Time for a variation of Godwin’s Law and other logical fallacies from people supporting Lippa’s railroading of Benjamin Boyd.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jul 30th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

For those not familiar with Godwin’s Law, it states: “As a Usenet [a message board-style system] discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.” It was also used in the ye olde days (back when you had to carry the electrons on your back!) to determine when a Usenet […]



Crabill Watch: Catherine Crabill gets the coveted endorsement from the conspiracy theory clearing house Prison Planet.com.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jul 25th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Not a real surprise, right?
But a couple of words do not probably describe the type of folks that are behind Prison Planet.com. It isn’t just Oklahoma City Bombing Truthers (OKC Truthers) and United Nations one-government nuts like Crabill, it’s 9/11 Truther (people that believe that the Bush, or the Jews, or combination there of were […]



Shakeup at the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office: Lieutenant Colonel Mike Hall resigns “effective immediately”!

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jul 25th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

From Portsia Smith’s “Caroline Crossroads” blog:
Talked to Sheriff Tony Lippa and he has confirmed that Lt. Col. Mike Hall resigned from the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office effective immediately Tuesday.
Lippa said Hall will focus on his lawn care business, B & H Site Improvements.
No other details are available at this time.
I’m sure I’m not the only […]



Speaking of disclosing convictions on an application: Did a Caroline County Sheriff’s Office sergeant disclose his involvement in the tear gas attack of a gay bar when he was hired?

Prologue: I had originally planned on publishing this post on Monday but I deferred posting for one reason. The person involved, Travis Nutter, was one of the investigators which worked on the Joseph Beverley murder case for which John Wayne Peck was on trial for earlier this week. Since I did not know if Nutter […]



Carter had Begin and Sadat, Clinton had Barak and Arafat; Obama has…a Harvard professor and a cop?

I speak of the Camp David Accords between President Jimmy Carter, Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat, and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin back in ‘78 which eventually resulted in a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel and the failed 2008 Camp David Summit between President Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Minster Ehud Barak, and that — […]



Gee, thanks Eric: Cantor opposes privatization of interstate rest stops.

Delegate Bob Marshall has been on the frontlines of this issue and has been keeping his mailing list up-to-date on it:
Congressional Efforts
Congressman Frank Wolf offered an amendment to the Transportation Appropriations Act to keep Virginia rest stops open by allowing Virginia, like other states, to contract with private restaurants to operate the rest stops and […]

Tip: If you don’t want to be facing a two-count felony indictment, you better not apply for a job that a relative of Sheriff Tony Lippa has also applied for.

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

I previously coyly mentioned a rumor that’s been going around as to why Sheriff Tony Lippa has declared a vendetta against Caroline County High School football coach Ben Boyd. I also stated that I wasn’t going to repeat the rumor at that time because it hadn’t been confirmed by anyone yet. Well, this portion of […]



Nothing like some rampant nepotism to make a sheriff’s office great.

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

I speak of the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office specifically. There are at least two blatant and egregious examples of nepotism that has been demonstrated by hiring practices in that office and an additional examples that at least has mitigating circumstances. I’m not going to directly identify the employees — I personally don’t have a problem […]



Crabill Watch: “We have the chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box.”

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jul 16th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Actually the statement before the quote I have in the title is probably the worst:

H/t: Fred2Blue, Not Larry Sabato.
And the bad thing is these Republicans in the 99th district can’t backpedal now and say they didn’t know what they were getting. They knew full well the kind of comments she had made previously as well […]
