More bad news for Virginia taxpayers.

Va. revenues exceed forecast
Tax collections rose nearly 6 percent over same period last year

With a Democrat governor, running a surplus can mean only one thing — time for a tax hike to cover an imaginary deficit a la Mark Warner.

"…with Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln"

Finally….

Ed Gillespie to take helm of RPV?

Our friends over at Bearing Drift are reporting that former Republican National Cmte. Chairman Ed Gillespie may be taking the reins of RPV. Gillespie did a bang-up job as RNC Chairman and we would be very fortunate to have his expertise at RPV.

Hillary For Majority Leader Still Not Dead

I’ve been talking about the idea of Senator Hillary Clinton forgoing a presidential run in 2008 and taking up the job of Senate Majority Leader.

Where does the GOP go from here? A call to arms.

Will Jim Moran try to remove Reagan’s name from the airport?

Now that Democrats will be back in control of Congress, will Jim Moran make good on his promise to introduce legislation to remove Ronald Reagan’s name from Reagan National Airport? From a 2002 Townhall.com article by John McCaslin:

WashPo Ponders How To Get Readers Back

Seems the WashPo is hurting for readership these days and is looking to retool.
How about being more balanced in your political news coverage and listening to what your own ombudsman tells you? That might be a good place to start before we conservatives start an organized boycott of your major advertisers demanding they pull [...]

Trent Lott wins Senate Minority Whip Position

Jim Webb lays the groundwork for a tax hike in the WSJ

Jim Webb brings his class warfare campaign to the pages of the Wall Street Journal:
America’s top tier has grown infinitely richer and more removed over the past 25 years. It is not unfair to say that they are literally living in a different country. Few among them send their children to public schools; fewer still [...]

Puh-leez……

Sen. Mel Martinez as the new RNC Chairman? I think not. Michael Steele would make for an excellent RNC Chairman, having served as both a county and state party chairman not to mention his experience as Maryland’s Lt. Gov. and a candidate for U.S. Senate.
