Seinfeld redux for Gov. Kaine

First, there’s this excellent portrait of Gov. Tim Kaine on Write Side.
And this hilarious commentary on the governor’s leadership by NLS.
But I would like to make my own offering as Sen. Saslaw and Gov. Kaine talk about Del. Moran behind his back:

Brush With Greatness

I spent this July 4th morning washing my car and watching a fascinating documentary on the History Channel about Benjamin Franklin (who, I’m sorry to say to my fellow Virginians, is my favorite Founding Father). A cookout and fireworks will come later (assuming the pyrotechnics don’t get rained out).
As I have tried to do […]

To your good health…

And that of Mother Nature, of course…
Apparently, eating crickets is a good alternative to pesticides. At least, so says London’s Evening Standard.

‘You […]

Henry Jones, Jr. (R-Indiana)

Ok, so he may not be from Indiana, but over at NRO’s Media Blog, they at least seem to think Indy’s a Republican for the following reasons:
1. He’s a University of Chicago guy
2. Calls Russians “Reds”
3. Q: “Any last words, Dr. Jones?” A: “I like Ike.”
Watch out for the next film: Indiana Jones and the […]

VP Madness: Round 2

Unfortunately, our own Eric Cantor got knocked out in the 1st Round of this competition, but there are still plenty of interesting matchups to choose from, like Michael Steele v. Bobby Jindal and Mike Huckabee v. Condi Rice. 
Voting for Round 2 ends today and Round 3 starts tomorrow, so keep going back you political junkies!

Flower Feelings

Swiss experts say plants have rights too
Plants need protection from maltreatment and pollution, government experts said on Monday.
You will be relieved to know that these Swiss experts are cool with genetic altering of plant life — as long as the plant’s reproductive capacity isn’t diminished. Seriously.
Although the news is slightly old, I couldn’t resist […]
