Palin to Elevate Her “Fight for Alaskans” By Quitting as Governor

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 3rd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

When I hear a statement like that, coming from a woman candidate, with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism, or maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, “Man, that doesn’t do us any good, women in politics, women in general, wanting to progress this country.” I don’t think […]



The Political Genius That is Jerome Armstrong

Jerome Armstrong on Sept. 4, 2008:
Palin.
We have met someone that we will be doing battle against for a decade or more. Seriously. I’ve never seen a woman, or a man for that matter, speak that way, prime time, national, convention, live, ever. She blows away Hillary Clinton. Sorry, but that’s what it is. Palin’s deft […]



Independence Day weather looking like a warm April day

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Jul 3rd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

With the current East Coast upper air trough in place (see previous post) the atmosphere reminds me of a very warm April day. The trough is keeping relatively low humidity air over us, and the result is fairly clear air and blue skies between the mino…

Today is the first Friday that I will be featuring a cat and a dog that are up for adoption at the Fredericksburg SPCA.  I am so pleased that they have allowed me to help promote the needs of animals in their shelter.  I will feature one cat and one dog every other Friday.  The […]



White Supremacists See Tea Parties as Recruitment Opportunity

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 2nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Spotsylvania, Stafford

I saw a sign outside the local Republican campaign headquarters advertising a July 4th ‘Tea Party’ protest, right next to ‘Bob McDonnell for Governor‘ and ‘Susan Stimpson for Supervisor’.
Anti-Defamation League:
On Stormfront, the most popular white supremacist Internet forum, members have discussed becoming local organizers of the “Tea Parties” and finding ways to involve themselves in […]



The RPV Wants to Talk About Mentors?!

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 2nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Apparently Tim Kaine is Creigh Deeds’ mentor. Yeah, it’s news to me too. And not only that but, according to the RPV, Sen. Deeds is “throwing his mentor under a bus” for some reason.
Fortunately Bob McDonnell doesn’t have to invent mentors, he has the real thing (emphasis added):
In an article discussion suspect donations to McDonnell’s […]



Roanoke Station Rejects Inaccurate Republican Attack Ad

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 2nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The NRCC is really pleased with themselves for getting a television ad up on the air attacking Rep. Tom Perriello, just days after he voted in favor of the Climate & Energy bill. But if this legislation is really that bad, can’t you just let the facts speak for themselves?
Factcheck.org:
The ad says the bill will […]



Preserving the Randomness of Mind

By From http://roadsdivergedwood.blogspot.com/ • Jul 2nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Photography.Local

“To dare everyday to be irreverent and bold. To dare to preserve the randomness of mind which in children produces strange and wonderful new thoughts and forms. To continually scramble the familiar and bring the old into new juxtapositions.”Gordon …

….In ContextMudd Tavern is now an Italian restaurant (off to the left) with a modern addition that is not in context with the original house; located in this rather tacky intersection. Something went horribly wrong here.
