BRMC vote coming soon: Loudoun’s BoS should vote to support and permit BRMC

28 January, 2009 (17:50) | Human Interest, Politics, Virginia Politics | By: ricjames

The subject of the Broadlands Regional Medical Center (BRMC) has been a contentious thorn in Loudoun’s side for over 5 years. I’ve written about it on and off for a year, myself. The issue is coming to a decision soon and it’s time to take a clear look at things. Fact: the statewide agency responsible [...]

Obama to DC residents: Wimps.

Yeah, this will certainly boost those approval ratings. Good manners, Mr. President, mocking your new neighbors for being softies over not wanting to drive on ice. Smooth.

Dems’ clueless attack on Limbaugh already drawing accurate fire

28 January, 2009 (11:41) | Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

President Obama’s mere mention of Rush Limbaugh was an amateur mistake, elevating the status of a political foe while diminishing his own.

Al Gore summons DC’s 1st real snow storm of 2008-2009 winter, follows it up with an ice storm

How does the man do that? Al Gore was expected to be in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today to tell them that this whole fiscal crisis, the “stimulus” package, the continued national security efforts, and all of that are pretty much just distractions from the real issue: global warming. He’s going to [...]

Iran demands US apology and wants a cut of the “change”

28 January, 2009 (08:03) | GWOT, Politics | By: ricjames

Well, you can’t fault Iran’s Ahmadinejad’s reading of the PC playbook. Hyping criticism of Iran’s nuclear ambitions – to say nothing of the explicitly-stated goal of wiping Isreal “off the map” – into a “crime” against Iran is just what one would expect of some PC-nut here in the US. That does not, however, make [...]
