After eight long years, the war on the English language has finally come to an end (and is currently looking for work in Dallas, TX).

UPDATE: I’m with Josh Marshall on the GOP response. Here’s Gov. Jindal discussing religion:

Del. Albert Pollard, former Director of the VA Sierra Club and the Chespeake Bay Foundation’s Legislator of the Year, explains why he opposed the recent restaurant smoking ban that passed the House of Delegates. Mark Cole also opposed the bill, while Dels. Howell and Orrock voted in favor of it.
Often in public life being “against” a bill or “for” […]

Speculation continues to build that Val Kilmer is weighing a run for Governor in the Land of Enchantment.
Greatest idea ever? I think so. Who else is going to protect us from Tom Cruise? Lt. Governor Diane Denish? Not bloody likely.

Someone from the Moran campaign was on hand at Sunday’s meeting of the Stafford County Democratic Committee to record former Webb for Senate campaign manager Steve Jarding. But, because the red light was also on while Terry McAuliffe’s wife Dorothy was speaking….
Not Larry Sabato:

OK, maybe not.
A few weeks ago I wrote that I found it odd when Mary Washington Hospital asked me what religion I was while getting checked into the ER. I asked why and they didn’t give me a reason, so I said forget it. If they’d given me any reason for wanting to know, I would have been happy.

The News Record:
(House Minority Leader Ward) Armstrong said there were about half a dozen other delegates who witnessed the exchange between the two Republicans. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Armstrong, who joined the House in 1992, the same year as Marshall. “I’ve never seen a member curse another like that. You’re supposed to […]

The same reason anyone else gets ahead in their job. Listen to your boss. In Albert’s case, all 71,978 of them.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Delegate Albert Pollard stands beside the stack of written survey responses from constituents of the 99th District. Delegate Pollard has received more than twice as many mailed responses than any other delegate, as well as more […]

For President’s Day, the AP asked 65 historians to rank the U.S. Presidents. There’s much to debate obviously, like George W. Bush as high as 36. Below Hoover and Nixon, so I won’t protest too much.
History is the best judge. Harry Truman is the most unpopular President we’ve ever had, since scientific polling started post-FDR. Now he’s one of […]

Stafford Co. Board of Supervisors Chairman George Schwartz is running against Speaker Bill Howell in the 28th HD. The full press release is below.
Barack Obama captured 50.2% of the vote in the 28th last November, a district that includes the city of Fredericksburg and part of Stafford County. Although Schwartz is the Stafford BOS Chairman, […]

The three Democratic candidates for Governor, plus Bob McDonnell, try to be funny.
It’s great that McDonnell acknowledges that Pat Robertson is slightly insane. But the fact that the Attorney General and GOP nominee for Governor graduated from Robertson’s Regent University (a tier 4 law school…that’s the worst), makes it downright scary.
