  • The Road To Recovery

    United Conservatives

    I just wanted to give all of you an update on my recovery status and potential mental condition if I'm not allowed to drive my truck soon. (Shaky at best)

    I had Physical Therapy orientation today at Memorial Regional. Kind of a seminar on what to expect over the' [...]

  • Sign Of The Times Or The Season?

    NOVA Townhall Blog

    I saw something interesting while traveling thru one of Sterling’s strip malls.  A manager and store employee from the Burlington Coat Factory was forcibly manuvering a “patron” back into the store (there was some serious strongarming going on here) with her ill-gotten goods.  Looks like Light-fingered Lovisa was doing some [...]

  • Kaine's farewell gift

    Tertium Quids

    Number of comments: 1
    There's a lot of speculation on just what sort of parting gifts Gov. Kaine will leave for lawmakers and Bob McDonnell in the state budget. The idea that the car tax might return has been floating out there for a while, and we already know the Governor wants to eliminate [...]

  • This May Be The Point ...

    SkepticalObservor

    at which reasonable men take up arms.

    Yesterday, the imperial Federal government --- specifically, the Environmental Protection Agency --- declared that CO2 is a pollutant that it is entitled to regulate.

    But every human being and animal emits CO2, when it exhales. The question then becomes, what [...]

  • Iraq and Climate Change

    Barticles


    Today’s column asks whether the Climategate e-mails are the new Downing Street Memo:

    Both the Downing Street Memo and the Climategate e-mails suggest political pressure led some people in high places to massage the intelligence to fit a predetermined conclusion. . . .

    On the other hand, the Downing [...]

  • "Fistgate"

    Now At The Podium

    In what has to be the funniest use of the suffix "-gate" term ever used, we now have one of President Obama's czars (Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings) under fire for handing out "fisting kits" and offering such seminars as "Spit or Swallow: Is It Rude?" and fisting lessons [...]

  • Middle River water quality

    Coarse Cracked Corn

    The Middle River watershed lies in the heart of Augusta County. Along with North River and South River, it is one of the region's wonderful waterways that are major tributaries of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Each of these rivers has "issues" that impact' [...]

    Winter weather continues in the Shenandoah Valley as the weatherman warns of impending icy precipitation late this afternoon changing to freezing rain with "significant icing" possible.

    Ouch.

  • New Health Insurance Ideas Emerging in Debate

    Blue Commonwealth

    There are a couple of new initiatives percolating in the cauldron that is the Senate health insurance reform "slow cooker," ones that might actually be quite promising.

    First, The New York Times has reported that liberal Democratic senators, in return for their acquiescence in dropping a government-run insurance option, are pushing [...]

  • Would you re-elect Tim Kaine?

    Red NoVA

    Dang. After you lose an election, a party’s true colors come out. T-Mac is out saying that the Dems should have fielded a stronger candidate (translate: “I would have won”). Even Governor Kaine agrees. He said that if he could have run for re-election, he would have won, saying “I probably [...]

  • Unintentional Fun

    snapped shot

    Aside from the fact that children are once again being used as props in support of yet another leftist movement, this caption cracks me up:

    Children release balloons attached to a poem calling for climate change during a demonstration in Sidon, southern Lebanon, December 8, 2009. The demonstration was held to [...]
