I just spent over an hour writing a post. When I finished writing and creating hyper-links, I meant to click on the icon to insert a picture but accidentally hit the embed/edit media icon. The editor went blank. I left that window open and entered the Site through a different browser, sighed [...]
and it wouldn’t have mattered, anyway.
Tonight, I am truly awestruck. …And thankful that, just as I had Margaret Thatcher, my daughter has
Sarah Palin.One question: How did this obviously Southern woman come from Alaska?
Mrs. Palin, consider yourself adopted, you Steel Magnolia, you!!

2) Is my dad the father?
3) Will I have to pay for its birth?
4) Will it be named after me?
5) Will I be expected to send a baby gift?

7) Will I be [...]
Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK)
She supports drilling and doesn’t mind letting that little sniveler Harry Reid know it.
She loves the military and shows it.
She hates pork in the budget and vetoes it.
She recognizes ineffective management and [...]
So all this stuff is like so much Fluffernutter out there. ~ Joe Biden February 2007 ~
I predict sales of MARSHMALLOW FLUFF® are about to skyrocket but don’t call your broker. Although you can’t buy shares of Durkee-Mower, Inc., you can still [...]
I love to read CatHouse Chat. Kat chooses words as carefully as she chooses the right colors for her quilts and the result, in both cases, is a delight to those fortunate enough to view either. She recently quoted The Virginian-Pilot reporting on Barack Obama’s visit to Martinsville:
“I’m [...]
If so, I may be in trouble.
Was John Kerry asked how many houses he owned? Al Gore? I KNOW if Bill Clinton had been asked that question and answered it (truthfully) I’d remember….
[...]He’s young and he’s got a funny name and… he’s not patriotic….. that’s what THEY are going to say. ~ Barack Obama, Henry County, August 20, 2008 ~
The general view was ‘He’d be a great U.S. senator, but he’s not gonna be able to get in.’ The attitude was ‘He’s [...]
According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Chosen One (Barack Obama) has chosen you, too! Unlike his visit to Martinsville, his campaign has announced that he’ll be at John Tyler Community College in Chester, Va. His campaign tried to keep his Martinsville location(s) “undisclosed” but learned [...]
Sen. Barack Obama will hold an invitation-only event Wednesday in economically battered Martinsville, joined by former Gov. Mark R. Warner, who made inroads with rural Virginia voters.
Obama, set to accept the Democratic presidential nomination next week, will meet with workers and families who have been affected [...]
See what’s possible when our information isn’t spoon fed to us? Viva la discussion and viva la Rick Warren!

When Elvis died, my mother went into mourning. I didn’t understand how she could feel so sad about “losing” someone she never had. She’d never met him, never even went to a concert, yet she grieved daily for more than a week.
I understand it now.
Godspeed.

1) It’s a good thing that my dad and his buddies (as well as most people I know) don’t watch MSNBC.
2) Andrea probably best keep her bony ass out of the Bristol Mall.
Sheesh. Some people marry a Fed Chairman and think they own the world.
(Okay, three thoughts came to [...]
Congratulations, Jeff! (I think.)
John Hager conceded.
That’s all I know. Except for it’s crazy loud at the convention and that if you ever need to borrow a cell phone, ask Jim Gilmore’s son, Ashley.
Thanks, Ashley! (I think.)
[...]Instead of being in Richmond this weekend having a big time with my fellow political bloggers at the RPV convention, I’m home hearing about it via borrowed cell phones. Seems most bloggers batteries gave out before the convention started. Business matters kept me in Martinsville but at least I have [...]
SWAC GIRL has an excellent write-up about this story: SUBWAY has launched a writing contest that specifically EXCLUDES home schooled children. Ironically, it has misspelled words (most conspicuous is basket) on the contest Web Site! Lynn sees their omission as plain discrimination.
it could only mean one thing: It’s time for the Womenless Beauty Pageant! Yes, the “Divas of the Night” aka the police, deputies & firemen of Martinsville and Henry County gathered tonight in a fierce competition for the coveted crown as well as to raise [...]
Wherever you go in this world, you’re bound to meet at least one person with ties to Ferrum College.
That’s all I remember the admissions guy saying the day I went to look at the little school nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge. Not only have I carried [...]

No way all four of us could be wrong! Or how ’bout:

This Republican party is a party for free men. Not for blind followers and not for conformists. Back in 1858, Abraham Lincoln said this of the Republican party - and I quote him because he probably could have said it during the last week or so - it was composed [...]
…My fellow Republicans, our cause is too great for any man to feel worthy of it. Our task would be too great for any man, did he not have with him the heart and the hands of this great Republican party. And I promise you tonight that every [...]
Maybe it’s because I have a degree in psychology (would you like fries with yo

At 2:15, it was sunny and dry, 55 degrees with a cold, sharp wind. I was voter number 406 out of 1,364 registered voters. Remind me to get a life so I’ll stop tracking the weather on election days….
