@MiltonWolfMD Is All: “Virginia Has Three Senators”, And I’m All: “Wut?”

by Smitty I mean, I’m used to checking the back of the milk carton to discover how long it’s been since anyone sighted Kane or Warner. Imagine my shock to see this tweet: Pat Roberts (R-VA) Wants 6 More Years in Washington to Do What Exactly? http://t.co/VaNy5xvh6S #47years — Dr. Milton Wolf (@miltonwolfmd) March 25, […]

Virginia’s Overarching Shame Revealed: Dave Matthews #1?

by Smitty According to this Time article, Dave Matthews is Virginia’s favorite musician. By that map, I need to move to Delaware, which fancies Rush, no doubt as an act of Joe Biden compensation. In fairness to Matthews, he’s funny. Here he is impersonating Ozzy Ozbourne, while Hader impersonates him. Dave Matthews as Ozzy Osbourne […]

Warner’s Political Scalp Won’t Cover Much, But VA Should Take It Anyway

by Smitty This new ad from Ed Gillespie shows he’s as serious as lung cancer about November:After five years of Obama’s running cluster-frack (you pick the issue, ObamaCare looming largest) it really is time for the voters to say ENOUGH to all of this Progressivism.

Sarcasm Therapy: A Hope for Cure?

It’s astounding. Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll . . . — “The Time Warp,” The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) Mental illness is a serious problem, but taking your problems too seriously? That will drive you nuts — says the guy who’s being sued for $1 million by a convicted bomber. Amid the […]

Gus Deeds: What Went Wrong?

Following up on today’s tragedy in Virginia — state Sen. Creigh Deeds was severely stabbed by his 24-year-old son, who evidently shot himself to death — I’m trying to find what led to the fatal conflict.
