  • At Least They're Being Honest

    —From On High

    The Plan then:
    "Health care costs are skyrocketing. Health insurance premiums have doubled in the last 8 years, rising 3.7 times faster than wages in the past 8 years, and increasing co-pays and deductibles threaten access to care.  Many insurance plans cover only a limited number of doctors’ visits" [...]

  • Quote of the Day

    —From On High

    Charles Krauthammer on the real motives behind the environmentalist movement:
    Since we operate an overwhelmingly carbon-based economy, the EPA will be regulating practically everything. No institution that emits more than 250 tons of CO2 a year will fall outside EPA control. This means more than a million building complexes, [...]

  • Broken Record

    —From On High

    Maybe this threat will have the desired effect the 98th time it's cast:

    Iran could face 'significant additional sanctions,' Gates says

    I'm sure the ayatollahs are shaking in their boots.' [...]

  • Maybe. Maybe Not.

    —From On High

    I think there is something else going on here besides that which Ben Smith illuminates:

    "Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his'" [...]

  • They See What They Want To See

    —From On High

    Randall Hoven on the religious zealots of the environmental movement:
     "Stop hyperventilating, all you climate-change deniers. The purloined e-mail correspondence published by skeptics last week -- portraying some leading climate researchers as petty, vindictive and tremendously eager to make their data fit accepted theories -- does not prove that global" [...]

  • Well, The Lawyers Will Benefit

    —From On High

    It ain't over yet.  The EPA can do its best to destroy this country in its relentless attempt to save us from ourselves, but the opposition is starting to organize.  And it has money:
    The EPA's Carbon Bomb Fizzles
    By Kimberley A. Strassel, Wall Street Journal

  • Wanna here Revisionist History?

    —Yankee Philip

    Number of comments: 0


    That is one big pile of Yak Manure. Ronald Reagan was praised for his “efforts on arms control [which] not only improved relations with the Soviet Union, but empowered dissidents throughout Eastern Europe.” In fact, Ronald Reagan put missiles in Europe. That bankrupted the Soviet Union & brought [...]

  • Rumors are swirling about the FCRC…

    —Too Conservative

    Number of comments: 10

    My sources tell me that there’s a high likelihood Fairfax County Republican Committee chair Anthony Bedell will follow Glen Caroline’s lead and not run for reelection. Given the behind the scenes criticism and constant second guessing from naysayers over the last years, I can’t say that I blame him. I [...]

    Number of comments: 2
    There Goes the Neighborhood   Thanks to the good people here for their kind welcome.  I am excited to bring my own “solvent” approach to the Virtucon team, even if my posting opportunities are limited.  Briefly, about me: I’ve been living in Fairfax County for about eight years, but grew up in Maryland.  I’m [...]

  • Huh?

    —BLACK VELVET BRUCE LI

    Number of comments: 6

    This has got to be the front-running nominee for the most obtuse and incomprehensible sentence ever published in a newspaper:

    The amendment would do away with a requirement that adding trailers on existing school property to bypass a “public facility review” by the Planning Commission.

    Some of us might actually want [...]

    —BLACK VELVET BRUCE LI

    Number of comments: 12

    There are lots of things I haven’t had the chance to write about this week that are obvious targets of intense discussion, and this is your chance to start the ball rolling.  From the nutcase who failed to shoot his teacher at NVCC with a Marlin 30.06 and had it [...]
