INTERVIEW: 5th District Candidate Silver Persinger

Earlier this week I saw that John over at CHPN.net had interviewed his City Council candidates. I thought it was such a great idea I stole his questions and fired off an email to both the incumbent, Marty Jewell, and the challenger Silver Persinger. I told both of them that I’d like their responses by [...]

Reasons not to move to Missouri

Show me what exactly?? Not much I bet. The state’s website purports that it is the “stalwart, conservative, noncredulous character of Missourians.” Laaaaame. Is Missouri in the Midwest, the South, or the North? It is west of the Mississippi right? Although one time I heard that Missouri loved slaves and the Union. I actually have [...]

Smartest States

Someone or something named Morgan Quinto did a ranking of states by “smartness.” They used a variety of measures, such as percentage of high school graduates, college graduates, test scores, education funding, class sizes, education costs, and that sort of thing. Anyways, Virginia ranked 6th, which is pretty damn good (there are a total of [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why My Wife is Awesome; Or Happy Birthday Lady!

Unlike lesser wives, she enjoys eating at Taco Bell. Wearing a shirt and no pants is not acceptable to her. Grammar humor is acceptable to her. Even though she went to UofR she has “Go Hokies!” in her email signature. She thinks this is hilarious. She has a magna brain. It barely fits in her [...]

Virginia: The New Swing State

Virginia is now officially a swing state. According to that article, the national Republican party is starting to concentrate their efforts (read: money) on 3-4 senate races: Missouri, Tennessee, New Jersey, and, yes, Virginia. This is significant in that it means they are to some degree abandoning Montana, Ohio (the focus of the article), Pennsylvania [...]

I Like Ike.

Time for Whitaker?? With the prospect for a descent season basically gone, is it time for Virginia Tech to rethink their quarterback situation? In principle, I’m generally opposed to a mid-season switch in QBs, but with the way things are looking right now, what do we really have to lose in giving Ike Whitaker a [...]

William and Mary, hot bed of hostility and abuse (towards “Indians”)

The NCAA has tomahawk chopped those offensive feathers right off of the William and Mary logo. I for one am glad to see such blatant racism removed from college athletics. As the NCAA said the College should be responsible for opponents who may make racial slurs concerning the lineage and history of innocent feathers. Think [...]

ELECTION: The ballot in Richmond — Vote or Emigrate

By now everyone knows George Allen hates black people called some guy “macaca” and Jim Web hates women said a thing when he was younger. But do you know who is running for the 5th District City Council spot? I do, but I live there. Anyway, here is an incomplete list of things/people on the [...]

8 movie reviews in under 1600 characters

Some Like It Hot A great member of the Cross Dressing Comedy; personally my favorite Genre. Plus Tony Curtis does this awesome impression of Cary Grant and it is hilarious. Rating: **** Promises Its like kids say the darndest things, but these kids all have racist parents. Good in a sad way though. Rating: **** [...]

Asphalt 1, My Face 0

Last night I learned two things: Asphalt is hard Ummm bikes are sweet? I mean whatever, maybe it was just that one thing. While finishing up our sweet new North side loop I happened to run over something that flew up into the spokes of my front wheel. As you may know this causes the [...]

My review of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace

Usually when I read a book, the book world exists only within the covers of the book. Even super-compelling book worlds, like Middle Earth, while fully realized, don’t make me think I could literally go there. About 90% of the way through Infinite Jest, I realized it was a whole different sort of book world. [...]

NAACP: Bush Saves Planet, Loves Black People!

Ok, so the NAACP didn’t say that, but should they?? In 2004 the NAACP was paying for billboards in Florida that blamed Bush for the number and power of hurricanes because he personally ignored global warming (paid for with the org’s ‘get out and vote’ fund no less). And remember, just 1 year ago the [...]
