Can you believe this crap? Do Democrats really think that they’re going to win elections by saying that Rush Limbaugh is going to eat their children? I’d characterize this over-the-top hyperbole as utter desperation, if only I could make any sense out of it. Seeing that these rantings are typically reserved for the mentally disturbed, […]

Manassas City Deputy Attorney Martin Crim demonstrates his utter lack of competence in a letter to the editor published in the Manassas News & Messenger today, making many folks wonder whether the City of Manassas deliberately hires fools, or only does so inadvertently.

E-Verify Passes House
16 February 2010 | Illegal Aliens, Crime, Virginia House | 14 Comments
Delegate Dave Albo’s HB 737 was originally designed to improve employment opportunities for the roughly 275,000 Virginians out of work by mandating that Virginia businesses use the E-Verify system, as several other states have already done.

Bob Marshall On Fox News
14 February 2010 | National Politics, 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 42 Comments
Nice to see delegate Bob Marshall get some national coverage on HB 10 on Fox News the other day. If Bob manages to inspire some other states to follow suit on this, the idea that the federal government can compel you to buy health insurance under penalty of fines and […]

Maybe I was wrong.

10 February 2010 | Fairfax County, Virginia House | 6 Comments
Attention candidates for elected office: when you think that maybe it’s a good idea to use cheap, low-quality videos in your campaign at the same time you’re spending gobs of money on direct mail, remember this. Kerry joins a long list of good candidates who got punished for not thinking that it’s worth making sure […]

At the end of Delegate Scott Lingamfelter’s remarks he announced that he would be drafting a letter to be signed by members of the Virginia legislature and delivered to our federal representatives, encouraging that delivery to be made by a march on Washington. Now that’s a fascinating idea! It […]

13 January 2010 | Virginia House | 64 Comments
I had the pleasure of spending the better part of the day in Richmond, starting with the Commonwealth Prayer Breakfast and staying through most of the opening session of the General Assembly.

So which candidates for the House of Delegates in Prince William County got the most “bang” for their campaign “buck”? Once again we see that Delegate Bob Marshall once again is far more effective with his campaign finances than just about anyone else. And the least effective candidate this cycle? That’s hardly a surprise either […]

Paul Nichols was a first-term delegate with lots of money, but wasn’t expected to personally work that hard for his own re-election. Rich Anderson looked promising as a challenger because he was willing to put in the time and effort to get elected. In the end, Anderson knocking on a huge number doors in the […]

“A mixed blessing is when your mother in law drives off a cliff, but does it in your new Cadillac.”
On the good news front, I don’t think there’s any way we’re going to have to deal with Jeanette Rishell as a candidate ever again. On the bad news front, Jackson Miller may not have […]
