Possum Hollow Farm

Your Reading Assignment

Here is H. R. 1 the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009”. Regardless of your probable bias against it, it is law and it allocates a “ton” of your money for someone to spend. I have found a very small area of expenditure that could benefit Virginia; and, I have made my Republican Virginia Senator and Delegate aware of that provision that might be implemented to their own political benefit as well as to an economic benefit to our Commonwealth.

Many of you have far more… Continue

Bill Maher: Obama's Secretary Of Dumb

Saturday, February 14, 2009 Despite the fact that they don't have George W. Bush to kick around any more, the pathological need that comedians and other celebrities have to put their ignorance on display clearly hasn't taken a hiatus.

Bill Maher can be a funny guy, but he really knows very little about politics or policy. So it's absolutely infuriating when this guy gets an hour on Larry King Live to pretend he's a pundit. That must be what… Continue

Con Con

There is recent talk of VA voting in for the call for a Consitutional Convention. This must be stoped! There is only one reason for such, to abolish the United States of America as we have known it. Any such conclave would have the authority to completly dispose of the "Bill of Rights" as well as the Constitution as written by the Founders.

There may be well intentioned legislators who feel they could control the process to a tightly limited topic. Nope, it doesn't work that way.… Continue

2. No person who has never served in the armed forces or been continuiously employed in a private sector, profit making enterprise for less than ten years shall be permitted to run for public office.

3. No candidate for public office may… Continue
