These last few days have proved to be some of the more interesting in Virginia, both politically and otherwise.

One simple fact that I’ve learned from the Republican Presidential primaries of both 2008 and 2012 is that Ron Paul will win any online poll. Now, there are a number of reasons why he does so well in an online format that I won’t get into in this piece. The point I want to make [...]
The Music of Ron Paul

Regardless of whether you care for Representative Ron Paul or not, you do have to admit that he enjoys a legion of loyal followers who express their support in a variety of creative ways. More impressive still is the fact that they are completely independent of the official campaign. While some methods are clever and [...]

Ron Paul Ignored
Posted in Political Musings, tagged Ames Straw Poll, Jon Stewart, Paul Jacob, Ron Paul, The Daily Show on August 16, 2011 | 4 Comments »
In my last post, I mentioned how disappointing it is that major media outlets seem to continue to ignore Ron Paul despite his strong showing at the Ames Straw Poll this weekend. Well, it seems that I’m not the only person who noticed this apparent media blackout regarding the 12-term Representative from Texas. First, I [...]

Well, with the summer winding down, fair season is in the air. This week, Augusta County is holding their annual festival. In every year past, I have attended the Rockingham County Fair and skipped the one to the south. However, as I’m still in the city of Staunton, I figured that I might as well [...]

For the last several days and the next week or two, I’ve temporarily transferred to the city of Staunton, Virginia. Located twenty-five miles or so south of Harrisonburg, Staunton is a place rich in both history and culture. Not only can you find places like the Frontier Culture Museum and the American Shakespeare Center, but [...]
