A small-time south Alabama evangelist was denied bond on a murder charge in the 2004 death of his wife, whose body was found early this week in a freezer at the family’s home.
And his name? Anthony Hopkins…
Today on “Blog Bunker”, Sirius 110, I made a statement based off of a quote from Barack Obama from the Wall Street Journal.
Here’s the quote:
“Globalization and technology and automation all weaken the position of workers,” he said, and a strong government hand is needed to assure that wealth is distributed more equitably.
The Journal also reported […]
[The right-wing liberal] And they wring their hands about American bloggers

The next, oh, fifty-eight times I hear someone complain about the state of political bloggers here in Virginia (or anywhere else in the US, for that matter), I will remind myself of this post by Iain Dale (WARNING: the post is - at the least - PG-13, but drop-dead funny).
. . . might want to go back about five weeks or so when he, well, played the race card (Chicago Sun-Times, emphasis added):
The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or […]

If it was because a terrorist could remotely detonate a bomb or because it caused some interference with radar/flight communications, I could see why a House Panel would vote today to ban cell phones on domestic flights. However, that’s not the reason Democrats gave today.
Yes, Democrats want to ban cell phones on domestic flights […]

The Audacity of Hype played the race card, and then issued a denial so weak it would need steroids to compete with all of his other denials, flip-flops, and general switcheroos.

Word is the Dems. are officially without a candidate to challenge Congressman Rob Wittman in the Fall.

[Virginia Virtucon] People Tiring Of Timmy! VP Speculation?

From Politics1.com
VEEPSTAKES. The more Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (D) and his camp openly talk about Kaine being the “frontrunner” and “short listed” for Barack Obama’s runningmate spot, the more this is starting to seem unlikely. Either it is an intentional ruse in collusion with Obama to throw off the media from his real plans or […]

Remember when Gallup had one poll with McCain up four and another with Obama up 8? Well, only the latter was a tracking poll, but it’s been trying to catch up with the former ever since.
The day before the tracker had Obama up 8, it actually had him up 9. Today? McCain has cut it […]

Could this mean he’s considering a run for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, or some other statewide office in 2009?

The comments Barack Obama made in Missouri don’t need any further explanation; they stand on their own. And Rick Davis of the McCain Campaign was right to issue this simple response:
“Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. It’s divisive, negative, shameful and wrong.”
Here’s what […]

A breathless fundraising email plops into my in-box today from Mark Warner (why am I on his list? Search me). It boldly claims that:

Senator Ken Cuccinelli says it best as he wishes the GA a 389th Birthday…..From Senator Cuccinelli:Well, today is one of those landmark birthdays that ring through history. Though this particular birthday rings fairly quietly at this point. Of course I am referring to the 389th birthday of the Virginia General Assembly, the oldest continuously operating elected body in the Western Hemisphere
Not that this is any surprise, at least to me. But this is what I find infuriating:
