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.

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

Not that I have anything against the Chinese or Japanese — alright, I might have something against the Chinese government — but it’s absolutely hilarious that the United States government is using Chinese money (from the debt they buy) to boost sales of Japanese businesses (from the Financial Times):
The US’s cash-for-clunkers scheme, designed to bolster […]



My thoughts in re Catherine Crabill.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 15th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It looks like some of the state Republican bigwigs have finally realized how bad having someone like Catherine Crabill as a Republican nominee is according to The WaPo:
No, Bob McDonnell is not attending an upcoming fundraiser with Republican House of Delegates candidate Catherine Crabill. Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling won’t be there either. Attorney general candidate […]



Seriously, who’s Bob Dylan?

He’s the guy that did a version of “All Along The Watchtower” before Hendrix did his version, right?



In case you missed it, I’ve been posting quite a bit on Virginia Virtucon.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 14th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I still haven’t decided what will be posted where. Maybe state-wide stuff on VV, regional stuff cross-posted, and local stuff here?
Anyway, recent posts that you might have missed:

Caroline County schools make adequate yearly progress (AYP); Caroline Middle School still conditionally accredited.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 14th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

According to Department of Education data compiled by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Lewis & Clark Elementary School doesn’t have an accreditation status according to RT-D’s data. I’m guessing that’s because the school hasn’t been opened long enough for the state to make an accreditation decision. I think the state has to have three years worth of data […]



Perfect example of why you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the Internet.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 12th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

That moron Ben Tribbett at “Not Larry Sabato” (NLS) posted a picture today that purported to show a Confederate flag being displayed in a Bob McDonnell booth at a gun show.
The problem? The Confederate flag belonged to a Confederate memorabilia dealer that was positioned beside McDonnell’s booth. The Washington Post did the fact-checking that Tribbett […]



More gang graffiti in Port Royal: “Duece” strikes again.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 5th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I got this picture via the series of tubes from my brother (shameless plug: check out his own two hate-blogs, On The Right and Orange, VA Independence Day Tea Party). It was taken yesterday, you can see in the background Shiloh Baptist Church and its cemetery:
