At The Jawa Report:
AP photographer Rahmatullah Naikzad was a witness to a Taliban murder. The two women were alleged to have been prostitutes who served Western clientèle.
[…]
This page from the AP seems to suggest that Rahmatullah Naikzad also took a snuff video of the two women being murdered. [UPDATE: Yes, he did. Video […]



The Richmond Times-Dispatch can’t see the forest for the trees.

Or they’re just incompetent; take your pick.
Consider a recent “news story” from Jeff Schapiro about the recent General Assembly special session. First the intro:
Shame on our short-timer governor, Tim Kaine. How dare he berate the legislature for doing nothing on transportation.
On the contrary, the General Assembly was enormously productive during the six days in June […]

Beers of the July FABTS Meeting

Beach and Harmony

By From http://kybecca.blogspot.com/ • Jul 14th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Every year we head to the beach, our SUV packed to its wobbling limit for a week of sand, sun and debauchery (or what passes for debauchery now that we have kids). And every year my husband says something like — do you really need all this stuff?

This year I think he will win the packing/loading/unpacking arguments, since a Prius has replaced one of the SUVs and will be the official trip car from here on out.

But — I will still make room for a case of wine from kybecca. Think about this folks, as you head to your beach house. Great wine, your favorite bottles, discounted by the half case or case. No shopping worries when you finally arrive at your vacation — where the grocery and wine shop mark ups are often quite high.

A bottle on hand to open when you get there! And — my guy never objects to packing the wine.

I love it when people on the right decide to trash things they literally do not understand.
Blogs can be entertaining and informative, but readers should exercise caution. Many bloggers serve hidden masters.
Journalists, real journalists, follow strict rules about conflicts of interest. They do not take money or gifts from groups they might cover. They also […]



Stafford business owner calls for grassroots meeting in response to BPOL tax

By From http://rappahannockred.wordpress.com • Jul 14th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Stafford

I received this as a comment on my right-wing liberal blog from Crissy Sharon, owner of the Mainstreet Grill and Bar in Stafford County.  She was reacting to the Stafford Board of Supervisor’s non-Republicans imposing a BPOL tax.  After looking it over, I decided that rather than a comment, it should be a post all its […]
