I voted!\ Did you?
Waldo asked for predictions but apparently, my network is on some sort of blacklist and I can’t post a comment. So, here are my predictions for tomorrow, in no particular order: Jim Webb will beat George Allen, but it’ll be close enough that there will be a recount. Cardin will beat Steele easily, like 10-15 […]
A good editorial from Slate about the “unintended” consequences of the Virginia marriage amendment. Baking bigotry and small-mindedness in our state’s Constitution is a bad idea. It will put undue pressure on families, more of which fall outside the traditional definition of the nuclear family than fall within it.\ Creating great new chasms for people […]
Remember, election day is next Tuesday. No matter what party you’re in, this election is important. Get out there and send a message to whoever it is you’re trying to send a message to.

The only thing you need to know about George Allen is that he votes with the President and the Republican majority […]
“Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?”\ — Ernest Gaines
This whole thing with Mark Foley is insane. Not only was he the head of the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children’s Caucus, but he sponsored more than one bill on child abuse. A 50 year old man was propositioning a page… it looks like more than one. Was it an intern? No. Was it someone […]
Just a thought for a Wednesday morning. For all the Christians out there who support President Bush’s secret torture “program”, think about this: Jesus Christ was a victim of torture and was considered a “terrorist” by the government of his time. Our country has tortured, and knowingly sent to be tortured, at least dozens and […]
Can we agree now that the invasion of Iraq was a bad idea? Nothing that the Administration said would happen has happened: There were no WMD. Saddam had no ties to Al Qaeda. We weren’t greeted as liberators. Fighting them there hasn’t made us safer here. Democracy hasn’t “flourished” in Iraq or been a good […]
