@fburgnews just testing to see if this works

…then they came for our donuts. Really, is the entire right wing smoking crack? These people are just fucking nuts. I’m embarrassed to have ever been associated with them.
I wonder if there is room in Canada for me?

wow – while working at hyperion you can hear a lot of interesting and high-powered conversations…

From experience, it can be very easy to not even recognize that some of our fellow neighbors live in poverty. Pointing fingers as to why they barely, if at all, get by is useless, as blame does not fill stomaches or clothe children.

Amy Flowers Umble writes in today’s paper that 300 families used the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank last month. Even more astonishing is that over 400 children – read that again – 400 children are considered homeless in our region.

For those that do recognize the need and wish to help out by donating to the local Goodwill or Salvation Army stores, doing so after-hours will subject the items to theft. Thefts at the Salvation Army store steals profits that are used to help those in need.

For example, the oak furniture stolen at 7:30 p.m. probably would have sold for about $100, Schweining said. The Salvation Army could have used that money to feed a family of four, she said.

The thrift store helps the community in various ways, said Capt. Michael Harris of the Salvation Army’s Fredericksburg Corps.

Donated items are either given to needy people or sold at the thrift store. If sold, 100 percent of the proceeds support the agency’s efforts at feeding, clothing and sheltering those in need, Schweining said.

So, watch out when donating – make sure it’s done when the store is open.

Black Velvet Bruce Li has a great summary of Jim Gilmore’s policy positions and failed attempts in political planning to endow him with the senate seat by some kind of predestined entitlement.
While Jim Gilmore is widely respected among Republicans in Virginia, and I believe with pretty good reason, he’s not someone who has been able to […]

We went to the Rappahannock Pops Orchestra’s traditional Memorial Day concert on Monday evening, a great way to end the holiday weekend. They played the usual mix of light classical pieces and popular medleys, with heavy emphasis on all the patriotic…

I read it on the Internet, so it must be true.
It would be more interesting to see a survey break it down by type of beer. Would craft beer drinkers lean Obama while corporate swill drinkers lean McCain? Or would it be the other way around?
