Sometimes an outside source explains it well. Here are some thoughts from the Restoration Fund (former Governor Bob McDonnell’s legal defense fund): Late last night, Gov. McDonnell’s legal team filed a brief to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals making a strong case that Gov. McDonnell remain free on bond during his appeal. In the […]

I wanted this true story on the record as a tribute to the character and kindness of Mr. Cub – Ernie Banks. I am a Cubs fan. Since 1969. When I read in the newspaper that they hadn’t won the pennant since 1945. Although the Cubs have been in the postseason since 1969, (Most notably […]

Can UKIP actually WIN the May 2015 UK General Election? It seems slim. And it probably won’t happen without a game changer. Yet, there is a game changer.

My post on industrial hemp caused a minor furor – I had said that if Dels. Peace, Fowler and Adams were for it I would take a chance. Tom White heard from the delegate’s office on hemp. So I heard about HB 1666 directly from the delegate himself. He was explaining how it works. Here […]

I had the pleasure today to meet Jason Amatucci. Jason is the founder of the Virginia Industrial Hemp Coalition. Now I found a bill (HB1277) that authorizes Virginia to allow the legal harvesting of industrial hemp when the Federal Government authorizes it. Industrial hemp is not marijuana. But it is the same plant designed to […]

Editor’s Note: Sandy emailed me yesterday about endorsing Walton. Due to other issues, I wasn’t able to research Walton in time to make this a blog endorsement, but as Walton is the Republican candidate, I would recommend voters cast their vote for him. It should be an interesting race with a very low turnout. But […]
