Run Judy, Run!
21 March 2007 | US Congress | 15 Comments
Lowell Feld is eagerly reporting today that Judy Feder is being encouraged to try again to unseat Frank Wolf and is being urged on by “community activists”. Let me add to the chorus, and urge Judy to run again. A Judy Feder campaign is red meat to a blogger like me, and the […]
Faisal Gill Under Investigation
21 March 2007 | 51st HOD District | 27 Comments
Faisal Gill has really struck a raw nerve with veterans.
I’ve been hearing from several folks who have contacted Navy JAG offices regarding Faisal Gill’s wearing of his uniform while conducting campaign activities because they take a dim view of someone prostituting their uniform as a means of advancing (or trying to salvage) their political campaign. […]

Will Police Be Relevant To Public Safety?
21 March 2007 | Crime | 11 Comments
Imagine you’re involved in an accident. The other party flees the scene, and you follow them while calling the police on your cell phone, only to discover that the police aren’t really interested in coming to your assistance. You sit in front of the perpetrator’s house for twenty minutes waiting for the police to actually […]

PWC BOCS Holds The Line
20 March 2007 | Prince William County | 3 Comments
I’ve heard some encouraging things about the budget for Prince William County over the past few days, and the Manassas Journal-Messenger reports today on some of the preliminary actions. As a result of recent meetings, the 2008 budget definitely seems to be focused on delivering core services while reducing expenses as much as possible. […]

WashPo Covers Local Illegal Immigration Story
20 March 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Manassas City | 6 Comments
Among all the issues covered on this website, none seem to get the attention of the Washington Post more than illegal immigration. A little more than a week ago Washington Post deputy foreign editor Pamela Constable interviewed both myself and Maureen Wood while covering a story on a legal clinic that had been held […]

Mike Turner As Wolf Bait
20 March 2007 | US Congress | 2 Comments
Instead of having a credible challenger to beat up next cycle, Congressman Frank Wolf will apparently get an anti-war serial letter to the editor writer from Waterford by the name of Mike Turner as a challenger in 2008, if what TC is reporting is correct. Perhaps Democrats are just running out of folks who could […]

Connolly Considering Congressional Run
20 March 2007 | Fairfax County, US Congress | 3 Comments
Gerry Connolly, Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, is telling folks that he won’t promise to stay for another full term if re-elected to the Fairfax Board as he is considering running for congress in the 11th District, a seat now held by Tom Davis. Although he’s somewhat popular among the party loyalists, […]

Unfit For Duty
19 March 2007 | 51st HOD District | 24 Comments
This is the front cover of a mail piece sent out recently by the Faisal Gill campaign. If the main picture and the third inset aren’t posed campaign photos, I can’t imagine that the campaign would need the services of a professional photographer at all. These are pretty charming pictures, but as I’ve […]
Let The Record Reflect A Bribery Attempt
19 March 2007 | Prince William County | 20 Comments
In the official minutes of the PWCRC is the following entry regarding candidate for PWC Sheriff Mike Messier’s speech at the last committee meeting:
Mike Messier http://www.messierforsheriff.com/ : Proudly Republican and pro-life. June 12 primary. If elected, will write a check for $10k to PWCRC.
Isn’t that something that a bribery attempt made during a candidate’s […]

PWC Not Turning Blue This Year
19 March 2007 | Prince William County | 9 Comments
This election season in Prince William County is starting to look like it will be largely free of the kind of fireworks that we’ve seen as different potential candidates jockey for position in the pre-primary season. There are a few opportunities remaining for surprises, but for the most part the dust is settling and […]

Not Ready For Prime Time: Robert Rice
19 March 2007 | Prince William County | Comments Off
It only keeps getting better.
Robert Rice, the only announced Democrat in the race for Woodbridge Supervisor, got a little bit of a head’s up from a BVBL reader who was clearly embarrassed for the citizens of Woodbridge after seeing his website. He offered the following helpful advice, and was remarkably charitable about it:

Career Advancement For Bloggers
19 March 2007 | Fairfax County, Blogs | 11 Comments
This election season there’s one blogger who is taking a shot at a Clerk of the Court seat in Rockingham County, and apparently Ben Tribbet is considering running for this seat in Fairfax county. With an eight year term and a six figure salary, not to mention little in the way of official duties, […]

More Manassas MySpace Intel
18 March 2007 | Manassas City | 17 Comments
It’s bad enough having Jake’s in Manassas have their Monday night “private party” which is a thin cover for a “gay night”. Now apparently, after trying with a “latino night” without much success, another Manassas establishment may think that marketing to homosexuals is a good way to escape poor business performance. Is racing […]

It’s Time For Some Real Creativity
18 March 2007 | 51st HOD District | 12 Comments
After a while you’d think this guy would have enough and pack it in before he embarrasses himself further. But no, Faisal Gill is apparently soldiering on and will soon announce his long-delayed campaign kickoff for March 31st at an undisclosed American Legion post. Elected officials have gotten the word, as Faisal tries […]

RK Discovers The Ends Of Their Means
18 March 2007 | Blogs | 8 Comments
Take a look at “Photos Like This Hurt the Credibiilty of Serious Anti-War Folks” (yes, that’s the real title) at Raising Kaine to see Lowell Feld bemoaning the way radicals have in many ways taken over the Democratic Party and now present the agenda of organizations such as the Marxist A.N.S.W.E.R. as the mainstream Democratic […]

Gathering Of Eagles
17 March 2007 | Prince William County | 1 Comment
Desi Arnaiz was among those at the “Gathering Of Eagles” in Washington today, which protected DC war memorials and performed a counter-protest against the nutjobs from ANSWER who showed up and urged America to surrender to any convenient adversary in the name of “peace”. Desi sent this report to friends and folks interested in what […]
Server Upgrade Complete
17 March 2007 | Blogs | Comments Off
Just a few moments ago I managed to complete the process of transitioning the site hosting over to an upgraded server which has quite a lot more muscle behind it. I’ve seen tremendous traffic growth over the last three months (+80% in December and +60% in January and February) which brought over 400,000 http […]

Just Say NOOOO!
16 March 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Humor & Satire | 7 Comments
This is how Joe Budzinsky recommends you respond to fundraising letters from the Republican National Committee given that it’s leadership has been advocating for a form of amnesty for illegal aliens. He might be on to something here.
Go watch.
Help Save Manassas

Help Save Manassas has announced that it will hold it’s first public meeting on April 3rd at Manassas City Hall. This is a great opportunity for residents of Manassas, Manassas Park and Prince William County to join together and help combat the effects of large numbers of illegal aliens residing in our communities. Come and […]
Not Benefit Make Of Dam Teorists
16 March 2007 | Prince William County | 14 Comments
While I was trying to sort out what the current situation is over in the Woodbridge District, I happened to come across the campaign website for Democrat Robert Rice. If this is the best Democrats have to offer in Woodbridge as an alternative to Hilda Barg, Chris Royse is going to mop the floor […]
