No, this isn’t a car accident or a pedestrian whacked by a bus. Project Virginia – which is normally all about politics – brings us this clip from CBS News about a spectator at a Yankees game who should have been watching the game instead of blabbing on the cell phone. A ground-rule double wound [...]
Following a link on Hot Air that asked the question about whether Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor had “gone rogue”, I started reading this story on Politico by John Bresnahan and Jake Sherman titled, “Eric Cantor’s ambition raises concerns, debate.” I didn’t even make it out of the 2nd paragraph before I ran into something so [...]
As I mentioned briefly when it was announced, the Supreme Court ruled this past Monday in the case of McDonald v. Chicago that the protections offered by the 2nd Amendment are, in fact, incorporated against state and local action much like the 1st Amendment. Even though it’s being widely touted that this ruling has overturned [...]
I just saw from a couple of sources that the Supreme Court has just ruled in the case of McDonald v. Chicago that the 2nd Amendment protections of Americans’ right to keep and bear arms applies to state and local government action as well as federal. I am walking into an important meeting at the [...]

Micheal Silence on Knoxnews.com brings us this tweet from JimSmith_WATE: ABC News just said the earth passed through the shadow of the sun this morning, proving once again journalists are not science majors. You can say that again. Hat tip to Instapundit, who also posts this from one of his readers: I bet if Sarah [...]

Of course they’re spinning it, now, that the VP was “just kidding” but it looked and sounded to everyone present that he was dead serious about it. The only reason he’s saying he was kidding is that [...]
The Constitution directs the federal government to undertake a census of the population of the United States every 10 years and does so for a very specific purpose: to determine the number of representatives in the House that each state shall have seated. To deliberately skew that census count is to over- or under-represent citizens [...]
You might have heard about the Jones Act during discussions of the Gulf oil spill. In layman’s terms, it prohibits foreign-crewed or foreign-built ships from participating in domestic operations in US waters. By that I mean that a French ship, for example, couldn’t work a contract to pick up cargo in Boston and deliver it [...]
This just in from the Republican Party of Virginia: Fairfax’s Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA11) is providing p*$$-poor service for his constituents: Fortunately, the residents of VA-11, right next door, have the opportunity to correct this disastrous mistake and put a man in office who has their best interests at heart.
