The News & Messenger Keeps It Classy
15 November 2011 | Blogs, Prince William County | 11 Comments
You can add one more item to your overflowing bag of reasons why you shouldn’t subscribe or advertise in the News & Messenger today, as their editor starts making not-so-veiled threats against the founder of PotomacLocal.com, which just happens to be outworking this dinosaur on the other end of the county from me. I can […]

BVBL Crosses Three Million
10 September 2011 | Blogs | 5 Comments
Sitemeter reports we’ve crossed the three million page view mark this past week. Although my server logs report much higher numbers, sitemeter filters out visits and page views by bots from search engines and other automated crawlers, so this number pretty closely tracks actual eyeballs. With 3,905 posts and 104,027 comments on BVBL it sure […]

Not many things bug me more than when people who are supposed to be able to think for themselves swallow obvious leftist inanities without hint a critical thought. Such is the case with Bacon’s Rebellion today, a Virginia blog that at least used to receive widespread acclaim for thoughtful analysis. When the wildly partisan leftist […]
On Attacking The Survivors Of A Tragedy
15 February 2011 | Illegal Aliens, Crime, Blogs | 46 Comments
Defending illegal aliens must be a really difficult position to hold these days. After another massacre of innocent immigrants and natural-born citizens alike by an illegal alien, and the rape of an eight year old child by another illegal alien, following MS-13 attacks on schoolchildren committed by yet another illegal alien, finding a policy […]

The Lawsuit Is Over
5 February 2011 | Blogs, Manassas City, Prince William County | 18 Comments
This week I received paperwork from the Clerk’s office notifying me that the lawsuit initiated against me by Steve Chapman has been dismissed. Now that this legal cloud has been lifted I can give readers the full, behind the scenes story of the founding of this website without being concerned about how someone might use […]
Comment Number 100,000

And true to form, it’s something guaranteed to turn a lot of heads as Mike Albertness tells us that Chief Deane has secretly shut down the police department’s Criminal Alien Unit, something he was directed to establish by the Board of County Supervisors in 2006. Details are below the fold…
The Krystal Ball Post Comes Down
12 October 2010 | Virginia Politics, Blogs, US Congress | 14 Comments
The Krystal Ball story has generated so much national attention that the availability of this server has been terribly compromised. While it’s nice to get attention from far and wide, BVBL isn’t done for a national audience. There are plenty of other places where items of national interest can be found, and the vast majority […]

It’s always such a treat when “enlightened” leftists drop by to comment after seeing or reading something about me and have their comments immediately snapped up by the comment filters that do their best to keep BVBL somewhat family-friendly. Every once in a while it might be worth it to share with readers these pearls […]
Welcome NLS Readers
17 August 2010 | Blogs | 33 Comments
If NLS readers are upset about the previous guest post about islamists trying to locate a mosque at “ground zero” in New York, they can kiss my butt. I remember 9-11, I remember the innocent people who died on that day, and if liberals want to get their panties in a twist because Americans don’t […]
Blognetnews Closes Shop
14 July 2010 | Blogs | 2 Comments
It was a great run, and a terrific service, but Dave Mastio has announced that BlogNetNews.com is shutting down. What a shame.
I’m really going to miss it.

Sarah Palin: Nixon In Drag
29 June 2010 | National Politics, Blogs | 18 Comments
So says Brian Kirwin, anyways. The Daily Press dives into the controversy and digs up some fascinating tidbits about what happened at Freedom Fest, making an already bizarre case even stranger.
It was pretty funny at the time to me. Sarah was giving boilerplate rhetoric from a written speech. Nothing wrong with that, but what […]

Freedom Fest Kicks Out Conservative Blogger
28 June 2010 | National Politics, Virginia Politics, Blogs | 33 Comments
Jim Hoeft over at Bearing Drift gets kicked out of the Freedom Fest in Hampton Roads just as Sarah Palin starts speaking???
Beware, patriots. When big-name organizers tightly associated with one political party try to create their own Tea Party type events, don’t ever think that they give a damn about the real grassroots. It’s one […]

The Week The Aggregators Died
1 December 2009 | Blogs | 4 Comments
It’s not easy keeping up with maintenance and increasing capacity on a blog aggregator, and these days it appears to be even more challenging than usual. Two aggregators I find particularly useful in keeping up with what others are saying in Virginia have been failing this week, a frustrating return to the days when the only […]

Live Coverage of the PWC Victory Party
1 November 2009 | Virginia Politics, Blogs, Prince William County | No Comments
I’m working out the details now, but it looks like I’ll be able to live stream coverage from the PWC Victory Party at L&B’s Pizzaria starting at 7:00PM Tuesday night. Republicans in some of the most-watched districts in Virginia will be there for live interviews, as well as local elected officials and perhaps quite a few surprise guests. […]

Months Later, The News & Messenger Drives By
23 October 2009 | Jeanette Rishell, Blogs, 50th HOD District | 26 Comments
Months after the story broke, the News & Messenger finally devoted all of four sentences to a controversy between a candidate for the House of Delegates and this local blogger that involves First Amendment issues, homosexual conduct and free porn. What local journalism has sunk to in these days of fiscal retrenchment, while biased editors who will […]

This quick edit of what happened during a debate between Virginia Attorney General candidates Ken Cuccinelli and Steve Shannon topped the 10k viewership mark this evening. It’s been picked up far and wide by political observers who still can’t fathom how a state-wide candidate could blunder so badly during […]
