I think I am probably the only person that reads this site that this applies too, but there is a special election coming up on December 11th, for VA-1, US Congress. This includes the Fredericksburg area, through the Northern Neck, and on down to Williamsburg and environs. Our Representative, Jo Ann Davis (R), died, kind [...]
Check this out. Apparently, in order to vote in the Republican primaries in Virginia next year, voters will be required to sign an oath of loyalty to the eventual nominee. You will swear to vote for whichever Republican wins, according to the story. Sooooo, say you are pro-life. So you vote for Huckabee or something. [...]
Senator Warner has announced that he will not run for re-election next year. A sad day for Virginia.
Here are the photos I took on campus this weekend. See the rest.
An aide to our very own Jim Webb was arrested the other day for trying to carry a loaded pistol along with 2 loaded ammo clips into the US Senate office building. Maybe someone should let the Capitol Police know that in Virginia, this is perfectly normal, accepted practice.
Today is the anniversary of Patrick Henry’s famous speech down there at St. John’s Church in Richmond, VA. You know the one, about the liberty and such. If I had to guess, I might predict that there may be a reenactment or something going on there, although that may simply come from spending too much [...]
VCU wins the CAA tourney advancing to what some may call the big dance. There will be dancing, and it will be big — there may be parachute pants. In the mean time check out this sweet picture of the students on the court:
Recently a release from the Tennessee Center for Policy Research scooped Al Gore on his giant Tennessee mansion that is basically made from the burning carcasses of dinosaurs. In 2k6 he ran up an average monthly electricity bill of 1,200$ and an average monthly gas bill of 1,080$ (so says the i-nets, ymmv). The inventor [...]
Haha! Just kidding! From the Falmeister himself: Now, I’m certainly not a scientist. But if one looks past the superficial reporting of the mainstream media and examines the many alternative scientific views on global warming, it is apparent that the earth frequently experiences warming and cooling trends. It appears to me — and I have [...]
WTF? Can anyone tell me what is happening here? Technorati Tags: sports, Virginia, Virginia Tech, wtf
We all know that I love Lee-Jackson day. It is a holiday uniquely Virginian and maybe my second favorite holiday (next to Thanksgiving, duh). Obviously that makes me a raving racist right? RIGHT? Anyway. For today’s Lee-Jackson day celebration the Sons of Confederate Veterans had a small gathering at Lee Circle with some speechifying and [...]
Me and roundball generally aren’t the best of friends. But any time VT scores a win over a top 5 team in any sport I get excited. I think Duke:Basketball::Miami:football for the Hokies. As in WE WILL OWNz YOU 4 LIFE. Or not. But seriously Hokie basketball!. Also check out this sweet image:
If you love fun, Richmond, and beer you need drop whatever you are doing and head on over to RiverCityRapids to read Snoopy’s bit on Richmond’s War on Nightlife. I’ll summarize via blockquotes: For example, Section Sec. 6-159 (b) of the proposal (Scroll to Page 9) states that if a club expects to reach its [...]
I VOTED. Did you? I’ll post my ballot in the comments after the election is over.
I thought this was cool — an 8600 sqft. addition to Henderson Hall on College Ave. Technorati Tags: Virginia, Virginia Tech
