By From http://fred2blue.com • Aug 10th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Who’s the moderate in this race?
Bob McDonnell: the guy who opposes abortion, even in cases of rape or incest?
Or Creigh Deeds: who’s been endorsed by 8 former GOP legislators (including Sen.  John Chichester) who served alongside both men for years in the General Assembly?

There’s a LOT of anger and vitriol in politics right now. With a 400% increase in Presidential death threats (an average of 30 a day), the Secret Service is already stretched thin enough as it is. Now members of Congress are getting similar threats on their life. Sarah Palin recently told America that the President’s […]

This is a slow motion clip of video I shot the night of May 13th as we were watching a storm south of us in Oklahoma. We didn’t know it at the time but this storm turned out to be tornadic. After playing with the clip and some video frame grabs I thi…

Major “hotness” approaches

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Aug 8th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Local weather forecasts for tomorrow are abuzz with phrases like “hottest day of the year” and warbling alarms of heat advisories and excessive heat warnings. Guess what? It’s typical Mid-Atlantic August weather, so why the hyperbole? One reason I c…



Vegging Out

By From http://fred2blue.com • Aug 8th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A fortnightly rant, FL-S style Bulldog Edition.

What is it about the first week of August that finds people so…vegged out?
Is it that August 1-8 is the consolation vacation week that so many overworked, underpaid shlubs worker bees force themselves to take because they have neither the financial means nor the sustained interest to take that long-promised family trip to […]

RTD Columnist: ‘Bullet box’ has no place in U.S. democracy

By From http://fred2blue.com • Aug 8th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I don’t agree with everything Richmond Times-Dispatch columnist Michael Paul Williams writes, in terms of his views on the 2nd amendment, but he does make a few good points. Catherine Crabill and company routinely invoke the founding fathers and the American Revolution when defending her controversial comments. Funny how they conveniently forget to compare themselves […]



Remember When Comparing the President to Hitler Was Frowned Upon?

Jews sure as hell do. We’re also wondering why Eric Cantor thinks that it’s OK as long as that President is a Democrat? There are 45 Jewish members of Congress, and Cantor is the only Republican in that group. And not just a Republican, but the House Minority Whip and a possible candidate for President […]
