It’s official: you must be at least *this* insane to participate in politics

Oh crazy Charlottesville liberals and oh crazy George Allen campaign. The video from YouTube: Technorati Tags: politics, Virginia, wtf

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

27-38; !Hokies

It is hard for me to write about a Hokie loss. In fact it is hard for me to do anything after a Hokie lose — other than drink breers.. It isn’t a good scene in my house when things go bad for VPI, just ask my wife. But here are some thoughts: I’m super [...]

29-13; Hokies!

The game was televised on ESPNU which I don’t get at my house. Unfortunately this forces me to watch the game at BW3′s which is loud and the bartender wears a Notre Dame jersey just to piss me off. It also means I didn’t take notes like I normally do. For what its worth: The [...]

VA Kid Pwns UVA

A Virginian kid just graduated from UVA in 1, count ‘em 1 year. He double majored in Math and Physics. He is 18, and came in with 72 AP credits (he took the tests without taking the associated classes). 23 credits in the fall, 37 in the spring, and 3 in the summer. He said [...]

VA Senate Race Debate

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 [...]

36-0; Hokies!

Some thoughts on today’s smothering victory over the Blue Devils. Sean Glennon! He had great numbers today: 15-25, 301, INT, 2TD. Not only did he have a good game statistically he had a good game mentally. After shaking off some dust Glennon rocked it pretty hard in the second half. Today I saw him check [...]

35-10; Hokies!

We learned a lot in college football this week. We learned Ohio State, and Notre Dame could be the real thing. We also remembered that Florida State still sucks. Here are some take-aways from VT’s game against UNC. Sean Glennon’s first road game start could have gone better. It seemed like all of Glennon’s passes [...]

38-0; Hokies!

I put some more pics on my fickr if you are interested. Thoughts Our parking spot was awesome — Lot 2!!! I will probably never tailgate in Lot 2 again so huzzah! Sitting in the West Stands is a totally different experience than sitting in the East Stands. Not bad, just different. Northeastern — obviously [...]

Mark Warner Makes Campaign Stop in MMORPG

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 [...]

VA Plates

We love being cool and hip with our license plates. Or should I say lcsn plt. Wrd! R34d mre h3r3

Fire Burn; Cauldron Bubble

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 [...]
