VJP: Cuccinelli budget amendment passes thanks to Colgan
Courtesy of Vivian Paige, we hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth about Democratic party discipline: OK, but if the D majority doesn’t act like one, what good does it do? Comments about irony and just desserts aside, Colgan took a principled stand. After Kaine yanked abstinence funding due to a “budget shortfall”, it only stands to [...]
PWConservative: Hispanic Voters Now The Most Republican Voting Bloc in Virginia?
Possibly , though I would argue that we do a terrible job (disservice?) by not reaching out to the Hispanic community more constructively.
Modernism vs. Forgiveness
This isn’t exactly the nicest way to get the point across, but it does show the juxtaposition between wishy-washy “find ways to deal with your guilt constructively” modernism and absolute truths; the contrast between accomodation and forgiveness.
Double-Duty Designers Cost Less
Heck yeah! From About.com’s Desktop Publishing Blog: Is it really cheaper to pay one person instead of two? If both the print designer and the Web designer charged the same rates there could still be an advantage to working with just one person because there would most certainly be overlap of time/brainstorming/design of common [...]
Political Pornography?
Courtesy of the Hillary Clinton campaign, that’s precisely what we have here. The photo is one of Obama in traditional Somali dress. The insinuation is the reader’s to decide. Oddly enough, one gets the feeling (as a Republican anyhow) that many of us are rushing to the defense of Obama more and more often — not because [...]
Nader In?
Looks like it’s true… though I really wonder whether this would make any sense if the Democratic nomination goes to Barack Obama. Perhaps it’s just me, but the politics of the two men seem rather similar.
Does the Obama Bandwagon Stop Here?
As I’m watching (sort of) the Wisconsin and Washington primary results via Politico, I can’t help but look ahead at Ohio and Pennsylvania — both with double-digit leads for Hillary. Obama will more than likely carry Wisconsin tonight. But with that win, the wave has all the momentum it can carry. [...]
Daily Progress: What Housing Bubble?
Brian McNeill over at the Charlottesville Daily Progress does a quick survey of the Charlottesville market, and all indicators seem to be pointing towards a slowdown, but not a bust: Over the previous two years, the number of new residential homes in the region fell by a whopping 42 percent, as the number of permits fell [...]
I'm sure the anti-Semitic Left is going to LOVE this!
French President Sarkozy proposed allowing schoolchildren to “adopt” a victim of the Holocaust, so they could learn about the history. The reaction? Not what you’d expect… or sadly, precisely what you’d expect from the reactionary leftists in France. From Reuters: In a speech praising faith that also drew fire from secularists, Sarkozy told France’s Jewish community on [...]
Hillary: I'M NOT DEAD YET!
Hillary Clinton has a 21-point lead in Ohio; a 16-point lead in Pennsylvania according to the NYPost and Quinnipac University polling numbers. RCP’s aggregate polling numbers say this outlook isn’t bull: Ohio and Pennsylvania both look to be comfortably within the Hillary camp, though Wisconsin looks as if it will shape up to be a [...]
