Speaking of Catherine Crabill, did she forget to file her campaign finance report this month?

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

It’s neither listed on the State Board of Elections’ website nor on the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP).
Of course, her report from the previous filing period was noticeably missing certain expenditures that should have been included in the report but I haven’t had a chance to write a post about that yet.

Right now, Steve Shannon is attacking Ken Cuccinelli for failing to support a bill of Shannon’s from back in 2007 that Shannon claims would have prevented the pending Charlie-Foxtrot regarding forensic techs being required to testify for drunk driving cases.

Un-freakin’-believable: Paul Warner Powell gets a stay of execution.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jul 13th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

From Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s blog:
Paul W. Powell will not be executed tomorrow night.
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts granted a stay of execution today pending review of his petition for a writ of certiorari to the high court.
The three-sentence order indicates that Powell shouldn’t put but so much faith in the stay, however.

To that end, the Texas Medical Center reports that one of its researchers has been awarded $3.7 million grant by the Army to create an anti-smoking video game for military personnel.

From a recent story (get your own link):
Del. Chris Peace, R-Hanover, (whose district includes part of Caroline County) and Del. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Woodbridge, (whose district includes Fauquier County) also are unchallenged.
Yes, while Chris Peace’s district — the 97th— does include a portion of Caroline County, it also includes a portion of Spotsylvania County as indicated […]

He asked for it and we’re more than happy to oblige (via Richmond Times-Dispatch):
Paul Warner Powell, set to be executed July 14 for the 1999 slaying of a 16-year-old girl, has chosen electrocution as his means of death.
An avowed racist, Powell fatally stabbed Stacie Lynn Reed in her Manassas-area home after the two argued about […]
