Catherine Crabill: 9/11 Truther?

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Feb 14th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

There’s been a lot of buzz in the blogosphere this week after Glenn Beck went off on Debra Medina, a Republican Gubernatorial candidate in Texas. Beck exposed Media as being both a “Birther” (someone that believes President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States) and a “9/11 Truther”, someone that believes that Bush, or […]



Kenny Golden (Republican candidate in the second district): People in the military are prohibited from having sex.

Oh, really Kenny?:
Virginia Beach, VA – The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, stated on Tuesday his support of allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.
2nd District Congressional Candidate Kenny Golden, who served with Admiral Mullen and knows him well, vehemently disagrees.
“While Admiral Mullen is a trusted and […]



Paul Warner Powell to get the chair on March 18th.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 27th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
I’m assuming he’s getting the chair, he chose the chair the last time he was scheduled for execution. If, for some reason, he changes his mind, he’ll get the liquid styrofoam instead.



SCOTUS to Paul Warner Powell: Let us know how that execution works out for you.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Not really, but one can dream.
The Supreme Court of the United States has declined to hear Paul Warner Powell’s case, so his execution should be scheduled (again) shortly.
Special thanks to commenter “Fred” for keeping me up-to-date on his case’s status at the Supreme Court in the comments section of the Paul Warner Powell page of […]



Dave Marsden admits fraudulent voter registration.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A month ago Dave Marsden was saying that he was living in the 37th district, now he’s saying he will “eventually” move to the district.
In this vain, I’m hereby announcing my intention to run against State Senator Edd Houck (D-17th). I don’t live in the district currently and I more than likely won’t be in […]



Donna Blanton’s petition for appeal hearing granted by the Supreme Court of Virginia.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 24th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Why? Because apparently the prosecutor isn’t supposed to refute the defendant’s bizarre arguement that the prosecution is supposed to do the defense’s job.
Or something like that. You can read the defendant’s appeal here and the Commonwealth’s response here.
Frankly, Bob McDonnell needs to clear the Supreme Court of these idiots. That’s what you get when you […]



Two universities encouraging Facebook spam.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 22nd, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

From my VCU e-mail:
1. Facebook Face-off: VCU vs. GMU
Virginia Commonwealth University and George Mason University – Virginia’s largest universities and CAA rivals – are going head-to-head to see who can bring in the most Facebook fans. The competition tipped off at noon on Jan. 19 and runs until noon on Feb. 9. The school with […]



“Tea partiers” in the 5th against Eric Cantor before they were for him?

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 17th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Last week, the various far-righters in the 5th Congressional District were incensed that Eric Cantor would dare to contribute $7,000 (through his campaign committee and his personal funds) to the Congressional campaign of State Senator Robert Hurt. These little tirades included throwing around words like “RINO” and whatnot with allegations that Cantor was not a […]



Virgil “North American Union” Goode running in the 5th?

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 17th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Looks like those crazy teabaggers are trying to draft Virgil Goode according to The WaPo.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Goode decided to run since he’s been using his campaign money to pay for campaign stuff through September (the end of the last reporting period), including phone and internet service, web hosting, and photography. […]



Tip: If 96.17% of your campaign funding comes from yourself, don’t brag about your cash-on-hand.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 17th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Because you look like a dork when you do. And this is a tip that Laurence Verga needs to take to heart:
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA – It is clear from the State Senator’s [Robert Hurt’s] finance report that he is the preferred choice of Richmond lobbyists and Washington insiders. However, their support will not buy the […]
