    Number of comments: 1
    Amidst the whirl and rush on health care, Iraq’s votes are slowly being counted, but we do have some initial trends out of the released partials (Institute for the Study of War). Here’s what we have so far: State of Law (Maliki’s list): 74-79 MPs Iraqiya (Allawi’s List): 69-79 MPs INA (formerly UIA, essentially [...]

  • American Idol results 03/17/10

    Vivian J. Paige

    Although it was St. Patrick’s Day, Irish eyes failed to smile on one contestant in Wednesday night’s results show. The remaining  twelve competitors took on tunes from The Rolling Stones – not my favorite band – on Tuesday’s show, and some fared better than others. Strange show opening: Simon took on [...]

  • Divorce Court?

    Avenging Archangel

    71% of poll voters wanted to rescind the 1999 merger of Tidewater Regional Transit (TRT) and Pentran to form Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), while 28% support keeping the consolidated agency. The only sense such lopsided numbers make is that people are very angry over recent events at HRT and think [...]

    Avenging Archangel

    Hampton Roads Transit's (HRT) Transit Riders Advisory Committee (TRAC) met Wednesday evening at HRT Headquarters in Hampton.

    The meeting was dominated by a Presentation on, and discussion of, a potential fare increase for bus service. Neither TRAC members nor visitors objected to an increase. Not only that, but TRAC [...]

  • Any means necessary

    Virginia's 5th District

    Nancy Pelosi said the other day that they would pass health care by any mean necessary and I believe her.  She and her cronies will stop at nothing to force this upon the American people, even though all polling shows that citizens with a resounding majority don’t want it.   But [...]

  • Spring fever

    Fishersville Mike

    Beautiful weather this afternoon in Fishersville. The boys both wanted to play outside - the oldest wanted me to play tennis with him, and the youngest wanted me to play baseball catch.
    Where's cloning when you need it?
    I'll sleep good tonight. If my sore pitching arm doesn't keep me [...]

    Great news for my friends at Cumberland Resources!

  • The democratic side….

    Republitarian

    Well, this is fairly simple. Lowell Fulk is the only one who has a viable shot in a special election.

    I do not mean this as a slam on anyone, but he is the only one who has shown he can even come close. There doesn’t need to be a poll [...]

  • KEITH FIMIAN SAYS GERRY CONNOLLY IS RIGHT?

    Citizen Tom

    Number of comments: 1
    Admittedly, I very much like my own opinions. Thus, I very much like to write about those opinions. However, I am not running for public office. So from time-to-time I try to serve the greater good by publicizing the views of someone who is running for public office. What follows is an email from Keith Fimian. [...]

  • The Runaway Prius

    X Curmudgeon

    As a fairly recent Prius owner, the Curmudgeon is understandably concerned about all these reports that his world-saving automobile may suddenly shoot down the highway without warning.

    So far, no problems. In fact, we've found a benefit: we can careen down the interstate at 90' [...]

    Once again one of our local businessmen here in Augusta County has taken it upon himself to ask the questions that many of us have been thinking about and in a way to publicly do it....

  • All Sizzle, No Steak

    Falls Church News-Press Online

    bentonmug

    You can watch financial newscasts and read reports all day long, but there’s one dreaded “d-word” you won’t encounter: deflation.

    Still, that threat remains the biggest behind-the-scenes concern of economic policy makers, and has everything to do with why the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates at zero. [...]
