It’s back to school season, and you know what that means. Every frigging person you meet that knows you have kids and doesn’t know they are homeschooled will ask if they kids are ready to go back to school. I had a doctor’s appt today and I was asked 4 times. The doctor, nurse, lady […]

Here’s a question….Since the commonwealth’s leading Republicans have abandoned Catherine Crabill in the 99th House District, what’s their stance on the reelection campaign of incumbent Albert Pollard? (Pollard for Delegate)

Introducing the Catherine Crabill blacklist.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 18th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Because these people shouldn’t be allowed to vote, much less be involved in a serious political party. And these people should be made aware in absolute terms that their support for this embarrassment of a candidate will be remembered and there will be repercussions for it.
Feel free to add names in the comments section for […]



Hopefully Allen Webb steers her campaign right into the Chesapeake Bay.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 18th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Or the Potomac, or the Rappahannock for that matter. According to a press release from Catherine Crabill’s campaign:
R. Allen Webb, of King George, chairman of the 99th Legislative District Republican Committee, has been named to head the grass-roots steering committee of Catherine Crabill’s GOP campaign for the district’s seat in the Virginia House of Delegates […]



Cash for clunkers: Nothing like using Chinese money to boost Japanese businesses.

The US’s cash-for-clunkers scheme, designed to bolster […]

Our real reason for choosing Harrisonburg for our road trip was to stay and eat at the Joshua Wilton House. My husband and I have been visiting inns about once or twice a year since our youngest left for college, and we’ve been to quite a few in Virg…



New Cheap Trick

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Aug 17th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

No, this is not a post about Republican PR operations. Apparently Cheap Trick has a new album coming out. Surprisingly, the first single sort of rocks. I would never have expected it. Classic rock era Cheap Trick rocked. Hair metal era Cheap Trick was all about the power ballad.
