After a several day hiatus, I discovered I had a number of emails about the whole Cap and Trade issue. I’d like to share two briefly with you. The first is from the Harrisonburg City Republican committee. It lists the phone numbers of the eight House Republicans who voted for Cap and Trade. They are: [...]

So Much For Sanford
Posted in Political Musings, tagged Mark Sanford, Republican Party on June 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’m sure that you’ve heard the news by now. Governor Sanford of South Carolina travels to Argentina to continue an affair. When I first read the story, I figured his faked story was true; he wanted some time off, so he went hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. After all, we all need time to unwind, [...]
Looking for Employment
Posted in Political Musings on June 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Good evening readers. As I write this post, I find myself, like a number of Americans these days, trying to find work. I’ve been yearning for a position that allows me to focus on either my passion for writing…or politics…or ideally both. As my present employment will be coming to a close in less than [...]
Silence Means Consent
Posted in Political Musings on June 23, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Chances are, you’ve heard the phrase “silence means consent”. However, such a line of thinking has little bearing when it comes to American law. After all, we value the right to remain silent and the ability to avoid self-incrimination to such an extent, that it can be found in our Fifth Amendment and in the [...]
The Primary Cost
Posted in Political Musings, Virginia Politics, tagged Convention, Daily News Record, Primary on June 19, 2009 | 5 Comments »
In today’s issue of The Daily News Record, Jeff Mellott’s Primary Price Tag: $32,000 discusses the cost of the recent Democratic primary and it isn’t pretty. In Harrisonburg and Rockingham County alone, the bill to local taxpayers was around $32,000. Now I know that there are certainly a lot of fixed costs with holding such [...]
Won’t Or Cantor?

It’s amazing how HR 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act continues to gather co-sponsors. Since my post on April 30 when there were a little over 100 co-sponsors, the list has ballooned to 224! In fact, I just got an email from my Representative’s office on this very issue. It reads: Dear Joshua: Thank you [...]
Religion Taught In School
Posted in Political Musings, Theological Questions, tagged Creationism, Evolution, Public Schools, Religion, Sinfest on June 14, 2009 | 4 Comments »
One of last month’s comics from Tatsuya Ishida jogged my memory of high school. I, like I’m sure many of you, attended one of Virginia’s numerous public high schools. Mine was Harrisonburg High School. It’s amazing the growth in the school in the eleven years since I was there. Here are just a few random [...]
Botetourt’s Stand
Posted in Political Musings, Virginia Politics, tagged Botetourt County Republican Party, Republican Creed of Virginia on June 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
As I mentioned in a post back in 2008, Republican activists and politicians would do well to remember the tenants of the Virginia Republican Creed. These include such “radical” concepts like following the Constitution, observing fiscal responsibility, and promoting a moral backdrop for our society. Sadly, such thinking has fallen out of favor with some [...]
A Look At The Numbers
Posted in Political Musings, Virginia Politics, tagged Bob McDonnell, Creigh Deeds, Democratic Primary, Governor 2009, Jody Wagner, Mike Signer on June 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well, the results of the Democratic Primary are in. Sure, there are still a few unreported precincts, but, with 99.80% accounted for, the numbers are clear. Creigh Deeds will be the nominee for Governor and Jody Wagner will be the nominee for Lt. Governor. However, please note that all numbers used in this post come [...]
Fairly Quiet On The Voting Front
Posted in Political Musings, Virginia Politics, tagged Democratic Primary, Mike Signer on June 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As I mentioned in my last post, if you have any interest in the three statewide races here in Virginia, I strongly suggest you get to vote. I just did. The first thing I noticed when I arrived at Keister (my polling place) was the odd lack of signs for the candidates. There were no [...]
