]

Â
Â
He just can’t keep his mouth shut.
Â
Good luck trying not to barf when reading about him “toweling off”. He may hate Bob McDonnell, but EVERYONE knows who won that battle. By a HUGE margin.
Â
Â
I am soooooo hung over. Ugh. But happy, especially for Tag Greason who beat the crap out of poisonous Poisson. Great victory party last night with margins of victory beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. The GOP ticket and the delegates CRUSHED in Loudoun. So much for the ‘Loudoun is Now Blue’ [...]
1. Creigh Deeds – The top of the ticket, and what a disaster he’s been. Unfocused, practically incoherent at times, and bitter, bitter, bitter. He’s done in statewide politics.
2. Tim Kaine – He’s sooooo popular his fans say. Bullshit. Incumbent (part time) governor and DNC Chair lets his home state become [...]
Think of extremists, Ken Cuccinelli or Bob Marshall [...]
I can’t believe the Dems let this guy go forward unchallenged for their AG nomination. What an awful candidate who has run a positively awful campaign. The guy looks like he’s just out of college, not projecting any sort of authority you would expect from an AG. [...]
McDonnell, Bolling and Cuccinelli aren’t conservative enough for that twerp? So glad to see he has victory on his mind at this late stage in the game. Moron.
His final prediction thread here. Slight lean Republican, but I think the tide is even stronger for LeMunyon and Greason.
[...]
Â
I tell you, the venom coming from the Poisson camp is getting so bad and so ridiculus that the “Poison” insults of Dick Black now sound prophetic.
Greg Stone employed some in-your-face retaliatory tactics and Ric James writes it up nicely here. Shameful. Poisson can’t be confident [...]
For heaven’s sakes, the agenda of the WaPo is so transparent and constantly ridiculous! They continue their near daily attacks on Bob McDonnell by leading with a gay controversy in this article, then try to help their chosen one Steve Shannon with a gay controversy in this article.
Â
Is [...]
What a bunch of imbeciles. My-tax-dollar-wasting imbeciles.

Leesburg Today reports that the School Board voted to purchase 100 acres of land in the Rt. 50 corridor for two schools for $10.5 million. This is ONE HALF the price they agreed to pay now basically bankrupt Greenvest for the same amount [...]
God, I hate reading this paper sometimes, but I am wed to the in-your-hand feel of a morning newspaper, and I’ve never been very impressed with the Washington Times (even though I enjoy the op-ed pages). I’m very much a creature of habit and reading the Post in the morning [...]
Nothing scientific here, just my gut feelings. Feel free to add your own in comments. In order numerically with incumbent listed first.
13th – Bob Marshall (R) vs. John Bell (D): 55-45. Nearly every liberal rag has endorsed Bell and they will all have egg on their faces, showing their [...]
I’m still around but must admit this political season has me bored to death. Perhaps it’s just political burnout and real life intervening, but a big part of it is the utter lack of real competition for the top spots. McDonnell, Bolling, and Cuccinelli are going to coast to big [...]
Work has been very busy lately, and I must admit I simply cannot stand the new look of the site. Neither can any of my regular readers. Sorry Vincent and VAB, but I’ve always been a straight shooter on all topics here. Hopefully some revisions will be made when I’m ready to [...]
Well, TC is back up after I’ve been away on business for some time. I need to get used to this new format. I agree with some of the old timers that the new font is not easy to read. Hopefully some tweaks are on the way!
Kincora passed, 6-2-1. I [...]
It looks like Living in LoCo is headed for the blogosphere graveyard after Erica Garman bowed out - her farewell post has been up for over a week with nothing new since. This is a real shame - Erica did a great job filling in for the original LoCo [...]

I know, I know, what do I expect when I read the WaPo every day. But still, their constant barrage of gay-centric articles is really gone overboard. Today’s front page Style section article whines about Sascha Baron Cohen’s new Bruno movie, which looks absolutely hilarious. Every week has at [...]
