QandO: Generalizations vs. Stereotypes
Great read from Jon Henke: A little background: a generalization is “a statement about a class based on an examination of some of its members”. So far, so good. Greenwald has certainly noted enough partisanship among bloggers on the right. But that’s not all there is to it, because while it is “based on a finite [...]
FLS: Route 3 bypass re-emerges
The prospects of a Rt. 3 Bypass have re-emerged: A suggested route for the bypass has it starting at the I-95 exit for the welcome center, running parallel to Route 3 and ending near Riverbend High School.

What Happens if Miller Beats Webb?
It’s beyond obvious at this point that most of the Virginia blogosphere (lefties) are supporting former Republican-turned-Democrat James Webb. Even Not Larry Sabato — once renown for objective political analysis — is getting into the feeding frenzy. The problem? Polls are showing Miller to be the stronger candidate.

Walk Through
Heading out to Fluvanna to do the walk through this morning. Yippie-kai-aye…
Can you be fired for Web surfing?
No. But… (B)efore you rush off to eBay or ESPN.com, consider this: The judge ruled that surfing can be allowed only “as long as those activities do not interfere with a worker’s overall performance,” as News.com reported. As we read it, that means a boss could conceivably still argue that browsing is an actionable offense [...]
