HB 3202 Clears House
24 February 2007 | Virginia House | 4 Comments
I just got word that the compromise transportation plan passed the house. Now it’s on to the Senate where the big battle is going to be fought. My source tells me that chances of passage are pretty good.
Batter Up!
24 February 2007 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 15 Comments
Today’s Manassas Journal-Messenger article on the Rack & Roll scandal gives a lot of rope to officials of Manassas Park, which they dutifully use to hang themselves. It’s pretty stunning when you’re sitting on the mountain of evidence I’ve collected on this story to see city officials say some of these utterly inane things. […]
ACLU Chapter Prez Kiddie Porn Arrest
23 February 2007 | Crime | 10 Comments
Apparently one of those supposed great defenders of American liberties, specifically the former Virginia state director of the ACLU, has felt liberty included purchasing rape videos of pre-pubescent girls. And these are the same folks trying to “enlighten” the city of Manassas in regards to how it conducts it’s business.
God help us all.
H/T: Hot […]

Faisal Gill At Work
23 February 2007 | 51st HOD District | 2 Comments
GoodbyeJim has been feverishly digging into Faisal Gill’s resume as a candidate for the 51st District and published an article today discussing one of the few existing records concerning Faisal Gill’s efforts on behalf of the American Muslim Council. There hasn’t been much clarity from the Faisal Gill campaign regarding the details of his […]
MJM’s Second Rack & Roll Article
23 February 2007 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 5 Comments
Today’s Manassas Journal-Messenger article on the Rack & Roll scandal covers a lot of territory, reducing what could easily be a John Grisham novel down into a few sentences, and unless the MJM had the opportunity to run a story every day for the next six months there’s not much chance they could adequately delve […]

Transportation Deal Imminent?
23 February 2007 | Virginia Politics | 1 Comment
At least that’s what the DC Examiner seems to think. I’m not terribly impressed with how this is coming together, though.
UPDATE: More on this is over at NLS.

The MJM Body Slams Manassas Park
23 February 2007 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 9 Comments
In part two of the Manassas Journal-Messenger’s story on the Rack & Roll scandal, reporter Alex Granados delivers a withering fire against the actions of Manassas Park which I am certain will be driving Manassas Park officials to distraction today. Included in the article are quotes from family members of Manassas Park Police Chief […]

Kaine’s Bluff Is Pathetic
22 February 2007 | Virginia Politics | 2 Comments
The Washington Post ran an article today on Governor Kaine’s threat to veto the transportation compromise that got picked up by a few blogs (see notable commentary on Mason Conservative, for example) and is now the talk of Richmond. Some conservatives disappointed with the spending plan and the Razing Kaine crowd are all cheering, […]

Judy Hayes’ Granddaughter Says Thanks
22 February 2007 | Manassas City | Comments Off
A comment from Judy Hayes’ granddaughter appeared tonight on the post where I alerted readers that former Manassas City Councilmember Judy Hayes had passed away, and I didn’t want to see this buried in an old post and have Ashleigh’s thank you to the citizens of Manassas go unnoticed.

Potts Retires!
22 February 2007 | Virginia Senate | 6 Comments
Not Larry Sabato is reporting that Russ Potts may announce his retirement today. If this is true, the first step in burning down the Senate is complete, but we have a lot more work to do before we start celebrating.
UPDATE: Manassas Journal-Messenger reporter Lillian Kafka confirms that Potts announced his retirement on the Senate […]
Rack & Roll Gets Media Attention
22 February 2007 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 5 Comments
Today’s Manassas Journal-Messenger article on the Rack & Roll scandal is the opening article of a three part series, and introduces some issues that I expect will be explored at greater depth over the next few days. This installment focuses on the denial of a Conditional Use Permit for Rack & Roll in 2006 […]

The Manassas Journal-Messenger has started it’s long-awaited multi-part article on the Rack & Roll scandal with a somewhat curious opening piece in today’s edition. There are a few references in the article that probably need some explanation, which I hope to provide tomorrow morning. Stay tuned…

Dems Put Out The Laundry
21 February 2007 | PWCDC | 2 Comments
The Gainesville Times has an explosive article by Dan Roem today which allowed former Chairman Vic Bras and 1st CD Vice-Chair Matt Harrison a chance to air their grievances about the Prince William County Democratic Commitee and the DPVA. It is an utterly fascinating read, and again Dan Roem has done a wonderful job […]

Gay Illegal Aliens. Great.
21 February 2007 | Illegal Aliens | 6 Comments
I would have never though there’d be a connection between homosexuals and Mexicanos Sin Fronteras. From the spanish language blog “Free Sex”, after a number enticements to view photographs of naked men, there are a couple of news updates:

The Baby In The Bathwater
21 February 2007 | Virginia Politics | 4 Comments
The compromise transportation plan has experienced several near-death experiences, and now that it’s nearing the end of it’s journey through the conference committee a number of blogs (see Deo Vindice and Bacon’s Rebellion) have pulled out their swords again, hoping upon hope that it can be skewered and buried. Their arguments are persuasive, and […]

MJM Stuns Readers With “Ass Clowns”
21 February 2007 | Manassas City | 8 Comments
The Manassas Journal-Messenger is reporting on the widely expected filing of a complaint against Manassas City Police Officers as a result of the “VCDL 7″ incident which broke last week. The article is noteworthy to me not because of how it relates a controversial story, which it does well, but because they actually use […]
