Dems Nominate Jeff Dion for Occoquan Supervisor

The PWC Dems have their nominee for Occoquan Supervisor and it is, as we previously speculated, Jeff Dion.
Mr. Dion has already responded here on Virtucon to another comment by one of the  candidates for the GOP nomination for that seat, John Gray.  It seems that while Mr. Dion does indeed own property in Occoquan, some [...]

We are already at war with Iran

According to ABC News:
Iranian-made munitions found in Iraq include advanced IEDs designed to pierce armor and anti-tank weapons. U.S. intelligence believes the weapons have been supplied to Iraq’s growing Shia militias from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which is also believed to be training Iraqi militia fighters in Iran.
If this is true, then we are [...]

I am not a hothead…

I am not a hothead…..
At least that is what Sen.-elect Jim “Thinskin” Webb (D-WashPo) is saying today.  Isn’t this the same guy who just told The Hill newspaper through a spokesperson yesterday that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief?
Welcome to the party, Thinskin!  Unfortunately at this rate of [...]

George Will body slams Jim Webb

OUCH!!!  I haven’t seen Jim Webb beaten so badly since Ollie North cleaned his clock in the boxing ring.
Just check out Will’s first paragraph:
That was certainly swift. Washington has a way of quickly acculturating people, especially those who are most susceptible to derangement by the derivative dignity of office. But Jim Webb, Democratic senator-elect from [...]

What a difference 45 years makes

Anyone have any suggested edits to this for today’s Democrat Party?

Want to know Greenberg’s politics?  Check out who he has contributed to in the past.  Looks like NY Gov.-elect Eliot Spitzer may have made an enemy of the next owner of the NY Times.

Will Webb last 6 years?

The WashPo tells us today of a recent encounter between Sen.-elect Jim Webb and President Bush:
“How’s your boy?” Bush asked, referring to Webb’s son, a Marine serving in Iraq.
“I’d like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President,” Webb responded, echoing a campaign theme.
“That’s not what I asked you,” Bush said. “How’s your boy?”
“That’s between [...]

Frist Out, Gilmore In?

Hotline On Call is reporting that outgoing Sen. Maj. Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) will NOT run for president in 2008 and will hold a 1 p.m. press conference to announce that.
From Politics1.com:
Former Virginia Governor and former Republican National Chairman Jim Gilmore told reporters Monday he is considering either running for President in 2008 or running for [...]

Is This the Democrats’ Occoquan Candidate?

I just received word that Jeff Dion, an attorney and president of one of the Lake Ridge HOA’s, has been telling people as recently as a week and a half ago that he would be a candidate for Occoquan Supervisor.  Is this the Jeff Dion that participated in Earnie Porta’s commuter competition?  The Jeff Dion who [...]

Mike Makes It Big

Greg L. over at BVBL has a post up on Mike May’s big splash at the PWC GOP meeting last night as he ramps up to run for the Occoquan Dist. supervisor seat vacated by PWC Chairman Corey Stewart.  It sounds as if the Tom Davis machine is in high gear for May.

NEWSFLASH! The Free Market Works!!!

The free market, led by Wal-Mart (and followed by Target and BJ’s) is accomplishing what the government couldn’t — $4 generic drug prescriptions nationwide.
That seems to be a better deal than what HillaryCare or any various and sundry Ted Kennedy proposal had to offer in the past.

Can you say Chapter 11 boys and girls?  I knew you could….
The people have spoken and the death of the mainstream media is upon us.  Next up, the Washington Post.

ERA Rises from the Grave?

It seems that proponents of the Equal Rights Amendment, thought to be dead for nearly 25 years now, think that they can now get it passed by getting 3 more states to ratify it.  They cite the “Madison Amendment” concerning congressional pay increases that Congress accepted after a 203-year ratification period.  Supporters believe that Congress [...]
