Allen and Webb had a debate yesterday on Meet The Press. It took up the entire 1 hour show, and it is available online to watch for free, here. Under the big ugly picture of the two candidates, it says “Click here to watch Sunday’s entire show.” Click on that. Even though it looks like [...]
Here’s some MLP (Mindless Link Propogation) for you. Former governor Mark Warner and possible 2008 Presidential candidate made a campaign stop in Second Life, the MMORPG (massively-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game) which I know almost nothing about, but which always seems to have mildly famous people showing up in it. This kind of blew my mind – it may [...]
Add another one to the list shitty things that bring press to Richmond. Thanks, thanks a lot for this one Senator. Feckin’ Daily Show even. While I think that the odds of the Senator even knowing “macaca” is a European racial slur are pretty low, the whole situation sure hasn’t done anything for public image [...]
Jim Bacon has a great post with some great comments on the proposed Gay Marriage Amendment to the Virginia Constitution. And OMG Jim is a republican and wants to “uphold the institution of marriage” but still finds the language of the amendment disturbing. So even if you don’t care about voting for your local and [...]
Like Midas, I recently ventured to my local multiplex to check out Al Gore’s lesson in effective presentation skills: An Inconvenient Truth. Now, being the skeptical sort of guy that I am, I naturally started looking for movies that show the other side of the story. Fortunately, I found two! “Is carbon dioxide a harmful [...]
We all remember the recent Governor’s race in Virginia. We remember how Kilgore warned us about how Kaine would love to have saved Hitler from defeat in World War II. How if, given the chance, he would gladly have pardoned perhaps the most evil man in history from the death penalty. Well, now all of [...]
It seems that whenever chaps up in Washington get bored they like to get into meaningless debate on two amendments to the Constitution (quick searched in my FireFox as “usac” because I am awesome): gay marriage (becoming less meaningless?) and flag burning. The Daily Press is running an article about Democratic hopeful James Webb. Webb [...]
So Tuesday is an election day here in Virginia. The Democrats’ primary election is on the 13th (Tuesday), which means it is time to decide who will be running against the eminent George Allen and the plucky Gail the Rail Parker. As a disclaimer, it is a well-known fact that I hate George Allen – [...]
Congress is readying an upgrade to the incredibly sucky DMCA, so get stoked! Included are such great ideas as allowing wiretaps for copyright violation investigations, upping the penalties for copyright infringement to ten years in prison, and making it illegal to posses copyright circumvention software/tools (including your shift key). But I think the choicest part [...]
Last night on the Daily Show John Stewart had a short interview with John McCain via satellite. The result was a sad showing by McCain who suffered mild pwnage by Stewart. Before the interview they ran clips of McCain’s 2k presidential run where he said amazing things like: Neither party should be defined by pandering [...]
In an ongoing discussion on our message board re: the Muhammad cartoons, I said: The longer there is a lack of outspoken moderate muslims, the more people will think Muhammed wears a bomb turbin. I realize that “moderate” and “outspoken” typically do not describe the same individual. But when the several continents have gone nutz, [...]
Ha! Crazy ol’ i-net what will you think of next? I mean I thought it was kind of weird that the democrats picked the former Mayor of Richmond to respond to the President. Not a bad speech though — saying “for Commonwealth and country” is an awesome thing — he just needs to get a [...]

Har! Actually (via Waldo) Del. Jack Reid accidentally shot off the handgun he regularly carries into the legislative sessions. Amazing? I’m all for the ol’ amendment numero duece, but stuff like this makes me think perhaps concealed weapons permits are kind of insane. Also last time I walked into the capitol building I was confronted [...]
