Here we go again(?)

By Chris White From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This forecast graphic shows a significant amount of precipitation headed our way this weekend. This isn’t all of it, just part, and the surface temperature looks to be cold enough for ALL of it to be snow. By my quick count I just added up the potent…



SCOTUS to Paul Warner Powell: Let us know how that execution works out for you.

By Timothy Watson From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Not really, but one can dream.
The Supreme Court of the United States has declined to hear Paul Warner Powell’s case, so his execution should be scheduled (again) shortly.
Special thanks to commenter “Fred” for keeping me up-to-date on his case’s status at the Supreme Court in the comments section of the Paul Warner Powell page of [...]



Changes at Clipper City

By David From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

There are changes afoot at Clipper City Brewing Company in Maryland. Considering that Clipper City’s Heavy Seas beers are among my favorites, I’ve been remiss in mentioning the changes here. There has been some misinformation floating around, but Manag…



Dave Marsden admits fraudulent voter registration.

By Timothy Watson From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A month ago Dave Marsden was saying that he was living in the 37th district, now he’s saying he will “eventually” move to the district.
In this vain, I’m hereby announcing my intention to run against State Senator Edd Houck (D-17th). I don’t live in the district currently and I more than likely won’t be in [...]



Proposed Short Sale Guidelines (HAFA) – Part 1

By Sarah Stelmok From http://sarahiouslyspeaking.com • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, RealEstate.Local

The Treasury Department released a 43-page document in November 2009 that outlines a proposal for streamlining Short Sales across the banking industry and is supposed to take effect April 5, 2010.  This document is being touted as the next best thing since sliced bread and the answer to all of America’s Short Sale problems.  Not [...]



Don’t Stand Up While Speeding

By Andrew Flusche From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Jan 24th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

That advice may seem obvious. But an Arizona man is being charged with speeding, reckless driving, and some other civil charges for standing up while driving almost 80 miles per hour. This video clip is astounding: If this driver was in Virginia, he’d probably be charged with general reckless driving, which alleges that he was [...]



Donna Blanton’s petition for appeal hearing granted by the Supreme Court of Virginia.

By Timothy Watson From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 24th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Why? Because apparently the prosecutor isn’t supposed to refute the defendant’s bizarre arguement that the prosecution is supposed to do the defense’s job.
Or something like that. You can read the defendant’s appeal here and the Commonwealth’s response here.
Frankly, Bob McDonnell needs to clear the Supreme Court of these idiots. That’s what you get when you [...]



My Ford Escape Hybrid Brake Repair Experience – The Brakes Broke the Bank!

[Editor's Note: An update to this blog post is available Here.]I have owned my 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid since the autumn of 2004. It was one of the first few Escape Hybrids that were made available in the Washington DC metropolitan area and I was very e…



Filming a Movie in New York City

By Tina Morris From http://rifilmfestival.com • Jan 23rd, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The guy across the hall thinks our group of seven is making a porno. He comes over to complain about our repeating door slam, sees the camera, backs up into his own room, apologizes to us, and we never see him again. Personally I think he didn’t call the front desk because Ray looks like [...]



Getting closer!

By Chris White From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Jan 23rd, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

SPC has a slight risk for tomorrow’s East Coast storm creeping into coastal NC. Granted that we have several more weeks of winter to go, but can Virginia spring storm chasing be far away?
