Kaine-sper the Friendly Ghost

Overview: After a pledge to the contrary, Gov. Tim Kaine is now traveling 1 day a week on business related to the Democratic National Committee.  He also admits to spending another half day a week on the phone with DNC’s Washington DC headquarters.  So, Kaine is admitting 1.5 days a week.  I suspect 4 days a [...]

Daffy Duck(er) Deeds

Overview: The Washington Post is Reporting that Sen. Creigh Deeds has reaffirmed his unwillingness to commit to a series of debates requested by Bob McDonnell.  McDonnell wants 10 debates between now and the election.  Deeds will only agree (so far, at least) to one debate – the traditional debate at the Homestead in Deeds’ home [...]

Why Deeds Will Win

My prediction:  I am calling tomorrow’s VA Democratic gubenatorial primary for Creigh Deeds. Here’s why:
1. Mr. Moran is too far left – even for the Democratic primary voters.
2. McAuliffe and Moran will split the NoVa vote.
3. Many Democratic primary voters will see Creigh Deeds as the best (perhaps only) candidate who can (possibly) beat McDonnell [...]

Congratulations Langley!

Lacrosse Championship: I arrived in New York late last night to find a text message on my phone – Langley High School had just won the state championship lacrosse match in overtime. So, the best academic high school in the state (not counting magnet school Thomas Jefferson) now has a brand new athletic title to [...]

The Real Memorial Day

Remember: This weekend Americans will enjoy the three day Memorial Day weekend.  Parties will swing, swimming pools will open, Bar-B-Ques will sizzle.  This is a great holiday for fun and family.  But as we enjoy the start of summer and spend time with family and friends I think we should take a moment to remember [...]

VA Gov – Offshore Drilling

Overview:  This is the first in what I hope to be a series of posts about important issues and where Virginia’s candidates for governor stand on the issue.  I am not picking these issues in any particular order.  I will endeavor to stick to the facts until the section of the post titled “Groveton’s Grip”.  [...]

ESPN saves RPV

ESPN -For those who either ignore everything to do with sports or have been living under a rock for the past 30+ years, let me tell you a bit about ESPN.  ESPN is a multi-channel sports and entertainment company owned (now) by the Walt Disney Company.  It’s focus is sports and it is best known [...]

Rove v. Wave

Jimmy Carter, Redux -I found an interesting article in the Nov. 24, 2008 issue of Newsweek titled, “A Way Out of the Wilderness”.  Yes, that’s an old issue of Newsweek.  But I am traveling through Europe and my Amazon Kindle’s network doesn’t work here.  So, I am reduced to actually obtaining print magazines.  Anyway, I [...]

Vick’s 2009 Season

July 20, 2009 – That’s the date Michael Vick could be out of prison.  In fact, he could be in a halfway house by January, 2009.  July 20 would be right in time for the next NFL season.  But will Michael be playing in the NFL next year?  I hope so.
A long way up, a [...]
