Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see if Catherine Crabill, Republican nominee for the 99th House District seat, was a birther (people who think Pres. Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. because he hasn’t produced a birth certificate…even though he has). The woman thinks that the government blew up the Oklahoma City federal building […]

Whoa doctor.
Daily Progress:
As U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello was considering how to vote on an important piece of climate change legislation in June, the freshman congressman’s office received at least six letters from two Charlottesville-based minority organizations voicing opposition to the measure.
The letters, as it turns out, were forgeries.
“They stole our name. They stole our logo. […]

The Virginia League of Conservation Voters gave Creigh Deeds a 91% rating for the 2009 session. Only Donald McEachin (100%) scored higher among the 40 State Senators in the General Assembly. Sen. McEachin endorsed Deeds for Governor during the 3-way Democratic primary. Sen. Edd Houck scored an 82%.

“Brings total to 2,870 acres of protected coastal habitat.”
RICHMOND – Governor Timothy M. Kaine today announced the purchase of more than a thousand acres for preservation as part of Crow’s Nest Natural Area Preserve in Stafford, Virginia. The $14.2 million deal finalized this week adds 1,100 acres to the 1,770 acres already purchased in the […]

In response, Garrisionville Supervisor Mark Dudenhefer emailed his fellow Republican, blogger Eric Martin, asking him to not engage in personal attacks. His response to Dudenhefer’s email was: but, […]

You can’t make this stuff up. Last night my wife and I watched an episode from the second season of Mad Men, probably the best show on television. The show takes place in 1962 at a Madison Ave. ad agency.
In this particular episode:
Harry calls a friend at CBS to inquire about job openings. There aren’t […]

You may have heard by now that Virgil Goode has decided against seeking a rematch next year with Congressman Tom Perriello (VA-5). I actually don’t agree with the sentiment that this is a bad thing for Perriello. Goode may be a bigot and a joke to a lot of people (like myself), but he won […]

UPDATE:
The only folks on the right, that I’m aware of, to denounce Crabill are conservative bloggers. No Republican leaders or elected officials have said anything, and Catherine Crabill is still listed on the RPV and House GOP websites. And keep in mind these comments are so outrageous that they’ve made headlines as far away as […]
