  • Stimulus FTW

    —Where's Eric Cantor?

    Call it a zombie lie, and Eric Cantor is its zombie liar. Since he successfully pressured every Republican representative to vote against fixing the economy, Cantor has been claiming that the stimulus has “failed.”  Despite the long-term nature of it, and despite the obvious signs of the economy rectifying itself after [...]

  • Don’t Even Talk About Health Care!

    —Great Blue Heron

    That’s what they’re saying. That’s what 40 unanimous Republican Senators, and any Democratic or “independent” Senator who might join them, are saying today by voting against even debating the Senate health care reform bill. We don’t want to talk about it. These grown men and women are saying that the prospect of [...]

  • A VB Dems Legislative Agenda

    —VB Dems

    Let's do it! I'll develop our environmental agenda. Dominic, can you do education? I'll ask Vivian about hers. What else?

    Then let's draft it in the form of a petition and get every VB Democrat out there to sign it. We'll then deliver it to our Republican delegation and when they' [...]

  • US Chamber Does China's Dirty Work

    —Blue Commonwealth

    Those of us who have been puzzled by the over-the-top opposition of the US Chamber of Commerce to any effort to encourage the development of alternative energy in America, and their ranting against attempts to deal with climate change, may have found the answer in an article by Robert F. [...]

  • Party of No’s Enforcer

    —Where's Eric Cantor?

    I wrote yesterday about the pathetic charade Eric Cantor engaged in over the “doc fix,” the permanent measure to make sure Medicare doesn’t slash payments to doctors.  Cantor and other Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee supported it before, yet for political reasons they decided yesterday  to oppose the [...]

  • Still Crazy

    —SLANTblog



    The avalanche of happy birthday wishes I received yesterday via Facebook, and otherwise, calls for an answer. After saying "thanks," my cousin Ray will supply the rest. [...]

  • Opinion, please: “Black Fur-iday”

    —Vivian J. Paige

    Number of comments: 15
    It seems that animal shelters find black cats and dogs difficult to be adopted. In a play on words, the Norfolk Animal Care Center is holding a “sale” on the animals, to coincide with Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. The “sale” provides for adoption fees [...]

  • Jon Stewart: We Are Not a "Fragile" Country

    —Blue Virginia


    That's the fundamental - albeit oversimplified - difference between Progressives and Conservatives right there. Progressives believe America is truly strong, particularly when it lives up to its highest values, and can do great things if it puts its mind to them. Conservatives fear that America is "fragile" and must [...]

  • Can You Say "Shellacked"?

    —VB Dems

    This is an interactive map produced by VPAP which even on its surface shows how Democrats got shellacked. "The analysis shows Republican Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell carried 75 of 100 House districts and 29 of 40 Senate Districts", they write. Geez, in Virginia Beach Bobbo won by over 19%. [...]

  • Ten Things To Be Depressed About

    —VB Dems

    1. Losing Joe Bouchard
    2. Having Bob McDonnell as my Governor
    3. Having Ken "Environmentalists are Watermelons" Kook as my Attorney General
    4. Knowing Glenn Nye doesn't stand a chance in 2010
    5. Knowing VB Mayor Will Sessoms is a puppet to Frank Wagner and Bob McDonnell
    6. Knowing that' [...]

  • What? Burger King Was Busy?

    —~ H O V ~

    Reportedly, supporters of real estate developer and candidate for Congress from the Fifth District Laurence Verga munched roast beef sandwiches and curly fries, as he talked to them about his candidacy on Thursday. Brian McNeil of the Daily Progress reports that Verga stated that he would never raise taxes, serve no [...]

  • Finding the Law That Governs Us

    —Blacknell.net

    From an email to a listserv I’m on:

    [E]arlier this week, we extended Google Scholar to allow anyone anywhere to find and read full text legal opinions from U.S. federal and state district, appellate and supreme courts. We hope that this addition to Google Scholar will empower the average citizen by [...]

  • Public Trials and Military Commissions

    —Blue Commonwealth

    In the near future, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM, if you will) will be tried for his alleged masterminding of the attacks on 9/11. Attorney General Eric Holder has come under considerable fire for deciding to try KSM and other terrorists in Federal court rather than relying on military commissions.

    Why is [...]

  • How we did in Hampton Roads in November

    —Vivian J. Paige

    Number of comments: 1
    The Virginia Public Access Project today updated their website with the party performance data for statewide candidates for the House of Delegates and Senate districts. A lot of red on that house map to the left (click to enlarge). I took a look at the contested races in Hampton Roads where [...]

    Courtesy of #acornfacts, I bet you never knew that...

    *"ACORN took the prizes out of Cracker Jack."
    *"ACORN burned down the orphanage in Little House on the Prairie"
    *"ACORN made #Oprah quit her TV show"
    *"ACORN cost Charlie Brown the election for class president."

  • Doc Fits

    —Where's Eric Cantor?

    Number of comments: 2
    In case you weren’t paying attention, Congress today passed a “doc fix” for health care, preventing a 21% cut in Medicare payments to doctors.  This is what’s considered “a good thing.”  Unless of course you’re Eric Cantor and trying to make a political point. See, Eric Cantor supported it several months [...]

  • Frank Wagner and Uranium Mining

    —VB Dems

    Always knew there was something wrong about Sen. Frank Wagner.

    Rumor has it that the glowing Frank here is asserting pressure on VB Mayor Sessoms to overturn the City's resolution opposed to uranium mining in Virginia.

    Mr. Glow Man here has been so far successful in getting a state [...]
