3 March 2010 | Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 8 Comments
Here’s the first in a series of one minute videos by Keith Fimian where he discusses his campaign and the important issues he intends to address as the next Congressman representing the 11th District. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of these.

Keith Fimian Kickoff Video
1 March 2010 | Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 1 Comment
I wish I could have been at this, but fortunately O. P. was there to capture some video of Keith Fimian’s official campaign kickoff for those of us who weren’t. I love how Keith continues to hone his message — it certainly gets the crowd all fired up!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???
27 February 2010 | Prince William County | 17 Comments
I find it particularly appalling when government agencies lobby our elected officials to raise our taxes. When they use taxpayer resources to contact residents to do their lobbying for them it is even more enraging. Is this why we paid for IT services for the county schools, just to have them used to promote a […]

Back To Back Funnies
25 February 2010 | Illegal Aliens, Humor & Satire, Prince William County | 31 Comments
Manassas News & Messenger opinion writer Michael Shannon offered us a real treat in his column today entitled “The 2010 Mexican Roundup“, which is published the day after a former illegal alien tries to take WMAL Host Chris Plante to task for not being sufficiently ‘enlightened’ about the unlawful presence of illegal aliens. While “Prince […]
Are You Kidding Me?
25 February 2010 | Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 32 Comments
Mason Conservative notes the differing choices Keith Fimian and Pat Herrity made in deciding a venue for their campaign kickoff events, and it kind of makes you wonder what’s up with the Herrity campaign. After Herrity withdrew from the Commonwealth Transportation Board after missing a huge chunk of their meetings, you have to wonder if […]
Keith Fimian Kickoff On Saturday

Keith Fimian is holding a campaign kickoff on Saturday afternoon which is a great opportunity for folks to come out and see the man who is going to take down Gerry “Boss” Connolly in November. If you’re in the 11th District and can make it, I highly recommend attending.
You are invited to Keith Fimian’s Prince […]

Ken Cuccinelli Keynote Address
23 February 2010 | PWCRC, Virginia Politics | 5 Comments
Here’s the video of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli at the PWCRC Lincoln-Reagan Dinner last week. Seeing how clearly and convincingly he makes his arguments, it’s not hard to understand why liberals get so incredibly upset with him. Ken is a real threat to the liberal agenda, making him one […]

“Cut Virginia Spending Tour” Visits Gainesville
22 February 2010 | 29th VA Senate, Prince William County | No Comments
Not much notice on this, but if you’re free Tuesday night (tomorrow) there’s another Americans For Prosperity event in Gainesville that you probably won’t want to miss. While Senator Chuck Colgan is supporting higher taxes on Virginians during these difficult economic times, some citizens are gathering to demonstrate that we want smaller government, not higher […]

Wow, What A Show!
20 February 2010 | PWCRC | 7 Comments
Last night’s PWCRC Lincoln-Reagan dinner at Heritage Hunt went way beyond expectations for a local committee’s fundraising dinner. Sure, you had the usual speeches — and they were very good, especially Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s keynote address, but it was the extras this year that put this event way over the top. The committee brought […]
Illegal Alien Charged With Rape of 11 Year Old
19 February 2010 | Illegal Aliens, Crime, Prince William County | 32 Comments
Perhaps you were wondering whether Jose Piedad Don Juan Martinez might be an illegal alien. Martinez was recently charged with two counts of rape and one count of attempted rape involving an eleven year old girl, an utterly shocking crime that in the past has been almost uniquely committed by those whose entire existence in […]

How Long Before Our Schools Reopen?
16 February 2010 | Prince William County | 38 Comments
Once again, Prince William County Schools are closed on Tuesday, February 16th. The last time my oldest daughter attended school was on February 4th, and while I enjoy the time with the kids this extended, unscheduled vacation is starting to wear a little thin on me. Enough is enough. It’s well past time to resume […]

Sharing The Light

Here’s one of the projects that kept posting a little light this week, as I dove into a project for my Church while the snow was falling. My friends might recognize a few of the faces in this video…
The Trashman Cometh
11 February 2010 | Humor & Satire, Prince William County | 28 Comments
Got this video clip from a friend last week and felt it’s too funny not to share. Who the heck walks around with a bag of trash hidden under a poncho looking for someone else’s trash cans to leave it next to?
PWC’s Best Slush Fund
10 February 2010 | Crime, Prince William County | 6 Comments
I’m not a big fan of the idea of local governments doling out taxpayer dollars to charities. There’s no moral argument in seizing wealth (under penalty of law) from taxpayers in order to fund charitable groups, and the opportunity for graft and corruption to creep into funding decisions is substantial. If private individuals and entities […]
Son Of Snowpocalypse?

As if we really needed another bout of snow, the National Weather Service is predicting between seven and fourteen more inches of snow to fall between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening, accompanied by fairly strong winds that will cause drifting and visibility problems, particularly on Wednesday. While a lot […]
McDonnell Reverses Kaine School Funding Grab
8 February 2010 | Virginia Politics, Prince William County | 15 Comments
Delegate Jackson Miller was clearly happy to announce that Governor McDonnell undid the freeze in the LCI funding formula today, ensuring that schools in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park won’t get unfairly punished in the next biennial budget. Although this doesn’t make budget discussions any easier this year as the decision increases costs […]

Snowpocalypse: The Aftermath
7 February 2010 | Prince William County | 31 Comments
And now the ‘dig out’ and recovery begins. The roof of the ice skating center in Dale City collapsed from the weight of the snow, as did the roof of a hangar at Manassas Airport. About 4,000 homes in Prince William County lost power at some point during the storm, and temperatures this morning were […]

Lisa Bell was appointed unanimously to represent the Neabsco District on the Prince William County School Board this evening. Congrats to Lisa and the residents of the Neabsco District who have someone fully capable of carrying forward the kind of representation that Julie Lucas was able to provide them for so many years.
The District will […]

Redistricting The 50th
30 January 2010 | Manassas Park, Manassas City, Prince William County, 50th HOD District | 10 Comments
While many eyes are on the current 13th House District represented by Bob Marshall that will split into two districts in 2011, another district in Prince William County will undergo significant changes due to redistricting and that will be the 50th District, currently represented by Delegate Jackson Miller. Currently the 50th has a little under […]
Redistricting Prince William County
29 January 2010 | Prince William County | 8 Comments
Next year when Supervisors and members of the School Board in Prince William County face re-election, they’ll do so in magisterial districts that have been dramatically re-drawn based on U.S. Census figures that will be available later this year. In the past ten years there have been pretty dramatic shifts in population as the county […]
