From the Bridge at Kelly’s FordLooking out at the Rappahannock River from the bridge over Kelly’s Ford. The ford was a major crossing site for the armies during the Civil War. A battle was fought near by in March 1863.

Bustling LignumOld country home in central Lignum. The home next door is abandoned as is the building directly across from it. Just behind me where this photo was taken there is a church. That’s about it.

Andy Warhol is Alive and Well In LignumAnother old barn picture with an artistic twist. And to continue the artsy theme a cow poem:Distant Hills The distant hills call to me. Their rolling waves seduce my heart. Oh, how I want to graze in their lush va…

Will this be the number of United States Senators who vote in lockstep with their Fuhrer und Frau anti-woman, anti-life Nancy Pelosi?  Or, will some remain loyal to their country and vote their actual conscience? At the very least, will some remain loyal to their CONSTITUENTS who are made up of BOTH Democrats and Republicans. 
Time will tell.

Once again, for those just joining us, Catherine Crabill was nominated by the 99th House District Republicans to take on incumbent Del. Albert Pollard. Crabill, a member of a militia group in the mid 90’s, believes that the federal government, and not Timothy McVeigh, was responsible for the murder of hundreds of Americans at the […]

As a politician, George Allen had a football surgically grafted to his hand during photo-ops. This was to remind Virginia voters that his dad used to coach the Redskins.
That’s why I agree with Ben Smith’s speculation that Allen’s upcoming book, The Triumph of Character: What Washington Can Learn from the World of Sports, is a […]

Our Washington Post restaurant review came out this last Sunday in the magazine (you can access it here) and the response has been great. Only about 50 restaurants a year get a Sunday review and we are honored that they would include a little wine bar in Fredericksburg in the mix.
We found out a few weeks ago that they were doing an article on us through the arrival of the photographer. A lovely French woman called and said she was with the Post, coming to take pictures and could we have the following dishes ready? Of course we complied, but we still had no idea what the article was about or what section it would appear in. When she told us it was a Sunday review in the magazine, I was in shock. It was more than we could have hoped for, by a large margin. It has been difficult to get top-tier media interested in the Burg for a variety of reasons and this was definitely a top-tier spot. I credit our excellent PR company, a little good luck, and lots of hard work from the whole kybecca staff. Without any of them this would not have happened.

Before I get to the daily menu offerings, let me just say a few words about Kybecca’s Sunday brunch menu: This, my friends, is why you get into your cars and suffer the drive on Interstate 95 to get to Fredericksburg.

Sit outside under the bright red awning, sip a glass of chilled prosecco and dig into a plate of slow-braised corned beef hash topped with a poached egg and a drizzle of vinaigrette (one of Kyle’s home recipes). Or try one of the crisp, yeast-risen waffles sprinkled with local berries. Or a crepe filled with spicy, locally made chorizo and scrambled eggs.

Cheers

So says Sen. Jim Inhofe, from the party of Pres. Ronald Reagan, Sen. Fred Thompson, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Congressman Sonny Bono, and Congressman “Gopher” from The Love Boat. Republicans also tried to recruit Dennis Miller, who worked with Sen. Franken on Saturday Night Live, to run for Senate against Barbara Boxer.
