Veterans Day 2009
As our nation is engaged in two wars, I was saddened to see that the front page of our local paper paid more attention to the death of a sniper than to those who have serve and who have served. There was a single front page story – and it was more about the individual [...]

Get’em John
UPDATE: The video has been removed. Here is a transcript that I’ve seen in a number of places around the internet
JAMES BROWN: John, you have been pretty doggone outspoken on the Washington Redskins and what is not working. Maybe it is an obvious question, but why so passionate? Why so intense in [...]

VA Beach Sheriff’s Candidates
Recently, the two candidates for sheriff in Virginia Beach were interviewed on WAVY TV 10.
“Mr. Cuccinelli’s bigotry”
So says The Washington Post editorial board.
Putting aside what Mr. Cuccinelli has to say about homosexuals when he’s not trying so hard to be polite, let’s call his comments what they are: bigotry. Bigotry is as pernicious today, applied to homosexuals, as it was a century ago or less, when immigrants and minorities were its [...]

“How can we trust Chris Stolle?”
We can’t.
As if that weren’t enough, both The Virginian-Pilot (not available online) and the Richmond Times Dispatch had articles on Stolle’s primary source of funds for this campaign.
Stolle, brother of the state senator who is likely Virginia Beach’s next sheriff, has received $326,000.
That puts him at the top of the RSLC pledge class — and, [...]

Fact check: Mathieson ad on Villanueva
Except one small problem: when given the opportunity to cut his pay, Virginia Beach Councilman, now the Republican challenger to incumbent Democrat Bobby Mathieson, basically punted.
Last February, fellow council member Bill Steph proposed a 25% pay cut for the region’s highest paid council.
“It’s not like we’re phoning it in,” said Councilman Ron Villanueva. “Every week, [...]
