New Year, Same Old Arlington Spending Priorities

by REDNOVATEAM on December 28th, 2008 at 12:06 PM
Posted In: Arlington

Well, Arlington Democrats are at it again.  Apparently the Columbia Pike trolley is on the “wish list” for 2009, according to the Sun-Gazette here.  The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority wants to spend $50 million for the trolley/streetcar to run up and down Columbia Pike.  $50 million!  I’m not sure how much a bus costs, but […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Tim Kaine leaves his mark on Virginia

by Not Jim Moran on December 25th, 2008 at 2:23 AM
Posted In: 2009 Governor's races, Tim Kaine

In a move that will hurt the Commonwealth for many years after Kaine’s term, Gov. Tim Kaine has decided to fundamentally  change Virginia’s budget.  An article on the front page of the Washington Post (Dec 18) had this to say, “[Kaine's budget] would transform the commonwealth’s old-guard fiscal policies into ones that reflect the political conversion from red state […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

McDonnell Opposes Cigarette Tax, WaPo Can't Take It

by REDNOVATEAM on December 24th, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Posted In: 2009 Governor's races, Bob McDonnell

Marc Fisher’s article in Monday’s online Washington Post is ridiculous.  (Here’s the article.)  He thinks that by opposing an increase in the cigarette tax Bob McDonnell is somehow demonstrating that he’s beholden to Philip Morris and the tobacco industry.  The tobacco industry is enormously important to Virginia’s economy.  Raising the cigarette tax to 60 cents […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Brit Hume Bids Farewell to "Special Report"

by REDNOVATEAM on December 24th, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Posted In: The Media

After many years as the anchor of “Special Report” and the face of the Fox News franchise, Brit Hume is leaving the anchor chair.  I have to admit, I enjoyed his newscasts.  You could always count on “The Grapevine” to expose glaring hypocricies, gaffes, and other comments Democrats made that the MSM failed to pick […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: 46th HOD Special Election

Here’s a little information about Joe Murray, the Republican candidate for the 46th District House of Delegates seat.  Courtesy of the Alexandria GOP newsletter.  I’ve met Joe myself, and can certainly confirm that he’s an extremely nice, energetic, enthusiastic candidate with common-sense solutions who understands his district and what it needs.  He would make a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Cheney: Biden is an idiot.

by Not Jim Moran on December 22nd, 2008 at 12:50 AM
Posted In: Joe Biden, National politics

In a bold interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday yesterday, Vice President Dick Cheney responded to a few political attacks. In his interview, he said,  “[Biden] also said that all the powers and responsibilities of the executive branch are laid out in Article I of the Constitution. Well, they’re not. Article I of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

McDonnell 1, Moran 0

Brian Moran wanted to challenge Bob McDonnell on the Republican record on taxes an education.  Oops!  McDonnell pretty well took Moran to school on this one.  Not a wise move, Mr. Recently Resigned Delegate.  Watch the fireworks: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjGnAVS-Mpw&eurl=http://kilosparksitup.blogspot.com/2008/12/video-of-bob-mcdonnell-tax-increase.html] H/T: Spark It Up!!!

Biden: Big Mess…

by Not Jim Moran on December 20th, 2008 at 12:21 AM
Posted In: Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, National politics

In my post yesterday, I suggested that Barack Obama would only be a one-term Presisdent. Given his vast popularity and ability to unify the country (or at least 53% of it), many people may be wondering as to why I say such a thing.  Well, as I was surfin’ the web today, I found the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Obama can't seem to catch a break.

by Not Jim Moran on December 19th, 2008 at 2:02 AM
Posted In: Barack Obama, National politics, Rick Warren

During the election season, the right was all over Obama for being anti-gun, pro-gay marriage, and for being “a socialist.” Now that he’s President-Elect, it seems that his biggest critics will be the left. Apparently Bill Richardson, Hillary Clinton, and Janet Napolitano aren’t liberal enough. Seriously speaking though, I think some of the biggest criticisms are coming […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Stand Up for the Presidency

by REDNOVATEAM on December 15th, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Posted In: George W. Bush, National politics

Okay, I don’t care how much you dislike the President, but the way he has been treated over the last several years is nothing short of appalling.  A couple of days ago an Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at the President.  He’s now apparently a hero in parts of the world.  Including, apparently, to one […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
