Ok, it’s time for the “average Joe’s & Jane’s” to take a stand. There seems to be an overabundance of so much misinformation about our wonderful Hanover Schools and someone needs to speak up and tell the truth. Several of the local newspapers featured thoughts from a small group of people like Mr. Ragan Philips. […]

I was inspired by the latest Watchers contest. What if we could have a new party in the US? What would that party look like? I am not yet ready to leave the GOP but this is a mental exercise. My inspiration was the short-lived but effective Free Soil Party of the last 1840s and […]

The three part series on the SOLs by my fellow blogger Tom White has been read by many Virginians. People are outraged! Here’s what to do: The SOLs are made up by the State Board of Education (SBOE). They can rewrite them. The Board of Education website does not have an easy way to contact […]

Brent Budowsky writes this ironically humorous article in The Hill supporting Harry Reid. Budowsky suggests that Theodore Roosevelt would support Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) since he is actually out there in the arena fighting for the right: Roosevelt continued: The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred […]

I was inspired by this comment in a New York Post article about the absurd idea that the funding of opponents of the Ground Zero Mosque should be investigated: She [Pelosi] famously discounted the Tea Party as an “astroturf” movement, directed by the Republican Party. She couldn’t process the idea of a genuine grass-roots revolt […]

There is an interesting race in Colorado. The Senate primary is June 22 and it pits tea party insurgent Ken Buck versus Lt. Gov. Jane Norton. Normally Norton would be the prohibitive favorite but in the tea party year of 2010, it is Buck with a double digit lead. I am conflicted here a bit. […]

Nevada was one of Ron Paul’s best states. He came in a distant but definite second over McCain, Huckabee, etc (Romney won) in the Nevada caucuses to elect delegates to the state convention. And at that convention, the Paulites took over that convention! The Las Vegas Sun reported they seemed to have the majority of the […]
